The Fruit of LOVE

i am given this to eat.
what love........

I simply love my awesome phone

we had been going around to eat (wats new), n trying out our new phone camera.
i think i can throw away my camera liao. the phone cam is awesome.



this is the new dessert from TCC. i muz say their excutive chef is awesome. ,ost of their food tasted good, value for money too.... had been our fav since many yrs ago.

 went to this awesome peranakan place at keppel club w boss n team for lunch. this burbur terigu is AWESOME. the gula melaka w the thick coconut milk n the sago......wah lau eh.....nice like mad.
 this soup is good too. v flavorful stock w minced pork n bamboo shoots. sweet n meaty. i can hav seconds for this.

 this dish is super super nice! the nonya chap chye is cooked to perfection....the veg is braised till it is filled w the goodness of the sauce.....sweetness of the veg + v fragrant sauce....go figure.
 my fav ngo hiang! but granny's ngo hiang is still the best. i miss granny. :(
 a random duno wat salad. sour one....dun like.
awesome babi pontek (spelling?). we requested for lean meat instead of fatty pork. n the server refused to chg for us. he told us fat meat make the dish taste better. u noe wat? he is right. super super nice. i like restaurants w big attitude. nv compromise taste for other stupid reasons. i like.

more updates ltr.
