Jess Baby's random doings

Both chewy and I were pretty obsessed with stamp rallies lately, therefore we picked up the free Chinatown Singapore Stamp Rally booklet from the Chinatown Visitor Centre. There are a total of 11 checkpoint stations across the precinct to collect stamps and you can redeem a free souvenir postcard upon completion of the rally! On our first attempt, we managed to complete 6 stations, and we called it a day by having dinner at Jing Hua Restaurant which was suggested by Chewy as she had some discount vouchers. Our meal was pretty affordable, as I only paid less than SGD7. On another random weekend, Meryl joined us to complete our previously on-going stamp rally in Chinatown , and we stopped by Amacha and Starbucks along the way. Unfortunately, the Chinatown Visitor Centre closed early, so we couldn't collect our souvenir postcard, as it was already closed when we finished our drinks at Starbucks. We ended our date by having dinner at Shake Shack.  It’s been a long hiatus since I h...

[random] PastaMania + Yum Cha + SUKIN Micellar Cleansing Water (review)

Sunday Dim Sum Brunch is essential for us, and this time we visited the famous Dim Sum eatery place, Yum Cha which is located at the heart of Chinatown . Upon entering the premises, we were greeted by an extreme noisy atmosphere. It was a pretty authentic experience as the dim sum was served in pushcarts. The meal was very good, and my personal recommendations (must-have!) are the Steamed Spare Ribs, Phoenix Claw and Shrimp Beancurd Roll. We had a delightful meal, and the damage was about SGD60-ish. Thanks Baby for the weekend brunch treat! Sweetie and I met up with Linda to celebrate her belated birthday, and we settled for a dinner gathering at Xin Wang HK Café , which is located at HarbourFront Centre. Although we didn't have a lavish meal, we still enjoyed each other's company! We talked and shared about anything under the sun for the good 2 hour meet up! It has been a long hiatus since I had PastaMania , so I suggested going there fo...

They are  well-known for their quality dim sum, and they are whipping up 3 special items for Mother's Day! The items will be available from the 1st - 14th of May 2016 at both the Yum Cha Chinatown and Yum Cha Changi outlets.   A couple weeks ago, I was at  Yum Cha Chinatown  for a tasting preview on the upcoming special items on the Mother's Day. A big thanks to Tracy for extending her invite to me! The food concept for celebrating Mother's Day this year is to recreate memories for the customers, as well as invoke long-lost memories and nostalgic tastes of traditional Chinese dishes that mothers and grandmothers would remember from their hometowns.   The first special item was the  Braised Pork with ...

A day out with friends

We had a mini gathering with Hongwei, as to welcome him back to Singapore after his 1 year plus of training in Brunei. We went to Yum Cha, Chinatown for some Dim Sum fix.       We ordered quite a number of Dim Sum selections for our lunch such as Siew Mai, Xiao Long Bao, Prawn Fritters, Char Siew Chee Cheong Fun, Scallops in yam Ring and etc...   The damage was SGD65-ish, and it was pretty minimal cost for us as we paid like SGD16-ish per person. We enjoyed the food very much, and this makes the damage worth paying. Truly eaten, well spent!!   As Hongwei is craving for Cze Char even since he came back from Brunei, so we decided to fulfill his desire by doing a Cze Char fix for dinner...      We went to Lee Heng Restaurant which is located at Commonwealth Crescent , and I ordered my MUST-EAT item, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs whenever I visit this eatery place. Each piece of the delect...
