Lunch For One

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

There are moments when I just love to self indulge. It’s nice to share a wonderful dinner with someone, but when it’s fated for a solo flight, sometimes, one must give oneself some TLC and have an extra special meal. No need to rush. Please yourself. Celebrating? Sometimes, being alone isn’t so sad after all.

Well, this is my lunch for today. I prepared hot salad. Oh, I miss my sister’s version of this that I just got shrimps, cream, a can of fruit cocktail, and lettuce from the grocery yesterday just to make this.

Singaporean Yummy Adventures : Exploring Chinatown

Sunday, January 18th, 2009


Chinatown, Singapore!

It was another Friday night, and what better way to finish the work-week and study-week off than eating good food with great company! This time, we decided to check out Chinatown, here in Singapore. Very much fascinated and excited, I think I was the first to arrive in the meeting place leaving extra early, anticipating good Chinese food, which happens to be my favorite cuisine of all time. I could really get fat just eating and eating Chinese food without any guilt.

The Chinatown in Singapore has a very modern feel without much shedding off its very traditional and rich Chinese culture. Stepping out of the MRT Station in Chinatown, I was immediately greeted with a shopping haven of everything , from Chinese antiques, medicine, food/deli, and so much more! It had a very festive atmosphere since Chinese New Year was coming up in a week’s time, and it dawned upon me how the Singaporeans regard this as one of the most important occasions of the year since they don’t really celebrate Christmas, and prepare even more for Chinese/Lunar New Year.


the very interesting wall of dried Chinese food. Love it! All in red, huh!
