Today is Father's Day!
祝愿即将要当爸爸的，刚当了爸爸的和我的的爸爸们，父亲节快乐！
Yesterday had an advanced celebration with my folks and grand-parents (
entertain them with a short mahjong session then dinner) and today with the family at Shin Yeh Taiwanese cuisine. Had a 8-course set menu for 8 even though there are only 6 of us - difference for set of 6pax & 8pax is only $30 and menu has the cold platter combination, prawns, fishes, chicken, scallops, soup, noodles and desserts! The bill coughed to about S$414... I personally like the fried oyster from the cold platter combi. It's delish. :))
After the sumptuous lunch, we went for a walk at Forum then had tea at Maison Kayser, located basement of Wheelock Place.
Fwah, the toast tea set was YUMS! I didn't take any photo cos I am so busy indulging in the yummy egg and ham toast. The tart set tasted yummy too, some chocolate with coffee thingy (
forgotten the name and I almost finished half of it). Toast set comes with a drink of your choice, S$13 and tart set cost S$6 with a drink too. I will come back again!
Yeo says he wanted to come down town to get a Timberland raincoat (
prepared for the forecasted rainy weather in next week's Taiwan's trip) so we meet up and so happen that ah Thiang is also a cardmember therefore he is entitled to an additional 15% discount from the 50% sale! #GSS2013
Decided to leave town for a local feast at Lavendar Food Court and queued for a 20mins wanton mee which tasted so-so nia... I still prefer the Hong Kong-styled yellow noodle. It is considered very ex lah, S$5 for a decent portion... Jessie says it's only two-mouthful of noodles if you ordered the S$4 portion! I really saw the auntie prepared the noodle, it's really as small as my fist (
I think I ONE mouthful can finish liao). O_O"
After dinner we went to nearby Chye Seng Huart Hardware Cafe for some drinks and cakes before ending the night. From the outside, the place looked like a run-down hardware shop but in the inside, it is deco-ed just like any other hip coffee shop. They have the ANNEX, which also features a roastery, a coffee school and a private coffee tasting room.
The Yeo's ordered the rasberry muffin (
was not too bad) and marble cake (
was too dry for Mrs Yeo's liking), ah Thiang ordered the daily brew which turn out not hot (
so asked them to make another new brew) and my home-made lemonade was GOOD! The first sip I took and burpped out just like I took first sip of coke, very gassy. SHIOK! The shiokness cost me S$5/glass. Wonder what's wrong with the drinks pricing nowsaday... all so ex de... can eat a decent McDonald meal liao! Booooo!!!
It is bascially another pigging-out weekend for me! *oink oink*
Did a wardrobe check for my upcoming Taiwan trip and found out that I can no longer fit into any of my shorts and jeans in the closet.
NONE. Siao liao!!! :( *contingency plan A-Z preeeease...!*
