Nourishing Eight Treasures Peach Collagen dessert from @ManFuYuanSG. In recent years, peach gum has gained popularity among Asians for its nutritional properties. At just a fraction of the price of bird's nest, peach gum is rich in amino acids, and allows collagen to be easily absorbed into the body.
.
It was a refreshing dessert to wrap up our 5-course set. And of course, I wouldn't mind having younger, smoother skin! 😜 We like the food enough to return, just after our Weekend Brunch a few weeks back. Hee hee. 👍

Here's a beautifully spacious cafe I would love to do my work/ study at - @WalkingOnSunshine.Cafe. Garden-themed, it is dressed in various dried flowers and real plants, and offered a very relaxing ambience as soon as we stepped in.
.
He had the signature Striploin Steak 🥩 (S$21.50+) which was quite tender, while I had the Salmon Aglio Olio (S$21.50+). The pasta 🍝, served with a generous piece of salmon, was overall very flavourful - with lots of garlic and onions. Love it! The lusciously rich Avocado Shake 🥑 (S$8.50) was a perfect quencher too, after a long day out. 👍

I really loved the fresh avos with crispy sourdough rye toast in this brunch! I had my eggs scrambled, while he had his onsen. For those who know me, this brunch choice was really so "me".😜
.
What coffee ☕ will you choose to pair with this 🍳? Thanks @Burpple Beyond for making my morning brighter 🔆 with the 1-for-1 discount!
.
Have a great week ahead. ❤️

[#NewOnBlog] How would life be if the husband and I hadn't met back in NTU? 🤗
.
So, it has been some years since we graduated, and gone were the days when students just had to settle for hostel canteen food. (Hands up if you have experienced being stuck on a school campus from Mondays to Fridays before! 📚🖋️)
.
Over this weekend when we went back to @JurongPoint, we were impressed by the myriad of retail and dining options now available for residents living in the west and NTU students, one of which is @NjoyDiningHall. A multi-concept dining hall offering various Japanese dishes, it was a fun and casual place to spend an afternoon at.
.
We tried Sushi-Go for its affordable sushi 🍣, and also liked how it made use of technology to reduce waiting time - from online self-ordering to having our food delivered via the conveyor shinkansen train. One of the crowd-drawers was the ice cream 🍦 claw catcher at the restaurant's entrance. Every S$20 spent gives you one go at the machine! 😀
.
Swipe ⬅️ for pics of our food and dining experience. Btw, we also tried Roman Tei and Ramen Kiou (also at the dining hall) which serve beef rice and ramen respectively. More on that in another post!

Yay, ticked this off my wishlist!
.
We finally tried the platters at The Dark Gallery @FunanSG and I especially loved the Coffee and Chocolate Pairing one with both items made of 75% pure Tanzanian dark chocolate. The drink, with its slightly bitter coffee undertones, was the perfect complement for the rich dark chocolate brownie.🍫
.
Have an enjoyable weekend, everyone! 😍

So what started off as just an innocent Pokémon Raid at MacRitchie culminated into a full 3-hour hike across the nature reserve this afternoon. We entered along Upper Thomson Road at the east, went north-west through the Tree Top Walk, then across the MacRitchie Reservoir and exited along Lornie Road. And that was after a 2-way walk this morning through the Botanic Gardens (the Gallop Extension is up!). Perhaps we were subconsciously guilty of all the food we had been having over the weekend? 😏
.
Swipe ⬅️ for pictures of our hike. Felt really blessed by the overall cooling (though rather humid) weather. Ooh, so of course we deserved our ice cream after that! The Himalayas Salt Lemon Sherbet is a limited edition and he liked the contrasting sour and salty flavours.
.
I hope we don't wake up with jelly legs tomorrow after today's 20km exercise. 😅

TGIF! It's a long Deepavali weekend in Singapore, wished we had planned a short getaway. 😊
.
For now, here's a throwback to our afternoon tea break in Hong Kong. Food there costs generally lower than in Singapore, with all these food for 3 persons at @LawMarkKeeLMK, a cafe at @CityGateOutlets, costing HK$128 (S$22): beef noodles, pork chop noodles, egg & luncheon meat sandwich and 3 milk teas.
.
How much would such similar food cost in your country?

Rise and Shine! Throwback to last week's breakfast on Explorer Dream @DreamCruiseLine.🌞 The cruise ship should now be at Darwin already! 🚢
.
So how do you usually like your eggs prepared - Hard boiled, scrambled, poached or sunny side up? 🍳 I usually prefer mine scrambled!

The hedgehog just came back from Thailand 🇹🇭!
.
Or rather, it felt like it did 😜.
.
From now till 23 Oct 2019 (yes, only 1 week), indulge in an epicurean buffet spread of Thai fare at Sheraton Towers Singapore's The Dining Room specially curated by Guest Chef Surasak Pholdeeyiam (Chef Oui) from Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park.
.
While my eyes darted straight to the colourful desserts, there was a really wide range of authentic Thai dishes such as:
🔸Photo 1: Coconut Red Curry Crab (Gaeng Khuai Poo Bai Sha Pool)
🔸Photo 2: Watermelon Salad (Taeng Mo Pla Heang)
🔸Photo 3: Pomelo Chicken Salad (Yum Som-O Gai Cheek)
🔸Photo 4: Mango Crispy Fish Salad (Miang Pla Thord)
🔸Photo 5: Southern Thai Rice Salad (Khao Yum)
+ many other main courses and desserts. His favourite dish: the flavourful Green Curry Chicken (Gaeng Keow Wan Gai) with rich undertones of coconut milk, paired with some fragrant Jasmine Rice.
.
Feeling hungry already? 😋 The En*thai*sing Siam buffet is available at @SheratonTowersSG for lunch ($58++) and dinner ($78++). Swipe ⬅️ for pictures and video.
.
PS: Every diner stands a chance to win return tickets to Bangkok on @ThaiAirways and a 3D2N stay at @MarriottMarquisBKK. Good luck! 🎉

Safely landed here in Hong Kong and had a wonderful afternoon tea break at @LawMarkKeeLMK, a HK cafe.
.
Things look okay here, although everyone's rushing as the MTR will end service at 8pm today. Talk again later! ❤️

Happy Monday! Love this heartwarming golden garlic rice I had at Sakae Sushi. It was really flavourful, and look at the generous portion of crabmeat 🦀. 👍
.
Admittedly, it's been a while since we last visited Sakae Sushi. Their food range has definitely become more extensive after the menu revamp, e.g. this rice and other dishes available at the teppanyaki section. Thanks @Burpple for organising this eat-up! ❤️
.
What is your favourite Japanese dish? More food pics to come. Stay tuned!
