HONG KONG SEAFOOD & STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT

ever since i saw the advertisement on Hong Kong Cafe – Steamboat…
i have been thinking about STEAMBOATSSS~~~

so… on friday… i drove hubby to kallang oasis for it..
the waitress was pretty agressive .. we walked past the restaurant..
and she was pushing the menu… asking us to go in to have a look.. etc
hubby was smoking.. and we asked her to wait…. but she wun stop~

once inside the restaurant… hubby went to the toilet…
and the lady passed me the menu for the steamboat….
and also the menu for the rest of their ala carte dishes…
i nearly fainted when i saw the steamboat menu….

every dish had a price tag! eg, sliced pork = $8, lettuce = $4
i am so USED to a single price tag for steamboat buffet…
marina south.. $12 bucks for BBQ steamboat~~ so cheap…
and chong qing buffet @ suntec… i think about $28++ per person~
seeing such prices made me flip!! but since we are already there….
i decided to just give it a try lor……

we placed order for liver, pork, chicken, lettuce, pig stomach..
also had live drunken prawns, NZ premium lamb…
the soup was free as they issued a coupon on the spot for free soup…
*** THEN WAT’S THE POINT OF PUTTING IT IN THE MENU?***

the portion for the food is pretty ok….. oh ya, 8 live prawns = $19…
hmmm.. ANYWAY… we had our meal….. but, not very full lor…
so we ordered XO carrot cake as side dish… tried it b4… it’s good…
BUT!!! the standard DIFFERENT from east coast lor! not as nice ….

total bill add up to $80+++ for 2 person having steamboat….
it’ll be the FIRST and the LAST TIME i’m eating there lor..

not because the food ain’t good… THE FOOD IS GOOD!!!
but… me and hubby enjoy eating… and we eat a lot…
we LOVE steamboat… and not having free flow of food…. is so NOT US!

anyway, we were there on FRIDAY NIGHT…only 2 tables were occupied…
at 10pm, we were the only one left.. business very cham~

NYDC

after dining at kallang…. we headed down to orchard swensens….
celebrating mar’s birthday…. SO MANY PPLE WERE QUEUING!
we joined the queue anyway.. and halfway thru, it rained….

everyone in queue was asked to queue up near to HSBC….
and obviously, everyone started taking the chance to JUMP QUEUE..
we were pretty pissed…. and headed to NYDC instead….

i didn’t take much photos… too dark and my phone shutter speed not gd..
that’s marvin, who just touched down from…. brunei i think? haha…
very on~~ still can drive down to meet us….. (see pic below)

esther ordered “BOO BOO” cake for mar… it was DELICIOUS…..
but i guess it’s more for hardcore chocolate lovers!!! VERY SINFUL!

i forgot to take a pic of marilyn….. have to wait for esther to load~

CHARLES & KEITH WAREHOUSE SALE

yeah… we went on a SATURDAY AFTERNOON….
hubby drove me and Ju over…. denise drove herself…

the furthest we went.. is only up till the man in red beside the truck…
CAN U SEE THE GODDAMN QUEUE?????????

ok.. take a look at the picture below…

from the sheltered area on the right side….
the queue went allll the way to the left of he building…
AND THEY WERE JUST QUEUING UP TO GO IN!!

so wat if it’s 50%? zzzzzzzz……. we decided to pay full price…
for a QUEUE – LESS shopping experience………
