Happy Birthday, Hon

Nobel House Restaurent@UIC Building
It was birthday celebration for grandad on 8th November too! 2 year old baby Joy suffers from AuntyRuthSelfDiagnosed AttentionDefiDisorder-She cant stop fidgeting. Or is my 770i integerated C(why)bershot camera's auto focus taking way too long? Top right: My fav uncle-Patrick, whose vehicle i long to take over. HAHAHA. Now i know the roots of my button nose-FROM THE GOH FAMILY. Touché touché!
The Good: 1) FREE PARKING. Evaluate if its illegal:
2) Ambience: Decorative doors and windows combined with delicate details on the surrounding balcony provided an elegant nostalgic streetscape setting.
3) Price: SGD 28++ Ala Carte Buffet Dinner. Palatable dishes does full justice to the reasonably miserable menu range. We had Noble House Barbecued Meat Platter, Double Boiled Pigeon Soup served in Bamboo Tube, Sautéed Scallops and Cuttlefish in Special Chilli Sauce, Wok Fried Kelong Crab with Chilli Sauce, Poached Prawns with Chinese Wine, Steamed Sea Bass with 1) garlic & 2) Thai Style, Salmon Sashimi, Deep Fried Prawns with Crispy Oats, Deep Fried Soft Shell crab with Salt & Pepper, Salmon Head with Ginger and Onion, Braised Sliced Sea Abalone and Mushroom with Selected Vegetables in Oyster Sauce, Sautéed Sliced Fish with Selected Vegetables, Deep Fried Coriander Cheese Balls, Sautéed Shrimps and Cavier with Egg, Braised Pork Ribs with Homemade Sauce, Wok Fried Venison with Satay Sauce, Fried Duck Meat with Sweet and Sour Sauce, Deep Fried Chicken in Italy Sauce, Chilled Herbal Jelly with Honey
, Sweetened Red Bean with Lotus Seeds, Chilled Mango Pudding and Chilled Honeydew with Sago! Not forgetting.. Longevity Buns!

Lunch at TownerRoad's KFC with my little girlfriend, Trayc and my two other lovely faces but mind f.ed BFFs (And their handsome control freaks)




BlissRestaurent@PunggolPark




We opted for alfresco dining fringing the edge of a 5-hectare pond in Punggol Park.
My tastebuds were tantalised by a moderate serving of slightly done medium rare steak, buttery smooth mashed potatoe and greens. We were shocked by the less than impeccable service offered by waitresses clad in uber mini denimn skirts. 1) Openly asked a friend of mine, "Is it an ice-cream cake?" And when asked for the cake to be brought out, it was still nicely packed in its boxed, tied with a ribbon for good measure. Tell me they DID provide impeccable service by bringing along cutlery. The service staff basically slapped Bliss right in the face that night. Verdict: "Will go back larh"

Soup Restaurent@Hougang Mall
LOL

and I were having a bruised blue Monday and decided to head for a great feast cum (aku's) birthday celebration right after work.
Decor: The dining area was demarcated with bamboo shoots and wooden beams. Barrel-shaped stools complemented the interior decor.
Food:

We had..
1) Steamed groundnuts: Slightly saltish and oh so fragrant!
2) Fan Shu Ye: AKA Ah Gong Vege, looked a lil like kang kong, stir fried with sambal accompanied the steamed rice well.
3) SanYu: Boneless and very fresh fish slices cooked with ginger and spring onion.
4) Soup of the day
5) Samsui Chicken: That was to die for. And I insist on elaborating this.. Cause i've been craving for the ginger sauce ever since. Served on a large white plate centred by a bowl of roughly minced ginger sauce are pieces of boneless cooked white chicken (Hainanese style), surrounded by a ring of thinly sliced cucumber. Lettuce leaves are served on a side plate. Delight in the harmonious flavours by wrapping the chicken, ginger and cucumber in a lettuce leaf. *Salivating, again

It took me 20years to realise.. It takes 1) 7mins to cook a half boiled egg placed in boiling water. 2) great practice cracking a half boiled egg! (Im so pampered meh?)
