The place to me is super far as it is located at the extreme east side of Singapore. The location is also quite ulu and it turns quite creepy at night especially if you park your car further down the road. overall the food taste so so only but super value for money! of cos, i wouldnt want to go there again unless i am somewhere near the area la.

cheesy enoki / shimeiji @ $9. a very cheesy dish to me. lucky for me, i dont get all ger lat after eating it. i guess probably eating small portion of it is ok but not all of it.

cream of mushroom @ $4.90 i like this. the strong taste of mushroom and yet not too creamy for me. and you can find small chunks of mushrooms in it.

tenderloin steak @ $23.80. the portion is huge and the beef is quite good actually but sadly, nothing special to mention about. =(.

Met up with a group of friends for dimsum on a late sat morning. Peony Jade is located at Keppel Club. It is the second branch in Singapore. The first one is located at Clarke Quay. Peony Jade is specialized in serving Cantonese / Sze Chuan cuisines.

this is my first time to their restaurant and this is my feedback!

Food : *** ( Must try their signature dim sum! my fav will be their taro steam pork ribs and their pandan custard bun!)
Price : *** ( price is quite reasonable. per pax is about 30 bucks and we ordered hell lots of food and there is a promotion for OCBC and Standard Chartered Credit card holders)
Customer Service : *** ( Super friendly staff who will offer to recommend signature dishes when we cant make up our mind on what to order)

Will i come again? definitely!

Here are some pictures of what we ordered!

ok something worth mentioning here will be also their QQ dimsum! they are famous for their dimsum that is made into cute animals!

little cute white rabbits are made of mashmallows and covered with shredded coconut meat. very innovative!

some other QQ dim sum…

Located at the new Punggol waterway next to the golf driving range. A small zi char stall. The area is really pretty small and the owner actually set up those like temporary tent to accommodate more tables for customers. The restaurant actually has been opened for quite sometime and i have been there a couple of times for dinner already but yet blog about it.

The food is pretty ok for selective dishes and the price is quite reasonable too. I wouldn’t say all the dishes are good but it is actually subject to individual’s taste buds la. like for example : some dish i will find the taste so so only but LL will love the dishes like crazy and will repeat order it each time we go there for dinner.

Cheng’s Seafood Village
60, Punggol East

Operating Hrs : daily 3pm to 1am

well, here are some of the dishes we had..

their specialty pork ribs. i find it so so only. seriously i dont really like the pork ribs tat much as i feel there is nothing special about it and it taste very peppery to me.

Chinese spinach broth. sadly, this doesnt give me a thumbs up but a down. the spinach is pretty old ( i got very high expectation for this dish as i love chinese spinach and very particular over the way how it is cooked). the broth also doesnt give me the wow feeling.

their home made toufu. this dish to me is ok. except i think it is a little over fried cos abit chao ta on the sides. or perhaps my mum has done a better job haha.

their fried mee sua. ok, this is the dish that i love whenever i go there for dinner. not too oily and the mee sua doesnt taste like “expiry fried food”. means they use fresh oil to deep fry the mee sua before frying it

Radish omelette. the egg is pretty soft but sadly, i dont taste much of the cai por lo

ginger fry venison. the sauce is pretty good to go with plain white rice. the venison is also not overcooked. worth the try

Tom yam..i think this is probably the only dish that set LL into disappointment haha. to me, i find it ok and not too bad. he feels it doesnt really hav the “tom yam” taste..but it is hard to expect a zi char stall to cook thai dishes that really taste like thai dishes la hor?

overall
Food : ** 1/2
Price : **
Customer service : ** 1/2 ( i dont really like the staff there but i give a 1/2 more cos they help me to put mosquito coil when i request for it)

Btw, did i mention that there are alot of mosquitoes there? lol. if you are there for dinner and afraid of commandos  you can request for mosquito coils =)

I am so in love with cushion BB nowadays! it has become my favourite makeup product and i am using it everyday for sunblock, light makeup for weekends and even my daily office makeup base! I previously did a review on Laneige snow bb soothing cushion lor -> http://princessmic80.blogspot.sg/2013/05/review-laneige-snow-bb-soothing-cushion.html

now i m bk for more! this time i try eTude’s 6 in 1 cushion BB and the compact powder! i must say 2 words! MAJOR LOVES

Reviews on BB cushion

the cushion house is slightly bigger as compared to Laneige’s and is easier to blend on to my face. the color tone although there is only 2 type but it matches much better for me than Laneige ( more more natural. Laneige one still abit off color if i put on a foundation base ) and provides more coverage. Overall, i prefer this than Laneige now. lol.

next for their compact face powder.

this is another my favorite product as compared to my chanel powder pact. lol. the powder is very light and easy to put on. it doesnt give the chalky feeling and looks very natural on my skin tone. it also covers up my pores and set the makeup nicely. it also controls oil much better as my face only gets oily after 1-2 hrs than normal 1 hr. it doesnt oxides easily too!

so thats the end of my 2 recent products i purchase from eTude house! love it! ending the post with a picture of me using the 2 products only.

i decided to pen this down so that i can remember and share this with others la. Phantom of Opera is really good especially Brad Little portray Phantom very well. I love his performance. However, is the way how the theatre is managed now upset me a lot and probably us, as the consumer needs to learn to be more respectful to others.

THe thing is like this. I enjoyed the first half of the musical until the second part where everyone went out to get drinks and some they got food. of cos, i do not expect the consumers to finish whatever they purchase within 15 mins (including toilet breaks), so they are allowed to bring into the theatre ( but i make it attempt to finish my drinks). To my disgust, they are now even allowed to eat during the performance. i m so upset.

Why?

1. i paid for the tickets to listern to performance. not to hear people drink and chatting. They even munch on pop corns. i could barely hear what the performer is singing. this is also about respect for the performers. this couple actually munch so loudly and the ushers did not even attempt to stop them. i was there for lion king, wicked but previously they did not even allowed us to bring in food! whats wrong with these people? if you want to impress your gf or what, please, act high class la. and not act as if you are watching a movie in a cinema. if you want to munch pls go somewhere else… and what? the management actually allow people to eat during the performance. this really sucks. sorry to say this , although previously i work in MBS and i know these people..but really sucks. if f&B wants to earn more money, they should set rules and regulations. this is really terrible.

2. people chat in throughout the show. the gf wants to impress her bf how knowledgable she is that she keeps talking and talking non-stop. the best is, she say “howcome Sarah brightman is not here with the phantom?” hello, if you want to show how good u are, please, do some research…if sarah brightman is here as christine, she will be the oldest i even seen. even if you want to chat or talk, please talk smart.

sadly. i paid for the tickets and yet i get sucky services. but i do want to give credits to the performers. they did very well.

Faith is about 3 month plus now which means Ronnie has left me about 5 mths already. Faith is growing up strong and healthy. i pray that she will continue this way. since my last handling with Ronnie, i learnt many things. time spend with pets are very short as they dont live longer than us, they treasure the time they spend with us more than us. and very often we took them for granted. especially me. I never realize the time i spend with Ronnie is so little that he is suddenly gone like that. i tend to appreciate the time i have with Faith more now. I am willing to sacrifice more trips, my classes for Faith ( although i did too for Ronnie).

I also learnt that commercial food are really bad! totally bad. somehow i feel natural food, homecooked food is always the best! everyday i ensure that Faith gets homecooked food. even her treats are baked by me. I now got a dehydrator to make pork jerkies for her. not that i dont want to do it for Ronnie. just that i din know that treats off the shelves could be so bad..after much read up, i realize food i have to dog is only safe through me as only i know what it is made of. I bought cookbooks to learn to cook for Faith, i ensure that without eating commercial dog food, her daily nutrient are covered with the variety of vege, meat..etc.

Another lesson i learnt too is that i shouldnt encourage the dog to keep taking medication. Ronnie had always been given steroids for any tom dick henry illness like lao sai, skin problems..etc. which is really bad! medicine are bad! the best way to go is herbal. with the last few mths of Ronnie’s life, i seen how TCM works and TCM uses the natural herbs which is safer and not damaging to the health. although progress is slow but at least, the side effect is lesser.

and also chemical used for tick repellents are bad too..somehow i feel Ronnie’s spine problem is also caused by too much chemical in his blood..thus now i use neem oil, herbal essential oil. i dont know how effective it is but it is highly recommended by my friend who is Ronnie’s dog trainer also communicator. i also adopted Ronnie tru her.

Ronnie is really a painful lesson for me and until now, i can still think of him and i cry. cos i din do enough, i thought i can take care of him. i know the proper way but he died becos of me. now with Faith, i will give her my best. i promise. i pray that she will stay safe, healthy and strong. Amen

i love the set meal from Watami cos they are super value for money! at a price of 69 bucks for 2, you get to eat many dishes already! this time, we formed a pax of 4 so i get to eat more food at only 129 bucks hahaha.  super duper value for $$

As usual, the set meal comes with salad, main dishes, side dishes, drinks..etc. there are some food items that are fixed and some you get to choose from the list of variety la.

the tempura and their salad is fixed in their menu. although is fixed, it is something that you die die must try especially their watami salad! i m not really a salad fan but i m totally in love with the salad! the salad is super fresh and the half boil egg adds more freshness to the veges! i love the crispy breadcrumbs too!

their tempura prawns are also very fresh!

their sashimi too!

this is something that you must order!!! their wafu pizza! unfortunately, it is only available in their deluxe set! the pizza uses a super thin layer of crust ( like nann) and japanese pizza usually comes with mayo..and i love mayo lol

next is their korean army pot (kankoku butechige)! i am totally in love with this! the soup uses miso as a base, the kimchi added some spiciness to the soup which blends super well with the instant noodles and korean rice cake! you can also order additional rice cake / noodles at 1 bucks per plate.

their tonpeiyaki! superbly good but sadly too cheesy for me lol!

next is their terayaki squid. although doesnt taste like rubber but is alittle too salty for me.

lastly is their irodori chirashi sushi! not bad. but i dont really like it as i m not really a fan of wasabi

food : ***
Price : ** ( go for their set meal!)
Customer service : ***

will i go again? of cos! needless to say, this is already my 3rd time to this restaurant in this yr!

This is my second time with OpenRice and i had so much fun! This time we went into the Havelock Neighbourhood to search for more yummy food!

A newly opened restaurant sitting along the road of Havelock Road. If you do not take a stroll along the street or if you do not live in Havelock neighbourhood, you probably will not notice this little gem.

This restaurant is opened by a lady boss who wants to share the love of claypot rice and she invented many fusion type of claypot rice for her children that is worth mentioning here! Many of the dishes are her own recipe too! and guys, fret not for the “always” the same claypot rice as ladyboss say she always want to experiment with new dishes to share with her customers!

Ladyboss and the host – CalvinTimo!

Address:

Signature Stone Restaurant

729 Havelock Road, Singapore 169649

Tel: 6271 9918

www.signaturestonerestauarant.com

So what so special about the claypot rice other than new fusion dishes?

Tradditional claypot rice is cooked using clay pot ( ya…thats y is call claypot rice ma). Stone restaurant uses the pots that are being used for bibimbap! The reason is because this type of pot will constantly keep the rice warm ( trust me..after i finish my rice, the pot is still warm!) and the constant heat from the pot will help to create more rice crust ( for those clay pot rice lover gonna love this!) and not letting it to go chao tah! and the best part of their rice is..they cook the uncooked rice in the pot ( all the way until it is cooked!) so you will need to give them a call before coming down so that they can prepare the rice for u!

another thing that is worth mentioning here is their sambal chilli! it is lady boss’s secret recipe and it really set your taste bud on fire!

now here are what we had!

Stone Pot Bacon & Cheese Rice  ($10.90) – Bacon, mushroom, herbs with cheese

a fusion mixed of western bake rice and chinese way of cooking rice. The cheese is not too much so you wont get the gek lat feeling. However, i feel the rice is a little dry for me. nevertheless, it is something new to try out!

next is the stone chicken pot  ($5.30) – Special marinated chicken, salted fish, sausage, mushroom and veg.

 this is my favourite! they added alot of salted fish inside and the chicken meat is very smooth and tender! guess what? they use drumstick only lo! With lotsa of chinese sausage and salted fish, this dish is like heaven to me haha. but, i find that a little more pork lard oil added to it will make it taste even better! but lady boss say they are practising healthy lifestyle but they can give additional shallot oil by request!

next  Stone Pork Chicken, Longans & Black Bean Soup (Big – $12.40) – Chicken, dried longan, black beans and slice licorice

This is my first time drinking soup cooked with dried longan. the longan added a different fragrant and taste to the soup. if you see from the picture below, the boss is super generous with the ingredients! and this dish is a super duper healthy dish for black beans is very good for legs, mushrooms is very good for lowering down blood pressure! and it is cooked for very long hours without MSG!

next,Wine Chicken – $8.00

a soup that will warm your stomach on a rainy day! the chicken is cooked in the chinese wine together with some dried chilli to strengthen the taste of the soup. The dried chilli gives the soup a little spiciness which helps to even out the bitter taste from the wine. 

next,   Onion Cheese Mushroom Omelette – $6.00
