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...

Eat And Drink: Christmas with Starbucks & Final Giveaway for 2015

Have you tried the Christmas beverages from Starbucks?  美味しいです。。(Delicious in Japanese) This year Starbucks return with 3 returning favorites and a new creation, in both hot latte and frappuccino options. Latte Version Photo credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone Latte Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha Latte (Recommended) Gingerbread Latte Toffee Nut Latte Frappuccino Version Photo Credits: Starbucks Singapore New Creation:  Christmas Panettone  Returning Favorite:  Peppermint Mocha (Recommended) Gingerbread Toffee Nut  I've tried all the hot & cold flavors and I preferred the usual Peppermint Mocha in both hot & cold options. As for the new creation, Christmas Panettone, it doesn't give me any surprises at all. I think the dried fruits sprinkle doesn't do justice to the drink too.  Another item that I highly recommend is the Chocolate ...
