Had buffet at Marina Bay Sands with sis & family on their visits to Singapore last month…

 Heard from my aunt that need to make reservation before hand cuz they are always fully booked. If you didn’t make reservation, you will have to take the seats at the walk way.

 Well, the first thing I see will definitely their fresh oyster, and seafood…

 They do have a wide variety of food.. 3 different types of soup, cooked food, fresh seafood, salad, fruits, japanese food, cheese,

 Desserts, fondae, cakes…

 Although I don’t really like cakes & desserts, but theirs really looks attractive and really tempted to try them…

 As for Darren, in order to have him sit quietly, well… just let him play with the games will do >.<

 That’s my servings… which I had 3 plates of fresh oysters + prawn + yabbies, 2 plates of salad, some mini desserts & soup

 As for these pics for mom & I, sis hand shake… so they r blurrrr… =.= even worse than  my camwhore pic.. cis…

 We had a very nice dinner there… with each person SGD 88 =.= I would say… this was so much nicer than dinner buffet at Line – Shangri-la … I wouldn’t blog about buffet at Line Shangri-la cuz I didn’t take much picture… but the experience was not good there. They kept everything in their fridge and if you are 1st timer, you wouldn’t know they even offer such food. Example: they kept their fresh cheese on their chef counter. If you want, you must ask from the chef. WTF!!! What is buffet means? It means you put everything on the counter so people take what they like. If I need to ask from the chef, what is the purpose of buffet? Might as well call -> ala carte

 Alright, that’s all for the rant & ravings of bad experience in Shangri-la :p

After dinner we went to Marina Bay Sands to see their night water fountain show at 9pm…

 So before that we went for a stroll on Marina Bay Sands… the new LV store still under renovation when I was there…

 Last but not least, the night view from Marina Bay Sands over looking CBD area

I went to KL on Raya weekend… to find food!!! and also leisure la :p

However, lets talk about fooddd cuz we just love food aren’t we?

First stop ~ Vietnamese dinner

Had this in The Curve … but the food quite disappointing. The taste is not good and it was even far worse than the vietnamese food I had in Australia before. Well, Australia one was the best Vietnamese food I have ever tried. Probably Vietname has the authentic and nice one, but I can’t find them in local yet, may it be Malaysia or Singapore.

As for their famous rice poh piah, it was cold. Means it was done earlier and kept in the fridge. So the vege inside wasn’t fresh. Totally a turn off.

The chicken pho, also one of the famous dish in Vietnam, wasn’t nice as well. The broth was not thick enough and it doesn’t have pungent smell.

Sad meal….

Next, cone pizza at Sunway Pyramid as my next day snack…

Saw this on my last visit to KL… but was very full so didn’t try it. This time, friend wanted to try it. And to our surprised, it was great!

The skin was crispy, the cheese inside was melting in my mouth and it was yummy! I just love it. Eat it while it’s still hot. Too bad it was quite pricy though. 1 cone pizza cost us MYR 6.90. Buy 2 at MYR 13. And it wasn’t that big. few mouth then you are done.

Third stop -dinner at Jalan Alor

I have to say, my friend has a thing for Jalan Alor 干炒牛河粉 or fried beef noodle in English. I don’t take beef so I don’t know what so great about it. But he insisted we go back there for dinner if we ever visit KL again.

And he always like to order a lot of side dishes other than his main 干炒牛河粉 or fried beef noodle in English. See the picture below for his beef noodle… just looks like normal cha koay teow to me :p

The food we ordered consisted of – bbq chicken wing (MYR 2.50/pcs) -> my favourite~! , fried asparagus (MYR 8/plate), claypot tofu (MYR 15/pot). All for sharing…

And only this 砂煲田鸡洲 – claypot frog porridge for me… cost me MYR 12

Overall, the food wasn’t cheap in Jalan Alor as they are targeting tourist. And you can find most of the workers are foreigners. The price I mentioned earlier might not be accurate but close to it. I can’t really remember much of the prices except the chicken wing cuz it was freaking expensive!

Forth stop – local delight for breakfast

Went to Asia Cafe at Sunway Giza there…. Had chicken soup for brunch…

As for friend, ordered their fried indian noodle & also Sabah noodle cuz he said the Sabah noodle looked yummy =.= excuse given by tam chiak ei lang…

When I saw his indian fried noodle, I was so tempted to cancel my chicken soup order and order the fried noodle instead… lol… gosh! Made me miss the fried sotong noodle in Penang so much!

The Sabah noodle was quite nice… I just have had a few sips of the soup only and friend finished it off…

So far.. just update this first ya….

Stay tuned for the next up on my continuation of  food searching in KL ~! Food food food~! Nom nom nom ~!

I have a sudden craving for laksa… and since I’m in Singapore, I should try out their famous laksa right? I still very much crave for my Penang Laksa! :p

Erin suggest we go Tangs Orchard for their famous Crayfish laksa. All right, there we go~!

To me, the gravy not thick & spicy enough. The crayfish was fresh though. So it was a plus to the laksa. But, the most important is the gravy and it was not thick enough. Not to say spicy enough as well. Well, probably to suit local taste bud as they can’t really take spicy food.

As for Erin, she went for the black pepper tang hoon with soft shell crab. It was nice.

The price for the food is around SGD 15 – 25/platek, depends on your selection. Anyway, this was on the top level of Tangs Orchard. Just a restaurant on some local delights. Check them out if you are interested.

Went to Artichoke for brunch with Erin on our meet up last month… pic taken while I’m waiting for her

Wanted to go “Food for Thought” but their kitchen were closed for preparation of catering… awww… so we went for our alternative lunch….

Erm… I literally forgot what the name of the we ordered… just remembered this is something to do with the mushroom… ordered by Erin..

And I went for their lamb xxx.. hahah.. forgot d name :p

Anyway… food was quite good… well.. cant really compare with Wild Honey… but… I still prefer wild honey.. thou the price at wild honey is more or less the same…

Lastly… we went for a drink at this coffee place… aiks… forgot the name as well… I have a bad headache that night after drinking this cafe latte… and couldn’t have a good sleep =.= so… I definitely cannot take coffee after 12pm =.=|||

Only left 1 last gift from sis haven’t get it from her… and I’m gona have a super belated bday gift from her as I’m only going to see her on Sept…. just post this first then…

Girl friend bought me birthday dinner @ Brotzeit Vivo….

They are famous for their pork knuckles.. and definitely German sausage….

The German sausage we wanted to order was not available that night… so we got salmon salad….and …

Pork Knuckle !!!!

Ok… to be honest… it was not bad… but…. there was some weird smell on the pork which I don’t really like…

Met up with another girl friend some other day and she treat me at TCC for high tea… I ordered some berries juice and we shared the high tea set…

Next… birthday cake cutting in office…there was another colleague has his birthday on the same birthday month as me… so we were sharing the cake together… hahaha…

Thanks to my colleagues for the nice chocolate cakes…  my 1st and only bday cake in 2011

Thou I’m not a cake person… but… I feel that cake cutting is a must for birthday.. tradition ma

Lastly…. my birthday gifts of this year~!

Although this year I do not have my mom, family, best friends, people I wanted to celebrate my birthday with.. but it’s all the hearts that count….

Really like to thanks everyone for being a part of my life and created such a great memories to me

Heard from my colleague that the brunch @ Wild Honey very very nice… so I jio my girlfriend to go with me… don’t worry… they provide all day long brunch.. hahaha….

The bad thing… you cannot make reservation in advance… you have to be there to put your name and come back in an hour time to check out for your turn…

And… after you have your seats… you have to go to the counter to check out the full menu in Ipad! and make your order at the counter… food will be served to you later…

As I googled for the best brunch recommendation in Wild Honey, most people recommended the English breakfast, European breakfast & Tunisian breakfast… so we ordered English and Tunisian breakfast for a try….

And of course a Latte to go with the brunch….

The food was super filling … portion is very big… when you see it you won feel it… but when you see the English breakfast it does gave me very filling ei feeling already… but… the food was really nice.. best brunch I ever had in Singapore… Oriole can’t even compare with them… but… price wise… it’s the most expensive breakfast I every had in my life! hahaa…. however, it’s worth it lor.. cuz really nice… worth to try it~!

Ok… both girl friend and I were craving for mexican food… and to our conclusion, the best mexican food we tried before was Cafe Iguana @ Clark Quay…

Again… definitely a big no no to Muchos Clark Quay!

So we were there for our dinner on a Friday night!

Chips with the tortillas sauce.. best of all cuz it’s free and you can ask for free refill!!

We ordered Burritos with chicken strips fillings in it…. and when we saw the dish… we knew we couldn’t finish it already… the portion was huge man!

We also ordered nachos with some fillings: mushroom, vege, beans rice…. so.. it was super filling for us as well…

The food super nice and really worth it lor… price is quite reasonable and the waitress all very friendly… no wonder they are always full house…

Looks yummy right? This is definitely another food place I’m going to visit again~!

Suddenly crave for hot soup… those clear soup type…. so I went to Soup Restaurant for my lunch… or I should say is tea time? hahha…This place is always full of people during lunch / dinner time… but luckily when I went there weren’t much customer… aiya… who will take their lunch during 4pm ler?

I didn’t bring my camera along.. so just use my phone camera took the pictures… but luckily there is this thing call photoshop… haha…. at least can sharpen the colour …

Since I’m craving for soup… definitely need to order soup rite.. and as expected.. the soup will be small size…but it was really nice… the taste of traditional chinese herbs is just nice … not too watery or too thick… niceee…. yummy…

Soup definitely has to come with rice… so I ordered their famous Steam chicken ginger rice… the ginger came with on a side plate… and they even sell this in bottle… forgot the price d… hehee…

The steam rice quite nice as well… smells nice after added in the ginger…. yum yum….

Last but not least, I also ordered their famous fried potato leaves with chili….. erm.. not spicy ei…. I think this dish is not special at all… and it was the most expensive of all 3 dishes -> $8.50 =.=

Lesson learnt: Don’t order side dish like this… not worth it at all…

Overall… food is nice here.. service also good (cuz no other customer).. hahaha…. but a bit pricey and the portion quite small…
