Johor Bahru City Square: Despicable Me 3 + Tea Garden

Heading in to Johor Bahru (JB) again. I find myself travelling to JB frequently for the wide variety and affordable food. Whenever we have movies to watch, we will travel in to JB to catch a movie. This time round, we want to watch Despicable Me 3.

No idea what happen, the bus jammed close to 15 minutes while on the way to Singapore Custom. We waited until fed up so alight the bus and made our way by foot to Singapore Custom. So going in late might not always be a smooth sailing journey. Despite the jam earlier, we still managed to reach City Square just in time for the movie at 5.30pm.

Despicable Me 3 is the third installment of the movie series. 

Being fired by his new boss of the Anti-Villain League, Gru decides to take this free time and travel to Freedonia to meet his long-lost twin brother for the first time. They then join alliance to stop the evil plot of a former 1980s child star who seeks revenge against the world, Balthazar Bratt.

The mischievous Minions got themselves in trouble and sent to the prison. They manage to jail break and come over to help Gru to fight against Balthazar Bratt. 

The Minions are always so funny and cute. They never fail to create laughter. We have an enjoyable time watching the movie. 

Dinner was at Tea Garden Restaurant at level 6. We were getting a bit hungry by the time movie ended. Waiting for our food.

Super thirsty so we ordered Avocado Milk Shake to quench our thirst.

We have Crispy Golden Lava Bun that was simple and tasted nice. 

Decided to save my stomach for more food, I ordered something not too heavy for my dinner. Cheesy Toast with Mushroom Soup. 

Bf has Cheesy Grilled Rosemary Chicken Chop. The chicken soup was succulent and tasted good.

We spent RM49.30 for our meal at Tea Garden.

Right after that, we headed to the restoran beside Tea Garden to continue our second round of eating at Ho Seng Kee, 何成記.

Fried wanton, I like anything crispy and fried. You can hear the crunch in every bite.

Muar Otak Otak.

Don't really fancy this.

Abalone Wanton and Salmon Fish Wanton. I tried salmon one previously, this was my first time trying abalone wanton.  Salmon Fish Wanton is still the best among all, no other wanton can compare. One bite and you will taste the salmon filling in the juicy skin. The dumpling has added fragrance to the soup, making it tasty.

We were so full by the time we finished our second round which we spent RM38 here. The fulfilling dinner got us energetic for shopping.

Our buy at JB. 

I heard from my cousins earlier about Eureka popcorn so we bought some to try out. I got cereal + butter caramel, orginial, BBQ and caramel flavour popcorn.

I guess I won't be going back to JB for quite awhile because next time will be to Hong Kong. Stay tuned for more travelogues. 

Kelvin and Peina's Solemnization at TungLok Signatures

Hello July, a month that I look forward to.

A month that is filled with lots of activities for me starting from the first day of July.

Today marked a significant moment for my cousin, Kelvin, because it was his solemnization ceremony where he pledged his love to his wife-to-be and signed on the marriage certificate. The ceremony was held at TungLok Signatures @ The Central. Allen came to fetch us over to the venue.

The table was decorated with cute decor.

The ceremony was held at the outdoor private area which offers a scenery view of the Singapore River, creating a casual and relax ambience. 

Awaiting the groom and bride.

The setup was 90% done, left only the rings.

The groom was here doing last round of check.

My cousin looked so dashing that day.

The siblings were busy behind the scene, preparing the stuffs. 

Allen and Karen was looking at youtube tutorial video on how to tie the rings to the cushion.

The solemnization ceremony began with the presence of the solemnizer and 2 witnesses.

The solemnizer sought confirmation from the bride and groom to ensure they enter the marriage in their own free will. 

During the ceremony, the couple exchanged their wedding rings. 

The couple then exchanged their vows and signed on the marriage certificate.

It was a lovely afternoon witnessing their love vows and continuing their next journey together hand in hand. Now my cousin was off the market, another good catch gone.

It's a love story, baby just say yes.

I do.

Congratulations to Kelvin and Peina for being husband and wife now.

My cousin booked a private dining room in TungLok Signatures which can house 2 tables. I love the private dining area which allows us to have privacy. We were treated to a 7 course sumptuous lunch.

First up was Deep-fried prawn with wasabi mayo and salted egg yolk with fresh fruit.

The salted egg prawn was very appealing, leaving me wanting for more. The wasabi mayo prawn tasted great too, not too overwhelming but strong enough to give the kick.

Second dish was Braised shark fin with bamboo fungus and diced conpoy.

Sauteed scallop served with salad green in X.O chilli sauce.

The scallop has a mild spiciness in it

I loved steamed fish but don't like that it has many bones.

Crispy chicken with sesame seeds.

Not really a big fan of roasted chicken so I just took a piece. 

Glutinous rice.

Dessert is always what I'm looking forward to, chilled aloe vera lemon jelly toppled with green lime sorbet. The sweetness of the aloe vera matched well with the slightly sour sorbet.

Thanks cousin for inviting us for the ceremony and wonderful lunch. Congratulations on your new status and look forward to your wedding banquet in September.
