Dinner at Kra Pow | 在 Kra Pow 吃晚餐😎 Went to a Thai restaurant at Chinatown Point last week before going for a walk at Chinatown. Was wandering for a while before deciding to try this placeI have not been to before. There were some people dining but not fully occupied. The meal wasn't cheap. Came to more than 50 bucks for two people. First disappointment came were the drinks. My wife said her iced lemongrass were diluted. My iced milk tea tasted more like sugar water than tea.…

River Hongbao 2023 - 1 | 春到河畔2023 - 1😎 Tried to go to River Hongbao on Friday 27-Jan but turned back because all the car parks had long queues until the road. Was one of the night that didn't rain. Next day, decided to take a train there though the weather didn't look good. It started to rain. So we hid somewhere and waited for a while. Decided to start going in even when it was still drizzling. This first display was called Dance of Spring but I don't think anyone was…
River Hongbao 2023 - 2 | 春到河畔2023 - 2😎 Away from the God of Wealth to see the rest of the lantern display. Meanwhile, it continued to rain. What a big milk bottle. Went nearer to the God of Wealth but there was a crowd there waiting for the shower of gold dust so it wasn't easy to get near. There were lanterns for the twelve horoscope animals. With a lion dance in between. If you need an invite to noise.app, try this link: https://noise.app/invite/gkpin7yn #originalcontent…
Lazy man's Tang Yuan hack | 懒人帮汤圆😎 Sunday was Yuan Xiao which is the last day of Chinese New Year. I want my tang yuan but I wasn't about to join a long queue for tang yuan at Mr Bean like I did a few years ago so I bought these from the supermarket. Bring the soya milk to boil. Remember. Don't thaw the glutinous rice ball before you pour them it or it will break when they boil. Boil for 5 minutes and lower the heat to let it simmer for a few more minutes. They won't stick…

Curry Chicken Noodle from the new food stall | 新食摊的咖喱鸡肉面😎 Spotted a new stall at the Lorong 4 Toa Payoh Food Centre. Lots of congratulatory flowers but LED panels are a first for me.

Pre-Valentine's Day dinner with CDC voucher | 使用 CDC优惠卷的情人节前晚餐😎 Happy Valentine's Day to all. On the Eve of Valentine's Day, I went to The Larder for dinner for a reason. Not many empty tables left inside. Our tea was served even before paying with CDC voucher. More than 50 bucks for the meal for two. The chicken meatballs were not much.

Wisdom two gone on Valentine's Day | 智慧二在情人节走了😎 Last day of 2022, I was at the dentist for a checkup. He told me two of my three remaining wisdom teeth have to go because of decay.

Lucky money before class | 上课前拿红包😎 26th day of first lunar month. Too early to be out but after an early bus ride in the morning, I arrived at the Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple before the sky had turned bright. Joined a long snaking queue outside and around before I got in for a quick prayer. Got my lucky money and went through the Bugis+ mall and then to the MRT train station to go to class. By then, the sun was up. It's good that the class catered for 3 meals so didn't…
The King has risen | 王升起了😎 Went to King Grouper Fish Soup for dinner after work recently. Ordered the same two usual items and was asked to pay $14 instead of $13. I said I was dining in and she said $14. It was only about two weeks ago I was there. I saw the price in front of the cashier was updated but the one at the front wasn't. So it's 50 cents more for each bowl I bought. Went outside and saw the price was updated too. For 50 cents more, I wasn't getting more than…

#BeautifulSunday - with one less egg | 美丽星期天 - 少一个鸡蛋😎 It was raining a couple of Sundays ago and I went to the nearby coffeeshop for dinner. The zichar stall had a super long queue.

The sunset and the rainbow. | 日落和彩虹。😎 Mid-December 2022, I was going to an office movie at Vivo City. I was walking outside before the move and saw the sunset that most likely caused the rainbow.

There on only one small vessel at the harbour and the cable cars look more tiny in this one. If you need an invite…
