The Asian Kitchen

It was one of the Li-sisters birthday and we celebrated it during lunch at The Asian Kitchen, Republic Plaza branch.
We pre-ordered our food and reserved a table so that we did not have to wait long, and it can get frustrating as the place is always crowded during lunch! When we left at 12.30hrs, the queue was sooooo long lor...very good business.
Moi's Fried rice with egg, plain simple but enough to cheer Moi (who has just returned from medical leave) up :)We also ordered this yummy toufu dish to share, very nice Moi lurves! It's sprinkled with crushed peanuts.And not forgetting the famous xiao long baos.Vegetables with mushrooms, yummy!Moi's coll's dan dan mian + mian cos the normal serving is just miserable...

Lao Beijing

Steps Prince and Moi decided to take a break from Tuesday's double steps and try out yoga instead haha so that we can age gracefully?? Heehee.
So we ended up in Novena and since the class ends early, we can enjoy a leisurely dinner after that.
Steps Prince recommended Lao Beijing, as Moi was coming down with flu, we ordered the "cooling" soup, 清炖凉瓜排骨汤. Very sweet very yummyThe interior of the restaurant is decorated like those 客站 we normally see in chinese martial arts movie, with big pots of wine waiting to be served to some kungfu master who is on his way to some 武林大会 haha开胃菜 was think some spicy szechuan or pickled vege京酱肉丝 with 白面皮 wrap, very tasty!农家香干煲 which is tofu with spicy gravy in claypot

Awfully Chocolate

This is the BEST chocolate cake in town!!
Cherry chocolate cake!
Yummlicious!!

Dumb dumb waffle maker > o <

Yes moi bought this dumb dumb waffle maker from the French hypermarket that sticks to the hotplate no matter how much oil you grease it with...(but it's supposed to be non-stick rite?...)
After leaving the waffle mix in it for more than 20 mins, it got burnt (proving that the thermostatic light which is supposed to indicate to you when the waffle is ready, doesn't work...) as there was no indication whatsoever :(
This is the end result after 5 exhausting and draining attempts.
In the end this dumb dumb piece of equipment landed down Toi's rubbish chute
总算消了我心中气
Non-stick, My ass.
Well. probably that's why it costs less than S$20 ba...
think moi shall seriously consider getting a Professional waffle maker which will cost around S$60-70.

Bishamon 毘沙門

After the 3 egg pratas, Toi and Moi were hungry again awhile later, so we shared a bowl of shio ramen from Bishamon.~sigh~ rubbish ramen
soup reeks heavily of fried shallots, ramen still not completely cooked yet.
This mini ramen costs S$8, we both agreed the 肉挫面 at Bedok is much much more satisfying and best thing is it's only S$2 a bowl.
We promise to just stick to Menya Shinchan's ramen when in Singapore...

Roti Prata from Arab Street

Toi and Moi had yummy egg pratas for dinner from Arab Street, just in front of the famous Sultan Mosque.
So so yummy!! 2 of us shared 3 egg pratas :)
One can find delicious murtabaks and pratas and briyani along that stretch.
