Royal Tunbridge Wells

We had planned to go Stratford-Upon-Avon today but weather forecast for Stratford was heavy rain! bummer.. so May came by in the morning to look at our place, as well as discuss backup plans. Suggestions like shopping at some factory outlet came to mind and after calling her local friend, he suggested Ashford (more shopping) or Royal Tunbridge Wells (more sightseeing) both in Kent. We asked May to decide and she chose RTW so okay, off we go!
*gives the feeling of being very desperate to get out of London hor hehe*

Buying tickets at London Bridge station - look at the schedule!

Royal Tunbridge Wells is a small quaint town in the East of Kent, more of an English countryside town.


And guess what, it was raining in almost whole of UK so RTW wasn't spared either! sigh no choice, and we did a one round walking trip around the town. Boy was it cold! Houses here are very nice and we kept snapping pictures of houses everywhere we went! We saw a traditional town crier (so cute coz such an ancient thing) who was announcing a book fair (All ye! All ye!) and we asked to take a photo with him. He came to Spore before and told us some famous Indian restaurant at Mhd Sultan! whoa.. impressed.

Love the colourful doors

Typical houses in Royal Tunbridge Wells

In some garden

This old house is called Belleville (nice name! hehe)

Cute egg holders

We stopped at a Spanish restaurant for lunch which was a good break for our legs and to escape from the cold for a while before we continued.

Did a photo collage to summarise our walking tour :)
*you can click on photo to enlarge it, just like for any other photos*



Weather was a big dampener factor but we were glad we completed everything, and even had time to pop by La Senza to get a set of PJs each for me and May! yippee


Took train back to London in the evening and we had dinner back at Menier Choc Factory. This time May and I brought Cyn there and we were blown away by their popular brownie with vanilla ice cream. They even dusted their logo with cocoa powder. *slurp*


Signing off, 3 happy girls :)

Murder Mystery Dinner Party

Two Saturdays ago we were invited to the Kim's for a themed dinner, specifically a Murder Mystery dinner party.  What is that, you might ask.  It was our first time attending such a dinner too, and so how it works is: a group of people attend a dinner party.  Each is assigned a role and will be given a script to read that night.  The aim of the party is to identify a murderer in the midst of us by the end of the night.  The hosts would work off a dinner game set (they got it off Amazon) and it comes with proper invites, setting/ scene, table name cards, scripts and even a suggested menu.  Clearly RX is an Agatha Christie fan. Two weeks beforehand, we received our invites in the postbox, telling us what roles we each have been assigned and the suggested attire (and props if necessary).  Interesting yes? The dinner was to start at 7pm and we were to have 8 people that night.  It's all very mysterious… Our invitation cards assigned K the...

Cooking mee pok dry | bak chor and fishball noodles

When I touched down at Changi airport a few weeks ago, I was very hungry and K suggested grabbing a quick bite at the food court.  I immediately went for the queue at the bak chor (minced pork) noodles stall.  This one dish is very local and we simply can't find it here.  London's Chinatown has a few Malaysian restaurants with fried kway teow, chicken rice, laksa, etc but there is no authentic fishball noodles or minced pork noodles. When my friend Corinne shared this link last week, I was intrigued and I didn't know K was too.  He suggested going to the Asian supermarket on Sunday to get the necessary ingredients.  We found Dodo fishballs from Singapore here - what a win!  Unfortunately the mee pok (yellow, flat noodles) is of a darker shade here and tastes slightly different (maybe a different type of wheat?).  We found fishcakes too. http://delishar.com/2015/12/fishball-noodles-mee-pok-tah.html This is a healthier version of the hawker center'...

Our Seoul Adventure (Part 1)

Gosh life has been non-stop since coming back from Seoul.  Work has been very busy, and then Izzy had stomach flu and I was a bit under the weather too.  With this, one month just zoomed passed. Been meaning to continue our Seoul adventure. Day One To be honest we had a rocky start on the first day.  Our 2am flight was delayed till 3am and we were super groggy when we got on the plane.  Kids were sleeping and we had to wake them up.  The stewardess served us food at 4am and we had no appetite whatsoever.  Made worse by the turbulence which scared us so much.  I think in total we each slept about 4h that night.  So thankful that our kids love traveling and did not whine, but i did feel like i floated out of that plane into Incheon airport.  My original plan for Day One was to explore the palace area, have the famous ginseng chicken soup, and then visit the Bukchon hanok village.  Followed by a nice Korean BBQ for dinner.  The mo...
