Meet The Parents Session

Finally, my parents met lubby's parents today.

It was a planned lunch at Paramount restaurant. Dim Sum lunch.

Before the lunch, I was starting to feel a bit nervous in the morning. haha. coz it's the first time they meet ma...

Anyway the lunch was ok though the parents of both sides were a little quiet.. think they dunno wat to tok abt... a bit awkward... but still arite...

So now, what we are going to do next is to find a master and choose our dates. And then start to shortlist more suitable ROM venue.

And then inform the bridal shop abt ur date and plan out photoshoot date..

SO EXCITED!!!

Trying Out New Restaurants

Have been reading blogs and reviews online on good food places.

Went to try out 2 of them.

One is Riders Cafe at Bukit Timah Saddles Club. It is at a super ulu place which u can either take a taxi or drive there. If you wanna take bus and walk there.. forget it.. u will not be able to find it.. hahaha.. anyway had brunch there with frens on Sat morning. The breakfast we tried are pretty gd. The Riders Breakfast consists of 2 eggs, sausages/hams/bacons, baked beans, grapes and toasts. According to frens and my dear who had that, the set was not bad. I had morning pancakes.. SUPER nice la! I'm not really a fan of pancakes.. for eg when I have pancakes in Mac, usually after eating 1 piece I wun wanna continue coz sumhow there is this weird flour taste... However the pancakes at Riders Cafe are GOOD! 3 thick pieces of pancakes stacked up with whipped cream (I din take tat though), raspberry and not very sweet maple syrup.. superb! really v nice.. tat even at this time I feel like eating again.. Will definitely go back for the pancakes again! We also ordered buffalo wings to share.. the sauce was just nice, and the meat was tender.. another thumbs up!

Another place tat I tried was Cafe De Hong Kong at Balestier Road Eastpac Building. Went there twice in a week. The first time was just lubby and me. We had beef brisket noodles, beef fried rice, french toast and pork chop. The beef brisket noodles soup was great.. but I feel that the noodles was a bit too hard. The french toast was one of the best I have ever eaten. To our surprise, there were peanut butter in the thick toast! And the pork chop was nice! It was in small pieces which were not oily at all and the meat was so tender that lubby couldn't stop eating!

And guess what, we went back to Cafe De Hong Kong on Sat night with frens again for dinner. :) This time round we ordered other food. The cripsy roasted chicken was not bad. The skin was very thin and cripsy. However I think they used frozen chicken and thus there were 'blood' near the bones. The You Mai Cai fried with garlic was simple yet everyone likes it. We also ordered the Cai Pu minced pork fried egg.. omg.. the egg actually 'melted' in ur mouth! The coffee pork ribs were sumthing worth mentioning too! The coffee flav was quite thick, yet not bitter but sweet. For a non-coffee person like me actually like that dish! :) The mushroom and fish soup was jsut so so and nuthing special. And of coz we ordered the pork chop and the french toast too! :) WAs a very full dinner and it only cost us abt $14 per pax with a big fat stomach! :D

Anyway lazy to upload photos.. pls just go to my
FB to see.. :)
