Toi and Moi went over to LH and NT's place for the feast of this festive season.
Thanks for the invitation! We had great fun feasting and playing Monopoly (Disney edition) :)
The turkey is surprisingly so tender and delicious as it's a "young" turkey.
QY with his precise incision skills dissecting the turkey...
MCK looking on apprehensively in the background...
The host and hostess with the host sporting a T-shirt that's a tad too feminine we thought it belonged to the hostess...apparently she bought it specially for him from Bintan for sleeping in with.
Well...different people do have different turn ons...
Toi brought Moi for yummy Japanese food at our usual place again.
We ordered Teriyaki chicken don, Sapporo ramen, Mayonnaise octopus and miso saba.
Supa yummy :)
Another busy day in the office because we have the TENCHO-KAI
A busy week in fact as we had 3 days of meeting back-to-back...
This was my lunch for that day as had to stay back in office during lunch cos of the meeting.
Toi and Moi went to the new Ikea during the weekend (Sat AND Sun ok).
We went to their famous cafe and as usual, it was packed like crazy.
It is bigger than the Queenstown one though but nonetheless still packed packed packed.
Seems like there isn't any capacity big enough to accommodate Singaporeans in Ikea...
So we had no choice but to packet Nasi Padang (as there wasn't any queue...the main queue for meatballs and the usual stuff were so so looooong) and eat standing-up at one of the standing booths downstairs where the hot dogs are sold.
Our Nasi Padang lunch fare: The chilli sotong & fried chicken were YUM! Of cos how can we resist the famed hot dog :)
We had to share the small little standing booth with other people...that's how crowded the place is.
Toi and Moi were in KL for the MotoGP race.
Valentino Rossi was so cool and won the race...we thought he wasn't going to but he caught up at the last lap!
The Podium
Ready, on your marks, get set, GO!
Vroom...vroom
I wanna be a MotoGP racer in my next life...hee
Men...they play with our emotions, insensitive and can't even take obvious hints...
Well, here's something (hopefully) to shed some light into their minds.
On 5th Dec, Ngee Ann Poly's School of Business & Accountancy (my Alma Mater) presented the results of a survey where about 800 Singaporean men aged 25-59 were interviewed.
Interesting facts:
- 34% of the men had no reservations about marrying a woman who was better educated, earned more, or came from a wealthier family.
(But if the woman was taller than them, this dropped to 22%) - 6 in 10 men said it's up to them to make the first move, as is footing the bill.
Some double standards (men!!):
- Half the men would not marry a woman who smoked
(Yet 28% of the men surveyed were regular smokers...) - 12% of men found it "forgivable" if a husband has an affair
(compared to only 8% who were willing to forgive a wife who strays) - 21% said they would not marry someone who is not a virgin
(but 31% said they were "OK" with pre-marital sex)
Bottomline:
Looking at the results of the survey,
if we are Taller than the men, better educated than the men, smokes and not a virgin anymore...we are screwed gals...
So unfair! Hope they do a survey on women and then it'll be pay back time baby... *evil evil*

Steps is so much fun!
Been stepping for close to a year and a half now and still not sian.
Waiting for class to start...
My pink water bottle reserving board for our Steps Prince ...
But the steps classes does get very territorial...
There were numerous occasions where I have been shoved and stared at just cos I didn't move fast enough while getting the boards or cos I have 'invaded' someone's 'spot'...
I remember once where my towel was already on the floor, 'chopping' place but this fellow stepper supposedly from the healthcare sector went to place her silly board right on top of my towel!!! So rude :(
DAY 1
Toi and Moi were at Melaka last week and boy were we impressed! The roads are definitely cleaner and better organized than KL.
Look they even have a nice man-made waterfall by the highway.
Moi was so hungry when we reached Melaka at around 1330hrs so we went to have A&W!
Toi's kind uncle came to pick us up from the bus terminal back to his home and brought us to this road side stall for more food despite our 2 piece chicken over at A&W less than 1/2 hour ago...we had braised duck noodles which is like nothing we had ever tasted... :)
It was home cooked dinner at his uncle's place before we set off to Mahkota Parade Shopping Centre for some shopping. We just couldn't resist eating again haha...had to have some pizza!
Nice cool slurpy coke float
Toi's friendly relatives came to pick us up after our shopping and brought us to this place call Newton Food Court for supper. Toi alone had 13 sticks of satay!! The wanton mee is to die for (better than the ones we had back in KL) you noe!
The Popiah
The wanton mee
The fishball noodles
The evidence: 13 satay sticks!
DAY 2
Toi's auntie made us some yam cake for breakfast...hmmm Moi still prefer the one at Chinatown leh... After that it's back to Mahkota for more shopping and food!
We shared a plate of Pasta with Chicken at Kenny Rogers for breakfast.
12:30hrs We had lunch back at Shakey's again! It's just too good!
Went to the temple to pray after that and then it's off to their local pasar malam for more light snacking. The chee cheong fun was made on-the-spot and it's so yummy! We should have pass on the mua chee tho'...Singapore's one better. We went back home after that to have home-cooked dinner by Toi's auntie. The braised pork was very good.
After dinner, we went to this place call "Chee Cheong street"?? - dun really noe the exact name...Anyway it's more food for us. It's like our local pasar malam only bigger with more interesting buys. It's also crowded. Something like Chinatown's market during CNY.
First stop, the Hee Kiaw noodles - this noodle dish is only found in Melaka. It is noodles with an assortment of fish toppings such as fish balls, fish cake slices, seasoned with dark soy sauce.
Next stop, char kuey. Ok la...frankly speaking, I've had better ones in Singapore.
And of course how can we give the famous chicken rice ball a miss?
Despite our already bloated stomaches, we had to give it a try. Verdict: rice ball is a tad "tua" for our liking, chicken itself tastes okie only. We'll still stick by our plate of chicken rice @ katong.
Toi's only regret is not having the stomach to chomp down their laska...we'll KIV that...
DAY 3
Had a packet of chee cheong fun before setting off to the bus terminal to catch our bus back to Singapore. En route back to SIN, we wrestled with the idea of stopping by at JB for more yummy Japanese food! We are mad really!!!
We couldn't succumb to the temptation eventually...Eating halfway before Moi realized she forgot to take pics! (sorry for the incomplete pics!)
Bringing you around this little tropical country of Singapore (and sometimes overseas) in search of yummy food!
在这个巴掌大的热带小国新加坡，到底哪里有好吃的东西呢？
你一定会刮目相看的，就让我带你走遍全岛（偶尔离边境不远的邻邦），去探寻美味珍馐吧！
