The Gem Museum is Singapore's first and most comprehensive private gem museum to the public which was first founded in 2015. It aims to become the international platform that bridges the gemstone industry and the rest of the world.   The Gem Museum presented 'The Lost World of Terranova' themed gemstone exhibition in celebration of  Singapore's Night Festival's 11th Anniversary .     In the World of Terranova, there are hidden gems buried within the various terrains - 'Mystical Meteo', 'Crystal Mountain', 'Pearly River' and 'Fantasy Garden'.     The first terrain was 'Mystical Meteo' .

Thai Goldmine Kitchen first started operations in 2015 as a hawker stall in HarbourFront Centre's food court, 'Tuckshop'. They offer authentic yet affordable delicious Thai dishes which are suitable for casual dining and group gatherings. 2 years later, they opened their first eatery place in Kitchener Road . There is neither a service charge nor a GST charge, hence prices are rather friendly to one's pockets! The chefs come from different parts of Thailand, and they bring in their own interpretation of authentic Thai food. Recently, they have offered Singapore's biggest and hottest Thai hotpot, the aptly named 'Jumbo Goldmine Hotpot'. It is available in 4 different versions/editions with 4 challenging spicy levels - 1,2,3 and 10!  Jumbo Goldmine (Pork version) SGD38 Jumbo Goldmine (Seafood version) SGD58 Jumbo Goldmine (Mixed Seafood + Pork version) SGD68 Jumbo Goldmine (Mixed Seafood + Pork with Lobster version) SGD88

Due to loss of car, we didn't have any weekend Dim Sum brunch since then.   We decided to re-visit ' Victor's Kitchen ', a popula
