I miss Japan!

We've been back from Tokyo for a while now and we miss the place terribly! Nice place, food and people. Wouldn't mind going back there again. Here's peek of Mt. Fuji that we managed to capture. Will update more about the trip later.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something colourful in blue!

The complete phrase is: 

Something old, something new 

Something borrowed, something blue 

And a silver sixpence in her shoe

Can't believe it's almost 3 months since our wedding. Could not have asked for a more perfect day. After a year of planning everything, the day flew by so fast. Everything went well and according to plan. :)

Let me share my flowers and decoration of the day. I'm so glad I chose the right florist/decorator, cause she made it all so pretty for me! I met up with her beginning of this year to discuss the type of flowers (of course i had only gerberas in mind) and colours (i wanted a blue/white theme). She understood what i wanted, and made it more awesome for me. Thanks Jacqie!

Here's some pictures for you all to see.

History

I've been reading my old posts today. Can't believed it has been so many years. I sounded so enthusiastic and had a lot more !!!! in my sentences. Some things i can't remember at all like movies i watched (The Producers 2005 and Lucky Number Slevin). And some things i said made me cringe. Haha..

I blogged more often then, had more readers and commentators! But now i seemed to be more lazy although blogging has been made easier. Maybe it's because i have so many photos to post up. It's all piling up! Ok, got to admit that most of my post are about food. Need to convert to smaller photo size for easier uploads.

Reading my old posts was fun. A lot of memories. Lots of photos of Josh. Must show it to him one day. Went for a lot of holidays! But not to despair (yes, talking to myself here), we'll be traveling soon to a place i've always wanted to visit. It shall be revealed later.

Alright, am determined to blog more often and clear my backlog of photos.

Adventure Time - Dancing Baby Finn

Been watching Adventure Time nowadays. Great cartoon!

It's been a while

I know, i know...i've not blogged in a while. I was busy doing....stuff

Promise to write more soon.

J Tean Kitchen

Another celebration of my bf's birthday was over lunch at J Tean Kitchen at SS Two Mall. I've heard of their Bak Kut Teh flavoured burger, and of course we were interested to find out how it would taste like. We all ordered a few different things and tried each others food. (Just realised i forgot to take a picture of the pumpkin soup! Or maybe it's in another camera. Will investigate further).

The deco is quite nice, all white with a Chinese-y feel to it. But I found the table and chairs we sat in quite uncomfortable.

Cool lamps!

The other part of the restaurant

Of course we ordered their BKT J-Pork Burger. It had a light BKT taste to it, and there was another sauce in it that we tasted in the J-Porky Bun as well. This burger was ok. Doesn't have a strong BKT taste.

I call it the BKT burger

The Bf loves his BKT, so he ordered their BKT for 1 person. The soup was acceptable, as we like the darker version. Served with rice and garlic + cili padi. We only like certain BKT restaurants, so it's hard to satisfy our tastes.

BKT for 1 person

Some spaghetti, didn't try it

J-Porky Bun. Tastes alright

We ordered the pork knuckle to share. Couldn't get a picture of the before, as the waiters straightaway cut it up for us. I didn't quite like it as it was kinda dry and not that tasty.

J Knuckle

Overall the food is okay. Won't be going there much, as SS Two Mall kinda lacks in tenants.

Ben's General Food Store

I know. I've not blogged for ages. I know. The list of things i need to blog about is piling up! So let me start with this one.

I celebrated my bf's birthday lunch at Ben's General Food Store at Bangsar Village. Love their deco and concept. We heard their breakfast pizza was great, but we tried out something else instead. As usual, i'll let the pictures do the talking.

The dessert station

The bf's flat white

I don't like my coffee too milky, so i went for a cappuccino

Our usual Caesar Salad. That's a crunchy bacon you see there

Carnivore pizza. Yes, we love our meat

And dessert of course. Classic chocolate cake. Yummmmmy.

Was a really good lunch. Will try their breakfast pizza next!

A visit to Checkers

What happens when 4 adults go to a wholesale supermarket with all kinds of junk food from yesteryears?

The bill

Our loot

We were all so excited, remembering the kinds of tidbits we enjoyed when we were in school. Especially the kinds that had small gifts in it.

Dinner and dessert at Holland Village

When we were in Singapore in April (i know, i know, it's 2 months ago), we went to Holland Village for dinner with friends. Had steamboat at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. It was a buffet style steamboat and you can order as much xiao long bao as you want!

The dinner was good, I especially enjoyed the yam as it comes fried. Yummy yams! They prawns given were big and fresh and don't get me started on the meat.

After dinner, we all decided to have dessert somewhere nearby, and so we headed to nydc. We all shared the desserts as we were already quite stuffed from dinner. (But dessert was a must!)

Affagato

I think this one is elmer fudge cake

The famous boo boo cake

Was a great end to the night. Had a lovely meal coupled with great company. Some whom we have not seen for 5 years! This was sure an enjoyable trip.

Tony Roma's, Singapore

Was in Singapore earlier this month with the bf, so we took the opportunity to have dinner at Tony Roma's. Since you can't get their baby back ribs back here.

For starters, we had half the onion loaf. It's just onion rings stacked nicely. No biggie.

For the main course, we ordered the combo for 2. It consists of ribs, with southwestern chicken, ribeye steak, corn on the cob and coleslaw. The ribs and steak were oh-so tasty! Yums!

the combo platter

Couldn't finish the whole platter, had to doggy bag it and had it for supper. Would definitely go back for the baby back ribs again!!

Dinner at Qba

A couple of weekends ago, we had dinner at Qba located at Westin Hotel. It was our first time there, so we were looking forward to a nice dinner with friends. I was quite trigger happy the whole night, taking photos of all our food and stopping people from eating first. Here are the pictures.

The obligatory menu picture

Our still empty table

Heard they had to fly in a special team to paint the walls this way

We had a full course dinner of starters, mains, side dishes, dessert & coffee. We were all stuffed at the end of the meal.

Wine to kick things off

Salad with blue cheese

Usually, i do not enjoy smoked salmon. But this time, i really enjoyed it. I fell in love with the first mouthful. It really melts in your mouth.

Steak fries as a side dish

It was a very satisfying meal at Qba. The steaks were all right, though Prime is still top of my list.
