[Foodie] Tai Lei Loi Kei SG @ Nex

Hihi Readers!!!

A walk in Nex brought my friend and I to this place called Tai Lei Loi Kei (澳门大利来记). The original shop is located in Macau, and it's pretty popular in Macau.

Basically you have to order at the counter, and they will give you a receipt with a number on it. When the number flashes on the screen, you can walk over to pick up your food.

We decided to try out the following :-

Signature Pork Chop Bun (S$6.90)

Upgrade it to Set A, consisting of a Drink and a Sawdust Cake (S$3.00)

Pork Chop Bun: It's a very straightforward bun with just the bun and porkchop. What I liked about the bun is the bun is crispy and hot when served. However, I find that it's rather dry. So it's a must to order a drink.

Sawdust Cake: I have never tried a Sawdust Cake until this day. One point that surprised me was that the cake was not cold, although the plastic container is cold. I didn't like the sawdust cake tho, it doesn't have a taste plus the texture was... weird...

Bouncy Noodles with Pork Chop (S$7.90)

This is like a mee kia with maggie mee sauce. Nothing much to wow about.

On the tray, there is a "origin and history" of how Tai Lei Lok Kei came about, you may read while waiting for your food.

Food are pretty subjective. I may not like it, but well, you may enjoy it... So if you would like to try here's the contact details...

[Foodie] Pasarbella @ Turf Club Road

Hihi Readers!!!

For those who have read my previous post would have known that I went to Europe before. So imagine the excitment when I heard of this place that resembles the London Market I had been to.

As it's located in Turf Club Road, going that maybe a little bit of a hassle, so I convinced a friend to visit this place with me and at the same to hitch a ride :)

There were many many stalls inside Pasarbella, from European food to Japanese Food to Pastries.... etc. Since I missed my time in London, I decided to try out their mixed seafood rice at Stall 27, called Portico.

Paella - Seafood (S$13.50)

It was interesting and it reminded me of the times when I was in London. oh... how I missed London!

After trying this, we decided to try out the Japanese food.

After finishing the food, we walking around Pasarbella. Here are some of the stalls. It's pretty interesting.

Some of the stalls are selling coffee beans, fruits, vegetables and ice cream... Yumz...

There are some stalls selling non-food items.

Oh my! There's even a TV place to keep children entertained. So cool!

As I was walking around, I can't help but think that this place will make a awesome place for outdoor pre-wedding photoshoot. Just look at those pretty layout...

Some interesting signs...

It's a really nice place with awesome and interesting decorations. It's a pity that due to the location, it could be quite challenging to attract crowd. But this is a place worth visiting!

[Foodie] East Ocean Teochew Restaurant @ Ngee Ann City

Hello Readers!!!

I was here actually on the week before Father's Day. It was super packed! Tho we reserved a table, but we had to wait around 30 mins for them to prepare the table. Zzzzz... But can't really blamed them, looked at the crowd outside their restaurant!

We were presented with the order sheets while standing outside. Here's a glimpse of the order sheets if you are curious...

We walked around outside the outlet, and saw this really cutie pastries from East Ocean.... and no, we didn't buy any...

Anyhows, we were brought to our table, and we quickly ordered some of the dimsum having already decided while standing outside. So once we had our table, we hand over our orders to the waitress. We didn't have to wait for the food. Some of the dim sum that we ordered...

The dim sum are delicious. I love their custard bun, I took a picture of the custard oozing out of the bun... yumz.....

I will definitely visit again, but maybe not during the weekends or festive periods when the crowd is at its peak.

[Travel] Shen Zhen - One day F&E

Hi there Readers!!!

I was in Hong Kong a couple of weeks back and decided to visit Shen Zhen for a day. Here's my experience...

Travelling from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen
Travelling to Shen Zhen was fairly easy. Simply take MTR to Lo Wu Station. It's at the end of the blue line.

You can view the MTR map here:
http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/getting_around/system_map.html

The MTR was not crowded when we decided to go on a Thursday. We were glad we had seats during the long journey to Lo Wu Station. Upon reaching, just follow the signs, if you are not sure, then follow the crowd =D You won't go wrong, trust me.

We cleared the custom and was "greeted" by the large crowd gathering just outside Shen Zhen Custom. Please remember to be mindful of your personal belongings as I heard about pick-pocketing.

Laojie (老街) Station

We decided to take a train from Luo Hu (罗湖) Station to Laojie (老街) Station, and it's only 2 stops away. The ticket cost ¥5 per trip.

Surprisingly, their train looked better than I imagined. Of course, the people there talk quite loudly. Haha... can't say I'm surprise by that.

We reached Laojie Station within 5 minutes. Fast right?

金世界地铁商场
We walked towards the Jing Shi Jie Underground Bazzar (金世界地铁商场), followed the signs, and exit towards Dong Men Pedestrian Street (东门步行街). You can also shop at their underground bazzar...

Dong Men Pedestrian Street (东门步行街)

After taking an escalator up from 金世界地铁商场, we found ourselves at  Dong Men Pedestrian Street (东门步行街). This is the street that has lotsa of clothes, accessories... We spent the bulk of our time wondering around this Street. Not a bad place for shopping.

强记桂林米粉

After shopping for clothes for quite a while, we decided to have our lunch. To be honest, I was very skeptical eating in China due to the media painting an unfavourable picture of the edibles in the said country. However, I felt like I was in the reality show called "Fear Factor". Haha, ok it was a little exaggerated.

农家叉烧粉（¥13）

Ok, the food wasn't as bad as I thought. It was salty. I do like their noodle, it tasted like our thick bee hoon (aka "chu mee fen").

Luo Hu (罗湖) Station

After our late lunch, we headed back to Luo Hu station. Similarly, we purchased their single trip. The irritating part of purchasing the Single Trip ticket is that you have to have the exact ¥5 note! Otherwise, go to their Customer Service Center to do an exchange.

Luohu Commercial City (罗湖商业城)

Luohu Commercial City is situated above Luo Hu Station. There is nothing much here but imitation goods. Hence, we only walked around for about 10 minutes or less.

Travelling back from Shen Zhen to Hong Kong

Saying goodbye to Shen Zhen, we walked back to the Custom, and took the MTR from Lo Wu Station.

Overall Verdict? Head over to Laojie Station instead where there are more stuffs to shop. Do note that not all their clothes are cheap. I went to their H&M, but the clothes there were more expensive than that in Hong Kong. Don't bother shopping at Luohu Commercial City unless you want to buy imitation stuffs. Once again, do take care of your belongings. To me, one day is just nice for a trip in Shen Zhen.
