Mom birthday!
Yay mom's birthday! This year she's 52yrs old already. We never really had the tradition of celebrating birthdays, but we will have cake as a simple symbol. Everytime brother will buy the cake. Me just give red packet. Finally this year i took pictures of her birthday. This year she very inpatient, she took out the cake before even 12 mid night. Now is only 11pm and she already took out the cake and cut it haha.
The most popular bubble tea now must be from KOI cafe. Every time i passed by their outlet, i could see long queue outside. I decided to give it a try to see whats the hoo ha about. Just nice Prata also first time giving it a try. I ordered the most popular bubble milk tea with 100% sugar. You can choose the percentage of sugar if you are health conscious.
The taste was not bad, with a lot of pearls. There were at least 30 pearls judging from my cup. Pearls tasted yummy too. Not bad for a try.
Waa very full! Really very full! Just went for food tasting dinner at Golden Peony, Conrad Centennial Singapore. Conveniently located just beside Millenia Walk. I like their Christmas tree. Terry bear! It resembles the terry bear Takashimya Christmas tree, but this is nicer. Brown colour always gives me a warm feeling.
First time dine at this place, the hotel looks just like any other prestigious hotels that i went before. But the food was very different, especially their shark fin soup. The serving was as big as a tonic soup! 1st grade shark fin, you should really take a look at this big junk here.
Their dishes are all nicely cut up and serve onto individual plates instead of the traditional big plate on the table. Anyway there's a big bowl of flower decoration in the middle of the table taking up the space haha.
This was the starting dish.
Recently, i love taking pictures of tea. Goodwood Park tea left a good impression on me. Having high tea in the afternoon really makes me feel very relax and free of stress.
The dessert was nice! Mango Sago with watermelon and Pomelo. There was also a yummy roasted chicken which i forgot to take pictures zzz. Overall this was a very nice and sumptuous dinner! :)
How to get here: Take MRT to Promenade station. Exit to Millenia Walk.
Oh yea Christmas coming again! This year i got take some Christmas tree photos. Heres the Christmas tree from Parkway parade. Toy Story theme. The tree doesn't look very beautiful. But the swing was popular though.
I took two shots. One bright and one dark pictures to compare. I still prefer dark pictures haha.

Even inside Parkway Parade Shopping center also Toy Story theme!
There is going to be a "count the cubes" contest held at Raffles Places on 22-24 November. You can find Manulife's cubes at the walkway and pyramid area. Think more people will get to know Manulife after this, afterall Manulife have been in Singapore for 30 years already!
Wow this year so early i received my 1st birthday present lol. This shirt was given by my client, pretty kind of him. He also gave a birthday card too. Looks like my personal relations still not bad haha. Shirt from Man Studio.
I just revisited Botak Meepok (fishball noodles). Botak Meepok was my long time favourite meepok during the days when i stayed at Aljunied. The stall was located just opposite Aljunied MRT. The stall was not call Botak, i nicknamed it Botak Meepok because the boss is botak haha. His meepok was nice and the serving was plenty. Then one day hes gone. He moved to somewhere else.
Luckily not long after, i was informed of Botak's new location. Its just nearby the previous location but now this new location was quite deep into the small lanes of Geylang. Not really a better location than the former. The place looks like streets food haha. Obviously the crowded eating meepok is not as good as last time.
Woot me just back from my cousin's wedding lunch! My cousin Jason held his wedding at The Regent Singapore Four Seasons Hotel today. Really kind of weird and special feeling when friends around your age get married. Its like suddenly they became really adult and out of the single carefree life already. Good for them though, they really found their Mr/Mrs RIGHT.
Their memorable gift. Couple key chain.
Food is normal, the ambience is the part that makes this event special.
Free flow of red wine. I drank 5 glasses! Not drunk but feel sleepy!
Woot today first visit to Goodwood Park hotel to have high tea haha. Heard of Goodwood park but never once step inside to have a look.
I imagined it to be very posh and class, but really a little disappointed here, it looks normal. I don't really feel the high class ambience even with the live piano performance. Hotel Intercontinental got a better dinning ambience. My friends and i had their English afternoon high tea buffet at L’Espresso inside.
The buffet spread consists of an assortment of dainty sandwiches, salads, savouries, pastries, desserts, chocolate fountain and traditional English scones. Really english style lol. My friend said chinese high tea buffet is better, got laksa, noodles, dim sum...
Mouseover this image to view paranoma.
The high tea buffet comes with 2 free drinks. (No free flow of drinks zzz.) Of cos we had their English tea! That's the main point of having English High tea haha!
The seeds are left on the filter, placed on the cup when filling.
And there's Häagen-Dazs ice cream too!
Overall i think it is really a one time experience to try out haha. Even though it is a buffet, but it is very easy to feel full after having two plates of servings as most of the food are flour made.
Goodwood park L’Espresso High tea buffet: 36++ SGD. 2pm – 5.30pm Tel: 6730 1743
