Happenings in December - MangoKing Thai Dessert + Opening Party at HANS IM GLÜCK + Christmas Decorations

Saturday 2/12/17

We went Marina Square today because I wanna try the set meal at Chic-a-boo Fried Chicken. As time was early, we strolled around Marina Square to buffer our time.


Decorations for Christmas were already up, reminding us that festive season is around the corner. The design was so cute that I stopped by to take more photos. 
I need to start shopping for Christmas gift soon.

This year Christmas theme was Pororo.
There was a pop-up store selling Pororo merchandise at the atrium.

Surrounded by the adorable penguins.

This was my second time to Chic-a-boo. 
The first time I was here, I only had cheese fries because I need to go home for dinner. So this time round, I wanted to try their set meal which was quite valuable.

We ordered the set meal that comes with a drink, muffin, 2 sides and 2 meat at $7.90. The fish was crispy on the outer and moist in the inner while the the chicken was juicy and the batter was crispy. The portion was more than enough for me with onion rings and curly fries added.

It's been a long time since we last went to Orchard, since there was no particular place that we want to go, we took this opportunity to go Orchard Road. Upon reaching, we kind of regret our choice because we forgot that it was Sunday and the place was packed with..........

The largest Christmas tree that I saw was at Ion.
It was a walk-in Christmas tree but nothing much inside. We came out within a minute.

MangoKing Thai Dessert has recently opened its door at ION Orchard basement 4.

We all know that Thailand is famous for their different variety of mango dessert, now we can try it here in Singapore. I have the opportunity to try  the mango drink, thanks Jackie for arranging.

You definitely will not miss this shop when you passed by basement 4, they can be easily identified by the strings of mangoes hanging and mango display around their shop.

MangoKing Thai Dessert is available in 2 sizes - large cup ($10.90) and regular cup ($8.90). Get the large cup if you are sharing the drinks. 

We were given the large cup where our cup was filled with mango juice and a layer of fresh cream, toppled with mango cubes.

The thickness of the mango juice was just right, it was refreshing and sweet, perfect drink to have for a hot day in Orchard. A spoon was also provided for us to eat the mango cubes.

The fresh mango cubes have a combination of sweet and sour ones, we finished the mango cubes and juice in no time.

Head down to Orchard to try it yourself.

Started my Monday with Party In The Woods at Hans Im Glück.

I attended the opening party of HANS IM GLÜCK which is situated at the heart of Orchard, it can be found next to the Thai Embassy and International Building. 

The party has already started by the time we reached and it was packed with crowds. We have a hard time squeezing our way through.

HANS IM GLÜCK originates from Germany that is known for their In The Woods inspired interiors and gourmet burgers.

GF joined me for the event too. Thanks for the photo.
Grabbed the opportunity to meet her before she gets busy next 2 months.

We have a glass of mojito to chill our night away.
With drinks and music, it's time to let our hair down and enjoy ourselves.

We had a bottle of gingle ale before we left the place.
The crowds was madness that we couldn't properly enjoyed during the opening, we left the place early. Would love to come back again to enjoy the full dining experience.

I have a girly dinner night with GF and Linda, the meetup was to celebrate Linda's belated birthday. It was a yearly affair to meet up during her birthday and a time for us to catch up with each other. We have our dinner at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe @ HarbourFront Centre.

I have creamy spaghetti with pork chop.
All 3 of us ordered something similar, the common similarity is pork chop.

We treated Linda to the dinner and also to pass her the birthday gifts. It was a nice catching up session where we seated in the cafe till we were the last few customers remained. I enjoyed meetup like that where quality time is well spent.

Thursday 7/12/17

We had our dinner at one of my regular hangout place, it was my second time here this week. 

We chanced upon this small eatery, Tai Lei Loi Kei 大利來記 at VivoCity B2, bringing us food from Macau. First was Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe, now is Tai Lei Loi Kei, it makes us miss Hong Kong and miss going vacation. 

I ordered Bouncy Noodles with Pork Chop.
It was simple and nice.

As it is a small eatery, seats are limited and you might be asked to share seats. It is exactly like the fast pace style in Hong Kong just less away the bad attitude of staff. There is no service charge as we made our own order at the counter and we paid $17.55 for our dinner.

Saturday 9/12/17

We went Tiong Shan Porridge Centre @ Chinatown for dinner, a place famous for their claypot dishes and Cantonese style porridge. I remembered when I was young, mummy would bring me here to eat the fish head claypot bee hoon whenever we came to Chinatown for shopping.

We ordered Sliced Fish Claypot Bee Hoon At $10, the portion was just nice for 2. 
The broth was infused with the flavours of the ingredients that make us couldn't sipping it. The bee hoon was thick and slippy. Still love the rich flavours of the broth.

Knowing that I never tried before Crocodile meat, bf ordered Gao Bao Crocodile claypot for me to try. Crocodile meat is not to my liking because the meat was super hard, it took a long while for me to finally chew it. Moreover it was expensive too, this dish alone costs us $22.

Sunday 10/12/17

We went Rochor Road to run some errands before heading to Bugis.

Bugis Junction embarked on an enchanted journey. The ballerina pirouetting atop a music box was placed at Bugis Atrium. It was pretty but the face of the ballerina looked scary.

Bf wanted to have this for dinner because he has never tried before. So we settled at Monster Curry for dinner.

I opt for Fried Shrimp Curry Rice.
Don't be scare by their big plate, the portion was just nice for one pax. The curry wasn't too spicy for us. The fried shrimps was crispy and tender.

This marks the end of my weekend, Christmas is 2 weeks away. 
Long weekend is coming.
