2nd Wedding Anniversary Celebration Part 1

2nd Wedding Anniversary Celebration Part 1 - Swatow Restaurant

We celebrated our 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary last week, 25th Nov 2013.

It's already 2 years of marriage life with Mr Wonderful. I had made plans for the special day few months back.

We woke up early at 10am, actually not that early, hahaaa, prepared ourselves and left home for lunch.

We decided to go Swatow, serving Tim Sum and Teo Chew cuisine, at Toa Payoh.

Upon walking in, the setting reminds me of my childhood, when dad and mum used to bought my brother and me out for our weekly Tim sum breakfast...

It wasn't that busy on a Monday afternoon.

We placed the order and waited hungrily for our food to arrived.

Mr Wonderful starts munching on the peanuts appetizer.

Taking selfies before the food arrives.

The first dish, Crystal Pau, arrived after 10mins. The skin is soft & chewy, like mochi... Generous filling...

The dumpling is big... Full of prawns.... Skin is soft and doesn't break easily....

Steam Carrot Cake with dried scallop

Deep fried bean curd skin with prawns.

Generous prawn fillings within, but a little to oily for my liking...

Mr Wonderful had this one. He always likes to order this dish whenever we had Tim sum.

Teo Chew Siew Mai

Too meaty for me....

Almost finishing our mains... Am looking forward for dessert but Mr Wonderful is feeling to full for more...

I had this alone... Yam paste with ginko. Very smooth and not too sweet.... Love it....

After lunch, we had no other plans so we decided to head over to the hotel for early check in.

Keep a look out for my next post on Clover Hotel.

Reviews: Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel

I've never been a fan of peeling gel. I've tried a few brands before, but somehow, I don't think that it works. It's not that it doesn't clear the dead skin, but rather, I can use the peeling gel continuously 3 times on the same place and still, there are lots of dead skin. So it's either the peeling gel doesn't work or I've got too much dead skin.... I got this sample months back when I shopped at the Pop-Up store at Ion. I tot I should try this out since I've been enjoying some of their products. It's a clear gel, turns watery upon application. I like the fact that the dead skins clumps together instead of the usual when they will drop everywhere in the bathroom. I did a second 'test' right after the first usage on the same area. Guess what? Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel is really up to my expectations.... The first application had removed quite a bit of the dead skin on my hands, and during th...

Mummy And Baby: Hospital Checklist

It is never too early to prepare your bags for delivery. You wouldn't want to run around the house packing your bag after your water bag burst. It is good to make sure your hospital bag is ready at least 2 weeks before your EDD, or even earlier. And it must be place somewhere where it is easy to access in case of emergency. Make sure your family members, siblings and husband know where the bag is, so in case you really forgot, they can help you to bring over to the hospital. So what should we pack in the bag? I will list them out in 4 different parts. 1. Documentation For Admission: 1. Mother's IC 2. Admission Form For Baby's Birth Registration 1. Mother's IC 2. Father's IC 3. Marriage Certificate Do check with your hospital for the required documents. 2. Mummy 1. Mobile phone & charger - Keep your family members updated of your situation. Keeps you entertain while waiting and to take ...

I'm here to give you some tips on how to make online shopping at QOO10 a breeze, without the fear of being cheated. 1. Sign up for an account The first thing to do is to sign up for an account. Click here to sign up now. 2. Search for your products Normally I will search for the products under the best selling category. It means that the item is very popular with a lot of buyers. 3. Check out the seller's/Shop's review Compare and check the reviews. Look out for details such as quality, delivery and seller's service. I will normally skip products that are cheap but there's no review, as I don't like to take risks. I will rather spend a few dollars more to buy from reputable sellers/shops. Another thing to take note is that a ...
