Post-Wedding Celebration

My friend, Dawn, brought me out for a post-wedding celebration and we ate at Full of Crab for dinner and had Fat Cat's for dessert! 

Full of Crab

195 East Coast Road

Singapore 428900

Opening hours: 

11.30am to 2.30pm and 6.30 to 10.30pm (Mon to Fri) 11.30am to 10.30pm (Sat to Sun)

Closes on Tuesdays

We were the first customers for the night! And had lots of time to slowly decide on what to order while munching on the free dried fish snack. We ordered a Pirate's Pick Combo (S$85) that came with 500g of King Crab Legs with 500g of prawns and a choice of corns or baby potatoes. On the side, we ordered the cajun wings (S$11.90) and a Ciderfall to share.

The awesome thing about FOC is that they do not charge for GST! 

The food came quick and since we had to eat with our fingers/hands, we weren't able to use our phones at all so it was a really good bonding session for us :D we both gave the restaurant 2 thumbs up for their food & awesome ciderfall!

 

 

 

After a satisfying dinner, we headed to FatCat Ice Cream Bar for their famous salted egg yolk sauce with ice cream and waffle! Ordered 2 scoops of ice cream - Butter beer and Hay & Honey!

 

We both felt that we should have ordered another serving of the salted egg yolk sauce :p The ice creams were super good, except for the caramel sauce that was drizzled around the waffle which was a little too caramelized for us.

Renovation In-Progress

Renovation is underway! Here's a view of the house before renovation:

 

House Entrance

Living Area

 

Entrance to Bedrooms

Master Bedroom combined with a Common Room 

 

 

 

Common Toilet

 

Study Room

 Kitchen

The icky thing about this unit is that all the rooms have recess under the windows and 2 ugly pipes in the kitchen and the entrance area. The previous owner only stayed in the house for 5 years but it wasn't well-maintained - they did overlay for the rooms and living area just 5 years ago but the skirtings are all damaged by moisture :s and the gate, main door and wooden doors are either damaged or not working well..

 

We are doing an overhaul for the kitchen and toilets and will do a build in for the shoe cabinet. As for the rest of the house, it will be removal of cornices, painting and feature wall for the living room.

Kitchen

 

After looking at the artwork, we made the following changes:

1. Decided that it will be too much subway tiles for the kitchen so the entrance to the yard will just be painted grey.
2. The floor tiles was changed to grey (based on our selection from Singseesoon)
3. After the 2nd site inspection, we realized that the door wasn't able to align to the beam and pipes so we decided to do away with the door
4. Remove the tall unit for the microwave and built in oven- we will probably be buying a tabletop oven instead.
5. Instead of 4 windows, we changed to 6 for the half glass wall
6. Added a mounted dish rack

Further amendments were done when the hacking was in progress: Shifting of the sink to the far end so that there's more tabletop space and also remove the built in oven at the bottom of the hob.

 

Here are some photos of the 1st part of the renovation process:

Hacking

Our frustration with the ID company starting from the beginning...

I went down to take a look during the hacking process & realized that the cardboard wasn't laid well to protect the living room and bedroom floorings! Causing quite a bit of debris from the hacking were embedded in between the protective sheets and the flooring and have a high possibility of scratching the floor when the workings walk or drag heavy items on the floor. Informed the coordinator and she said they are very professional and know what they are doing so don't need to worry! -.-

 

 

  

Tiling & construction work

After 3 days of hacking, laying of the waterproof cement was done concurrently with the tiling works. Reconstructing the kitchen's half wall and toilet ledges were also done.

 

 

 

 

   

J had to design how the tiles should be laid for the yard because the tiler laid it in a very weird (& ugly) way. Sighhhh where's our ID service...
