Happy Birthday, Mummy!

Brought the whole family out for dinner to celebrate Mummy's birthday. Dad felt like having vegetarian so we decided to try Classic Lao Di Fang Vegetarian Restaurant, located in Park Mall.

Address

Classic Lao Di Fang Vegetarian Restaurant

9 Penang Road #B1-12, Park Mall, Singapore 238459

You have a choice of buffet or ala-carte style, we decided on ala-carte as we weren't that hungry:

• Special mushroom soup  (S$13.80)
• Mango prawn roll            (S$16.80)
• French Bean                    (S$9.80)
• Stir fried sambal fish       (S$18.80)
• Chrysanthemum tea x 4   (S$8)
• Rice x 4                            (S$6)

Total: S$81.85 after service charge (No GST)

Verdict: 

• Soup was good and filled with lots of mushrooms and had a nice herbal taste to it
• The sambal fish was awesome, the sambal was aromatic, adequate spiciness and the texture of the "fish" was convincingly real, a MUST-TRY! But you have to eat it while it's hot or else it won't be that shiok
• You can't go wrong with french beans
• As for the mango-prawn, texture was very prawn-like, A pretty decent dish :) 
• Chrysanthemum tea was super diluted and expensive, should have ordered the organic juice instead
• Overall the portion is just right for 4 pax 
• Service was prompt and the restaurant was really clean

Pune Retreat, India

Just got back from a 6 days retreat trip to India with J and my parents which was organized by the Centre of Inner Studies (CIS), Singapore. CIS was established in 2006 and is affiliated to the World Pranic Healing Foundation in Manila. They are a non-profit organization which teaches pranic healing with proven scientific approach (a “no-touch, no-drug” energy based healing modality). And the best thing is that it is not linked to any religion. 

The trip to India was a real eye-opener, we thoroughly enjoyed the process and food. And it was seriously therapeutic, love the peace and quietness over there :D We arrived in Mumbai and took a 6 hours bus ride to a mountain in Pune. We passed by many slums and it was really sad to see the living conditions of the people. The weather was slightly chilly at night (around 10degrees I think) and in the afternoon it's really warm.

Passing a town on the way to the mountain

And I have to say that I had the most memorable trip of my life- I have a terrible case of acrophobia but because of my 'itchy backside' (nothing literal), I decided to give mountain hiking a go. With only a torchlight, we took off at 5.30am in pitch darkness, it was really scary for me especially with my wild imagination and any lack of concentration can send me rolling off the mountain because it was pretty steep. The hike up and down took about 4 hours and throughout the journey, I was like tearing non-stop and kept saying "OMG i'm gonna fall off!" and didn't want to move, haha that was how bad my phobia was. But I'm so glad that I managed to conquer the mountain and to have J next to me ;D

Sorry didn't have much photos of the trip.

On the way to the airport, we stopped by a mall to take a look and to do some quick shopping :)

Restoran Hua Mui: Hainanese Chicken Chop

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

Few weeks back, J's mum suggested to have lunch at Hua Mui and told me that they are known to serve one of the best Hainanese chicken chop in Johor!

 

So here goes..

 

Restoran Hua Mui 华美茶餐室 is located near City Square Mall:

131 Jalan Trus, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Opening Hours: 7.30am to 9.30pm

 

 

 

J's family ordered the famous chicken chop and I ordered the fish and chips to have more variety. If i'm not wrong, it costs about RM$12 for the chicken and RM$13 for the fish, both served with green peas, potatoes and tomatoes. The fish and chicken was sufficiently juicy and the batter was thin and crispy too, really not bad! :) Oh I love the gravy, next time I will ask for more of it haha.  

 

Verdict: 3.8/5.0
