Yummy Adventures

When my friends asked me what I’d like to do for my birthday, my answer was simple.

I wanted a luxurious dimsum buffet lunch, and gobble xiao long bao ( steamed dumplings with soup stock inside ). Yes, I am the xiao long bao monster. I love dimsum, and it would be heaven on earth if I could just indulge in such for a day!

I was looking at Cherry Garden because I was told that dimsum buffet there was heaven, and my friends wanted to surprise me with lunch on my birthday. I didn’t even hear my friend mention the place we were going to, to the cab driver. I was guessing Marina Mandarin’s Peach Blossoms as a close second choice of mine, and when I saw that the cab was approaching Marina Mandarin, I rejoiced, ” I knew it! Peach Blossoms at Marina Mandarin!” I think my friends really wanted to surprise me, so they purposely steered away from Cherry Garden. Haha! I’m so not complaining!

Imagine this. When you’re in a desert, and you just walk, and walk, and finally find an oasis, with clear sparkling water - what do you do?

I didn’t mean to say that Singapore is devoid of such tasteful treats. Singapore, for a Filipino-Chinese like me, is a big, big feast. Hawker centers giving fresh, hot, and smokin` treats, and more upscale restaurant uncompromising anything, giving only the best, Singapore is a foodie’s dream, and you’d better believe me. Spicy food heaven, for those who love spicy food like me, as well!

But then, I begin to miss Filipino food, for I am, after all, Filipino! I miss sisig, kaldereta, sinigang, chicharong bulaklak, that in the midst of very very delicious Singaporean cuisine, I still look for it. So that’s my desert. And guess what - I’ve finally found the perfect oasis, and it’s in Lucky Plaza!
