[new beginning]

I've officially moved over to my new place last Saturday so counting now, it's my 4th day in my new place. So far so good, some hiccups here and there but again, thankful for my dear friends around me... everyone keeps asking if I am settling in well.

pictures of my new place, will take more of the inside once it looks more settled and "homely"; the docklands view right outside my building which I love and walk past everyday

Really want to thank Ariel coz on Saturday (bless her) she drove down one hour from her place in the extreme west side of London to come help me move my stuff and also drove us to return our keys at our agent right by Tower Bridge as Jubilee was down (again). Alicia was free that day so she came over to keep me company too, so sweet of her. Her hubby Jianliang also helped me with 2 trips before rushing off to bring his family on their road trip. Made me feel so loved.

I think I was quite overwhelmed by everything that day and so I was quite glad when Wen asked me out for dinner. She brought me to her fav hangout Jap restaurant where it is really value for money Jap food. I ordered the Chef's Monthly Special and when it came in 5 bento boxes, I was quite shocked. They specialise in fresh tuna so every set would definitely come with tuna. Hence my dinner - deep fried scallops, fresh tuna sashimi salad (10 thick pcs no less!), tuna & cucumber sushi, veg salad, sweet potato salad. All these for GBP14.80 which I thought was very reasonable!

I think the dinner did me good, I felt much better after that. And then we both went Japan Centre and bought back Jap snacks and sweets (as usual).

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 ...
