Saw this at Jaya Grocer and thought of my sis right away. Nothing bad, just adorable. The Super Dooper Reindeer Pooper… The jelly bean taste of Butterscotch and Cola…
As I mention on my previous blog that Rita love story is just unbearable, here’s a video that I made.
Where was I? Haven’t blog in about a month now cause been really busy working 12 hours daily, back to Malacca almost everyweek and just plain lazy.. The best thing though I got to a short trip to Singapore and enjoy their lovely Christmas decorations and now back to hell hole and work like a dog. Enough rambling, that doggie job does pay my rent, car and bill.. can’t complain.
The main point for this Singapore trip is no other than MAKAN.. After we got into woodland we started to think of the best place to eat as research by Rita. But first we drop by at my Grandma’s causin place, Aunty Pat at Choa Chu Kang. After all the talking and gossiping bout this and that we headed down to Commonwealth Drive for Chicken Rice. It was seriously good as the chicken meat are soft, the rice are not clumpy like the ones in KL and best thing is that it is Halal. So Rita and Shira enjoyed it a lot. I do too..

Next we went down town to search for our hotel. Rita (also a very useful map guide reader) got confused with the north and south direction that we end up checking in at about 4pm. It’s alright though, we found it. It’s called Aqueen hotel at Lavender Street. Newly open 2 days ago while we were there. Me and Rita was impressed with the room when we got it. It is pretty much fully equipt with the towel, LCD tv, mini fridge, tiny wardrobe, phone, hair dryer and safe box. For only $78 per night it was worth it. One little problem, this hotel is located beside a casket place.

Another little problem, the bathroom that we had is pretty visible, we practically could see each other ass while on showering. I had a good laugh while witnessed one of my housemate’s ass.. hahahaha.. best days ever. So after the bath and good laugh, we headed down to town to eat. We came across this stall at Lavender Foodcourt that serves Turtle and Crocodile Herbal Soup. Eww… I don’t even dare to take frog, can’t imagine this.
Exotic Stuff that i'll never try
This is how we travel around. Cheap and convenience.
This is how we roll
Food hunt #2, we had our dinner at Banquet at Bugis Area. The Lemon Chicken Rice is awesome but a little stingy on the sauce, chicken feet is nice too, love it but the popiah is a so so… nothing to brag.

And of course the Bugis Steet area….

1st pic, Shira messing with my camera took shoots of this underwear. Notice on the second picture on top, that was supposed to be a chocolate chip but looks more like tits. There’s also a store called WANKO?? Seriously..
Next day food hunt #3.. Search for food again.. This store opens at 11am so we had to wait, in the mean time we had other food like Roti John and Chicken wings at the next door shop. No pic cause too excited, but there’s Sup Tulang Merah.

Later we headed to Katong area which wasted our time there, not to mention we were lost looking the correct bus route. Rita wanted to go to the Katong Antique House since the last trip to learn and discover the Peranakan Culture but was turn down by the owner Peter Wee that looked down on us as if we were there for free. WTF!! He is a well know to Peranakan community in Singapore but which such treatment that’s such a shame.
Katong Antique House
This what happen when you try places that’s random and not sugessted by people.. You’ll get bad crappy food. Savoury Place.. Your banana pastries is as hard as a rock and the banana is as sour as your shop name.. SAVOURY PLACE.. that’s better.
This place served rotten banana pastries
Good thing we see something to feed the eye a little..
Adorable "old school" homes in a row
Day dreaming of owning one
Which cost 2.8mil...
After the awful trip to Katong area this time, we were lost to some housing area. I know.. my fault. Then we interchange to a diffrent bus since there’s no bus that headed to our hotel. We took a bus back to town and got back to Bugis Street. Shira bought cosmetics and Victoria Secret. While the mouth watering Burger King Premium Angus Beef is calling our name to try one. So we got one and share in 3. It was great. The sauce, the crispy onion and the meat. Just a finger licking. Hungry now.. Might drive down to our ass BK and try their ass burger that they serve. Pathetic.
We tried their Burger King.. Damn tasty.
After the bath.. (don’t worry we didn’t check out each other asses this time. We bathe in the dark instead. So no shadow, no ass). Next, hello Orchard Street…
Down the Orchard Road
But first.. A tribute to the Christmas Tree around the world…
Christmas Tree
Gingy is like my favourite character in Shrek. I even Wiki about him.. I mean how sad it is to see he lost his leg after Lord Farquaad torture him from running away, then he got a crutch to help him walk about while his leg is healing from the icing sugar stiching. Later in second installment of Shrek, he help Shrek by introducing the Muffin Man to make an enormous Gingerbread Man named Mongo which was killed in steaming milk, sadly to see Gingy cry loud for his brother. As for the third installment he was almost killed again by Prince Charming while his life flashes before his eyes when he was used to be happily to a Gingerbread Woman named as Suzy, running on his feet in an open field freely after the recover. Now that I see him on the Singapore shopping center advertisement, I am glad that he found his freedom celebrating Chistmas with his family. Merry Christmas Gingy…
Gingy's Family
Yeah do enjoy your Christmas with VISA. Santa's on a tight budget.
I love travelling but not much for the packing and hate the most to unpack them. So with this size of a bag.. huh…
A real huge LV bag.
Also saw this group of people doing cheerleading. They didn’t cheer, more like picking up girls. Don’t really get their point. It is my first real live performance unlike as in Bring It On.
Be Aggressive.. Be Be Aggressive
Now.. we mess around wasting the kodak. errrr.. memory stick ehem…
Christmas Balls
Running with your boyfriend I see
What you peeking at?
Heads underarms
Not sure if she’s on sugar, but she’s real crazy. Hugging every man he lay eyes on, punching balls, stealing purse, pretending being spoon fed by a model. That’s just Shira being Shira.
Silly Shira
We walk down to the nearest MRT to go back to our hotel and we saw this each and different ones along the way. Check out this picture below. First of all the guy that was immitating the statue is funny enough but what the hell is that thing sticking out on the right side of the statue? Can anyone tell me?
I don't really get this thing..
The next day we go for breakfast food hunt #4, we wanna have chinese typical breakfast so we had these at Tong Seng Coffee Shop, 496 North Bridge Road. We don’t understand the person that took our order and the lady that we had to pay to was like a gangster. Scary..
Pan Mee
Wan Tan Mee with Chicken Feet
Shopping is not enough, since the shop is clossing from the previous night we scroll down the Orchand. Round 2. Stopped at Sommerset 313. New mall. Not many stores but loves the collection that HMV music stores. Almost all you need is in there. Rita got her ZARA coat, she’s happy.. then we had coffee with an interesting presentation at Blue Mountain Cafe. The crystal sugar, is new to me and Rita. We goo goo ga ga over it awhile..
Coffee
Everywhere you go there’s SALES and people.. It’s crazy. The walkway is always filled with people. Where are these people going?
Orchard maddness SALEs and street performance
We checked out The Paragon, and discover this place called Da Paolo Gastronomia that sells all kinds of food that you just can’t find in KL, but maybe there’s at Harrods. Not sure. When we looked at it, we figure out to get this and pack it all up tomorrow on our way back to KL. C’mon would you just look at the amazing displays.. It’s mouth watering…
Gloriously beautiful
Then we meet my Aunt Patsy and Ulrica, cause she promised to bring us out for dinner. While waited for our buffet at Concorde Hotel at 6.00pm, we had our coffee at Coffee Club. The coffee in Singapore is really good compared to the ones in Malaysia. They’re all taste great. Just perfect. But a little slow while serving. As long as the coffee is good, it must be a worth the wait.
That's my Grandaunt Patsy messin' the foam
Me caus Ulrica and Shira
That’s one sparking tree..
Aunt Pat, me, Ulrica and Shira under the Christmas Tree
Kinky stuff.. them being sillly..
Rita huggin' while Shira Punchin'
We had an awesome Seafood buffet. Everything is great. Like Rita said, it’s not much variety but the small range of selection just enough to cover it all cause they’re all great unlike big buffet that only one or two that taste good.
Singapore is never complete without the buffet
After the buffet we went to Clake Quay for a walk. We walk and see the lights and the night life out there and also Rita wanted to meet up her love. Which I will not post it now.. Her love there is unbearable painful and need to be posted in a separate post, for the love of two is beautiful of the ladolcerita.
What am I looking for?
Before we went back to KL, Shira can’t get enough of shopping at Mustafa Center. I bought some stuff too plus don’t fancy that much to buy cause my mum goes to Singapore all the time and could asked her get me anything. Shira shop and shop and shop.. it’s scary to see her like that. She’s not nomally like that. She’s happy cause she got 1 Guess bag, and another huge bag and a red coat from Gap. And lots and lots of chocolates at Mustafa.. It’s insane.
As promised we came the next day to pack em all up. I got the bill amazingly $80.15 equavalent to RM201.54 as per Amex rate. Shira spend about $50. We also tried the scones and the amazing tasty Salmon Pizza. I always remember how good food taste like. This is what I will never forget.
Probably the most expensive brunch ever
Also look at these bottles.. amazing huh? Hot man’s abs, nice girl ass and Hello.. Kitty.. It’s like for mummy, daddy and the kids at home. If they’re legal to drink of course.
Hell of wine bottles
Till then Singapore will we meet again in February, as I will be celebrating my Chinese New Year there. Surprise me baby!!
Here, just to share. Picture paints a thousand words. I have 2 pictures here that may not say much but it shows much. This is probably the best “Pai Tee” i’ve had in my life.. with a little touch(ewww… i hope not) Check out the two pictures, spot something?
GO UNCLE!! GO UNCLE!! GO DEEP!!
I hope he didn’t finish his work by flicking “it” around, it’s a Pasar Malam for God’s sake. Might have your dinner with an extra flavour.. EWWW….
WARNING THIS MAY CAUSE HUNGER AND DEPRESSION OF HOMETOWN.
When I miss my hometown i’ll be thinking nothing more but the FOOD… there are few substitute here in KL, nothing taste just as good. I have to agree that KL expensive food are good, but the cheap hawker version.. nah!!
Introducing..
The Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun
The Wan Tan Mee
The Satay Celup
More Satay Celup
The Blended Coconut Shake
The Chicken Rice Balls
The Tengkera Excessively Ajinomoto Mee Sup

The Crisy Pancakes
With all that galore food, the best part is that it is so cheap. Looking at this makes me hungry. Lucky me i’m going back to soon.. End of chapter 1 of Malacca Wonders.
My current obsessed is the no other than Lady Gaga. Her “Fame” album got me hooked to my most listen ipod list, blasting in my car stereo and her song is in my freaking mind all the time. I really looked up to her eccentric performance, her lyrics to her songs, her videos and her thoughts about fashion. Many might find her weird but I find her stunningly mind-blowing. Her fashion is her life, the clothes she wear could be made from practically anything, from bubble to metal maybe a trash can if she could pull it off, giving more inspiration and strive to many young and well known designers.
The Many of Gaga
I have seen her in many interview and many times emphasised her name is “Gaga”. She did made it clear and wants people to be clear of it. The way she talk I can see that she is a very smart, firm lady and not another blond. (she wasn’t a natural blond anyway, a brunette in fact. It is true than being blond is more fun) . Plus I hated if any artist being interview and kept saying “er you know” “well you know” like the whole time, seriously I really don’t know what is your point? So far this is the best interview where she expresses her thoughts towards judgemental in woman. She killed that interviewer that I know.
And also another, her performance at MTV awards was awesome and her medley at SNL is beyond comparable showing her potential of more than just another singer. Check it out at youtube.

I always have the craze over series and episodes that pin me down on the sofa and even on the bed watch for hours back to back, kept saying it’s enough but still kept on going. TV Series are addictive, I haven’t been following much lately cause being a couch potato it just dont feel right. My long love towards Smallville is still in my heart. The fact that the series has been up to Season 9 now, really impress me. It’s also sadden me cause it normally end up in Season 10. As a long love to Superman, charming Tom Welling, awesome cinematography, blends perfectly in the series.
Smallville
My another craze is the “Friends” the All American sitcom, probably the best. American flag should have a picture of em’ seriously. I could watch Friends, over and over again, laugh endlessly to witted comedy Pheobe, silly Joey, freaky Monica, typical Rachel, weird Ross and sometimes-i-dont-get-his-joke Chandler. Rita and I love em so much that we remember the words, the “oh!! this is the best part..”, and lots of moments as if there’s a projector at the back of our head. I am still waiting for the “Friends the Movie” someday, cause the last 10th season episode brought me to tears that our friends is no longer there. Good thing there’s DVD.
Friends
My Name is Earl, I remember my first episode that I watch at my cousin Alvin and Jean’s place, I was totally hooked up with it. Loves Joy character a lot. As a matter of fact all of the characters are great. The script writing, the sequence to each episode is awesome. Well, never play a fool with Karma.. Sadly it ended at season 4.
My Name is Earl
Tina Fey rocks in 30 Rocks. winner to countless Emmy awards. She’s hilarious plus I wonder why that her good friend, Amy Poehler is not working in this show together, they’re awesome in SNL. Currently on season 3, hope it’ll keep on running.
30 Rock
Greys anatomy, what can I say. Many of the slutty good looking doctor sleeping around with each other going to work the next day pretend that nothing happen, aphrodisiac lift and staircase. Drama drama drama.
Greys Anatomy
Now, my craze is back. I did tried watching the premier to the Vampire Diaries.. neh.. it ain’t that good. C’mon they’re too old be in high school. And the fact that lately Vampires can’t burn in sunlight anymore just not classic. However these days that whatever has to do with Vampire might work. The Beautiful Life did great on the first episode, I quite enjoyed it, but the second episode the impact isn’t that good. The back from the dead Marrisa from the O.C., is now a supermodel mummy named Sonya Stone(Misha Barton). High School Musical, Corbin Bleu a model? hmm.. probably lose the hair might work, he’ll be a lot cuter. Sara Paxton in “The Last House on the Left” played a remarkable performance, more to a nice girl to be in college than a supermodel. New guy Benjamin Hollingsworth is not that model like, leaving the farm to fashion and glamour just for on overnight, that’s one beautiful life. Sadly the premier had low viewers, they may have stopped the production.
Vampire Diaries & The Beautiful Life
This one I may enjoy more now, The Melrose Place. Mystery murder unsolved till the end of the season kind of show. From CW, the producer to Smallville.. ohh.. must watch. Enjoyed the Pilot episode, the 2nd and the 3rd. I wanna watch more. At first, Ashley Simpson? Why? Don’t judge her like I do, apart from the nose job, she did well as an actress this time. You’ll starting to like her. Handsome Colin Eagglesfield is HOT HOT.. Stephanie Jacobson is an asian desperate doctor(sadly what she needs to do to clear the fees). Katie Cassidy a hardcore workaholic bitch working for a jackass boss. And the house is gorgeous.
Melrose Place
My other craze are like One Tree Hill, Desperate Housewives, The O.C., Heroes. Which got me missed a lot. Too bad my sources are not around. (Lissa: One Tree Hill & Desperate Housewives, Ariana: O.C., Alvin: Heroes)

In the picture above, there are 3 apples. Which is which? A real apple, a candle apple or the mooncake apple? It is like the world is imitating to be like the green apple. Hmm…
Well, the deal here is that this apple is a collection to the Doraemon edition of mooncake that I bought about a week ago. It came with various types and imitation flavours. Some taste great, some not. However, I am sharing this. If you do interested in trying a different taste of mooncake you can try it purchasing it at Bisgood company. There’s one in Mid Valley and another near at the Jusco Kepong. My recommendation is the Tiramisu, Black Humor and the Snow skin Durian(it’s the best).
The catalog to the mooncake. If you see closely there's several fairy tale character around.
(On the catalog, there’s Doraemon on a broomstick, Harry Potter indeed. Also Nobita as the Aladdin. At least that makes sense flying, don’t get with the chair, bicycle, barrel and umbrella flying though.. Look closely at the Doreamon broomstick someone seems to be stuck on it.. What a pity ride up the sky)
- Types of Mooncakes
People this days are adapting with the now generation people into indulging food. From traditional mooncake to this colourful, favourite taste that we loves this days. Attracting the young by bringing up all kinds of characters. I’m not surprise if someday there’ll be Vampire-Twilight-Warewolf version of mooncake with Edward, Bella and Jacob face on it. Who knows..?? with the tagline of “Put your Forks in it”. And just to say here, I realize that the Doraemon Craze is back. It’s like almost everywhere or maybe it’s just me. What do u think?
Last Chinese New Year, my mother was invited to be on a documentary on Astro. It was a moment of glory for my mum and a great start for her year. It was her first time to be on television. Not knowing that she will be on Astro Discovery and Living plus being hosted by a well known MTV VJ Denise Keller, who is also Vera’s cousin from Singapore. She has been hosting as a VJ, modellings and commercials and now this new TV travelogue in Passage to Malaysia.
September issue of Women's Weekly
Family Reunion Dinner
I wonder why that my family wasn’t on aired on that show. Apart from being proud that my mum was on TV, it was a great experience for a Chinese New Year and also the time to be together with my grandparents, aunt and uncle. The peranakan style.
My mom, a pride owner of Nancy’s Kitchen down in the heart of Malacca runs a well known Peranakan Restaurant in Jonker Street. Why does it takes a while for me to bring up about my mum’s establishment? Well, I guess this is the right time. (to show off.. hahah). I never doubt her cooking, never doubt her taste of food, never doubt of her crazy jokes. Like any child, anyone could be proud of her mum, she is the mentor in my life.
I will be writing more about my mum in future, but now if you haven’t got the chance to catch her in Discovery Travel and Living. Here’s a bit of clip of her and my good friend Vera’s family Chinese New Year Celebration. Enjoy.
Archie and Bubble was caught doing this. Check out the video.
