Counting down, another week to go before my Bangkok trip. Looking forward to it. It was a very impromptu decision to visit Bangkok, we only decided it 2 weeks before the trip so the air ticket paid was a steep price. So my mission today is to change our currency and plan our itinerary.
After we got our currency changed, we lazed around at Marina Square Kopitiam to plan our itinerary. There were plenty seats over there.
Time for dinner after everything settled, got our dinner from the Japanese stall at Kopitiam. Simple and delightful.
We then went over to Raffles City to locate the Tsum Tsum display. Each CapitaLand malls have different Tsum Tsum display, seeing the adorable Disney Tsum Tsum characters cheered me up.
With the adorable Disney Tsum Tsum characters and my favourite pooh bear was there.
How I wish I could bring all of them home.

Headed down to Bugis to settle some stuffs for our trip.
Since I didn't have a full lunch earlier on, we went for some cakes before heading home.
We went Fish & Co. at Bugis+ to laze around and have a piece of cake each to our own.
Red velvet cake.
The restaurant has a peaceful environment that makes it a great place for a relaxing chill out for a meal.
Found another Disney Tsum Tsum display at Bugis Junction.
Wearing a black shirt dress out, it gave a feel of smart casual. Too long to be consider a shirt and too short for a dress. I love the low cut boots very much, it is fashionable and comfortable. It is the pair of boots that could take me miles away.
Just came back from Bangkok yesterday evening and feeling so sian today. How I wish the holiday can be longer. No time to rest, have to earn back the money for the next trip.
Reward myself for a good lunch. We traveled down to Plaza Singapura for lunch at Manna Story.
With the trend of K-Wave flowing to Singapore, it brings many Korean food here too. Manna Story is the place to go to get our Korean food fix, they have a wide selection of authentic Korean dishes.
This week is a short working week for everyone as tomorrow is Good Friday. Yay to the long weekend. Lunch has always been a lavish affair for our lunch kaki group. Today we went Liang Court for lunch.

I have the bowl of spicy pork for lunch. The bowl contained generous portion of pork which added flavour to the soup, which make it appetiting and aromatic. I enjoyed every bits of it, especially the pieces of pork.
A nice meal to keep me going and endure the week.

We went to our frequently visit restaurant in Liang Court at Yayoi, a Japanese teishoku restaurant. Teishoku means all side dishes are served together in a set.
I have sliced pork in ginger sauce rice set. The set comes with a soup, salad and tofu.
The sliced pork was blended with the ginger sauce and the flavour was well-mix, even the bean sprout was equally tasty too. Normally I don't eat bean sprout because I don't really like the taste. But this dish was exception, I finished everything. So nice.

Suffering from post Bangkok travel syndrome, we decided to relieve our experience in Bangkok by visiting Artbox Singapore. It was raining very heavily the entire afternoon, I was glad the rain has stopped so we dropped by to visit.
It was a horrible experience at the Artbox, I underestimated the madness of crowds that turned up.
I think the number of people that turned up is more than the number of people that visited Chinatown during CNY eve.
Practically we were being squeezed by people, there was no way you can stop to take a good look at the stalls available. I was fed up after 5 minutes of squeezing so we just left. There were elderly and children in the crowds, so worried for them. It's good to bring your family out for family bonding but not to Artbox, it is a hazard place.
I just wanna leave this place. We then went over to Marina Square to have some light bites at Beyond Pancakes. Though we were at Beyond Pancakes, we didn't order any pancake. Lol.
Having our favourite drink, avocado yogurt milkshake.
Double cheesy fries for sharing.
Straight cut potato fries baked twice with mozzarella and cheddar cheese served with chilli flakes. I felt so shagged that night, need to eat supper to replenish my energy loss.

Finally it's TGIF, I welcome my weekend with a dinner and movie date. We have been wanting to watch Boss Baby since it started showing, so we went Golden Village @ Plaza Singapura as I have a $10 capitaland voucher to utilize. After purchasing the ticket, we settled our dinner at The Manhattan FISH MARKET.
We have fish & chips for our dinner.
The dory fish was crispy on the outer and moist on the inner. The cheese and mayo sauce help to blend the oiliness of the fish so it did not leave much of a greasy feel after eating. Just nice for Boss Baby's movie after our meal.

Hurray, it's TGIF and also last Friday of the month. I have spent my day eating the good food starting from lunch. We had lunch at Chinatown Complex hawker centre which house many renowned local favourites comfort food.
I ordered omelette chicken rice at $4 from the Thai stall. I missed having omelette ever since I came back from Bangkok.
The omelette was fluffy and delicious, I finished all of it. The portion was generous too.
Initially I thought the soup was just some normal soup. It turned out to be tom yam soup that has a strong spice flavour in it. Clear soup is always the spiciest.
We ordered xiao long bao for sharing, $6 for 10 pieces. The xiao long bao was juicy good, we queued quite long for this. I love it when the dumpling burst open with the broth in my mouth. It tasted so good.
Mango sago to end off our lunch.
It was a short but quality time spent together.
The 2 late queens.
Meet up with the poly peers for dinner, it has been a year since we last met. Grace has called for this meetup to find out about the recent updates of everyone. CL has recommended Ramen Keisuke Tori King @ 100 AM mall. We were there and managed to secure our seat without waiting.
I have ice green tea to go with my meal.
My pick: TORI KING Ramen Special (Clear Soup)(All Toppings).
What makes Tori King Ramen so special is their broth which is made from ingredients such as chicken bones, chicken feet, Japanese seaweed and an assortment of vegetables boiled for eight hours. It is infused with all the individually essential flavours. I love the generous chicken thigh that comes with the ramen.
Feeling super full until we have no space for dessert, we decided to take a little break by walking around the mall so that we can digest the food faster.
After resting, we proceeded to dessert shop next.
Tsujiri is a nice place to chill out with friends over their Matcha And Houjicha dessert and drinks.
Dessert makes a perfect ending to our dinner.
We have matcha Tsujiri parfait and matcha latte for sharing among 5 of us.
The bitterness of the matcha can be tasted from the soft serve parfait. Perfect for those who prefer a lesser sweet dessert.
Because Grace wanted to try the shaved ice right from the start but stopped by us, we decided to give it a chance and tried the sunrise shaved ice in the end.
Me and Steffi.
We were all shocked to see the giant size of shaved ice in front of us. We helped ourselves with the fluffy shaved ice that was sweet at the top and bitter at the green portion. I like how they added red beans inside the shaved ice, it added sweetness to the bitter matcha. Lovely combination.
It was a lovely gathering with the peers.
Though we have not meet for a year, our relationship still remain strong and no awkwardness among us. Hope our next meetup is not one year later, see you guys soon again.
