The Oasis 海京楼台湾粥 @Toa Payoh

Bloody cockles

Bloody cockles

It’s the last day of 2013 and we were looking for a place for lunch. Ended up in Toa Payoh, and since we were looking for some light food, we strolled to Toa Payoh garden and visited Oasis Taiwan Porridge!

It has been quite a while since we visited and we have always been a fan of the Taiwan porridge here because it serves cockles! This bloody (literally) shell delicacy goes so well with the plain smooth porridge! And also because this place is never crowded, has a great view of Toa Payoh Lake, and most importantly, has air-con! You see, when you eat piping hot porridge, you don’t want to be in a air-con-less place because that makes you sweat profusely and its uncomfortable.

This place has a great ambiance and the tables are not cramped together, which gives patrons enough ‘breathing space’. There are not too much parking space though so for those who drives, you may have to park at the nearby Toa Payoh Stadium, and take a short walk.

Bhutan Day 2 – Thimphu

[Here is the photostream of Bhutan 2013 Day 2, for those who prefer pictures to tell a story. 🙂]

Indeed peaceful

Indeed peaceful

Woke up bright and early to have breakfast at 7:00 so that we can some time after breakfast to check out the rest of the hotel. We liked the beautiful flowers that were blooming in the little gardens! Then we realised another advantage of arriving at the beginning of breakfast time – we would definitely get hot food! However, breakfast was only ready around 07:15, so it might be a bit difficult if one was in a rush…

Ayam Penyet Ria @Lucky Plaza

Dinner spread

Dinner spread

Very late night dinner in town and we HGW-ed Lucky Plaza and found Ayam Penyet!

  • Ayam Penyet ($7.40): Very yummy indeed. The portion was not very huge, but the chicken was extremely crispy on the outside and tender inside!
  • Ayam Bakar ($7.50): A little too sweet for our liking, and the chicken looked even smaller than the Ayam Penyet…
  • Tahu Telor ($6.10): This was quite good, except that the peanut sauce was rather cold.
  • Es Cendol ($3.60): This was quite unique as it had a very strong taste of jackfruit, we quite enjoyed it!
  • Kopi-O Kosong ($1.90): This was ordered only because Kopi-C Kosong was not available… haha

Have been craving for Taiwan food ever since we came back so this “sort-of” satisfy our cravings before we go Taiwan again!

Hai Zhong Bao (海中寶) Live Seafood @AMK

Daddy read about this zichar stall in the newspapers and thought the food looked pretty good! Some of his friends also said that the food was not bad, so off we went to try!

Located just a few blocks opposite Ang Mo Kio MRT Station and the Town Garden, Hai Zhong Bao Live Seafood occupies the corner stall of this kopitiam at the void deck of Blk 422. Like many kopitiams in Singapore, the environment is homely, lively and a little noisy at times, especially when a soccer match is going on. 🙂

Table Manners @Changi City Point

Perfect place for dinner

Perfect place for dinner

Happened to attend a conference at Expo today, so we planned to drop by Changi City Point to check it out.

Decided to try out this place coz hubby read that the burger is good! It was pretty crowded at 7+pm on a Friday, so reservations may be a good idea.

The restaurant is divided into a small indoor area and a bigger alfresco dining area. The tables are lined up into one long curved stretch rather than individually island-ed,  and diners sit on both sides of the long table, very much like in a canteen. This gives the diners a very communal friendly ambience and everyone feels like we could be friends instantly!

Taipei Trip Day 1 (Friday) – Maokong, Shenkeng, Tonghua/Linjiang Night Market, EZ5

Flight TZ202

Flight TZ202

Let’s Scoot out of here! Thanks to the $0.02 promotion 2 months ago, we are Scooting out on a nice Friday morning! Very early indeed, on flight TZ202 departing at 12:55am on 13 Sep 2013 at Changi Airport T1 Gate F50. Check-in was a breeze as there was no queue when we arrived 2.5 hours before flight time.

Flight time was 4.5 hours and we touched down ahead of schedule at Taoyuan Airport in Taipei around 5:25am and were greeted by the beautiful sunrise. It was a very smooth flight, and the plane was very clean with very decent leg space! Descent was very lovely with the countless lights from the grounds that shone through as we watched the skies slowly change from dark to light.  Too bad there was a toddler crying for perhaps ⅓ of the time and was sometimes crying directly into hubby’s face so he didn’t get to rest much.

Prata Raya @AMK Hub

Chicken Bryani

Chicken Bryani

Went to grab lunch at this little outlet right outside the main building of AMKHub before visiting Challenger (hoping not to have to go Comex@Expo… haha!)

Ordered Nasi Briyani Chicken and Sardine Murtabak, along with Kopi C Kosong and Teh Tarik (less sweet).

I think it’s very important to emphasize less sweet, otherwise I will die of sugar high 😛 less sweet was just nice!

Wee Nam Kee @United Square

Wee Nam Kee used to be at Novena Ville but had to be relocated to United Square due to new developments. I have not tried them out because it was after all chicken rice and you can get chicken rice all over Singapore. Well the opportunity avail itself tonight so we decided to give this famous chicken rice a try 🙂

It wasn’t overly crowded on a weekday evening, and we were able to get seats immediately, although not the attention of the waitress as quickly. We quickly ordered half a roast chicken and some stir fry dou miao to go along.
