    Our Dinner for the night

    Lugang fried rice. each single grain of rice is coated with yummy delicious egg yolk that makes it look like gold on the plate. with super generous of chinese sausage and prawns..the fried rice not only looks colorful but also appetising for me.

    cereal fried rice. never thought cereal and fried rice can taste so good together. is like bff. lol.

    stirred fried season bean with salted egg. this is my favorite dish! yum. the salted egg is coated evenly on each bean. if you are a salted egg lover, you will definitely love this too!

     This Zi Char coffeeshop is located at one corner of 1036 Sembawang road. The place is alittle dark at the carpark area ( offers free parking) but is brightly lilted at the coffee shop area.Overall the food is quite nice and reasonably price.

    Food : ** 1/2
    Price : **1/2
    Customer service : ** ( the waitress just dump the menu at us rudely and when we ask her to take our orders, she simply ignore us. )

    we ordered a few dishes and maybe it is not their signature dish. and we weren't told which are their signature dish due to their bad customer service ma. refused to even talk more le.so we just ordered what we like

    Hotplate toufu.this dish is quite ok. generous with the ingredients and not too salty. but i feel the dish is abit not "hot" when served.

    Fish Maw soup. we love this. also, very generous with the amount of fish maw. the soup is not too thick unlike some.

    stirred fried beans. not too bad except the beans is super long and makes it difficult to eat

    butter pork ribs. strangely i dont find any bones in any piece of the meat. the meat is a little too tough for me and too "jer lat" (over cloying) for my liking. but if you take 1 or 2 piece is still ok.

    Dinner @ Majestic Restaurant.
    This is my first time to Majestic Restaurant @ New Majestic Hotel. Heard much raves from LL on their super delicious set lunch and they really make me drool lol.

    Majestic Restaurant is the award winning restaurant that features Cantonese cuisine by the internationally renowned award winning chef Yong Bing Ngen. they served set meal for dinner at 68 bucks to 88 bucks ( per pax) or ala carte dishes for approx 10-20 bucks per dish.

    For our dinner this time, we ordered some of their dishes from their ala carte menu. and they are super good!

    Overall
    Price : *** ( for 6 pax, we spend approx 400 bucks including tax)
    Food : ***1/2
    Customer service : ***

    Will i come again? Yes! and i will be back for more of their famous signature dishes!

    Their Peking Duck. the skin is very crispy and i love their peking duck sauce! I discovered a new taste too, it taste superb with their chicken rice chilli sauce! love it! i love their chilli sauce!

    we asked them to stir-fry the rest of the duck meat and eat it as a lettuce wrap dish

    chicken soup is very refreshing for us.

    homemade toufu is very smooth and soft. I love it but its a pity that the toufu sauce taste a little bland.

    Kurobuta pork chop! i love this dish! the pork is a little fatty though but overall this dish is really good!

    claypot chicken rice. I m so in love with this dish! their chicken rice is cooked in the claypot as in those hainanese chicken rice type! their chilli taste super gd with the chicken rice! i love it love it love it!

    ending our dinner with their durian desert! i was kinda disappointed with their mao shan wang durian with gula melaka cos it is freaking expensive and it is just purely durian meat. 10 bucks for 1 scoop ( super small scoop) =(

    i think a much worth will be their deep fried durian ice cream lol

    Our new family member
    Hilo, for those who follow me on my instagram will know that we got a new family member on Sat. Her name is Faith! I am very devastated over Ronnie's death and i always wanted to look for another pet to keep us company and here she is.

    For our dinner, we ordered their 3 course degustation menu and 2 other main course for sharing.

    Here is the menu for their 3 course meal

    they surprise me with warm bread for i usually had cold ones in some restaurants =(. Pretty good for the start of the meal.

    chef pot of the day

    for the main course, we can choose either crab meant, spicy tomato with angel hair pasta & arugula leave or grilled beef flank steak with chunky potato, black pepper sauce. I took steak for the first time and so far i quite like it. the only thing i dont like is, i feel the salt is not evenly spread as there are some part of the beef that taste slightly salty than other

    we also ordered seafood pasta and grill chicken for sharing.

    our wine for pairing ( from our friend..)

    for desert, we are supposed to have brownie but the manager is super kind to give us ice cream as we are too stuffed for cakes. =P

  • of Jpot-ing @ Vivo city

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    like many of my post, i always wanted to try new food but need kakis la. so on the very faithful thursday, i got 2 kakis to go jpot with me haha. Jpot (opened by jumbo) is located at Vivo city #01-53. always packed but lucky for us, we did not need to wait very long.

    there are various soup based to choose from ( about 4-5). you can choose 2 pots for sharing or 1 pot for each pax. however, we took 2 pots for sharing (jpot special broth and tom yam soup based ~ refillable). The ingredients is ala carte based and each plate cost about 0.5 ( for egg) until  X amount ( cos they sell fresh seafood so it depends on the weight ). The ingredients comes in small plates which i find the quantity is very small so we ended up ordering repeated ingredients or double the quantity for each order ( imagine chicken hotdog comes in 2 pieces only lol per 1 order).

    You also need to mix your own sauce for the food which i feel it will taste a little weird with sesame sauce + chilli paste + soya sauce + x sauce lol. so i insist on sesame sauce only lol

    Overall
    Food : *** ( Tom yam is not as spicy. Jpot special broth is good,)
    Price : **** (slightly steep)
    Customer service : ** ( we asked for refill but it took them ages to do it. We had to ask multiple staff to refill and only 1 managed to do it in the end.)

    some of the must try ingredient i feel : fried bean curb, prawn noodles, meat balls

  • of Taiwan day 8 ~ returning to Taipei

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    on this day, we did our last minute shopping at Jiu fen before returning to Taipei city to pick up our wedding photos. we did a quick shopping and lunch before we rush down to the train station to go bk to taipei. we found this small restaurant at the old street of jiu fen selling very good beef noodles!

    we reach taipei at approx 4pm and check in back to sunroute hotel before heading down to the bridal studio to pick up our wedding photo. wanted to do a little shopping until my mum called me to tell me Ronnie passed away and left me crying non stop at the train station. we both cried cos Ronnie is very dear to us and i couldnt believe that he is gone like that. although i m mentally prepared but still i couldnt take it. LL seeing that i cried so badly that he tries to comfort me by bringing me to eat shabu shabu for the last time in taiwan. cos he knows that i love shabu in taiwan but sadly, although i was sitting infront of premium beef i dont hav the appetite to eat ..the food just taste bitter to me although LL keeps telling me it is good. but anyway, i still managed to take some pictures of the food.

    after dinner, we headed bk to hotel and then i broke down again the whole night until the next day. until today, i still cannot understand y Ronnie choose to leave me or is it because i told him not to hang on anymore.but nevertheless, i m thankful that LL is with me during this period of time and been giving in to my nonsense when my emotion is at rock bottom.

  • of taiwan day 7 part 2 ~ Ping Xi

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    This is the first time we explored out of Taipei city and into Jiu Fen and Ping Xi. We heard alot of nice sceneries at Jiu Fen and Ping Xi. Ping Xi is very famouns for Tian Teng ( sky lantern) when u reach there, you can see alot of people flying their Tian Teng. Just for experience, we also bought one ourselves. we wrote our wishes on the lantern itself and send it flying into the sky.

    and yes, it is all bullshit. my wish did not come true. cos i wrote for Ronnie to get well but Fuck. he passed away the next day. What the hell. it only teaches me one thing. all these are bullshit. and to cheat money !@#@#$%%$#%

    we made a mistake for buying tickets to ping xi only. should have gotten the day pass but we only have limited time to go to Ping Xi so...

    the train is always fully packed with people.

    our tian deng (sky lantern) with our wishes..ok. mine for Ronine doesnt come true but i hope the rest will..damm. else i will b cursing the shop until no day no night. we got one with different colors on each side and each color represent individual meaning like health, wealth, career, happiness
    there are 4 sides and you can write your so call wishes on each side

    after they lit up the lantern, you got some time to camwhore with your master piece before letting it fly high up to the sky.

    and then up it go!

    LL took a picture of me at the railway track lol. realize  i wear the same thing yrs when i travel to Taipei lol. except now is dr Mart shoes haha. the trusty old jacket has been with me for a long long time! and it still exist! bought it when me n hazyham working in singtel le. at esprit lo.

    the weather was very bad that day. drizzling the whole day. and we are lucky that we both had hood on our jackets lol.

    queuing for their sausage again...

    every single shop also sell their iconic souvenirs ~ Sky lanterns. very cute but i din buy any cos i already got one in wofy which got me really pissed after Ronnie's death that i feel like throwing the damm thing away

     taiwan sausage

    picture of LL pointing to where we were

    we also tried their local soft drink. kinda weird as they got a marble inside the glass bottle. for wat i also dont know haha

    artistic picture of the sky lantern hanging at the rail way station on our way back

    cute auntie selling pineapple tarts that shaped like kittens. very cute!

    ending the day with Ta- bao dinner from the night market at Rui Fang food centre haha

  • of taiwan trip day 7 part 1 ~ Seafood delights at kee lung

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    we woke up late in the morning with breakfast hanging on our door. lol. i think this trip is the most nua trip i ever had. sleeping to make up to the sleepless nights i had previously but rest seems to be not enough. until today i still feel so sleepy and tired which i dont understand y. =(

    bag of breakfast...

    supposed these are the daily breakfast in taiwan lol. pancakes with egg, bread with egg and harsh brown  very local delights. and we love it.

    after a quick brekkie, we nua again for awhile before we ask Tim to pick us up for lunch haha. super nua ~ the two of us. but i am glad as we can get to spend some US time together away from work and meanies from work ( for me la)

    Tim took us to Kee Lung Seafood market where we can select our own seafood. Very similar to Zhu hai style where u select your own seafood and then look for the restaurant to prepare the food for u. Seafood in Kee lung is really cheap and super fresh!. we had crab ( female crab), fish (grouper), sashimi ~ Salmon belly (treat from Tim), lobsters! the owner is so nice that she gave us free oysters! total about 100 ++ bucks only which i dont think we can get anything in Singapore or even Zhu hai now!

    fresh n good salmon belly!!!

    so Tim brought us to this restaurant for lunch and each dish i think is cost us about 50 NT to prepare. The total cost of the seafood alone is about 60 bucks SGD.

    the salmon belly! look at the clear lines of fats! i love it!

    we also had some local dishes of veges ( local veges) and dumplings! very yummy!

    fresh bamboo shoots. and i m eating them fresh just like the pandas lol. and is super sweet n crunchy!

    oyster with wasabi sauce only. Tim told us that the oysters are so fresh that u can hardly taste the fishy smell and it is true!

    for the rest of our seafood, we had it steam only. Tim told us that we do not need to cook it any style other than steaming them! and only that u can taste the freshness of the seafood! and he is right! the seafood is the freshest that i ever had! the fish, crab and lobsters are sooo good that i can drool now every time i think of them lol.
    after lunch we had down to Ping Xi via the railway train..will continue more in part 2. Thanks Tim for the recommendation
  • of Taiwan Day 6 - Jiu Fen - Part 2 Kee Lung Night Market (food pictures....)

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    Tim drove us to Kee lung night market for dinner on our first night in Jiu Fen, it is about 45 mins drive from Jiu fen (our mingshu). The night market is very different from those we had in taipei and is packed with alot of good and yummy food. the food at Kee lung night market is also much better than in taipei. according to tim, those in taipei is too commercialized and you dont get to eat traditional taiwan food there anymore! so, guess we are in luck to meet Tim who brought us around for alot of yummy food!

    there are so many variety of food to eat and we got a hard time on what to eat lol. with our limited time in Jiu fen, these are the only food we managed to try. =(.

    bacon wraps!

    crispy chicken. we ate this almost everyday! so fattening..lol

    some deep fried prawn ..not really nice..

    fruit juice. mine is papaya milk, his is water melon milk. super good!

    glutinous rice and their crab thick soup

    famous taiwan sausage

    oyster mee sua

  • of skinny pizza

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    I always wanted to try skinny pizza as i heard much raves about it from my friends and food blog reviews but sadly, din really have the chance to try it. Why? Cos no buddy lo. Finally last friday, got buddy to accompany me to try it leh! so happy lor.

    so Friday, here i m, meet up with my food buddy WJ for lunch @ Plaza Sing. Skinny Pizza Located at the new extension of Plaza Sing. the place is rather small so when we are there, it is packed with alot of people. Food serving becomes really slow too as we waited for more than 30 mins for our food to arrive. =(
    Pizza wise, i still prefer Mozza @ MBS ( also thin crust). The Skinny pizza crust is too crispy for my liking. =(. but i do recommend their truffle fries!

    We took their set lunch special for 45 bucks. you get to choose 1 pizza, 1 main , 1 side dish and 2 drinks which i think is super value for money for us ( cos the food can serve 3 pax lo). to make it super value for money, we ordered their super expensive items in the menu hahaha. anyway, this is what we had.

    the elegant black pepper prawn linguine - 25 bucks
    smoke turkey swiss - 25 bucks
    truffle fries - 7 bucks
    drinks - approx 10 bucks??

    in total, the food we ordered is worth more htan 45 bucks muahahaha.

    our pizza. we took their smoked turkey swiss. the combination of blueberry jam and ham and cheese is really good. i love their pizza except for their over crispy crust.

    The elegant black pepper prawn linguine. a little too peppery for us but the prawn is really fresh and big! super value for money ( for our set meal)
    truffle fries. we super love it! 

    overall
    Food : ***
    Customer Service : ***
    Price : *** ( if you order their set meal)
