没有再到拥挤的 Vivo City 还是 Marina Bay 过年，而是应邀到 Alicia 家过年。上了年纪，不想再人挤人，希望过的比较 family style 一点。不过这几年，我们一直三缺一，这次少了凤娴。
我恨不得把整个凤山 85 巴刹搬到 Alicia 家去。一桌子的地道菜，希望能解 Alicia 的乡愁。尤其是那德国猪脚，真是 ichiban ne。
没有什么特别节目，原本担心会闷死老公。不过，偶尔有 KX entertain 我们，还蛮好笑的。小小年纪，因为看了 Thomas & Friends 而讲话时有 accent，而且他会的英文词汇还真不少。我们以前小学才学的介词，如今他已驾轻就熟，如：the train crashed into the remote.

Heard of Gordon Ramsay?
He'd just expanded his restaurants to Australia, Melbourne 2 wks before we touch down.
He'd just expanded his restaurants to Australia, Melbourne 2 wks before we touch down.
Our initial plan was to eat at Jamie Oliver, but it's fully booked! So Gordon Ramsay was the alternative. Honestly speaking, I'd never heard of Gordon Ramsay before I went Melbourne (Sorry Chef, no offence, it's my fault for the ignorant). We din do any research, it's based on A's recommendation that we went to the restaurant - Maze.
Embarassing moments. The website stated the dresscode: smart causal. I changed into my only pair of jeans that I had brought along, thinking that with my coat on, I shouldn't look overly causal. The usher that brought us to our table and surprised me when she asked for our coats to be put away. OMG!!!
Wat's good on the plates? The Server went through the menu with us. Just the names make me drool. But she went on to say that the portion is rather small, and it's normal to order 4 or 5 dishes per guest! After discussing, we decided to order only 2 each. To prefect the dining experience, we ordered a wine of our choice. I hoped we din look too cheapo-nana. Practically everything was good. The presentation made the dishes looked for like a piece of art.
Haha... Guess the cost of the dinner.

If you ask me, 四湾岛有什么东西做？I will tell you, "NOTHING". haha... It's a boring town, not much activities. The only worth mentioning activity is EAT. For 2 days, we do nothing but eat.
For 2 days, we ate:
1. We went to the town's only fast food restaurant - Marrybrown.
We were the only patrons in the restaurant... like we 包 the whole place... he he....
2. Magnum Mini
1 box is only RM10 (S$4). Delicious! I had 3 in 2 days!3. Lobster crackers.
Dunno why their crackers just taste different.
4. Coconut
It's Thai coconut. But cheap and sweet.
5. Lastly, our 压轴, and our main objective! haha.... is SEAFOOD.
清蒸鱼
姜葱山猪肉
铁板珍珠蚝加蛋铁板豆腐
番薯叶
柠檬鸡

Food
18 Dec - Malacca
Bak Ku Teh for Lunch.
Royston cast his vote for the trip to the Bak Ku Teh. Their Bak Ku Teh is the brown base herbal type. And it not only a Bak Ku Teh, it's a all-in-1 pot. Other than pork ribs, it has meat balls, fen chang (intestines), blah blah blah...
Chicken Rice Balls for Dinner.
蔡澜's standee is every where, advertising the infamous Chicken Rice Balls. Frankly, nothing so great abt the balls. Royston dun really fancy them. In fact, I think 娥姨 make better ones. The balls are not even cheap to begin with!
19 & 20 Dec - Penang
The forgotten A&W and Baskin Robin at a stopover before we hit Penang.
The 9-year Joanna has never seen A&W in Singapore. My god, how long have A&W left us? What I missed most is the root beer float & curly fries.
I laughed at how they spell ice-cream but realised that was due to their language. Baskin Robin is something that I can't resist even when I'm full. Can they re-asses coming back to Singapore pleasseee?
Dinner at The Ship
It's Royston's Birthday! So Jo planned a dinner at the restaurant. Though the logo and the name is the same, I dunno if the restaurant is the same as the one at Shaw.
But the food is definitely not on the same level.
Like what the signboard says, "The Best Steak in Town" - only the steak is best. Royston and Jo ordered Fried Spring Chicken. The picture on the menu sure looks big, juicy and delicious. I missed taking the shot of their faces when the dishes are served. We thought it should be called Fried Spring Chick... haha... not big enough to be chicken.
Chay Kway Teow!
Yeah.... I vote for this one. I can't really explain in words the different between Penang Chay Kway Teow and Singapore Chay Kway Teow. But it's simply NICE.
The rest of the food is so-so and isn't worth writing.
21 Dec - Ipoh
Ipoh dun have nice food too... The only better food that we had is probably the Hotel Excelsior's breakfast.
22 Dec - Genting
Been to Genting a few times, it's the first time I go canteen for food. Think it's for staff. Can't remember what the name, just know it's beside the Old Town cafeteria. Their roast chicken & roast duck is tasty. If you are running out of $$, maybe you can try here.
2nd time (since 2006) at the First World Cafe for breakfast. The situation din improved. Long queues every where. Pastries & Bread are served in plastic storage drawers. Cooked food that is on the warmer is not warm, and it's topped up by pouring food into the metal tin on the warmer, instead of replacing the whole tin. It's like feeding pigs. Sure make me lose my appetite.
23 Dec - Leaving Genting & gng back to Singapore, passing by Johore
Bamboo Rice + A&W root beer float for lunch
We stop at the highway on the way down to buy the bamboo rice. I like the rice, smells good. Found a place to sit down for lunch. Went to buy root beer float from A&W. The service at the counter is sooooo slow... and while waiting, we conspire with the idea of smuggling the mugs home. haha...
Sizzling Rock for Dinner
This is in Johore already. The restaurant is in Jusco shopping center. I remember I used to go Hot Stone at Clarke Quay, the concept is the same, but the price is doubled as compared to this one.

My fav... and my best buddy in JC. Life is a breeze with him always by my side.
I can finish almost a whole slab of chocolate in a day! As christmas is coming, I'm expecting chocolates as gifts. And many will be having vacation and the easiest gift to bring back seems to be chocolates as well.
However, easy it may seems, how to store chocolates properly is a skill need to be learned. I hope people dun just chuck the chocolates into the fridge, that destroy the taste. How many times have you come back from NTUC or vacation, and immediately those delicious chocolates go into the fridge? I seriously cannot enjoy those chocolates at all, they are hard, dry and not so tasty anymore (as compared when u do tasting before buying them). Wat a waste! Especially when you have spend a fortune bringing them back from abroad. So if we put in our hearts and some more efforts, we are able to appreciate the chocolates more.
Some tips:
1. Like I said, DUN JUST PUT CHOCOLATES IN THE FRIDGE.
We must remember not to leave the chocolates directly under sun, it's best kept in cool and dark places.
2. If we are packing chocolates in our hand luggage, it's important to leave it on tables or stool and not put it on your lap or on the floor so as not to absorb heat.
3. Remember to unpack your luggages to store your chocolates properly once you reach home! Singapore is warmer and more humid than many countries, so dun just leave your luggages lying around. Or else, you will wake up to find all your chocolates melted.
4. If we really bought too much that we might not be able to finish within a short time, and you have no choice but to store it in the fridge. Split your stock. Put the chocolates into a container before putting them into the fridge. When you want to consume them, bring the whole container out... and wait a while before consuming it. And to be careful not to let the condensation fall on the chocolates.

Lazy bum like me... dun mind paying $3 for delivery service.
Singapore practice: Check before you PAY
I think Macdonald's should review on their delivery service though. I din know that the delivery man has to pay for MY orders before sending them to me.
My meal came without the coke just now. The delivery man hand me my meal without the coke and told me that he had called the restaurant manager, another delivery man will send my coke to me in another 20mins. But I'm supposed to PAY first. In Singapore, we are "educated" in such a way that we make sure everything was fine before we pay. Not that the coke costs a bomb or I'm making it difficult for the delivery man.
"What if the coke never find it's way here?"
The delivery man insisted that he had paid already. So the only thing I could do was to totally reject his delivery, returning the burger and fries.
Well, I dunno who's fault is it. Thank God that Singapore is so small and there's so many Mac's outlet ard. But that does not mean we can tolerate mistakes. Maybe the framework can be improved to give a better service.

我不知道还有哪家人比我们爱吃月饼。每年除了新年以外，花最多钱的节日就是中秋节。不信？到今天为止，我们家吃的月饼如下：
1. 天厨（Copthorne King's Hotel) 的传统白莲蓉旦黄(4pcs)
2. 天厨的冰皮莲蓉plus champagne truffle & brandy truffle (迷你4+4pcs)
3. 同乐的送礼盒 - 2个红莲蓉旦黄 & 2个白莲蓉旦黄
4. 东海的白莲蓉双黄 (4pcs)
5. 东海的冰皮莲蓉（迷你8pcs）
6. 东海的冰皮奶黄（迷你4pcs)
7. Goodwood Park Hotel 的传统莲蓉旦黄（2pcs)
8. Goodwood Park Hotel 的杨枝甘露 （2pcs)
9. Ritz Carlton Hotel 的传统莲蓉旦黄(2pcs)
10.Ritz Carlton Hotel 的冰皮Lychee Martini 和莲蓉 （迷你3+3pcs)
11.香港荣华的2个金莲旦黄 & 2个白莲蓉旦黄
有没有很惊讶？哈哈。
老实说，我比较喜欢传统月饼，配上爸爸的爱心中国茶，无比美味。
今年第一次尝试天厨的月饼，比想象中好，尤其能感受师傅挑选蛋黄的用心。在吃完天厨的月饼，紧跟着我们就买了每年都会光顾的同乐。不知是因为师傅将蛋黄压扁还是蛋黄本身的品质就有问题，月饼的蛋黄太干了，切开时蛋黄便碎掉，咬下去时，莲蓉是莲蓉，蛋黄是蛋黄，get wat I mean? 真是有失水准，有点儿失望。妈妈的首选应该是荣华的月饼。记得还很小的时候，爸爸常会买荣华的月饼，因为标上Made in HK的标签，所以价格不菲。现在多亏有Takashimaya，将饼家汇集在一起，要买Made in HK 的月饼也不难了。
近几年，师傅都绞尽脑汁，想 new ideas。我蛮喜欢 Ritz Carlton Hotel 的 Lychee Martini。 值得一试！

I love Filet-O-Fish! Wat's more? It's DOUBLE.
This is not sth new. Mac has brought this dble filet-o-fish back periodically a few times. Mac had used "Double Happiness" for their campaign the last time they launch Double Filet-O-Fish. My sis thinks that they might have missed out "Double Sinfulness". Ha ha...
We had Dble Filet-O-Fish after gym today. I was counting the carb that I was taking in... when I saw the words on the wall:
Since when Mac serve healthy, delicate, fresh food? Mac being mac has most of their food soaked in oil. How to be healthy, it's questionable. It's true that Singaporeans are more health conscious nowadays and do take note of wat they eat. So those words are to 骗人 or 骗自己？

__________________________________________________
2nd time to this place.
1st time was with my god-sis. It's past lunch hour, but we waited for more than 1/2 hour for our food.
In my memory, the food was not too bad. Earn a little from selling Singtel's stocks. Decided to go back for a 2nd time with Royston. Ok. we didn't wait very long for our food this time. But I kanna 1 damn da-pro waitress, which was obviously from china.
饭后甜点 is almost what I always look forward to.
I was posing this question to the waitress, "does the cake comes with a scoop of ice-cream?" She look at me with wide eyes. so I probe further, "or can i add ice-cream to my cake?" Wat I get in return is "你要什么cake?" with super rude attitude. I couldn't stop myself for giving a "WAT?" to her. I ordered a sumatra cake ultimately. The cake was good i would say. But she disappoint me again by forgetting to charge that cake to the bill. Argh... And that bloody bill read $7.95. I was too angry to even think about it. After I left then I start thinking... I rem tat the cake is only $5.20, ++ also dun have $7. shit.
Need to even thrice to give the cafe a 3rd chance

This is a bit backdated... haha... I forgot to share abt the yummy food that we went for Mother's Day celebration. It's an impromptu decision to go Gyu-Kaku. Something that my mum will like. Well, it's Mother's Day.
Seafood set: Fresh Salmon, Prawns, Sotong and Big odourless oysters!
Meat set: 3 different cut of beef, Pork and Duck Meat. Seriously, if u are a meat-eater, this is something u can't give a pass.
so we bbq on these grills... the waiters have very good service. They will come around the table every 15-20min to change a clean grill for us.
Even the (garlic) rice tastes so good.
Our set comes with 3 deserts... The thoughtful waiter gave us 2 complimentary deserts. Yummy!
On the all, the food is superb, service is excellent. Though the price is slightly steeper, it's worth it. We spend about $300+ for the above spread. Highly recommended.

一直想去尝试之前《抢摊大行动》抢救的西餐，当时师傅教了摊主一道很特别的 Pork Cutlet 。
What so good? >>>
它不是普通的猪扒。香脆的外表，内有乾坤，除了猪扒外，肉中还夹着 ham and cheese 。我本来就好爱吃猪扒、ham 和 cheese 。不过，只有吃过猪扒 with cheese 和 ham and cheese，从没吃过 3 in 1 。
老板很用心，火候刚刚好，外表完全看不出任何蛛丝马迹，一刀切下去，cheese 就开始流出来，不过又不会“一流无法收拾”，好兴奋喔！真是吃了还想再吃
What it missed? >>>
比一般的猪扒来的小了一点，而且以 coffee shop 的标准，价钱偏高(＄6)。
摊名取为 Prosperity Recipe 五福XXX ，真是俗得吓了我一跳，还以为找错了地方。
Where is it? >>>
Blk 23 Haig Road 一个小小的咖啡店

It's 9pm, we went to the Cheesecake Cafe at siglap area.
The cafe was introduced by my colleagues. I'd went there once, I would say the cakes are yummy! I din have dinner, so I was really looking forward to the yummy cakes.
When we hit the entrance, we bumped into a pretty waitress and was only greeted with "it's full house inside, pls wait a while". After a while, we were given menu and a seat outside. I saw the waitress ushering other tables that was waiting outside slowly... Thinking that it might be our turn soon. Then, I saw a couple walked directly into the cafe and gotten a seat immediately. Meanwhile, we are still waiting for a seat outside with the menu. The 2 waitresses walked in and out several times, but we were treated like invisible. And then, another couple walked straight into the cafe and gotten a seat immediately too! WAT THE HELL?!? Hey boss, your cakes cost $7.50 each! It's time to review on your service standards
So it's not difficult to imagine that we'd ultimalte left and went to Gelare instead. But of course, tat had spoilt my night totally. If anyone has got better suggestion of where I could get yummy cheesecakes, let me know, pls!

Ordered a clam chowder + garlic bread + seafood platter for 2 @ $50.20.
The seafood platter is a complete disappointment. The portion is shabby for its price - 1pc of fried fish + garlic rice + fried + small portion of calamari + 4 not very big prawns are given. To my great disappointment, there isn't mussels in the set. The garlic rice tasted like normal chicken rice.
Although the service was not too bad, I don't think it's worth spending at this restaurant.
