Perth Dining

Finest Seafood
Kaills' fish market cafe- Locates right of the waterfront at FREMANTLE'S FAMOUS FISHING BOAT HARBOUR, selling the finest SEAFOOD! a breathtaking paradise creates memorable dining experience...
 
Chinese Dining in Chinatown
GOOD ONE- selling the best roasted goose in town,within an hour sold 6 goose,business just so good!
 
Luk Fook n Ah Mao- sell nice nice chinese foodies, esp ah mao! Most of his dishes just so healthy, my fav dishes from ah mao are pan fried salted fish-pork cake, steam snow crab with egg white, stir-fried noodles n so on...
 

Yú- chinese restaurant at burswood, selling lousy n ex chinese foodies.... average service too...
 
Turkish foodies
gosshhhhhh, m simply fall for the kebab in perth... the chicken just so juicy n tender, very muchhhhh better than SG...

our trip at Ho Chin Minh City

staying in Caravelle hotel, 19 Lam Son Square, D1. n  Park Hyatt Saigon, 2 Lam Son Square, D1. District 1 in HCM = our Singapore ORCHARD ROAD. Luxury brands n nice foodies are at D1. of cox branded in HCM are more expensive than SG, so why shop here ;p heard that the people aren't as friendly as before, reason? when a country brings in much luxury brands, people will tends to be greedy...

OUR MEALS at D1

K Cafe (Japanese cuisine)

king prawn tempura (too tough, flour they used just like baking/ corn flour! Don't know if m choosy, but think about it, frying tempura with "SUCH FLOUR" will taste good?)

fried octopus (nice! KCF flour they used to fry, is never wrong on seafood)

gyoza(room to improve)

their cooked foodies isnt great at all, neither we wanna try the sushi nor sashimi. then again, there are many Jap customers.

KFC

chicken too dry...(kfc in shanghai still my fav)

Pho 24

broken rice with pork chop (great choice, but daytime chef seem better than night time chef)

fried spring roll with butter lettuces (wonderful)

pork patty (taste like fish cake, not nice)

 

fish cake (not too bad)

 

chicken n beef pho (so nice, m not sick n eating it everyday!)

 

beef balls pho (not so nice)

 

lemongrass restaurant

average foodies, only fried noodles with chicken is nice, price is too EX, not WORTH!!! m simply don't understand why still many people find the foodies is great...

Ben Thanh market

n love the foodie here, so nice! guess most of the store are selling nice nice foodie! esp they big prawn noodles...so hot n nice! yummy yummy! their grill prawn paste in sugar can is jus so great ;p

my mumbai video

my mumbai trip

Day 1

When we reached Mumbai was late evening (11+pm, Mumbai time) everyone was so awake n energetic, the night seem still young… meaning? Hahaha… they simply love to "hang out", stand n sit at the roadside chatting, gathering n stoning… along the way to hotel, could see many POORS… they (whole family) sleep under the bridges, roadside, broken house, self made "tents" N rubbish area… after seeing them, look at myself, n Singaporean… we are really damn fortunate! We should learn to treasure N cherish ourselves, family, people n everything around us…

Day 2

I like the environment where I stayed… thou m woke up early, but slept very well… went sight seeing N some shopping after nice nice breakfast… had a beautiful chicken tandoori pizza (can't find such nice pizza in SG, they good in making pizza dough ;p) at trident hotel, bought a nice nice kurti n saree from Dia n Paaneri (both shops sell very nice sarees, especially wedding sarees, they do MTM blouse N free delivery to your hotel.) cool huh? J You can find your matching petticoat along the roadside of the two shops, range from 50-200 Rupees. Everything so far so good, beside the stupid driver… m find him to realistic (after rejecting him from going those shop he recommended, we could see his true colour… only when SR paid him at the end of the day + 500 Rupees of tips, then we can his 2^ND STUPID FAKEY SMILE!) The moment m knew SR tips him, was so furious, and had nagged at SR! But come to think deeper, good people will have good deed; tomorrow will have a better day n meet a better driver…

Day 3

Had a wonderful day… everything was so great J indeed good people will have good deed!!! Met a good driver N brought us to a few places, we bought quite a bit *wink*

• Colaba Causeway- most of the things at the roadside selling at 250 Rupees (had bargain to 50-150Rupees)
• Fendi- 5 Natasha shopping centre, 52 hill road- a reject shop, selling branded; GA, Polo, DKNY, CK n so on... (Fixed price, from 250-2000+ Rupees)
• Crawford market- bought 3 dozes of Alphonso mangoes, a dozen is for the driver. He was so happy. (1 dozen of mangoes cost 450-500 Rupees)
• Inorbit Mall- fabindia, level 2 sell nice nice shawls (great materials, reasonable price) n kurti.
• ITC Hotel- (multi cuisine kebabs & kurries) had a wonderful lunch n dessert J rather costly.

Day 4

My rest day… SR starts work, m busy blogging, watching tvb drama, treatment my hair, doing mask, napping n lazing… hehehe… thinking n thinking should dine out or dine in, after a day work + 2 days of shopping, m think SR must be tired… had decided to order room service N enjoy long bath. They served good n delicious foodies, if foodie isn't in the menu, u may ask for it… that's something I like about Westin J my saree had delivered in the late evening. Mumbai really has good tailor, he sew my saree's blouse so well… I love it !

Day 5

Woke up 530am, Mumbai is really a busy country… duno why they are so busy… busy from day to night, n night to day…at every moment, at any moment… do u know why people say Mumbai stink? Because they weewee anywhere as they like, n they think like D, hahaha…. Meaning? Let the dog's urine to evaporate… STINKKKKK!!! What a joke D had cracked! When m smell the stinky weewee smell along the road, m thot of that STUPID D! seem she had returned her basic knowledge back to her teacher!

Mumbai is an interesting country… everyone was surprised gal like m will go such place! Well, beside "colours" we are same, we eat, sleep, inhale n exhale the same air, sharing the same sun, stars n moon, we work (life in India is definitely tougher than life in SG), we date, n so on...

It's a place with full of dust (layers n layers of dust everywhere), rocks (can find them anywhere, be it small or big), mosquitoes (from stale water) n honks (used to honking people, cars n for FUN)

Well thou there are still many negatives… but time for us to look at their positives action! There are many hardworking people around too, thou just earning very little every month, but least they earn with their own pair of hands! They seldom reject people, will try to do to match when we requested!

2nd good friday

how did u, guys spend your good friday? what about m? m spend my 2nd good friday with SR at SH... thou is spring but yet colddd... had found interesting foodie while roaming alone ;p coolz ya? roaming alone when oversea was exciting, thrilling, fun n worried(afraid to lost my way...) some people think that shopping or go oversea along is boring... but not m! ;p poor SR went 2 solid days shopping with m... n every night after work, still brought m out for nice nice dinner... must be tired. 

as usual, my crazy shopping N enjoying nice nice foodies... had bought SGD 1k+ of b** from wacol, only SH sell the type that m wanna... thot its troublesome + X, but m think its worth! ;p woman will always have full of excuse to buy THINGS! hehehe... well this is woman's privilege N is also our forte... so lucky to be a woman!

princess went jap for 2 weeks...dunno why m dun miss her... strangeee... if she knows, sure screammmm... ;p well, maybe because she went honeymoon, therefor didn't wanna disturb her... n m sure she will be well take care by cal. anyway she will be back this sat... cant wait to fetch her! thou we often fight n have tons of disagreements, but we are still very close! no one can separate us apart!

m back from hk

do u notice that songs in my blog had changed? yeah... mostly are canto N chinese..., no particular reason ;) 

hows my hk N macao trip? "GREAT, WONDERFUL, LOVELY, INTERESTING!" eat N shop till DROPPPP **WINK** as usual, no choice, as SR is dating a shopaholic "me" hehehehe... bought 20 over pair of shoes + many many AX tops ;) 

we've nearly missed our flight back... had over looked on our boarding time... this time not shopping, but enjoying our lunch at the airport... ran like crazy to catch the flight... whoooo... what a breathless noon...

 

staying in Venetian, room is beautiful, but service was suckzzz..+ too many china tourists N china staffs, they are simply rude N horrible... then again, THE MAGIC OF ZAİA was great :) m love it!

my 1st trip in 2010

on the 1st DEC, SR whispered on my ear, saying that she has a SURPRISED for m on my Bday! mmm... m dislike nor allow my love ones to celebrate my Bday since m was 26! for some strange reasons, early this year, m had learnt to accept e fact that m no longer YOUNG! well everyone gets older as days past, NO? m ready to celebrate my Bday with my love ones. (its "ones" NOT "one" :p ones = Family, SR N good pals)

 

interested what's surprise  she gonna give m??? but thot its a surprise, how come she tell m now??? hehehe... simply as that m  a lady whom HATE surprises, she has no choice, but to tell m after she had prepared everything N also afraid to crash with my schedule.... she's is bringing to somewhere, where m longing to go.... make a guess where is it? neither Japan nor Europe "well, m just a simple lady, m get contented easily at time.." ;p SR is bring m to HK N macau! hahaha. yes is HK where m very much wanna return again, remember, m a foodie lover??? m miss every single foodie in HK.. especially the Tim Sum and Curry Fishballs! m love the snack from Macau too :) goshhh... talking about foodies, m feel so excited N drooling!!! "don't you think this trip doesn't come on the right time? hahaha...yeahhh... indeed, its a wrong time to go HK during my Bday" but U think if m CARE!, when there's a will, there's a way. no worry, m will still watch m diet ;p hopefully m can hehehe..

when m broke the news to crabi, her respond was... What a place to celebrate Bday??? guess U, guys will also have such respond, same as crabi, after knowing m go HK to celebrate m Bday, NO?

m thots- where to celebrate Bday, V day, anniversary, Xmas aren't important,. to be said clearly, the most important is the ones whom u gonna spent your moment with, agree?

 

on the same night, SR has also booked July tickets to HK "family trip" m certain that 5 of us gonna have a great wonderful time again :)
