There's nothing very interesting during my recent trip to Sg, but it's definitely a "
fattening" one. I spent quite some time travelling alone by bus & MRT to my destinations, swimming, visiting some places, but most of my time was spent on feasting.

Taken in bus :) |
Reasons for gaining weight:
1. My aunt likes to order a lot of food when we go our for meals.
2. They have a maid who is good in cooking. e.g.:
|
Soft tofu topped with mushrooms. Don't they looked like those dishes served in restaurants? |
3. The main reason is: I just couldn't resist all those good food~
Slurp~~
Well.. I did enjoy some nice foods there. I managed to try out different cuisines such as western food in The Prime Society at Dempsey Road, where I had my chance to try out the Wagyu Steak for the first time. The difference between a Wagyu Steak and the normal beef is that the meat is more tender and has more flavor. They also provided some seasonings' choices for customers to add to the beef. After the main course, we also ordered some desserts. I forgotten what was the name, but it's very sweet. It's definitely an expensive dinner, but the foods were below expectation.

During my visit, I also meet up with my friend in Sg. She was so nice to bring me around Bugis Street and Junction. We met up at the Bugis MRT Station and she took me for lunch at the Bugis Mall. There's a lot of Japanese food outlets there and we just dropped by a crowded stall for Ramen. I was so full and really have to thank her for buying me this expensive meal.

Besides from all these delicious outside food, I also had some heavy but satisfying home made food. We had salmon for western dinner.

My aunt also invited her ex-neighbor's family to her place for dinner.
I also had crab from the food stall just down the street of my aunt's place. One crab was enough to be shared by 5 people, so imagine how fleshy and big was the crab. The taste was just so so (maybe coz it's already cold). However, I would like to have more! I'm a crab lover! ^_^

Had some healthy snacks as well.. FRUITS~ Mangoes, grapes, kiwis, strawberries, bananas and of cos, cherries.. After my first bite of cherries, I fell in love with it.. I never know that cherries taste so good coz what I had before are those topped on cakes. Just found out those topped on cakes are called maraschino cherries. They may look nice, but the taste..... AWFUL! Compare the fresh ones and maraschino cherries.
What I can say is: Don't judge the book by its cover~~
I also did not fail to buy one box back to Kuching for my parents.

My cuz and I also used some cherries to make cupcakes which we served these to our guests. I know they don't look that good, but the taste was still acceptable.. Hehe..

Visited Cathay Cineplex with my cuz for movie as well. We watched Total Recall and bought popcorn as well. My cuz had the salty ones, whereas I got myself the sweet caramel popcorn. I finished the whole packet. So filling and full that I did not have much for dinner at home after that.
That's not the end of trip. My aunt's family also brought me to the new park in Singapore: Gardens by the Bay. We did not enter those conservatories as the queue to purchase the tickets was too long, but we managed to get on the SkyWay which was constructed by linking those Supertrees. I surely got tanned during this walk. Imagine walking in the garden during noon.. =.=

We also visited the Sentosa Beach on one of the weekends. Luckily it's in the evening when it's not that hot..
