you know

you know how some things are inevitable, no matter how hard you try.
you know how some things you cannot run from, no matter how hard you try.
you know how some things just linger, and you can't get it out of your head, no matter how hard you try.

and you know, cos no matter how hard you try, you know.

you can't run away from FOOD

the thing that keeps me sane... is food ;D

hahaha.

I mean how can food not make you happy? (other than the fats but that's another story)

fish head steamboat with parents on a rainy night.

it was not terribly tasty BUT it was not too bad :) 

http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/tian-wai-tian-fishhead-steamboat-restaurant-hougang-tai-seng-upper-serangoon/ - you can see some reviews here I guess.

and then on some other random day we went for CURRY NOODLES at Old Town White Coffee.

And I was impressed ^^

it was goooooooood NOM NOM.

we went to the branch at Kallang Wave mall :)

llao llao at Plaza Sing.

I don't really get the hype. I've tasted it twice and I think I have had enough.

Dad bought some dim sum back from Tiong Bahru Pau the other day :)

I love their char siew paus, small and delightful.

Okay, now back to some work.

Maki-san

they had some Groupon sales so....

it wasn't a filling meal, sadly.

and not cheap either!

Standing Sushi Bar

5 slices for $3 (promos for Thurs)

Mentaiko Pasta (had better ones at Five & Dime, Hoshino)

All thing Salmon, Everything Salmon roll (about $16)

HAPPY 3 FRIENDS ^^

MY BELLY WAS HAPPY.

AND MY WALLET WAS SAD.

Hoshino

With the recent hype in cafes and whatnot, CAFES ARE EVERYWHERE!!

and they are seriously not cheap :(

kachinggggg.

tried Hoshino at Plaza Sing twice and I would say...

once is enough?

HAHAHA.

souffle pancakes which was not bad :)

We only tried the Mentaiko pasta for mains and it was really quite tasty.

The second time I visited Hoshino...

the mains were LUKEWARM :(

not even warm. like MEH.

this is like $10 AFTER taxes SO EXPENSIVE!

LOOKS GOOD. but the rice underneath was like cold.

 

French toast was not bad though.

after editing HAHAHA. for instagram purposes!

We had the Mentaiko pasta again! and it was tasty.

just not hot/warm :(

and the bill was like $60 for just these, which is quite expensive I think.

Don't think I'll be going back soon.

cos its expensive and I REALLY like my food hot.
