• happy lunch!

    had a really happy and fun lunch today. it was a big group of people but just small enough to engage everyone in the table conversation. fun people and good food always cheers cherie! and the reason for the lunch?! to celebrate all our hard work for the past many many months that was being put in to launch this website. it was my baby, and though there are still tonnes of stuff to be changed, having made it to the launch is quite a feat considering the limited resources, time and budget that we had. and the fact that everything was done in-house. Woots! it was a real painful…

  • Weekend lunch.

    Had a nice lunch on a late Sunday afternoon. Der and me woke up real early to rush for an appointment and only managed to grab something to eat at 3pm. Dined at my favourite tampopo again! Love it whenever he goes liang court to pick up his magazines. So, here’s our food! My black pig mini Shabu shabu. I could eat this all the time! Der’s ten-don. His usual fare. My huge salmon head. This Is too yummy. Lastly, the milk pudding. I must end every meal at tampopo with this. Heavenly goodness (IMO). The rest of the day was spent playing mahjong. I was so dead tired and…

  • it’s almost bedtime

    i’m starting to feel a little hungry but i am willing myself against picking up something to munch/eat. all in vanity sake. a day has passed and while i enjoyed my me-time, the day does feel a little empty without the boy around (to irritate me). i have decided to irritate him with more local fare on my blog for him to drool on. our crystal jade lunch on saturday afternoon. his 油鸡 & 叉烧饭 and my roast pork and carrot cake. missed my favourite egg tarts because they were out of stock. on a totally irrelevant note, been thinking about the job for a while and maybe it is…

  • lunch date with cindy

    cindy came over to my area the other day to have lunch! it was supposed to be the usual trio but mr. koh couldn’t make it at the last minute, so i ended up heading out to meet her alone. were supposed to have lunch at hans (trinity church) but i chanced upon another nook at the church! i would have missed it if not for the sandwich boards and food pictures placed outside as the glass are all tinted! shloop is a cosy little cafe with an adjourning gift/book store. with its prettily painted walls of whimsical drawings, and cute quaint little photo frames and ornaments hung on its…

  • christmas lunch from santa mike

    mr Mike (my colleague from the sales/roadshow team) threw a christmas lunch for the team to thank everyone for the hard work put in during the year. the team also returned him a gift of robinson vouchers as a christmas gift. it was a fun affair because everyone were relaxed and having a longer lunch than usual. it was at Cafe in Action @ Valley Point, and we almost had the entire restaurant to ourselves, lest 2 tables that were outside the restaurant. it was a 4 course meal with a starter, soup with tonnes of garlic bread, main course and 2 desserts. i almost couldn’t stomach anything after the…

  • charlie’s corner

    it’s been a while since i blogged about my lunches. I remembered that i used to do it frequently when i was still in the f&b industry, because that was what my life revolve around all the time, and nice lunches was the norm. these days, nice lunches are reduced to birthday celebrations or special occasions. we celebrated eyleen’s birthday 3 weeks back. what was supposed to be a seafood feast became a last minute change of plans as the promotion was over. so, we headed to the next best choice in the area – charlie’s corner @ Changi. very interestingly, we all had different food choices except a duplication…

  • cindy’s last day

    the day came and went. cindy’s last day was filled with a lot of fun, great food and loads of natters and of cos, it ended really late into the night before all of us unwillingly parted. we had our last lunch together as colleagues. just the two of us at the cutesy little cafe with a pinch of salt in katong. love the place for it’s lovely decorations, cute illustrations all over and interesting quotes plastered all over the restaurant. even the windows had cute little stickers plastered over. i think the kids would love this place, with a piano set in the middle of the restaurant. i wondered…

  • its food again!

    cindy brought me to this bak ku teh place while i was in the region sending my nikon camera for repair. and yes, all these food is shared by just the 2 of us – how NOT to overeat? i admit, i am the greedy one. i like my bak ku teh to be a little on the herby side rather than the peppery side and this happens to be the peppery type. i don’t know how to rate it since it’s not to my preference but i guess it’s passable judging the amount of people eating there. after much researching, i think it’s called Ya Hua Bak Ku Teh.…

  • i love to eat.

    i think eating gives me the most pleasure and happiness.. i eat nice food and i instantly cheer up even when i’m in a foul mood.. errrm, i just have to blame my fats on the greediness because i very often over-eat. der needs to learn this (GOOD FOOD PERKS ME UP!) and be acquainted with all the nice tasting food. it’ll be his best friend and tool to keep me happy! not that he doesn’t know it already, but it so happens that i’m more a gourmet lover than he is.. anyway, in the same fashion.. bad food really turn me off. like how the hungry me discovered this…
