Don't we all love dim sum buffets. 

Sharks Fin's Soup

Siew Mai

Dumplings topped with scallop and shark's fin

This was kind of interesting.

Looked like a tart, tasted like pizza topped with abalone.

Family Christmas Lunch @ Cafebiz Traders Hotel

Overdue post, I know. It's already past the new year and I'm just posting about Christmas. Christmas is best spent with family and loved ones and every year my family will go out and have a feast. This time, we headed to Cafebiz at Traders Hotel for a buffet lunch. Cute Christmas decorations every where, love love love. Photos from my instagram! 

The food was good too!

Smoked Salmon

I absolutely love love love cheese.

Ham dressed up pretty festively, I may say!

Fried rice with scallops

Seafood! 

I think this was a lamb dish ....

And we ended the meal with M&M Cupcakes and lattes.

Hope every one had a merry merry Christmas :)

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

I spent the cross over from 2011 to 2012 at home with my family having a BBQ. Cousins came over and we had loads of fun eating. Here's my adorable little 9 month old niece!

The little one likes chew on paper and is fascinated by mobile phones!

We ended the night playing sparklers that Uncle Daniel brought along! 

Leaving on a jet plane

I recently took a 6am flight to Macau. Given a choice, I really wouldn't want to catch a flight at this hour. Had to leave for the airport at 4am. I usually sleep really late and the morning I was supposed to leave, I ended chatting with my brother till 4am then left for the airport. Didn't sleep at all. To top it off, I don't sleep well on flights. Ended up arriving in Macau very very very very sleep deprived.

The only good thing about catching a flight at this time, was that I managed to watch an amazing sunrise! It was raining when I boarded the plane. Luckily there wasn't much turbulence.

I bought a packet of Animal crackers as my on board flight. Brought a book on board as well just in case I couldn't sleep. I really couldn't sleep in the end and ended up making my animal crackers pose of pictures and taking pictures of the amazing sunrise :)

Here are pictures of the amazing sunrise and the obligatory pictures of clouds everyone takes. The clouds outside the plane on the day of my flight looked super dense. It looked like a snow scape instead of clouds!

This little light of mine

This cute little thing was purchase from Daiso, the $2 store. Sadly, after moving houses, I'm not really too sure where it went. It's a pretty little thing to have in your room, hypnotic to look at and a great subject to photograph as the color changes every few seconds.

Golden Mile Complex, my cheap thrill

I live within walking distance to Golden Mile Complex, haven of all things Thai. I love going there for Thai food. Unknown to many, there is a good sized supermarket that sells lots of Thai goodies! It's situated on the 2nd level of Golden Mile Complex. Things here aren't exactly cheap. But if you're looking for something Thai  that's usually not sold at other supermarkets, this is the place to go to. Pictures taken with my blackberry!

Lots and lots of Thai instant noodles!

If you love Thai iced milk tea, there is the instant version sold here.

Beware though, it's really really sweet.

Snacks galore!

Thai Curry Pastes

Love the colors of these retro soft drink bottles

DIY Tom Yum Soup packet

I totally love these chilli flakes. I put them almost any food I consume!

Dried serpent head? Not sure what this is!

Honey + Milk. I bought this as I love honey and I love milk.

Too cloyingly sweet though. Maybe I should try put honey into fresh milk!

Another product I always buy is this.... Pretz! This flavor is not readily found elsewhere!

My shopping basket!
