We kicked off our long weekend with a buffet! 😍 To celebrate our nation's birthday 🇸🇬, Food Exchange specially curated a wide variety of Chinese, Indian and Malay dishes such as Bak Kut Teh, Black Pepper Slipper Lobster, Laksa, Prawn Mee, Kueh Pie Tee, Beef Rendang and Indian Rojak.
.
Our favourites included the White Pepper Sri Lankan Crab (wok-fried in rich stock and aromatic white pepper gravy) and Durian Pengat (highly popular!). You must give them a try!
.
The Asian Buffet Dinner is available at $54 nett throughout August 2019, because it's Singapore's birthday month. Swipe ⬅️ for more pics or view my "National Day" highlights for IG Story videos. 😉

This long weekend is a wonderful time to catch up with family and friends. Back at Full of Luck again today with the family and finally got to try this dish!
.
Overall, my parents commented that the food here is very flavourful, yet not too salty or oily. Almost like homecooked. Now, that's the seal of approval by my folks, so you can bring your family here too! 😍
.
Btw, there are currently two ongoing National Day specials this month:
🔸This glutinous rice + appetiser + 2 drinks at only S$20 nett; and
🔸3 signature tarts at S$5.40 nett
.
Swipe ⬅️ for more pics and video. The promos are really worth it, don't say #bojio! 😜

This happened because of the rare day we went to @JewelChangiAirport early and managed to get our hands on these coveted swiss rolls!
.
These rolls get sold out by mid-afternoon daily, even though each customer is only allowed to buy 1 roll each. Red velvet was sold out (because of the red-cake-white-cream national colours? 🇸🇬), but thank goodness our favourite 2 flavours were still available. Best eaten right on that day, super soft and fresh. 😉
.

Here's a jelly cake made by my in-laws' helper! I had suggested that she could consider replacing water with green tea but she creatively made this double-layered jelly instead.
.
The top was made of pure green tea, while the bottom was the usual osmanthus wolfberry one. I think she's pretty talented, don't you agree? 😉

The Mooncake Festival is coming soon again! This year, Li Bai introduces 2 new flavours:
.
🔸[Baked] Super Seeds Mixed Nuts (S$76 for 4): Definitely my favourite, cos I really love the crunch in these! Each piece packs a nutritional punch of wholesome elements that lends a textural contrast of sweet and savoury flavours with each bite. Incorporating 10 healthy ingredients comprising superfoods that are rich in anti-oxidants, the medley consists of chia seed, walnut, macadamia nut, almond, pine nut, prune, pistachio, apricot, melon seed and goji berry.
.
🔸[Snowskin] Mini Chia Seed Dark Chocolate (S$68 for 8): Here's one for those like bitter sweet dark chocolate. This flavour is a healthful indulgent creation generously studded with chia seeds. What a good way to sneak some of these superfood into a chocoholic's diet! 😏
.
Swipe ⬅️ for more pics and video! These mooncakes make perfect gifts for family and clients. Which would you like to try? ❤️

寿. Or longevity in Chinese.

Throwback to when we celebrated our uncle's 70th birthday at Golden Peony. Wonderful Cantonese food and impeccable service. 👍 More posts coming up!

Who says eating healthy is always boring? Here's one colourful salad for some mid-week cheer! Particularly like the strawberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and avocados. 🤗.

Dark chocolate sorbet with intensely strong coffee, flanked by brownie chunks and chocolate streusels. What could possibly go wrong? 😉
.
So glad we finally tried this dessert/ coffee bar at Cluny Court - even if it meant gaining back those calories burnt during our exercise at Botanic Garden.
.
A recommended item on the menu, the Death By Chocolate was definitely something up our alley. Cold chocolate and hot coffee... What a perfect combination! 😍 Swipe ⬅️ for video.

Brunch food. Just give me anything with avocado and/or egg, and I will take it. My kinda food any time, though best enjoyed slowly on a weekend. 😜
.
Too bad I have to cut down on coffee (gives me headache/ gastric sometimes), else I will get one of that to pair with this too.
.
Have a great weekend, everyone! ❤️

August - the month of family celebrations and gatherings for us. ❤️
.
We chose the Silver Needle set (S$118++/pax) for my mother-in-law's birthday and this noodles was clearly my favourite amongst the dishes. The lobster was really flavourful and there was such a generous serving of lobster meat in there!
.
Btw, have you heard that egg noodles/ 伊面 🍜 is eaten on birthdays as a symbol of longevity? 😜

Served hot and stuffed with lots of pork and chicken fillings, the meat was overall very soft and tender. This dish was definitely a lot of substance and no filler, really yummy and especially recommended for those who like chicken wings but don’t want to get their hands dirty (like me! 😆).
.
Remember to dip those wings into the restaurant’s homemade chilli sauce for that extra oomph!🌶️
