Yaoz! Went to this Tontei Pork Restaurant - Nex Mall @ Japanese Food Hall, Basement 1. Well, it was a happy meal of pork dishes. Had a big set with udon noodles, salad, steamed egg japanese style, slices of pork to dip into soup - 'shabu shabu' style, oden soup, orange slices, dessert of ice cream, tonkatsu oysters and tonkatsu pork.  Got a nice interior deco for this place. Arigato! Yums! Nice Piggy! Nice bamboo deco! the set can share by two people! Oysters - done up! Ice cream - scoops of sesame, vanilla and green tea with crispy cereal bits Row of Sake bottles!

Oooomm. Loved chocolate cake! Went to this Chocolate Origin shop at basement food hall of 313@ Sommerset to buy their 'bitter' dark chocolate cake for A's birthday. Very nice cake, especially those chocolate lovers who like the bitter chocolate taste. Think their presentation is clean and neat for a chocolate cake shop. The shop also sells the original chocolate flavour cake (less bitter) and their smaller lava cake. Chocolate Origin has one other outlet in Changi Village. The Shop @ 313 Sommerset Original or Dark? Peek at the bitter chocolate cake Nice cake - Yums 

Lower Pierce Reservoir Park, which is located in the Thomson area, is a nice and peaceful park. Took a stroll along the trail and recorded images of people, animals and activities in the park. Love coming to this park because it is really serene, and one can find very interesting wildlife in the secondary forest and broadwalk areas. Do take a walk and do not feed the monkeys!

Loved to go to a shop located in Casuarina Road (Singapore) named 'Biscuit King'. As the shop name implies, it sells all sorts of 'old style' biscuits. Well, for biscuit lovers, the store is like 'heaven'. Bought one packet of pineapple jam filled biscuits, which cannot be found in shopping malls. Check out the photos, biscuit lovers! Tins of biscuits- all sorts of flavours the store also has small packs of biscuits Love the colourful biscuits Jam filled biscuits

Had a nice plate of soya sauce chicken noodles at Chiew Kee chicken noodle house in Upper Cross Street. We also had a bowl of dumpling soup. Chicken noodles & dumplings were very nice, not expensive and loved the traditional feel of this coffeeshop. The chicken noodle shop is near to Chinatown Point, Singapore.

Thanks to Courts Singapore, this blogger here attended the one night only Duran Duran Singapore concert in Singapore Indoor Stadium. The concert was super good! The British boy band played evergreen favourites songs like James Bond movie's 'A view to a kill', 'The Reflex' and 'No ordinary world'. The crowd in the Indoor Stadium totally enjoyed the experience. Awesome concert and we had excellent maroon seats with a good view.         Well, Duran Duran is on a worldwide tour, hope they will stop over in your country. The 4 Duran Duran boys - Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor - showed the crowd why they are still the best during this world concert tour promoting their latest album, All You Need Is Now.

Went to eat at the award winning Blue Ginger Restaurant which serves excellent Perankan food. The Blue Ginger is located in the Tanjong Pagar area, Singapore. The sponsored lunch at Blue Ginger was all thanks to History Asia folks. The Perankan food served that day was so nice - had chicken, kuey pie tee, longan drink, otak, beef rendang, durian chendol and many good stuff. Have a good look at the pictures and feel very hungry.

On every Friday between 8pm-10pm in the Singapore Science Centre, the Observatory would be open for the public to gaze at stars and planets in the sky. The Obervatory is a big telescope and it would open out to the sky to see planets in our solar system. There would be other types of telescopes, albeit smaller ones, which help to see the stars and moon up close. The stars would look like tiny diamonds on the telescope. Do try and visit the Science Centre for a star gazing experience.

There is a new eating place named Careshop de Cafe which is located at 70 Bendemeer Road, Luzerne Building, which also has an 'Audio House' outlet there. The place is a really quiet and you can have a meal during the weekday evenings with minimal disturbances. We went there as a group of 4 and in the cafe there was only one other couple having a meal with white wine. We had baked rice pastas, spicy ramen bowl and japanese bento rice. I like the eating place's decorations which makes the cafe look happy.
