Som Tam

By -
Its been a long time since I met up with the girls, the last meet up was near the end of August to celebrate Yun Qi's birthday and this time round is to celebrate Kimberlin's birthday. I decided that we should go to Som Tam at Orchard Central to reminisce on our Bangkok trip with some Thai food.


Magazine style inspired menu 


Wings Phet Phet- Deep fried wings with spicy Tom Yum seasoning.

Enjoyed the wings a lot while it was hot and crispy. I realized that whenever we dine, we would always order wings. I would of course prefer wings over drumlets.  


Ordered the Pad Thai that Kim have been craving for, so happy that I made the decision to come here. Although the pad thai was quite oily, it was still appetizing.



Pineapple Fried Rice- Safe choice but I do not really enjoy the taste of it since the rice is tossed in turmeric and thai curry. 


Flying Fish- It is actually deep fried crispy mackerel in tom yum seasoning again. So crispy that we can eat it entirely like ikan bilis.  


Som Tam gave us a complimentary cake since I told them that it was Kim's birthday. The staff are also very friendly even though I could see that they are quite understaffed since it took them quite some time to get us the water which we had requested for several times. 

Even though the food was not authentic Thai food unlike what we had back in Bangkok, the bonding time we had together is what matters the most. No matter how busy we are, we still make the time and effort to celebrate and remember each other's birthday.

Korea day 5

By -

Time passes so fast when you are enjoying yourself. It is the fifth day in Korea. As usual, we packed up and left the resort in the morning to eat breakfast at the place we had our dinner the day before. I had quite a phobia that they will serve the fake "codfish" soup again as it does not taste nice at all. Luckily, the menu was beef stew soup but we do not eat beef so the soup was substituted with pork tonkatsu which is made with seafood. It does not taste appetising at all and I did not eat much as I am not used to eating rice for breakfast. I also hate having to eat mayonnaise with rice. It just tastes so...wierd...   After breakfast, we left for Everland. It opens at 9.30am but we reached there at about 10plus. We took a shuttle bus into the amusement park and took both group and solo photos at the entrance. Following that, we left to tour the park. At it was snowing that morning, many rides were closed so we sort of wasted our time there and took pictures instead. ...

Maki-San X Foodpanda

Literally rolled out of bed early for this Maki-San X FoodPanda event held at 112 Katong Maki-San's third outlet. Many thanks to Mich again for jio-ing me to this event since Paul could not make it  I've tried Maki-San once at their first Cathay outlet and I really enjoyed it and looked forward to rolling my own Makis at this event.  These days the trend is all about customization and insta-worthy food. Maki-San simply fulfill our need for novelty by allowing us to customize our very own makis with the toppings we like. Brown rice option is also available for the health conscious.  Really love the pretty and colorful packaging, which won several awards.  Even my friend brought home the boxes after eating > < Being early, we were the first to arrive at the event. We were given each a nice foodpanda apron to wear so that we will not dirty our clothes.    Mich is like a panda after suffering from insomnia last night ...

Mean Bean & Wicked Grind

After sending cousin off at Goldenmile for her coach to Kuala Lumpur, we decided to go check out Mean Bean & Wicked Grind cafe which is nearby, at The Plaza. From Goldenmile tower, The Plaza is straight up and around 10 minutes walk away. It is also just opposite Haji Lane which is quite accessible for us to go Bugis as we planned to watch a movie after checking out the cafe.  Upon reaching The Plaza, we were a little unsure if we were at the right place as it does not seem like where cafes normally should be. The reviews were accurate, this cafe is quite hard to find > <  All the stores there were mostly furniture stores or travel agencies, hence, we decided to check with the information desk. Much to our surprise, the counter staff knew almost immediately where we wanted to go and gave us directions that it is straight up inside. HOW ULU!  We finally found the cafe! It is quite a small cafe with only two tables inside and a few outside. But the deco...
