Tim Ho Wan

Tim Ho Wan, finally! Was there with I at 10am today and queued for 50 minutes before we were seated :/
Did enjoy the Dim Sum - hot and tasty, I say. Queue moved faster than expected and the wait was quite pleasant (time flies when you are chatting with a friend, I guess).

Waiting to be seated at Tim Ho Wan. My friend commented that it is more like a café than a dim sum restaurant!
I like it - the egg white and prawn went very well with the wrap! Was piping hot when served - nice!


Wanted to snap a shot to show you how it is different from the usual spring roll but I think I failed. Imagine spring roll filled with egg white!

Steamed egg cake - one of the 4 heavenly kings at Tim Ho Wan (means highly recommended/popular). I like it too - the brown sugar kind of melt in my mouth. LOL.
 
See how soft and fluffy it is! Must try! Taste good when hot and also good after a while :)


Another heavenly heaven - Baked Bun with BBQ Pork! The baked bun makes it different from the usual char siew bao.
 
A peek into the crispy bun with pork (char siew)!


Another heavenly king - Panned Fried Turnip Cake. Nothing special - it was moist and I could taste shreds of turnip....



Cold Tonic Medlar and Osamanthus Cake - nice way to round up a round of piping hot dim sum! It's good too! :)
Have yet to try the last Heavenly King - vermicelli roll with pork liver, so I'm gonna do that next time. LOL. I say go and try THW, if you haven't! Just learnt a new branch has opened at Toa Payoh, so I reckon that should disperse the crowd at Plaza Singapura...

It's good to be blogging again, after a while :) Haven't had a great time in September, so I really hope that THW (which means good luck in Cantonese) will rub some luck off me  :)

Paddington Market

I like the concept of weekend markets because you can find so many local brands/entrepreneurs in action. Seldom go weekend marketing in Singapore though. Will browse if I chance upon one, but seldom deliberately go to one :P Funny because I do deliberately look for one whenever I travel - thought it's such a nice reflection of the culture, local brands/products!

Went to the Paddington Market in April when I was in Sydney. Check out my press at http://ilovelongvacation.wordpress.com :)


PS: Was in Bintan for the weekend so I am feeling well and rested! :) How did you spend yours?

Food@Marina Bay Link Mall


Here's a peek at the food I had at Marina Bay Link Mall in August :)


Big Breakfast lunch at Cedele. Not as deli as the weekend brunches but definitely value for money. Thanks to DBS Indulge, it was one-for-one  so we paid about $7 each!

 

Went to Din Tai Fung for dinner before Phantom of the Opera. Delicious pork dumplings (top) and pork + vegetable dumplings (bottom). Had the latter for the first time and I think it tasted healthier. Haha. Yummy dumplings! Looking forward to Taiwan trip in November where I planned to try some dumplings shops! :)

Beautiful MBS at night. Not edible but still looks mouth-watering. LOL.

At the Tuck Shop! Ice Lemon Tea has been a while....
 
Chicken Hor Fun at Tuck Shop. Small. But looks good. LOL.
 
Last but not least, Earl Grey Tiramisu from Glaze. Delightfully received by the birthday girl and family. Happy 18, SS! :)


Happy Weekend! May you have a FULLfilling one :)
