Sushi Making lesson for Beginners

Date : 8 Nov 12
Time : Lunch time
Venue : Conference room :-)

Attended beginners sushi making lessons conducted by Chef Rainer. It's fun way to bond with the team. Each participants need pay $10 but it's worth it. We made far too much we can eat and ended up passing the plates around.

I attended this session with Terence who our newly wed colleagues.

He can now prepare yummy sushi for his wife ;-)

Look nice? Its yummy.. !

Deepavali - Diya contest

Updates : We won $50 NTUC voucher. So $10 each.. Jadilah. Rezeki. Alhamdulilah.

As part of SQ effort for team bonding, they organised Diya colouring contest.

A Diya, divaa, deepa, deepam, or deepak is an oil lamp usually made from clay, with a cottonwick dipped in ghee or vegetable oils.

Clay diyas are often used temporarily as lighting for special occasions, while diyas made of brassare permanent fixtures in homes and temples. Diyas are native to India, and are often used inHindu, Sikh, Jain and Zoroastrian religious festivals such as Diwali or the Kushti ceremony. A similar lamp called a butter lamp is used in Tibetan Buddhist offerings as well. - from Wiki

I urged the ladies in my team to join... just for fun

Diya before colouring

Our effort. Very childish, no skill at all. Only Yoge one look nice.

Lunch date with Keng Pheng, Mabel n Kim Guan.

Since Mabel n hubby are both vegetarians, we agreed to go vegan today.

The only known vegetarian place my carnivorous mouth can chew is Vegan Burger.

Today was my 2nd time dining at Vegan Burger. The first was before KP left CS.

Still as yummy. Portion still huge. Still ex.

They've got new item on the menu.

Presenting.. Tom yam burger

Verdict ???? Sedapppp

Single lone stem

I bought a pretty plant from Ikea couple of months back thinking how nice it'll be to have something pretty and green at my workstation.

This is what happen to my'pretty' plant now.

Hahaha poor plant kena mutilated by me.

I totally don't know how to trim the plant. So I chopped off the whole lot in exasperation.

I was then away for 3 days due to asthma. When I came back, this is what I see.

Single lone reed. Standing tall and proud.

Big thanks to my kakis... I got to know every single person passing by my workstation will give my plant a bath. :-) .

Now this plant whose species I still don't know till now has become the team's pet.

Hopefully poor pretty plant will not drown due to overshower Hahaha

Side track a bit..

Having yummy maggi goring for lunch.. From where I'm seated I can see so many shoppers passed by with Charles n Keith shopping bag.

Today is the last day for Charles N Keith warehouse sales.

Wah Seng and Yuki Seah wedding

Date : 10th of September 2011
Venue : Orchard Parade Hotel

Congrats guys.

Wishing you blissful life together forever.

Nice to meet up with ex colleagues. The Muslim food really alot. We can't finish it. Food bt Tung Luk group. So I think food catered by Garuda which is their halal restaurant. The cutleries is different from Chinese food as well which is a nice touch.

Vegetarian food looks delish too. Didn't checkout Chinese table tho.

We reached there late so missed the march in and photo session with Yuki.

Only groom photos for now.

Shin Tokyo - Part 2

(Updates on 30th Jan 2012 : Shin Tokyo Yew Tee branch closed down. The only Shin Tokyo left are at Clementi and Far East)

So long didn't go out dinner together. It's an impromptu decision so Choon Ching and Jalal not joining us. (plus Jalal had a date with horntails)

Place : Shin Tokyo, Yew Tee point branch (nice ambiance... love the wallpaper)
Date : 2nd July

Shin Tokyo is the affiliated outlet of Ramen Ten

I suggested Shin Tokyo because
- it's halal
- it's new
- it's empty
- and of course the 99cents white plate sushi

Being cheapskate, we had a consensus that we will only attack the 99cents plate.

Of course there are other menu, such as the usual menu at Ramen Ten.

And of all days, I choose to leave my camera back home today. (This morning, i decided that the almost 200 grams camera is too heavy for my shoulder *grin*)

..so we took pic using my camera phone.. which of course is bad... as you can see from my previous entry...

Then Wah Seng just being Wah Seng, decided that while we were waiting for dessert, that is the best time to whipped out his new Lumix camera. Doinggg.... !!

Too late can... ???

So this entry is compilation of snaps from Wah Seng's late debut camera, my not very good quality mobile camera and my own almost 200gm heavy camera from past visit to Shin Tokyo.

I find the food ok ok ... you can't expect much from 99cents sushi. It's the ambiance and good company that i like and of course it's HALAL.






いただきます..

The baked rice is from my last visit there. It's not bad... bigger portion than swensens and slightly cheaper i think.




SSo scary... hungry ghost making her presence... hahhahaha

nway.. that's how many cheapass plates we had..
pluss the special order, raw sotong, tuna, prawns, unagi and avocado something...

plus ice cream plus drinks.... each of us pay $14.30




Alright Guys... let us do this again... this time with the other 2 missing guys..
Next time i want to try the ramen..


さようなら...

ps : i just saw at Ramen Ten page that there's Shin Tokyo outlet at Causeway point Banquet.
hmmmmm must checkout tomorrow.

Shin tokyo dinner

Mobile update. With soo and wah seng

First outing for 2009

Sakura International Buffet
Admiralty Park (beside Republic Poly)
31 Riverside Road Singapore 739087

Tel: 6368 8197

Date : 21st Jan

First outing of the year. After months of postponing. Jalal 'graciously offered' to organise.
If i'm not mistaken, our last outing was in Jul 08.

Food here is definitely better than Pasir Ris branch. And they serve scoop ice cream instead of cup ice cream at Pasir Ris branch.

This Spanking Suki Group new branch is beside Republic Poly and Certified halal recently. From Woodlands Interchange, take bus no 903 and alight at 2nd bus stop. But majority opt to walk much to Choon Ching chagrin. ahahahahah


Choon Ching finally stop complaining after get to eat.



This time Owen joined us.
