Name:
Location: Singapore

A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Food, food and more food..

A whole evening of food & drinks. And as expected, it wasn't a cheap outing, but the company was great. Again, another meet up with Ruoying, Huishan and Si'en :)

We met at Kallang MRT and walked down to the stall in Geylang which sells frog porridge. Good thing Huishan knew the way..haha. I'm always lost there.

The frog porridge was delicious, but expensive if u were to compare with other hawker food ($26 for an order meant for 3 ppl). The plain porridge itself costs $4!!!! How profitable is that?!

We started doing silly things after dinner....

Yup...fly catching!!! But only Si'en did that, while the rest of us watched and laughed over it. She was putting her fly catching skills to good use by ambushing flies and trapping them in the cup. Damn skilled...cos she actually managed to.............


..........succeed twice!!!! We were wanting to trap another, when some big insect scared the girls away..haha. The flies must have had a meeting and wanted revenge for their community.

Next destination....


DURIANS!!!!!!!!!! The MAIN REASON why we had an outing. Huishan was craving for it, and also both of us have already been talking abt the durian feast before I came back for summer. Too bad, we have no idea which stall to patronise, so we just settled on one we thought look most comfortable. And again, out of boredom, Huishan did this and told me to take a photo of it. She calls it the 'Esplanade'...lol...

These 3 girls, for some reason I can't understand, adore mangosteens a lot. So it was mangosteens after durians. We reckon the stall owners "chopped" Si'en when they insisted that we can only buy 3 kg of it for $5. If she wanted lesser, they will sell it at $4 for 2 kg! So the poor girl carried a 3kg bag of mangosteens over to the table in the end.


Hmm...we shall not go back to the same store again...and if we do ever see those stall owners again, we shall tell them how displeased we were with them taking advantage of our young and innocent nature...hmpf!

Headed to 'The Tea Room' at the Esplanade for a drink since we were dying of thirst. I love that place! It's my 1st time there and I find their service pretty good..at least the staff were properly dressed in their uniform, speak well and are very polite. The drinks were of typical pricing like other fancy cafes..from $7 onwards. Oh...forgot to mention. The interior design's of a Victorian style...the kind I love very much. (Did you know what my impression of UK was which made me interested in going there for uni? Hahaha..I was dreaming of going to a school that looked like those in Harry Potter or one which looked like a castle, and enjoying my cups of tea in a cafe with Victorian settings..but wah liew...that's not what it's like there!!! :( Even famous Harrods' cafe doesn't look Victorian at all...)

Anyway, I ordered Mango Creamilicious (I hope I didn't get the name wrong), which is mango juice blended with 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream (luv fattening stuff) to give you a thick drink.
It's delicious, but not a good choice for thirst quenching.

Ruoz, Shan and I gave Si'en her bday present too! Happy Birthday in advance, girl!!! :D


It was Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee at the Old Satay Club (located next to the Esplanade) after the drink session. Manz...we can REALLY EAT!

And how can we forget a group photo hor? Hahaha...shitty thing was my batt died out after this group pic, or else we could have taken more. (I know my pose looks odd. I was trying to squeeze in, and I am aware that the pic isn't centralised either..positioning problem)
