Journey to the south, west, east, north.

8may Journey to the south, Vivo City ~ I'm a Carnivore!
Yuppy...it's foody time. Initially, Bro, unnie and i wanted to have lunch buffet at Ju shin jung, BUT they don't accept NETS and the nearest ATM is like few bus-stops away. What the...we were quite turned off at that point of time. Hence, we change the location and ended up in Vivo's CARNIVORE! From the name, you can roughly guess that it's a meat-based buffet. Yuppy, It's a Brazilian Churrascaria, Brazilian steakhouse, Passadors (meat waiters) come to your table with knives and a skewer, on which are speared various kinds of meat. There is a salad bar at a corner so that we won't literally become carnivores. I like the interior design and the bright ambience.


So if you want the passadors to serve you with the meat, please turn the tag to "SIM, POR FAVOR!". Otherwise, just turn it to "NAO, OBRIGADO". Personally, i feel that there's no different cos they still served me with meat even though my red tag was facing upwards.
Below: My bro's and my favourite sauce, their special BBQ sauce.
Well, don't ask me wat are the things in the picture below...I ALSO DON'T KNOW.
It's $32 ++ per pax. After GST and service charge, it's around $38 per pax. The service was good, especially one of the passadors who actually rmb that my bro and I do not eat beef after we told him once. However, as i'm not a meat-lover, i don't think such brazilian style buffet is worthy. Do you know that at one point of time i couldn't bear to cut my slice of lamb? (it reminded me of the documentary on how the farmers cook a raindeer meal using raindeer's blood, bone marrow, meat and tongue, which i watched the previous night. -_-) Plus, i don't like the smell of mutton and i don't eat beef. Maybe it will be a different story for Jian Ming, my carnivorous friend. HAHAHA.
After the hefty meal, we went for a walk on the top floor of vivo. Yesterday's weather was beautiful, plus the breathtaking scenery. Wow...good for dating...and sun-tanning?? con't to look at the pictures..u will get the picture...(Well, u noe what i'm driving at..)

Unnie and i...
このへんなおじいさんは誰ですか?Who is this weird uncle?
Oh, my bro. He changed his outfit becos of...?
THIS...-_-'''
When ppl say tt i'm weird, i'll reply,"it runs in the blood". SEE...
Embracing the warm...(u mean the UV ray?)

Lastly, a photo with the flower sculpture on the ground floor.

Con't the journey to the south, City Hall ~ Raffles city, War memorial, Suntec, City Link
After parting with Bro and Unnie, i went to meet Cheryl Seah @ City Hall. Since seah has the crave for fried rice, we went to Ding Tai Feng. How can we miss the Xiao Long Bao? Honestly, i felt bloated after the previous meal that i could bearly eat anything else, so i only ate one xiao long bao out of the six.

One, Two, Three, Four, Five.......Six? The Sixth was in Seah's mouth.

After the dinner, seah wanted to go to city link but i refused as i wanna listen to my 933's 罐头剧场大结局!We ended up sitting in front of the war memorial and we had a great chit-chat session. I realised i missed out quite alot for the past 2 sem. Wat was i doing...? I'm sorry friends that i wasn't there for yall for most of the time. I'll try not to be a loner next sem. Well, next sem i have Chris and JX joining me in NUS too!!! HAHAHA.

Oh, we even had supper at Starbucks. Hahaha. Well, we merely ordered hazel nut ice coffee and a classic cinnamon roll to share. Not worth taking pic cos we came to the conclusion that the cinnamon roll of this particular brand was damn good, cannot find it any more. =(
We gave up waiting for bus service number 10 after the super duper long wait, like 30mins, and we decided to catch the train instead. Women's capability, shopping...on our way to MRT, we stopped at City link's HMV...and we brought Taylor Swift's Fearless out...^^ (I love her "White Horse")
Journey to the west, PGP ~ overnight in school
On the way to PGP, seah told me the story plot of "Knowing", a weird show with aliens showing up here and there. (Then i further summarised the plot for swee.)
I couldn't believe i forgot to bring such an impt thing for the overnight stay!!! MY CONTACT LENS' CONTAINER!!! OMG!!! Thank seah for sacrificing her daily disposable contact lens so tt i had something to contain my contacts.

SEAH, you slept like a pig...hahahaha. It was raining and she had no clue abt it. I had to close the windows for her and open them in the morning after the rain had stop. HAHAHA. SEE LAH, sleep so late for wat.
9may Journey to the west, Prata House
Yuppy, it's time for BREAKFAST! We went to the Prata house, located along Clementi road, for breakfast. I had tissue prata and teh tarik while seah had maggie goreng and milo peng. Wow. I really love this kinda life. Like the old uncles go and yum cha with friends after their morning exercises. HAHAHA. 美好的时光总是过得很快,一下子就要道别了。Well, time to say good bye to Seah, and probably PGP for the coming Sem since she couldn't con't her stay in PGP. It's time for me to head to tampinese to meet my dear for our LUNCH DATE.

Journey to the east, Tampinese 1 ~ JAPANESE CUISINE!!!大好き!
I forgot that today was public holiday. IT WAS DAMN CROWDED!! Scary siah. Swee and i realised there are 3 malls in the vicinity of the Tampinese mrt alone. SIAO LOH.
We had our lunch at MANPUKU, which has the similar concept as SHOKUDOU and Mache, whereby each customer was entitled a card to purchase for food and settled the debt in the card at end.
We started with this scallop chawanmushi. Thanks, swee for letting me to eat the scallop. HAHAHA. It was AWESOMELY EXCELLENT!!!! (Price: $3.80)
Next, we ordered Pork okonomiyaki (Japanese Cabbage Pancake) and Hayashi Rice Omu. Both were heavenly! (Price: $9.80 and $7.90 respectively)
The freak, Swee, with Hayashi rice omuライスオム
The Bitch (rmb my "miss bitchy" shirt?), Wing, with Pork Okos豚おこ
OF COS, WE HAVE TO END OFF THE MEAL WITH....*DRUMROWS*

DESSERT!!! let me introduce to you, Matcha parfait 抹茶パフェ (Price: $5.80)
Although it's a bit expensive given the small serving size, i won't mind having a second serving of this. ^^ YUMMY.
Overall, i think we had a super statisfying lunch and the price was reasonable too. <3>
As usual, we did some shopping after the meal. The uniqlo was nothing special. It's just like the singapore's Hang Ten, Giordano...nothing spectacular. HAHAHA. (oh, yes yes, someone accidentally broke a bottle of sake in uniqlo i think...spectacular enough?)
Finally, we reached the basement where most of the food specialities are located. First, we "attacked" the korean minimart, "won" a 200g kimchi out. HAHAHA. Then, I fell in love just by looking at the strawberry shortcake from Yamazaki's display counter! WOW...おいしそう! Then we just walked ard in the Japanese "super". Basically it was full of snacks. I would clear the shelf if i had the money. HAHAHA. We end of the journey to the east with a cup of Mr Bean's soya milk!
Thanks dear for not buying almond soya milk, cos i don't like the medicine smell of almond syrup. ^^
Journey to the north, HOME SWEET HOME
Yeah, time to go home after 34hours of "running away" from home. HAHAHA. Once i stepped into my house, it marked the end of my island wide tour, 环岛追追追. Cooked the korean shin ramen, added egg, ham and the kimchi which i just bought! BEST. Enjoyed my dinner while watching some nonsensical taiwanese drama with super lame plot. i shall not state the title. ^^
Clearly, i'm enjoying my current life!! ^^ What a big contrast from my life 2weeks ago.
