Vietnamese Food Lunch@Viet Cafe

Stephi is on diet and want something light, so we had Vietnamese food for lunch in the basement of a building near our workplace.
We both ordered the dry vermicelli type.
Stephi had the seafood platter while Moi (still going strong on vegetarian) ordered the vegetarian vermicelli.

Seafood platter
Vegetarian vermicelli

Flavor is just right, not too bland, unlike the Vietnamese food Moi and Toi had at Siglap not too long ago.

Moi’s vegetarian vermicelli was tossed in fish sauce and quite spicy but still bearable la.
Yummy yummy!

Moi's boss brought back this famous banana snack from Tokyo business trip.

Moi remembered moi's Française pal, Ling praising this snack.


Really yummy leh.
Moi thinks the banana filling is banana paste.
But it can get a bit too nua nua for moi's taste.
Dun really like nua nua stuff...

Aji Tei @ After Gym Dinner(10 May 07)

Long time never had After Gym Dinner with Steps Prince as he was sick and couldn't come for gym.

Steps Prince said that he hasn't had 和食 for a long time liao so decided on Aji Tei (Takashimaya basement)
Steps Prince ordered the Butter corn ramen
Verdict: Tastes like instant noodles...Failed

And grilled pork
Verdict: Not too bad, but Moi found it too tough

Moi ordered the Aji Tei shio ramen.
Verdict: Tastes like instant noodles too...Failed

Haiz...what is this??? Why are we paying restaurant prices for instant noodles???

Nite supper @ Changi Airport

Moi only had 2 popiahs for dinner.
So at 2100hrs, was hungry liao.
Toi then drove Moi over to airport for night snack.
Wanted to have Swensens but even at 2200hrs, the queue was still going strong!
Unbelievable.
So Moi ended up at Pasta Fresco Salvatore.
Should have had Crystal Jade instead tho'...regret
Moi thinks moi would be happier with their Q-Q noodles instead of this Al Fungi Penne. :(
