1 day trip to Malacca

1 day trip to Malacca

One of the significant landmarks found at the Dutch Square is Malacca Clock Tower.

For breakfast, we tried one of their famous and favorable local delicacies. Needless for much description, the above picture tells the dishes. The chicken rice ball is one of the unique traits in Malacca. And for your information, you could never find roasted chicken in traditional Hainanese chicken rice.

Dear actually mistook the small chicken rice ball as fishball in the first place!! LOL.

The Cendol served was prepared with balanced mixture of coconut milk and local brown sugar syrup. It is a heavenly great dessert that couldn't be found in star-rated restaurants and hotels. Two thumbs up!!

For our lunch and dinner, we had seafood. All the food was surprisingly good. At that momentarily, I didnt care about risking to having a weight gain. :P

And most importantly when the bill came, we were all mightily impressed. When we divided the bill among the people, each of us only required to pay about S$20. That is really cheap!!

Japan trip Day 1

Japan Trip Day 1 - Sin to Toyko

(18-10-2008)

We arrived at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal One at 6am in the morning. We had a quick breakfast at Jolly Bean while waiting for our tour guide. After we checked in at 6.20am, we walked around the duty free shops for some shoppings.

This is my present from Dear =)

Making use of the free public phone :P

Our first meal on plane

After our tiring 7 hrs flight, we finally arrived in Tokyo! It was only 4pm but it seems to be like 7pm in Singapore. Since it is Autumn, the sunset is early and the sky turns dark truely fast.

We had our quick dinner at Yoh Ka Mon. We ordered their Miso Ramen, Spicy Ramen and Gyoza. The Ramen portion was huge, but i still preferred their Gyoza. I love their filling and the dumpling wrapper was soft and slightly sticky, and it wasn’t greasy at all.

The photos we took outside the shopping mall while enjoying the cool weather

After our dinner and some simple shopping, we were transferred to the International Garden Hotel Narita for our check in. There wasn't much activities after we check in as the hotel was located in a rural area near to the aiport whereby there was hardly any shopping mall around other than the small miserable convenience store.

Coming up next...

Japan Trip Day 2 and Malacca Trip

Flutes at the Fort

Dear bought me to this romantic restaurant with great ambience and atmosphere to celebrate my 21st birthday in advance.

=)

Cam-whoring when we are on our way there.

Flutes at the Fort

Flutes at the Fort is situated on the picturesque green slope at the Hill Street end of Fort Canning Park. Housed in a beautiful black and white bungalow which was built in 1908, it served as the old Fire Chiefs’ home. The Central Fire Station is clearly visible from the veranda and it isn’t hard to imagine how the Fire Chiefs of old stayed operationally ready all the time. A jewel in a perfect setting, Flutes at the Fort has a nostalgic natural beauty and combined with a warm, congenial ambience, this treasure charms even the most discerning.

My birthday card from dearest.

Firstly, this place provides free of charge valet parking which is an extra service to compliment about!

A stalk of beautiful yellow rose.

We ordered their cranberry juice.


The complimentary sourdough bread. this one is pretty well done. It is served warm with the crust lightly crackling and the interior soft and fluffy.

The grilled king prawn was very fresh and sweet.

A typically fusion dish is the Grilled Black Cod marinated in Japanese teriyaki sauce with side accompaniments of roasted butternut pumpkin cubes with wilted tatsoi leaves. Skilfully grilled, the fish could easily be sliced, its freshness apparent.

The medium rare sirloin steak was very juicy.

Because it was my birthday, they replaced the standard dessert in the set with a wonderfully decorated showcase with birthday wishes and candle.

The warm Pur - Caraibe Chocolate Fondant was slightly different from the usual renditions offered by other places. There wa s no molten chocolate in the centre to ooze out when I broke open the shell. Instead, molten chocolate was generously poured over the entire cake and allowed to cool, resulting in a gleaming black chocolate coated cake.

Overall, I was pretty satisfied. It's a little pricey, but worth it to splurge on once in a while.

Excellent food, excellent ambience, excellent companion.

I am a happy g ir l!!

I am leaving for Japan in a few hours time.
Shall update when i am back.
