Boo and I had been really busy with work that both of us decided to shop around the travel agencies around Chinatown area. There have been quite a few of promotions on Europe trips with at different countries and different itineraries... making us so indecisive.

But.. before deciding anything, Boo and I decided to feed ourselves with some good food! hahahah.. My craving, Dim Sum!! and  guess what, Chinatown point had fully revamped into a food paradise! We went into the Peach Garden which is well known for its' Ala Cate Dim Sum.. Whooo..

What are we have? The "Siew Mai with Fish Roe" is fresh and fair enough to eat, better than most of the dim sum in Singapore, the "Har Gao" has the freshest big chewy prawns with thin crystal skin wrapped around it... Yummy! and my favorite "Liu Sa Bao", just love the watery yellowish salted egg yolk flowing out.. from the bao the moment you bite on it!

Good food never dies!

After satisfying our cravings,  we studied through the travel brochures we took and initially decided on Chan Brothers. However, it was the uncleared itinerary that put us back a little. And.. it was until we saw EU holidays that we decided to try our luck there. Well, i think the travel agency is quite lucky to have a earnest and know what she is talking staff whom explained to us patiently about their Europe trips, and how they are different from other agencies. It was at that point of time, we decided that EU holidays will begetting our business already. ahahaha.. We chose the 13D Italy/Switzerland/France tour + 2D Dubai Stay (FOC)

The last year's literary... heard from the staff that there will be some changes after NATAs fair, hope it will be better than this.

Happy with the day.. as usual it ended well with Boo.

I am not sure what happen to me recently, but I am totally into tomato based soup or dishes which made me felt refreshed or energetic after having some of the hot food into my stomach! And that reason is sufficient for me to decide on whipping up a tomato vegetable soup and a grilled chicken with peachy cream sauce to have for my prefect dinner!

I hope these two dishes would look appealing to you !!!

Grilled Chicken with Peach Cream Sauce

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour
Peach Halves in Syrup (400g)
Chicken Fillets             4 Pcs
Whipping Cream           1/4 cup
Chicken Stock              1/2 cup
Balsamic Vinegar          1/4 cup
Spring Onions               1/4 cup
Salt and Pepper
Dry Basil

All chop chop and cleaned to go into the cooking pans! hahahaha. Let's get started with the chicken fillets first before preparing our sauce.

Marinade with pepper and salt to the fillets. Thereafter, make sure to powder the chicken fillets well to cover them completely with the all purpose flour.  Not so bad huh? =))

Heat the pan with some oil and pan fried the chicken fillets. Turn the chicken to another side , approximately 3 mins each side, until slightly brown.

And now that is the sauce I am going to make now.   Firstly, pour the balsamic vinegar into the pot and cook slowly till half with the spring onions into the vinegar. Add in the chicken stock and whipping cream into the pot and cooked till thicken. Finally, add some basil and light cook the peaches into the sauce without overcooking them.

Tomato Veggie Soup

Chicken Broth 300g
Tomato Diced  250g
Tomato Paste   50g
1 Cauliflower
2 Carrots
1 Huge Potato
Slices of Button Mushrooms

Throw the chicken stock and tomato sauce plus diced tomato into the pot till heated. Next, add the cut vegetables into the pan and let them stewed in the pot. And you got the end product after 30 mins!! You may add some pepper and basil to taste.

Hope you enjoy the food like me!!!!!<3

TGIF! Oh yeah, I can finally let down my hair for some fun with Boo tonight. We were thinking of going to Muhan Korean Restaurant to enjoy some BBQ meat and rice wine.

However, we were both so disappointed when we saw the big "Close" signage hanging out from the restaurant . Wild guesses were made between the two of us of what could have happened to our favorite eatery!!! At that point of time, so coincidentally, a man from the next shop told us that the eatery was closing down temporary for some serious renovation work. Phew, not closed down. 

Anyway, we approached the man for other alternatives for nearby good food and he recommended  us  the Chinese restaurant just across Muhan, called Bee Hiang (茗香).

By the way, I am not asking you to look at Boo in his favorite white-green strips but the decorations of the oriental restaurant! Hahaha.. Very chi-na yet reminded me of the wedding dinners I used to attend when I was young.

Looked at what have we got ! The Bee Hiang Fried Rice which consisted of some prawn meat, crab meat and eggs which tasted really good with the grains well mixed with the ingredients and the wok's taste that lingered in mouth for the longest time.

The prawns rolls plus spicy sausages rolls was one of the must order dish here. I concluded that when I saw almost 70% of the other tables ordered the dish. Well, the skin of the minced prawn rolls were crispy and the prawns meat tasted fresh. As for spicy sausages rolls, the skin were not salty at all,with the minced pork meat well seasoned. The dish was definitely better than most restaurants of the same!  

After having enough of the fried and carbo dishes, our only vegetable dish came! It was the stir fried sambal veggies ( I have forgotten the name of the veg). Oily yet luring you to feed yourself more with the veggie! It did not  taste salty at all and you can jolly well eat it alone without any white rice needed to neutralize the saltiness which happened to most sambal veggie dishes. 

Oh my..  one of 2nd my favorite dish! Stir fried Cereal Tofu!!!! The cereal tasted crispy and smelt good,  the best combination with the soft tofu. The tofu was quick fried first before cooking with the cereal which made the tofu soft inside yet tough on the outside! Good stuff!!<3

Finally the main lead of the night came! The 3 layered bruised pork slices in steam bun! Yummy yummy, just reminded me of my late grandfather. He could make the world's best "Kong Ba" which made me wanted more despite me not a pork eater. Missed him so much ~~ 

A great dinner which brought back so much of my younger memories~~ Truly enjoyable dinner with Boo !

Ever since I knew what wedding and evening gowns I am going to wear on both my wedding shoot and AD, my search for the one wedding shoes had been a frantic.  My whole 2 months' worth of weekends since April were practically burned out  for touting around the central area of Singapore.

Guess what, I even went to Lucky Plaza twice to look for the prefect shoes!  Anyway, let me show you how I got to the process of getting the 'one'!

It was the first pair of potential " wedding shoes"  from Vive which I found from Metro @ Grand Paragon.  The brand was quite famous for glamorous designs suitable for weddings affairs and ballroom dancing. Hahaha.  where did I get the information from? The wedding Forum!!!!
However, I did not get the shoes for my bride maids and bride of honors thought that they do not match both my wedding and evening gowns.

The other pair of shoes I considered to purchase was the pinkish colored peep toes high heels  I laid on eyes on at Eliza Litz.  I was quite attracted by the sewn crystals and its unique golden color at lower end of the heels. However, what backed me out was its 5" inches heel height. ( >.<"')

The pair I am going to wear for my Big Day from Anna Nucci! My "The One" shoes are sewn with glittering crystals at the strips of the shoes and I am able to wear it at least 2 different styles as shown in the collage above.  Best buy at $88 plus!

So looking forward to wearing them on both my wedding shoot and AD!!!!

Anyohase-yo!!! That is the very first word I got to learn from the Korean dramas~ Whenever, I saw a dinning scene in the drama series, I would wish myself was in that scene so I could get to enjoy the delicious side dishes as well as enjoying their homemade kimchi!



Well, I decided to make some kimchi soup and pancake to satisfy my cravings!! Hahahaa... Boo... if you were reading this post, bring me to Korea for the real thing huh? ~

Let's get started!!!! 

Ingredients

Kimchi Soup ( 2-3 servings)

2 cups of Kimchi 
1 packet of chinese tofu
2 Tablespoons of Chili Paste
2 Stalks of spring onions (Chopped)
1 Packet of Minced Chicken
5 Cups of Water

Kimchi Pancake (5 little pancakes)

1 cup of All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup of Water
3 Tablespoons of Kimchi Juice (yielded from the package)
1 Egg
2 Stalks of Spring Onions (Chopped)
Handful of chopped Kimchi
1/2 tablespoon of salt.


Kimchi soup

Getting ready with the ingredients with the tofu diced  and the minced chicken meat into chicken meatballs.  Pour 5 cups of water into deep pot and add all the ingredients above except the tofu.  Add the 2 tablespoons of chili paste and 1 tablespoon of sugar into the pot and boil over high fire for 40 minutes.

The Kimchi smell filled the kitchen..I had to wipe my saliva in order not to contaminate my soup. Hahaha.. After 40 minutes, add the tofu and continue to cook for another 10 minutes under small fire.  And... You are ready to serve the soup!!!!


Kimchi Pancake

Add all the ingredients for into a huge bowl and make sure to mix the mixture well. 

Pour a bit of oil into the heated pan and drop some of  the batter. Do try to make it into round shape and flip to the other side in a few mins.



Let's enjoy the meal!!!!! You may want to add the rice into Kimchi soup...which is the more preferred way I like to eat.

The Singapore 's weather was still under the "hazy" mode which made me feeling so dizzy and uncomfortable. I even had to wear the 3 ply surgical mask  from my home to the nearest MRT station which was only a 10 mins' bus drive including some walking.

The Mint green female Ninja!!!!! 

Boo tried to bring me to a place which he had kept mum of ( that was very rare of him) since he just love to blah everything out in front of me! hahaha.. love him to bits! Anyway, both of us alighted at Raffles Place Station heading... towards FULLERTON!!! The place where we had our first date before getting together!

Hahahahaha.. and we were a bit lost on the way as this time he was going to bring me to Forlino at One Fullerton!!

We were welcomed by a long walkway with monogram styled floor and before finally settled into the restaurant.  It is a beautiful place decorated in Roman style with the main colors of white,gold and the view of the merlion and the boat quay river overseeing the MBS as well as the Singapore flyer!

  The menu for lunch Ala Carte 1-for-1 buffet which was an offer made by the restaurant till June every weekend from 12pm to 2.30pm. You really must continue to stroll down and see all the foods they served.

Here comes the appetizer and the dish looked pretty yummy before putting them into my mouth. The soup was thick and the salmon with beetroot were a refreshed combo with the light cheese! The ham and cheese rolls tasted great but normal enough while my... the cheese and zucchini were something new to me which tasted like the Japanese egg rolls!!Hahahaha..

The Aglio Olio tasted pretty normal without much surprise~~which was a bit disappointment as I was expecting something a bit more from cafes like Bakerzin etc. =((

The Meat  main courses were next and frankly speaking, Boo and I were actually pretty full even before the fish and the pork cheeks came!  The fish fresh tasting -->the only word I could think of describing the steam fish but the pork cheeks were a turn on.... ( I feel like dancing as I put the first piece into my mouth). The meat was tender due to the fatty layer yet it doesn't taste too oily to swallow! I am personally not a pork person but I must recommend this dish!

And half way through our main course, Boo presented me the witch Hello Kitty which I was told he couldn't find it!!! Well, for your information, I have gotten all the hello-kitties for the fairy tale set!! All credits to my Booboo!

Last but not least, the favorite part of the four-course  buffet was the nutty tart together with the 2 scoops of ice creams ( mango and mint flavored)!!!Best dark chocolate nutty tarts and ice creams I have ever eaten!!

 As we look out from the windows, miracle happened!! The haze was pretty much cleared and both of us saw the clouds in the sky! Nice!!! I made Boo to take a photo of me with the finally visible scenery. <3 It was overall a pleasant surprise which I will never forget~ Thank you, My loveliest Boo!

After visiting there once with my colleagues, I couldn't forget the hospitality that the boss and the servers had shown us. That was the reason why I hounded Boo to bring me there again , a week after the first visit . I must say the location of the restaurant is quite inconvenient for people without a car. Nevertheless, that reason doesn't stop me from going there!

Hahaha.. nice food filled of different varieties right? The above potions consisted of 2 sets of pork belly and Wagu beef ! Each of the sets have big potion of Kim Chi , Korean beansprouts, some tofu and mushrooms together with onion rings and eggs!! Yummy yummy!!!! 

Other than the part that potions were big, the BBQ hot plate was tilted slightly such that the oil from the BBQ meats will flow to the Kim Chi and it was another new method for me to eat the cooked Kim chi ( cut into small pieces) with the BBQ meat only. 

 After finishing most of the meat, you may want to request a bowl of white rice and cook some fried rice together using the leftovers on the hotplate! Nice right? So much about DIY experience! Boo was so excited about it too!

 

I couldn't help but to pose as though I am a potential housewife! hahahaha... I did not cook the fried rice! 

The end product finally done! Credits to  Boo for cooking the rice and me arranging of the rice and doing up the decoration (yes, the little piece of cabbage).  

We had so much fun in the restaurant and we received a very warm welcome by the owner and server. Although there maybe some hipups here and there, due to the fact there were only 2 servers attending the customers and one cook in the kitchen. =) 

By the way, I heard from the owner that they are going to change the name of the restaurant, so don't be surprised if you entered the place with a different signboard! Do patronized  them because of their good food!
