This week, my Love, Devona & me went to a lot of new places for dinner like I mentioned previously, we had run of idea for dining places. We went to the Otori Japanese Restuarant, that is famous for their paper pot steamboat, in Gillman Village on Tue(24/01). Gillman Village, formerly a British army barracks, is juz beside St.Andrew JC. This is e 1st time we went to tis place & wow! Wat a pleasant surprise! Tis place is almost like paradise in a country tat is mostly filled wif tall concrete bldgs! The place is surrounded by tropical forests; serene & very romantic at nite! Otori is nt e oni restaurant there, there is oso a chinese restaurant by e name of Grand Peony Court; Little Bali, tat we din really noe whether it is juz a drinking place or it oso serve meal, a seafood restaurant, a foodcourt & a really nice dining restaurant tat we will definitely go there one day! Hmm..let's talk abt Otori bah, e food is nice bt we were truely amazed by their service, really top class! Keep refillin' our green tea! Well, tis is definitely a restaurant tat I dun mind paying e service charge becos their service deserved it! Overall, Gillman Village is a nice place to dine if u wan privacy & stay away fr e noisy world! I'm nt sure if it will still be e same if it is on a fri bt tis place does offer a different kinda dining atmosphere! Do check out tis place ya! :)

We went to e Old Airport Road Hawker Centre to sample e famous Toa Payoh Rojak on Mon(23/01). Actually my Love, Devona wanted to eat e famous Bak Kut Teh bt it was a Mon, no pork means no Bak Kut Teh lor. The rojak really lives up to its reputation, e sauce is juz perfect! Is nt too sweet nor too saltish. The you char kueh is charcoal grilled before it is being mixed wif e other freshly prepared ingredients & of course e wonderful sauce! We oso ate e Otak Otak which at 40 cent a pcs is really gd value for money! U will noe it when u try it! We later separately ordered our own food. After we finished e above, I ordered Char Kuay Teow & she ordered Fish Meat Noodle Soup. The Char Kuay Teow is gd & tasty bt e Fish Meat Noodle Soup taste funny, which maybe tats e reason y I kana stomach upset e nxt day! Since is still early, we headed dwn to Siglap Coffee Club for coffee & tea before I sent her home. Overall, Old Airport Road Hawker Centre is a place filled wif many nice food at really budget price. So for couple wif limited budget, it is a nice place to dine if e main aim is to enjoy gd food at budget price! :)

We went to Chomp Chomp on Wed(25/01) for dinner. 1st time too! juz like Old Airport Road Hawker Centre. Tis place smaller though, compare to Old Airport Road Hawker Centre, pricer too! Bt there is more crowd which means parking is real prob! They actually opened another food centre nearby bt e crowd cannot be compared to Chomp Chomp. I ate Fish Ball Noodle & my Love, Devona had Char Kuey Teow & we shared e Fried Oyster Omelette, w/o Oyster! Yah! Fried Oyster Omelette w/o Oyster becos we both dun eat Oyster bt we juz wan to eat Fried Oyster Omelette tats all, haha! The food at Chomp Chomp is actually quite ok if u dun mind spending a bit of time getting a place to sit becos it will be difficult. If u r drivin' & u dun mind e long wait to get a place to park, tis area is actually a nice place to dine becos there r oso many other choices in tis area. We went to e Liquid Kitchen for a drink after e dinner, non-alcoholic though. One regret is tat they dun hv e dessert tat we wanted to eat.

On Thu(26/01), we went to Chinatown to get Chinese New Year goodies for both our family becos is e 1st time tat we bring our partners to see our family for both of us! So officially, we r both 1st bf & gf officially announced to both our family members! Is really BIG event for e both of us & we r very nervous & we both wan to make sure we did a gd job, to leave a gd impression for both our family..so nervous ah!

We had our lunch at the Maxwell Food Centre, I ordered e Cai Dao Kueh becos it looked nice, taste nice bt nt really tat fantastic. Wanted to order e Fish Meat Noodle bt e queue was incredible! I had it once, really nice bt becos of e queue, nxt time bah..haiz! My Love, Devona ordered e Chicken Rice. Let me had a taste of e rice..well I like Chicken Rice..uh..rice oni, haha! She oso bought e Tapioca Kueh which is very soft! Really gd! I usually dun eat so many at one go bt I actually ate 6 pcs! If I remember correctly!

After we had finished our shoppin' & makan, we catched e evening show of "Hou Yuan Jia - The Fearless", e supposingly last movie by Jet Lee at Suntec City. It was based on a real story & it was really touching! Nt really wat I had expected bt e fighting was nice! Fr e movie, it tried to convey a message tat violence is Not e way to solve problem & we dun learn martial art to fight bt instead, to stop fight, stop war. I believe for most of us, we r always tinkin' of beating who who in study, work & others etc. Bt e really enemy is fr within, is ourself! We sh instead focus on hw to improve oneself, knowing oneself more becos most pple dun even noe themself well enough, including me..
