Vivien's very cosy house

The mini feast

This wine is so easy to drink. It is smooth and light (Highly recommended)

Before Joanne leaves

Before leaving vivien's house for our show

Before the show starts (Dessert shop near Bugis Junction)

Sweet and yummy Steamed Milk with Papaya

Mango Pomelo
Taste was good but I dont quite like the crush ice in the dessert. It somehow 'disrupt' the overall taste.

First Year Anniversary at Zoo and Dinner at Banana Leaf Apollo

Tuesday, 6th January 2009

To the Zoo for our 1st year anniversary

Cafe named after the Zoo's icon

No barrier, we could touch the mini monkeys!!!

The dangerous white tigers

The cheapest food in the Zoo (Papadum)

Poor thing, sitting there without moving an inch for so long, are u depressed?

Cute bunch

Elephant Show

Guess what am I staring at...

Can see it?

The bear sitting there doing nothing

Elephants playing

Before leaving the Zoo for dinner

Dinner at Banana Leaf Apollo (Race Course Road)

Panneer (Cottage cheese)

My favourite

Gobi Manchurian (Deep Fried Cauliflower)

Not good enough... The best Gobi Manchurian I had was in a family restaurant that had already closed down, so sad....

Garlic Naan

They serve one of the best naan in Little India

YCKSS Outing Tao Restaurant Ben and Jerry

Saturday, 3rd January 2009

Phyllis suggested to dine at Tao Restaurant (Paradiz Centre) and here we are...

The concept is a 7-course meal for each individual with many choices

Starter was a standard bacon and mushroom gratin for all

The gratin was accompanied with toasted butter bread

2nd Course Salad

I chose prawn roll with pork floss (Very nice!)

I think Kelvin's choice was Farmboy splendor (Lettuce with chicken) - Not a very good choice...

3rd course - Standard for all

Grilled Mushroom (Delicious!)

Soups was so-so...

We ordered pumpkin and mushroom, both were disappointing...

Main Entrees

marinated lamb cutlet & slow cooked pork back ribs

Both were tender and tasty

Dessert
green tea cheese cake for me

(No green tea taste at all despite the intense green color...)

creme brulee for Kelvin (Not bad)

Enjoying our meal

After dinner

Supper time at Ben & Jerry (Dempsey)

Attacking Ultraman copycat, hahahahaha....

Wife abuse, heeee.... ;p

Adorable cakes

The icon

Yummy waffle with ice-cream
