Buffet @ Grand Copthorne Waterfront!

My family and I went to Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel this evening for a buffet dinner.

It was only half price, from $40 to $20 because of a DBS promo. So worth it right!

Quality of food is good, there was a pretty healthy selection of dishes, and the atmosphere was great! They had Oysters, Prawns, Sashimi, Sushi, Local fare, Western food, nice soups, Cheese, Desserts, Fondue, Ice-cream, etc.

There was also the view of the Singapore River from where we sat and there was also the music from the live band coming from the Piano Bar next door.

Beef Wellington! This beef is damn nice & tender! Serious! Plus I seldom praise beef. This one had 3 layers - pastry at the outermost layer, something else in the middle, then the beef.

Latest updates:

Exams Are OVER!!!!

Kukup TMR !!!

& Harry Potter Book!!

Cheap Seafood here I come!!!!

But basically I have a very tight schedule. After my exams today, I had to pack up my room in hall to prepare for shifting on Sunday. Have to wake up at abt 5am tomorrow morning and I foresee that i'll probably sleep at 3am, which translates to only 2 hrs of sleep. Gotta got to airport early in the morning, send Voed off, change RM, then head to ICA to collect new passport. After that, lunch with shan at Beach road, then meet chern at kranji. After that we will head to JB, then Kukup. But after returning to SG at night, I still gotta continue packing, then shift out on Sunday. Wah piang, xiong right?

But then again, the excitement of eating cheap seafood & harry potter book makes me so happy! song bo! :D

Regular updates

Here's a lineup of the activities that has happened and will happen:

1. XO Fish Bee Hoon, Holland Village - Thurs Dinner
   
   
2. Sarpino's Pizza for Supper last night - Tried the Ranch Style Chicken. It's pretty delicious and the taste is rich, however, I felt that the crust could be more crispy :)
   
   
3. Went to ICA to renew my passport today in preparation for the coming Kukup trip. :D
   
   
4. Had dinner @ Crystal Jade Kitchen, Takashimaya. The salted egg prawns were very good! and of coz I finally ate the Mango Pudding which was on my food list. whee happy! ^^
   
   
5. Ah.... and of coz, it was a pretty fruitful shopping trip today hehe.
   
   Bought more facial stuff anddd... *drum rolls* a good pair of heels!!!!! finally!!! bought a pair of very very comfy & obviously good quality heels. Brand? Scholl! The design was great, it was a nice pair of formal black heels for work, and most importantly it is a good pair of heels. Really, I think itz very difficult to find a good pair of heels unless it is from Nine West or Scholl. It was a pretty good deal at the sales. I got mine @ $60.10 and my mum got a pair of scholl sandals at $45. :D
   
   But I still wanna buy my new Nalgene water bottle & office clothes. Don't think I have the time to before the GSS ends.
   

FantastiC WkenD!!!! *Updated!*

I had a great weekend (akhir minggu) but I'm still waiting for the pics. Here's a breakdown:

Friday night (Jumaat malam)
had Indo Project Day where our class & those from the summer exchange program presented short skits, dance, songs and FooD! hehehe..... I was in the Menyanyi (singing) group so we did a few songs in the skit. The memasak (cooking) group made some light dishes like Tahu Isi (Fried Stuffed Tofu), Talam Ebi (Dried Shrimps Snack), Lumpia (Spring Roll), Kue Nangka (Jackfruit Cake), etc. Memasakan favorit saya Tahu Isi dan Talam Ebi (My fave dishes are Tahu Isi and Talam Ebi).

After that, I went for dinner at Clarke Quay, the Tent. It's mongolian BBQ and it's very yummy and interesting! I made my own spicy sauce.

Saturday (Sabtu)
Went for lunch at Sabai, a Thai restaurant at Suntec City. Wow, the food was amazing and it is also suprising. Why, you may ask? It is because they put ingredients in the food that you didn't thought would be nice but the combination came out great. There was a green curry dish where they had lychee and duck inside. The lychee was super sweet & it matches the gravy as well. Duck was lovely too. (Pictures courtesy of VoeD)

Tom Yum Goong. Did you realize that the soup was clear instead of orangy red? but it definitely tastes good.

Stuffed Chicken Wings

it tricked me into thinking that there was still the mid-joint bone lol...

Vermicelli Salad



Another interesting appetizer - it has Pomelo inside :D

Had the dessert - durian with sticky rice. This one simply blows you away lol...


Lastly....
This is us wearing green & taking photo with a green plant. Support Earth Day! :)

Dinner - No Signboard Seafood Restaurant, Vivocity.
The garlic baby kailan was good, and so was the claypot toufu and White Pepper Crabs, Chilli Crabs. Needless to describe that it was a good meal. :D

Ai Lin with crab claws muahaha...

Sunday night (Minggu malam)
After writing my essay for my indo class, I proceed to meet some of my jc classmates for dinner.
We went to Long Beach UDMC @ East Coast Seafood Centre.

Ordered Sambal Kangkong, Drunken Prawns, some Beancurd and Chilli Crabs!!
I must say that the Chilli Crabs & Mantous were very nice. Not bad! I enjoyed the crabs very well.

But after 2 days of eating crabs in a row, I think my crab craving has started again. Wanna eat more good crabs!! *drools*

Here are the pictures (courtesy of Lee):

Our Order for the day

The Chilli Crabs. Waaah so nice.

Monday night (Senin malam)
We went to Pho Hoa @ Holland Village for dinner. Ate the all-variety beef noodles, with flank, steak, tendons, tripe and beef balls. Not to forget, the delicious fried vietnamese rolls. ;)

All in all, I like this kinda life!!! Good food all day long! Fill me up with good food and crabs!!! :D
