Happy Chinese New Year!

My CNY this year was a pretty quiet one. As my grandfather passed away few months ago, we aren't supposed to participate in any form of celebration. & Tt goes the same for CNY too. So, the paternal side of my fam just had reunion dinner tgth. My Maternal side had a reunion dinner on the first day of CNY. My own fam decided to have a steamboat tgth as we have never done it before. It was fun tho. We invitied Sx, R & Tash's new bf, Ben, over for our steamboat dinner. We played games after & everyone had so much fun. Even my little furball had her own "steamboat". Haha i made her her own meal & she was super happy.

I hope everyone's cny celebrations have been going well. Here's to wishing everyone a 馬-verlous new year! (:

My grandma cooks the best meals, for real. I love her cooking best. She cooks all kinds of peranakan dishes & i grew up eating the meals she prepares. I love her Buah Keluah especially! 

We skyped w Sean (my older brother) & lo hei-ed w him & my grandma was so cute! She tried to feed him some through the iPad! Hahahaha.

Anja was so cute. She put her barbie cap on dd & tried to carry her. Hahaha. It was my first time bringing dd over.

 Visited daddy on the first day of CNY & i brought dd over to play w his dog, Yogi!

 A yearly, family tradition (:

Drunken cockles: $7.90

If you are a huge fan of garlic & chilli, you would love this delicious cold dish of cockles. The amount of garlic given it's like it's for free. Haha.

Pork belly: $8.90

I love how tender the Pork Belly was. & The sauce they came w it went so well.

Bamboo herbal prawn: $5.90

I grew up drinking soup so usually if i can, i must have soup in my meals. This herbal prawn soup was delicious. The prawns were fresh & huge. Very worth your money. It's not a big portion. 1 Person can finish it up all by himself.

Sweet & sour pork: (sorry i forgot the price)


I enjoyed every dish & loved how affordable the entire meal shared between 2 people was. The service is good & the food's good too! What's not to like!? No wonder my mum always dine at Pu Tien so often.

Wheeler's yard

Wheeler's Yard

 The beef burger: $14.90

Continental breakfast: $5.50

Wheeler's Yard is a bicycle shop cum cafe. I love the concept & how well put together the design of the cafe/bicycle shop is. It is pretty inconvenient to get to though. It is located in a warehouse. Despite the location, i love how high the ceilings are, & how airy their alfresco area is. Wheeler's Yard is a cool place to chill out at.

As for the food, truthfully speaking, i hated it. I didn't like the burger. The beef burger was chewy & however long i chewed, it took forever to swallow. The buns were the worst. It was slightly hard! & Ntm my damn fries. It felt like they either refried some left over fries or they took 30s to fry em because they were lazy or rushing? Idk man. My fries were SOGGY! Wtf seriously. Who serves soggy fries. It's such a major turn off. Also, their service was quite bad. My friend and i stood at the counter looking at the menu, the uncle & aunty standing behind the pass acted as if we were invisible. They didn't even offer to ask if we needed any help. The next time i visit Wheeler's Yard, i'll just be there to see the bicycles. So my impression of Wheeler's yard would be 'it's just another hippie cafe w lousy food'. Period.
