Foodie Post #10: Shake Shack @ Suntec, Singapore

 Finally we tried this! When it first opened in Jewel, the queue was overwhelming! Now it has opened a few branches in Singapore (Orchard, Suntec, Tanjong Pagar). I tried the Suntec branch on a weekend, so we managed to get a seat straightaway. 

The first burger in the front is SmokeShack ($10.90). It's spicy as there's chopped cherry pepper, I love the bacon in it! And normal fries ($4.50). Comes with mustard and tomato sauce!

The burger behind is 'Shroom Burger ($10.80). The crisp-fried portobello mushroom is love! And we ordered a Pandan Shake ($7.80), which is Singapore exclusive! hmm, too sweet for us and it's best to share with 4 ppl.

Overall a nice experience, they even have a hand washing machine, you can just put your hand there and soap and water will flow out automatically. Not a very big fan of burger, so I would say probably 1 try is enough for me 😋

Foodie Post #8: The Boiler @ Tai Seng, Singapore

We went here for my birthday! They have this birthday promotion which you will get a free lobster with purchase of a bombdiggity bag! It's been so long since I last had seafood this way xD 

I should have taken a nearer picture, but it's kind of hard to capture the whole thing when they are all in the bag. So the top bag is the bombdiggity bag ($159). It consists of clams, mussels, prawns, crabs, smoked sausages, corns and the 4 buns below. You can choose the sauce to go with, and we picked The Works (Mild). I'm afraid that if we go too hot we would drink lots of water, and garlic butter might make us feel a lil jelak. xD

The free lobster is at the 2nd bag, with the choice of garlic butter sauce. Overall we enjoyed our dinner! The bombdiggity bag doesn't look a lot, but it definitely able to fill our tummy well! The menu says that it's for 4 person, but I think 3 person is just fine xD

One last picture of 3 of us! xD Hello ex-colleague hahaha!

Foodie Post #7: PLONK @ Serangoon North, Singapore

 Came here for lunch as I wanted to go somewhere nearby. Just notice there are a lot of nice restaurants around, should come here for food hunt again!

Fish and Chips ($23). Not the usual dory fish, but barramundi! Tastes quite nice!

Grilled Bone-In Pork Chop ($25). This is nice! The pork is tender, and the apple kale salad is nice too!

Seared Salmon ($25). Served with truffle mash, thought it is potato mash at first. This is nice as well!

This place serves nice foods! Wouldn't mind to go back and try other stuffs as well! xD

Foodie Post #6: SLATE @ Bugis, Singapore

 Wow, this is amazing! It's a small shop nearby National Library in Bugis. Their foods are amazing, as well as the drinks! I don't normally drink alcoholic beverages, but this cocktails are soooo instagrammable and nice xD

Hahaha! This doesn't looks edible 😅 but it's one of my favourite food here! This is called Textures of Cauliflower ($13). Honestly, the portion is quite small, but OMG! It will be the best cauliflower you've had ever tasted! Must-try!

This is Baby Scallops ($13). It tastes nice, but probably the cauliflower outshined this dish. xD

We had cocktails. This is Golden Wisdom ($17). 

This is Mai Lai ($17). 

And this is mine! Absolutely love this. Smoking Daisy ($20).

Wanted to try the Siew Mai Wellington, but too bad it's unavailable. So we had this Kopa Grilled Duroc Pork Belly ($22). This is very nice!! Hahaha! Forgot to take the picture of the sauce, but this is eaten together with the sauce and it tastes amazing!

This is Squid 2 Ways ($23). The black colour thingy is rice crackers by squid ink. And it's called squid 2 ways as they prepared the squid in  2 ways (fried and grilled). We like the grilled one more, it's nice to eat together with the mango salsa.

This is Banana Leaf Milkfish ($28). This tastes quite nice but probably because it's sort of taste like sambal that makes it seems a bit normal among the 3 dishes that we had.

Overall a very nice dining experience hahaha! They decorated with halloween stuff, and the restaurant is small and cozy, nice ambience and I like that it's not that noisy too.

Foodie Post #4: Una Una @ Bugis, Singapore

Went here with my ex-colleague. Was searching for nice Jap food and saw this place. Was hoping to sit inside Una Una but unfortunately it's full. It feels more authentic there hahaha! 

This is the Unagi Hitsumabushi. We ordered a Double ($19), which has more unagi. There are Regular ($14) and Small ($9) as well. Not sure how's the portion for Small though. Double is nice, the unagi is 🤤

This is the Unagi Sushi Roll Set ($14). It comes with miso soup as well as chawanmushi. Pretty cheap!

And this is the Salmon Carpaccio with Yuzu Dressing ($10.80). I love the yuzu dressing, it tastes like roasted sesame + yuzu. 
 

Nice and cheap foods! Satisfied!

Foodie Post #2: Arteastiq @ Orchard, Singapore

Kexin introduced this restaurant to me. I went here twice, once for dinner with Kexin, once for afternoon tea with him. xD This Signature High Tea Set cost $48 for 2 person. Nice presentation, food was nice too! And it comes with 2 choices of tea, which are very special!

Below was what I had when I went for dinner. They have a wide variety of mains and pasta as well.

This is the Myth of the Sea - Sambal Sea Bass & Dry Laksa Spaghetti ($25). The portion was huge! Generous amount of fish given as well.

Think this is the Sea Chanty - Spicy Crayfish Spaghetti ($20). 
 

Overall a very nice dining experience here. 😍

A new life in SG

I have always hope to work in KL as I had spent my diploma and degree life at Melaka and Penang. It's time for me to go back to where I come from. Life doesn't plan out like how I thought it would.

Thus, my working life began at SG! Went there a week before to settle down in our new home xD Shopped for electrical appliances and get a postpaid SIM card! So excited to finally have data plan :P

5 weeks of working life (not exactly working life, training life actually) were very tough. 2 weeks of classes and 3 weeks of assignments. Most of the time we OT until very late. I guess it's partly due to our lack of knowledge in the language and framework used. But time seems to pass very quickly because of a bunch of hilarious colleagues. xD

So we have two guys who always pop out some "golden words" that will later on be our "slogan". Hahaha! Compliments people with "Kuat Kuat Kuat"! And whenever we coded and wanted to try out whether our codes work, "Ini kali lah" can be heard. xD "Near" is like macam yes, but most of the time, it's not even near to where you want to be. xD

Besides, we have waffle break once in awhile when we can afford it (be it time or money). And 2 out of 3 JAVA groups would be slacking and relaxing while the other team did their assignment seriously. A fatter version of me will be appearing soon.

Now we are left with presentations! All is well. Thanks for the wonderful 5 weeks memories. OT !== Overtime, but Only time with you. Only time with all of us. Even if we are assigned to different project teams later on, I hope we can gather once in awhile to reminisce our hellish 5 weeks.

It's only 3 girls in a 13 people batch. 

So we have 13 people in our September 2017 batch. And out of 13 people, we have 3 girls. xD Love them to bits!

Jalan-jalan cari makan part 1 with them!

 We went to the office on a Saturday. And decided to just call it a day and went food hunt at Upper Thomson Road. xD Sushiro recommended by Jeremy. And 2nd round for bingsu! Best bingsu I've ever tasted. Probably because boss belanja hahaha! Thanks boss!

Sept 17 batch! Celebration dinner for finally submitting our assignment 2.

First dinner together with all 13 of us! Steamboat at Bugis! How I wish we went for a 2nd round, but I'm glad we didn't as the next day we still need to wake up early for work. xD And without the 2nd round I'm still damn sleepy the next day.

Jalan-jalan cari makan part 2 with them!

I'm blessed to have a direct senior who really worried about me going out alone for dinner hahaha! And that's why we have this random outing! I wanted to try this vegan burger and jio them together! Turns out it's not just vegan burger that we tried, we went for dessert as well as roti canai too!

Not to forget about my family who came to SG during my mum's birthday. Although I was quite busy that period, but still managed to go to JB with them and had a great dinner at AMK park as well as visiting Garden by the Bay for the lantern event!

Dinner at Cornerstone! My treat! xD

MBS!

Love this pic taken by sis! 

End of Nov - Dec!

I'm still as busy as ever, sleeping as late as ever, waking up as late as ever, and homework as many as ever. Still, I'm glad I get to celebrate occasionally hahaha! xD

First, I went to Queensbay with two siao zha bor. We wanna take pic with deco there! xD But I think the main point that day is foods and more foods! Went to Cho Dong Jib because BBQ Plaza is full. And bought llao llao and Aboong as dessert!

We wanna wear pretty pretty once in awhile hahaha! xD I started it first since I have never worn a dress this semester hahaha! xD BBQ Plaza another day as we didnt get to eat it today. >.<

And yes! Penang bridge marathon! xD I'm so happy I really join this. Because I'm so cheapskate I love all those freebies! xD Gonna really go train once I'm free. hahahaha!!! One fine day I'll start. xD

And next it's my mum's friend's daughter's wedding dinner. HAHAHA! At Kedah so I can attend! =D Foods there were really nice! And groom and bride are both really handsome and pretty!

And of course there are a lot more happening on this December but unfortunately I haven't got the time to copy my pictures to my laptop and with bad Wi-Fi connection I couldn't download pictures from my friends. Will update when I have the time and when I feel like it! xD Meanwhile, Merry Merry Christmas! xD
