Two Saturdays ago..

Trying to recall back what we did two saturdays ago, mmm let's see, we moved our barang barang to our new place at Water Gardens in the morning. Great weather, thankfully! After settling our stuff and making our beds (took me almost 30min trying to lay everything) and when it was done.. ahh looks so comfy hehe love my new bedsheet and comfy pillows :) will def post pics of our apartment once we really unpack and settle down.

Our idea of al fresco dining
Which is having Macs at someone else's front stairs

Met Kwee Lin at Oxford Street, in the midst of her ultra massive shopping day coz she was wrapping up (and aspiring to spend her last GBP?!) before she goes back to Singapore. Can't believe it man, she was laden with bags when we met her, not to mention how crazy we went in Primark. We then walked down Piccadilly Circus, they wanted to go Lilywhites to get a pair of shoes whereas I walked to Fortnum & Masons to get the earl grey tea for my family.


That accomplished feeling.  Cynthia bought this huge bag which contained all her shopping.
Kwee Lin had no more hands to carry her down jacket lol


We met Grace for dinner at Mayflower again, yes I think this would be one of our most frequented Chinese restaurants here. They serve Chinese customers free desserts after their meals, preferential treatment keke which we welcome totally.

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'...

Memories made at Danson Park

I can't believe I still have readers to this dormant blog!  Thank you for coming back again :) In case you didn't know, our little family of four actually flew back to the UK together for the first time last November.  For me, I've been back twice with Izzy, and poor Gabriel kept asking when could he go back to London.  Finally K said we should take the trip together and also drive around northern France, our fav area to visit.  Well fav, in that it is very easy to get to from the UK and we have really grown to like the more rural parts of Brittany. I grabbed the chance to contact Joanne, who took some photos of the kids previously.  In fact I think she has seen my kids grow up, from taking Christmas photos to family photos. We were pressed for time and I had to do some convincing for K to agree to do this shoot... looking at the photos, glad i insisted on doing it.  More to document kids growing up well.. and us growing old  I plan to blog more about ...
