Happenings in November - Paradise Dynasty + Johor Bahru SDS Cafe + Equilibrium + Olive Vine

Tuesday 7/11/17

Feel the stress coming, exam is coming in exactly one week time and I am still not confident for the paper. Adding to my stress was also my work. My everyday routine is work, eat, study and sleep. Lunch and dinner is the time where I seek refuge from all the stress bothering me.

Today's lunch was at one of our regular dining place, Astons. As my exams are coming, I tried to cut down on eating fried food to prevent myself from getting heaty. I ordered spaghetti for my lunch instead of my usual choice, chicken chop and onion rings.

When order spaghetti, it will come with a fixed side dish of mushroom soup and garlic bread, my all time favourite soup.

I ordered Salmon spaghetti. It comes with generous portion of salmon that were well soaked in the gravy. I love it very much.

I took a break from my revision and went Vivo City for dinner. Everywhere was so packed with people at Vivo because of Navy@Vivo going on. It was hard to find a place for dinner so we settled for Hong Kong Kim Gary Restaurant which has one of the shortest queue.

We ordered a cup of mango mosaic with pomelo drink for sharing at $6. We enjoyed the fruity sweetness.

I have seafood spaghetti with cream sauce. This dish was not to my liking, the taste started to get jelat after eating a few mouthful. 

Friday 17/11/17 

Hurray, I have finished my last paper and marked the start of my 2 months school holiday. I went back home after my paper ended at 12pm to rest before heading out to reward myself for a good meal.

We went Paradise Dynasty for a tea break at about 5pm. The outlet at Vivo City allows us to be treated to the beautiful sea view, too bad I wasn't sitting near the window.

We ordered 8 pieces mix flavour xiao long bao and 10 pieces original xiao long bao.
The best way to reward ourselves after hard work is to fill our tummy with delicious indulgence. 

Crispy spring roll.
A mixture of sauce and vegetables were wrapped in a thin crispy roll, suitable for all ages.

Lotus egg salted egg bun.

The meal left us feeling really full till we have no room for dinner. We walked around the mall while digesting the food.

Christmas is just another month away, are you starting to feel the atmosphere with all the decor up?
Are you guys already planning on what to do for the festive season, the long weekend is coming.

I'm starting to love white top because it can easily match and mix with any colours. I am going to invest more in white and other colours rather than my favourite black. I have enough of black in my wardrobe.

We were not feeling hungry to have a full dinner so the 2 of us shared on crazy potato set meal at Long John Silver before heading home.

Saturday 18/11/17

Finally I can enjoy my weekend. The first place that I want to visit after school holiday began was Johor Bahru (JB). It has been more than a month since I last went in. I want to go in for dinner and dessert as well as shopping for thicker jacket to bring for my upcoming Taiwan trip.

Since our RM was running out, we changed our currency at JB Sentral at the rate S$1 : RM3.05.


We went to basement to check out the dining place and we settled on S.D.S Cafe.
S.D.S Group also has a bakery just located besides the cafe, you can drop by to buy their bread too.

SDS is well-recognized in Johor region for its quality confectionery products valuable for money. They served a wide array of items that includes cakes, western food, local food, casual dining and beverages.


We didn't have bubble tea today so we got Iced Honey Lemon (RM6.51++) instead.
The sour lemon has been compromised by the sweet honey, making the drink refreshing.

I had Grilled Chicken Chop with Mushroom Sauce (RM15++).
This is one of the most delicious chicken chop I ever have.  The seasoning and sauce made it so tasty especially when served piping hot.

We had a very satisfying dinner which cost RM58. Proceeding for dessert next.

We have a slice of cheesecake from Secret Recipe.

After satisfying our tummies, we were ready for shopping. I gotten myself a Blocktech Hoodie from Uniqlo. I have a hard time choosing the colour between black, pink or white. In the end I settled for the white. 

We have  Horlicks McFlurry (RM5.99) at McDonald after we were done shopping. I wanted to try this because this flavour is not available in Singapore. It tasted delicious too. 

Wednesday 22/11/17

It has been awhile since I last had Just Acia. It was once a dining place that I visited regularly because I love their free flow of drinks and ice cream served. It has been 5 months since I last visited Just Acia and I miss the taro ice cream, We visited Just Acia again to satisfy my cravings.


I ordered Spaghetti Aglio at $9.20+.

Having the cup of ice cream was simply so enjoyable, I have 2 rounds of ice cream before my cravings was satisfied.

Thursday 23/11/17

We patronized Equilibrium Capitol Piazza for lunch again since it has been awhile since we last visit. However, we found that the price for lunch set has increased by $2 to $15.90++. No wonder they did not display the lunch set price board at the outdoor now.

The set lunch comes with an appetizer. I only like the bread and cheese.

I have Risotto for my main course. The Riscotto was toppled with parmesan cheese and sausage. The taste was not too bad but could get very gelat after awhile.

Friday 24/11/17

Yeah, it's Friday. After our dinner, we went to nearby shopping mall for a walk since time was still early to call it a day.

We were cravings for bubble tea so we got a cup of bubble milk tea at LiHO. We got the bubble milk tea at $2 because they were having promotion for this flavour.

The main reason why we came out is to have the Mango Ice Cream French Toast from Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe. There was a promotion going on as well and we paid only $1.40 for the ice cream toast. So worth it right?

The toast was warm and together with the mango ice cream, the hot and cold combination was incredibly good.

Saturday 25/11/17

We left home pretty late today at about 4 plus because Robbie came over for a visit. It was my first time seeing Robbie, sorry that I missed your one month celebration.

We went over to Suntec City and this cute bear caught my attention. It reminds us that Christmas is approaching in exactly a month away. Have you start shopping for gifts?

While walking to Marina Square for dinner, we chanced upon Olive Vine Pasta Fusion and decided to try it out. I love this place because the price charged was wallet friendly and no service charge will be incurred.

I have creamy spaghetti with fish fillet. It was delicious and I cleared every bits of it.

We ended the dinner with a chocolate cake.
We have a satisfied dinner at $27.80 for 2 pax.

We ended our night with a mango cream puff from Chateraise. The filling was so smooth and not too sweet, just heavenly delicious. I always love their cream puff.
