Fooding around Chinatown

Feeling good after my first 4KM of the year! A good end to a not very happening week - just been Fooding around (while working) :)

Had 开工 (start work) lunch with my team at Paradise Pavilion, which is famous for its Peking Duck. Thought it was so-so only but the dim sum was good! No pictures though - funny how we don't food-porn at work :P

Attended an ex-colleague's wedding yesterday at Amara Hotel and the food was good. So was the company :) Also no pictures because....haha...


 
Latest Foodages - Dim Sum with the family at Mouth Restaurant today. For me, I preferred the fried Dim Sum to the steamed items. The filling was quite sumptuous, I must say.Frog leg porridge was nice. The rice roll was not good. Haha.







 

We were at the China Square branch at 10.30am and the restaurant was not very crowded, so it was good for a cosy dim sum breakfast. Wanted to soak in the Chinese New Year festivity at Chinatown but it started drizzling. Another time, perhaps? About two weeks to the Horse Year! :)

Asian Food and Goodbye 2013!

Happy New Year in about an hour (Singapore time)!

Looking back (yes, it sounds cliche), it has been a year of blogging about my vacation in Singapore (time off work really to wander around Singapore, try new things and do things I feel like doing) and to share my life in words. I usually blog about my travels in the other wordpress: http://ilovelongvacation.wordpress.com/

Quite surprised that many of my blogs were about cafes in Singapore (because I never really think of myself as a foodie :P) and many of you have taken time to read those blogs (thanks!).

Well, it's been nice winding down the year with Asian food and ending the year with a blog to share Instagram pics @ilovelongvacation) with you.


Christmas Eve Dinner with my parents - quite unusual to eat hawker food on this day but well, my parents wanted to. Haha. Had porridge (with pork intestines and frog legs), fried oyster, rice with basil chicken (didn't take picture) and rounded up dinner at Tiong Bahru Food Centre with Ice Kacang :) It's been a while since I went there with my parents, so it's quite a nice way to spend Christmas Eve.  
 
 
 
 
Boxing Day dinner with my bestie whom I have known for more than 2.5 decades! Amazing how we have all grown up - she's now a career woman cum mummy of a 3-year-old girl :) We had Korean food at Bornga at Vivo City - pork soup, grilled pork and seafood pancake. This was our first time there - heard good reviews about this restaurant which started in the Star Vista. Quite nice, I would say. We were so full!
 

Fish soup noodle for lunch at Asia Square :) It's a new stall and it's been a while since I had this... and met an ex-colleague for lunch.
 
Roti Prata bought by my father from a food centre near our place :) Very thankful to him for always ensuring we go to work with a full stomach. Haha.

 
Lunch with colleagues at Yew Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice, Noodle House. We took a free ride on the newly opened Downtown Line from Downtown Station to Chinatown Station. Now we have more food choices :) Yee Kee has been a while too...


And last but not least, the last lunch of 2013 - Buka God Ramen at Ramen Champion at Bugis+ Quite authentic food and ambiance - a nice place to lunch deliciously alone. LOL.

 Whether you are feasting away or counting down at the year-end parties, enjoy the last moments of 2013! See you in 2014! :)
