Dinner at Far East Plaza

Met up with Theresa and Mae for dinner. Theresa had to go down to Far East Plaza for a haircut before having dinner, so might as well had dinner here. Lazy to travel here and there.. Hahaha...

Heard a lot of gd comments from my friends about this SU Korean cuisine, so decided to give it a try.

Located at the basement of this teenage centric shopping mall, a cafe like interior, with plenty of booth seats and minimalistic decor.

We ordered a set mean for 2 - 3 ppl. It comprised of 1 Bibimbap (with choice of chicken, beef or seafood), one ginseng chicken soup, fried seafood pancake with green onion and one plate of pork collar for BBQ.

As with all korean meals, they serve you the side dishes and here they will give you 8 types.

Theresa & Mae

Digging in the side dishes....

Here comes the BBQ meat...

The BBQ comes with a basket of vegetables to wrap the BBQ meats. Wrap the still hot meat in the vege, put one slice of garlic & carrot and dab a little bean paste sauce on it and put all these in your mouth. Very very nice!!!

Ginseng chicken was nice. One whole chicken was used, and the glutinous rice inside the chicken was heavenly! Fragrant and tasty!!!!

Enjoying her BBQ meat..

Everyone was full...

Even myself too.. hehe...

Poor Reuben, just finished his work and he looked damn shag.

Service was courteous and efficient. Although there were only a handful of staffs, they moved about quickly attending to the work.

After a sastifying meal, went to the dessert shop, "SLICE",  just beside the restaurant.

SLICE sells dessert which is made up of flavoured ice, sliced into many fine layers and stacked into a tall pyramid, complemented with puree and toppings. Very popular Taiwanese dessert.

Very sparsely furnished, all it has is a counter and a number of tables and plastic chairs.

Each flavour comes complete with a name and story depicts a SLICE of everyone's life, like "FIRST KISS", "FIRST DATE", "LOVERS TIFF" and etc.... Haha...

Ordered 2 of it. The first one is "FIRST DATE", which combined the grape ice with aloe vera and blueberry puree.

The second one we ordered is "MAJOR CRUSH", which mainly is milk ice, crushed oreos and scoops of chocolate sauce. Everyone of us was digging in this heartily. Hehe..

The shaved ice somehow melted too quickly, don't really like the "FIRST DATE" , was kinda too sour for me. Only like chocolate!!!! Hehe.... Btw, there's a happy hour promotion (sun - thurs 6-8pm), where you get your 2nd dessert at half price. Maybe can give it try again on other flavours. =)

Supper with colleagues

A last min plan by Tjoei kok to go for supper, so met up with Chris, John and Kimberly after work to eat steamboat at Liang Seah street. Went to one of my favourite Hot Pot restaurant, Xian De Lai.

That day was crowded but luckily the staff managed to get a table for us.

Ordered the clear chicken soup and spicy chicken soup, which you can eat the fried crispy chicken meat before they add the broth into the pot.

As usual the place is always crowded and noisy...

Kimberly and Chris....

John and Tjoei Kok, with the mushroom ON his face... Eeee......

As usual, doing my cam whoring thingy... Hahah...

That greedy face...

Haha.. Luckily Kimberly was around to entertain all of us...




I was feeling very cold throughout the eating session, as our table was just directly under the air-con. Think i was the only one wearing a jacket in the restaurant while eating steamboat. Haha...

Good place for large noisy group gatherings like us.. haha.. as you can just sit down and talk, without need to get food.


Headed down to a nearby cafe, Tong Shui Cafe and ordered some desserts to eat.  I don't really fancy their dessert they have, however good thing is that this cafe open til 6am and they have a hugh Plasma TV. We can stayed there late to chat and watch free movies.. Hahaha....

Reuben's Birthday


This is the first time we were hanging out together ever since the ION course, just a few days ago.. This is called "FATE" that brought us close together.. Hahaha....

Another reason was... Reuben's birthday coming, so deceided to arrange to hang out after work. Had supper first before out KTV session.

Went to Xing Wang Hong Kong Cafe Cineleisure.

Can see that we were very hungry....

Our Ah Mae...

As usual, i tend to get crazy AGAIN when i get high.. Hahaha.. Just cannot stop singing...  Everyone was very tired as we stayed until 4am. Luckily me and Theresa do not have to work the next day, but the rest still need to work. Poor Thing!!!! Hehehe... 

Anyway once again, Happy Birthday Mr Reuben!!! And Happy National Day to everyone...

ION P.R.I.D.E Course

Was posted to ION Orchard Branch on the 21st July... Hmm.. Another new environment...

For those who work in ION Orchard were required to attend a 2 days course organised by the ION Management to improve on our customer service skills, as the management wanted the mall to be well known in the world wide in terms of providing best customer service and shopping experience to the shoppers.

P.S: I don't really like the ION management in many factors... Eeeee.....

Anyway had to wake up early for these 2 days course.. Argh!!! SO TIRED!!!! The course was somehow similar to what i had attended for the Vivo Service Excellence course previously. At first felt kinda shy as i do not really know anyone in the course, but somehow activities and games were held to break the bond between one another throughout these 2 days.

Get to know a lot of ppl from the course and we will be seeing each other quite often as most of us are working in ION Orchard. Can visit each other and get discounts.. Hahaha...
