ByFood: An Organic Vegan Meal at Fu Lu Shou Complex

There are times when we just want to feel slightly healthier and one good way is to choose organic vegetarian food over high-calorie eats for just one or two meals. We do not want to just go for normal vegetarian stalls because many of them serve oily, deep fried and salty dishes. It is best to try out organic cafes though a bowl of noodles may cost more than the usual coffeeshop style. That is what I do anyway, and indeed, it made me feel better especially after the guilt of eating full cream Nestle ice cream for two consecutive days. 

By Sunny : Wedding Dinner at Conrad Centennial Singapore

Tonight is my Cousin's daughter wedding day. Porky & me represented our parents & went for the dinner. The dinner is held at Conrad Centennial Singapore, the food is prepared by Golden Peony Chines Restaurant. This is the 1st time I have eaten the food there.

Before going over to the hotel, we went to this shop called 冰变 （Bing Bian)-An Affair With Ice @ Millenia Walk. These are our desserts before dinner. XD

ByFood: Taiwanese Food vs My Taste Buds

No matter how many times I tried Taiwanese food, unless it was dessert, I could never rate them more than 7/10. Perhaps the problem lies with my taste buds and till now, I am still not able to put a finger to what went wrong. 

Many friends raved about the food they ate in Taiwan and told me that I had to try the "authentic thing". So I flew to Taiwan, only to come home in disappointment. I have had better food before in my life elsewhere and it was only natural to compare. I prefer the braised minced pork with rice cooked by Mum's Filipino maid to those that I ate in Taiwan. The desserts sold in Taiwan are simply fantastic and almost good beyond words though. One thing for sure, Taiwan really has a vast and interesting variety of dishes on their country's food menu till it is not possible for anyone to try every single dish in his/her entire life.

BySunny: Go Penang with Porky & Jasmine flower...

Porky suggested to give Jasmine flower & me a treat this week. We have been choosing from buffet from Plaza Singapura to Shaw Centre & finally we decided on "Penang Place Resturant" at Connexis. I personally like penang food quite alot. Especially the Penang Laksa. In my heart, I am hoping it will not be a disappointment this time. Cant find very nice Penang Laksa so far. Well..overall the food is quite nice although Penang Laksa is not really up to my expectation..haha.. The Char Kway Teow is not so oily & the taste is good. The Century Egg Porridge is nice too.
