Weekend outing at Jewel, Changi + IMM Jurong East

Image
  Both Baby and I really miss Hong Kong Cuisine, so we re-visited the Hong Kong style  char chan teng  -  Tsui Wah  翠華  which is located  at  Jewel Changi Airport . We started our meal with  Borscht with Thick Toast,  and I really enjoyed dipping the toast in the soup. We also ordered the Pork Chop Burger and Luncheon Meat with Egg Sandwich ! We had a delightful experience and thanks Baby for the lovely meal! After our meal, we walked around the Jewel , and took some random photos against the exhibit of Disney100 ! Before leaving Jewel, we went for some tea at the Starbucks Reserve Coffee Bar ! This year's Chinese New Year’s Eve fell on a Saturday. As usual, the company that I work for closed office early for a half day holiday on Friday.  Both J, H and I decided to head down to  IMM, Jurong East   for some last-min CNY  shopping, and we went there to have our lunch too.   We settled our lunch at Wan ...

[random] More Jess Baby's happenings

I received a package - ' Grilled Mackerel'  by Ottogi , and I am glad that I was introduced to this microwavable grilled fish product which is easy to cook and has excellent quality! The company selected only quality graded   mackerels, brushed them with green tea and turmeric to get rid of the fishy smell, and seasoned them with salt to make sure they are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The grilled mackerel is a product that is enormously popular in Korea. It was prepared to be enjoyed by the elderly as well as children as 99% of the fish bones have been removed to prevent and avoid injury while eating.  This flavorful grilled mackerel is highly recommended to be served with rice. I had it with my pasta, and it goes well with gochujang hot pepper paste! I love it very much! Lastly, thanks  '0.8L Singapore'  for sending the grilled mackerel over! Happy weekend! Baby and I headed to  Tan Yu  探 鱼   for dinner, and we settled at the T...

[Fall Italy Vacation] Day 07: Cinque Terre via La Spezia - 2D1N at Vernazza

Image
Heading to La Spezia from Florence takes about a 3 hour journey. We left our huge luggage with a luggage storing service called ' Bounce Luggage Storage' upon reaching   La Spezia Centrale Station , and the cost for each luggage was approximately 5 euros per day.  We only packed the essential/necessary items we needed into our haversacks for a 2D1N trip to Cinque Terre ! The easiest way to get to Cinque Terre is to take the train from La Spezia  which connects us to any of the other train stations at the five magical villages in Cinque Terre . We booked a night's stay in an apartment at the village of Vernazza .  It is considered one of the most beautiful villages of Cinque Terre . Cinque Terre started as a collection of fishing villages, and now, it is one of the top travel destinations in Italy. It is known for its cliffside villas and endless hiking and walking paths. It maintains an authentic atmosphere, and it is the perfect vacation for hiking and re...
