Superb Sashimi at Akashi

March 31, 2009April 1, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Lunch today was at Akashi Japanese Restaurant located at Vivocity. It’s a nice cozy place. The first thing that struck me was their wasabi. It is the real thing. Not the wasabi paste you get in most Japanese restaurant. ...

Braised Beef Noodle at Holland Village Hawker Centre

March 25, 2009May 23, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the same as stewed beef noodle. It’s suprisingly very good, much better than the same from Crystal Jade, at about half the price. — Posted from my N95 ...

Helping With Housework

March 20, 2009December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  Here’s the cute little Vanessa trying to help out with housework. She loves dragging the floor wipes throughout the house, kind of like helping to mop up the floor. She looks very happy with this little activity. I just ...

Cafe On The Ridge

March 19, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  The Orange Gunner served up by the Cafe on the Ridge looked odd (photo on left). Can you guess what’s wrong with it? The slice of orange has been stuffed onto the rim of the glass wrongly. The “reference” ...

Buffet At Ellenborough Market Cafe

March 14, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  We recently went to Ellenborough Market Cafe at the Merchant Court Hotel for high tea. They are quite famous for their buffets. I’ve quite enjoyed their buffet for many years, despite the crowd. But I somehow felt different ...

Childcare Week Two

March 11, 2009December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This is the second week of Vanessa’s childcare attendance. She seems to be doing very well at the childcare centre. She doesn’t fuss at all when we leave the house in the morning, even when our domestic helper ...

Stewed Beef Brisket Noodle

March 9, 2009May 26, 2016  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  I like stewed beef brisket noodle. The one at Crystal Jade used to be quite good but they seem to be getting less nice over time. There’s a stall at Bukit Timah Hawker Centre that serves pretty good ones. — Posted from my ...

Dinner At Harry’s

March 8, 2009  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  A couple of nights ago, we headed over to Harry’s for dinner. That’s the Harry’s pub at Rail Mall, pretty close to where we stay. I think they’ve been open there for over a year now, and even though we go ...

Vanessa’s So Happy To Go School

March 4, 2009December 24, 2011  |  Lifestyle & Family  |  This week we started sending Vanessa to child care. I’m pretty surprised that she is so happy and excited to go “school”. She was all ready early in the morning, dressed up and in very good spirits. She donned ...
