Linkin Park Concert (13 Nov 2007)

This was the best concert I've attended so far! Although the concert was on a Tuesday night, the crowd was so hyperactive, everyone was basically standing and dancing throughout the night with arms high in the air.. haha real rock & cool. Simply loved their music =)

HK Holiday (8 - 12 Nov 2007)

Decided to go for a short holiday over the Deepavali long weekend to spend some quality time tog with Gerald. It was a pretty last minute decision and we were deciding between Bali & HK. We only departed Singapore on thurs afternoon as I wanted to attend my company DnD on Wed. Turned out to be a good move as I won the 17th lucky draw prize.. hehe not too bad =)

Reached HK around evening time and we stayed at the Kowloon Hotel which is just next to the Peninsula Hotel and above the MTR. Real accessible! Day 1 was spent walking around Nathan Road, enjoying the cool weather while sourcing for a decent dinner place. Finally had wanton noodle at a HK cafe, followed by hot red bean soup at a nearby dessert shop.. yummy!

Woke up early on Friday and we walked to the HK Cultural Centre for tim sum. Food was delicious all thanks to KM's recommendations. I particularly loved carrot cake from HK.. so tasty unlike those in SG. Loved the sunny but cooling weather in HK..




After breakfast, we took the train to HK Island to checkout Central. There's H&M in HK and the accessories are nice and not expensive. We then took the tram up to the peak to rest and enjoy the scenary while waiting for the sunset to catch the nightview.



Terence & Jennifer who are currently based in HK then brought us to a local eating place at Happy Valley for dinner. Yummy food especially the cantonese soup. Spent the rest of the night at LKF for drinking and supper. We went to 3 drinking places and I particularly like this chic place at LKF hotel (a boutiqute hotel). Cosy with contempary deco and a good night view of HK island.

Sat was spent feasting on roast goose at Yung Kee, followed by shopping at Causeway Bay. Also tried roast pigeon for dinner before heading for ladies market to experience the night streets.

On Sun, we headed to Macau with Terence & Jennifer after tim sum breakfast. It's about 1 hour away so I just knockout on the ferry after taking the seasick pill. Nothing much in Macau except casinos so we visited Wynn, Venetian & Sands. Here's some pics taken at the newly opened Venetian.

We spent our last day in HK feasting again. Gerald & I went to the same tim sum place Terence brought us the day before cos the food is really good! This was the 3rd tim sum we had within 5 days in HK.. hehe. After checking out and some shopping around the hotel, we ate again at Peninsula Hotel where their high tea was highly recommended. Basically had a good time feasting on chinese food and enjoying the weather during this short holiday.

Busy busy lately and just realised I haven't updated this blog for 2 months! Basically here's some recommendations on great dining places I've visited lately..

Great Places to Dine..
























Joner at Dempsey Road is great! We had a good time chatting while enjoying the cheese platter & red wine. Loved their concept where you can sample the different types of cheese before making a choice.

Their wagyu beef steak is the best I've tasted locally and the alfresco dining area is perfect for a romantic dinner. Loved their gingerbread man cookie too! Didn't buy it though because I certainly wouldn't bear to eat it.



Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria



I loved beef & BBQ food so I think it's delicious! Can't wait to eat there again though it's pretty expensive. There's salad bar & dessert (chocolate fountain & fruits) on top of the knife-welding passadors (meat waiters) moving around the tables, carving the succulent meats from large skewers onto your plates. Certainly not for the faint-hearted but I'm already drooling as I'm writing this.

Flutes at Fort Canning


Had a company event here 2 weeks back. Basically we spent a day at fort canning park for team building activities followed by dinner at Flutes. Very nice & exclusive place.. I think it's a perfect place for proposal (aiya, too late liao! *wink*)
Dinner was organised by the ang-mos so it was free-flow of finger-food & drinks for chillout till late.


PS Cafe @ Dempsey


This place is perpetually full all weekend. Loved their outdoor sitting area.. perfect for after dinner drinks & dessert (the chocolate cake is almost 15cm high i think!) Haven't had chance to eat it yet because we were usually too full by then. Can't wait to try it.. hehe
