Curry Favor Japanese Kitchen

Curry Favor is doing something nice for certain in return for favors right?

2 of our dearest friends who are getting married, invited a few of us over for lunch last Sunday. It is for the discussion of their wedding preparation, assignment of duties, brainstorming etc. Guess what? They invited us to this place that is so well named for it! haha....

Curry Favor is at Stamford House. (walking distance from City Hall MRT)
Their website: http://www.curry-favor.com/



Yup, that is actually the table place mats.



We all ordered the set, where you have either a salad or miso soup. Most of us took the salad. It's very plain, but healthy right?



You can guess from the name of the place, what it serves best. We all ordered all the different type of Japanese curry. This is what I ate. Pork belly curry.



This is the veg curry. (I think its with chicken right? looks like it)



This looks like beef? I am not sure at all. haha...



This is the mushroom curry.



After eating the curry, its time to work. It was actually discussion throughout the whole lunch.



Sorry the pictures are all quite blur for today's posting. Place a bit dark.

The next time you want help from people, you know where to bring them.

For those who always ask about the price, errr.. not sure, it's paid for. LOL...
Now we can't wait for the wedding. It's going to be at Raffles Hotel and at the lawn. How nice yah, a garden wedding... Better save our angpow money now.

Ricciotti - Italian Deli and Pastry

Last nite, it was Tuesday night again, a bunch of it after our BSF meeting, went to have something to eat. Not ice cream like last week, but we went to have Italian Desserts. 9 of us, and ordered 8 desserts to share. I shall not show the other food we ordered, desserts will do. LOL...

This is the tiramisu. Oh so yummy... Sorry ah, hands blur, so pic not so clear.



I have no idea what's the name of the following few desserts. Forgive me. But its delicious!



The hands behind is impatient, wanting to eat it and can't wait for this lousy photographer whose taking his own sweet time. Great looking desserts?



Break this and inside there's chocolate flowing out.



This is pretty eh? With cinnamon stick and star anise.



That creme with banana inside, wrapped with choc! See the background thumbs up?



This is my favourite! It's I think vanilla creme below and the choc cup is fab!



And Creme Brulee.




It's fun to go out in a group and order things to share. We're cheapo, we came here because it was already late, and you know, after certain hours, prices are halved! All these desserts, each of us paid SGD3 only. That's 1.5 Euro, USD2, MYR6.80, AUD2.50, £1 (Nowadays have to convert, people always ask how much in their currencies) Worth it ya...

But come here during normal hours, its worth paying full price too. hehe...

Heng Hua Food: Pu Tian Restaurant - Part 1

The last time we went to have Heng Hua, it was with family. This time, colleagues said let's go. This was taken 2-3 weeks ago. This Heng Hua Restaurant is also called Pu Tien. But this is Pu Tien Restaurant, the prev one was Pu Tien Seafood Restaurant. This one is most people call the 'original' one. haha..

This shop is also located at Kitchener Road, a few doors away from another restaurant with an almost similar name. Add: 127-129 Kitchener Rd, Singapore 208514.

Here's the shop front of the shop. It's true this shop's food taste better :-) Taken across the road.



They even have something to tell you that they have been on TV and Radio.



The kiam chai that's on the table when we sit down. I usually like salted veg, but this one not really my taste. But colleagues love it though.



This is one of the starter dishes. Make a guess. This is bitter gourd. Thinly sliced and very very cold. It is served with honey on a saucer by the side.



冰浸苦瓜

Wait the next day for more pictures.

Ikea: Curry Chicken

Are you surprised? haha.. Yes, we do go to Ikea for lunch and love their daily meals. This is Curry Chicken from Ikea.



Anyone want to share their favourite curry chicken recipe?

ABC Market: Ondeh Ondeh

This is bought from ABC Market the same day we had quack quack duckie that day.

If you are in Singapore, the Channel 8 TV series that had Li Nanxing making ondeh ondeh will make you want to eat this too. haha..

Ondeh ondeh is green because the glutinous rice balls are mixed with Pandan leaves. (Screwpine leaves) It has gula melaka (palm sugar) inside that melts in your mouth! Its coated with desiccated coconut.



I had to hold it else the gula melaka will spill out.



I took another bite and had to quickly snap this with another hand. Arrghh the gula melaks is flowing out...



See you tomorrow :-)
