Restaurant Teck Sing @ Taman Sentosa

Dad decided to have paper baked chicken for dinner. So we headed to Teck Sing restaurant located at Taman Sentosa before headed to singapore. The place is full house and we need to secure our own seats and it took around 15 minutes to secure with seats. 

The foods that we ordered that night. The serving time is approximately within 20 minutes and it was quite a speed despite full house. Simple dishes but it fills our stomach well. 

Fried Eggs with bitter gourds which does not taste bitter when served hot. 

RM12

Sambal Sotong @ RM10/ RM15

Fresh seafood and not that spicy though

My aunt's favourite. The sambal petai which i forget the price. 

Curry Fish Head @ RM25

Simple homecook feel of curry fish head. It goes perfectly well with plain rice.

The specialty of paper baked chicken or we called it beggar chicken @ RM18.

Fresh tender kampong chicken with traditional herbal herbs and sauce wrapped with paper bag and baked several hours. The meat is tender and soft and you won't feel that it is kampong chicken.

One more plate of vegetable @ RM12

Dinner was simple and nice though. We had chit chatting session throughout the dinner. It is always nice to have family bonding together and sit down to have a dinner. Everyone is busy working and studying. It's always hard to have common time together. So we must cherish the moments that spent together.

One Day Durian Buffet Trip @ Tangkak

My sis bought a deal from deal.com.sg which costs S$50 + S$3 tipping for the whole trip. It's a One day durian buffet trip to Tangkak. It's our family gathering on the first week of July.

 It is under the tour company named “Farmosa Holiday Tour Pte Ltd”.

She was accompanied by her bf to collect the tickets and order confirmation from the company which located at Chinatown. It's an early trip as we need to reach the pick up point at Chinatown around 6.30am as the bus started by 6.45am. No other choice but to take cab to reach to the destination. My parents purposely rent a car to drive them in to the pick up point before head to Tangkak.

The bus seats are not spacious at all. It's basically smaller size as it is a 4 seater bus in a row. So basically do not expect much on the comfortable level of the seat. The bus was full with people and mostly are family oriented group of people joining this trip.

Snap a moment while passing through the second link causeway towards highway to Tangkak. It was a lovely day and we stopped at gelang patah for breakfast. Followed by Yong Peng for local snacks shopping and toilet break before we finally reach the destination. Did i mentioned the crowd at Yong Peng local snacks shop are like crazy? Their business was booming and people just keep flowing into the shop. So many tour buses stopping in front of the shop to drop the tourists.

There are many other bunch of groups have arrived the destination and enjoying the durian at the durian plantation. It was already noon time and durian was our lunch that day.

There are tables spread all over the place for people to be seated and start the buffet session. Lotsa of durians were all placed in the big basket as shown in below picture. 

Staffs or people who worked there are ready to open the durian for us. 

All we need to do is to stand in front of them and the durians are nicely cut for us to open and consume it.

Daddy trying to open the durians for us to eat. All the durians are meaty and fleshy as well. Some taste bitter, sweet and creamy too. We tried many kinds of durians that day. The whole buffet lasted around 1-2 hours and our stomach is full of durians. Initially we just ate whatever we got from the so called staff. 

Dad realize that other tour guide group was telling the staff that he wants Hong Xia, Mao Shang Wang & D24. The staff picked from the other basket of durians and gave a smell and touch before cutting the fruits to him. Truly is that the durian meat is totally different from what we have on our table. 

So we went to approach the staff and request the same and we got it. It taste better than the ones that we had earlier. So we had tasted the normal ones and premium ones on that day. No wonder people keep saying Hong Xia, Mao Shan Wang, D24. There is a big different taste of durian quality. 

These are the premium ones. I love the colour of the fleshy meat and it truly taste different from the normal ones. Colour of the durian is also one of the feature to differentiate the durian category although i am unsure which is which :)

After durian buffet, we headed to brown rice factory and also bird nest factory. As usual, tour guide will bring us to such places to purchase and they will gain certain percentage of commission from them for bringing customers to them.

The last stop was to goats' farm and we toured around the little farm. We managed to see different types of goats and also pregnant goats. Normally goats that had just give birth to 1 or 2 baby goats will be allocate to a corner with their babies for few weeks before putting them back together with the rest. Same applies to pregnant goats. All pregnant goats are placed into the same area and no mixing of male goats as well.

This goat is my favourite with the teeth and tongue sticking out.

 I managed to get a good snap of him as he keep turning his head away from my iPhone.

The farm also sells goats' lotion, milk and also ice-cream. Didn't try the ice-cream though as i do not prefer goat milk. We headed to Jusco Tebrau for about an hour due to the request from the other passenger as they stated the deal mentioned Jusco Tebrau. So they insisted to head over for a quick shopping.Followed by a dinner at Taman Gaya if i am not mistaken. The food served was not delicious at all. So we can't expect much on the food quality as my sis saw they even pour back the leftover white rice that was served on the table back to the rice cooker. It is super gross to do so. 

Dad, mum and sis decided to depart from the restaurant back JB and rachel and bf and myself followed the bus back spore. I reached home around midnite as there is slightly traffic jam towards singapore custom. Totally unexpected that the jam was terrible around night time at second link.

Good companion and lovely day but not the food though. 

Durians are good as we managed to know how to request for premium ones to enjoy. 

So, it's quite worthwhile after all.

Happy Mother's Day @ 食客The Korean Family Restaurant

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

 We had our early mother's day celebration 2 weeks ago when my dad is out of town. Ladies in the house and off we went for Korean cuisine at taman pelangi. It was recommended by mum 2 years back. This is our second time to the restaurant and surprisingly it's full house. I remembered the last visit was a quiet restaurant. We waited for almost 30 minutes to get a place to dine in. So it will be best to make reservation before headed down to restaurant.

Foods that we ordered that night:-

Fried dumplings / Korean rice cake/ Seafood pancakes/ Grilled saba/ sliced pork and beef to be grilled and wrapped with lettuce/ side orders

The slice pork and beef was tender and nicely grilled and we wrapped it with the special sauce and garlic slice with lettuce. Superb!!

 Brought along instax camera and we had photo snapping that night. 

Laurel and Angel is checking out the instax photos.

Photos below is our end result :)

Happy Mother's Day to Grandma, Mummy and God mum!

 Hope they are in pink health as always!

I am not good in words when it comes to mushy words but i hope everything goes smoothly for them. My sisters and I were already out working in the society and only left my youngest sister at home with my parents. My home is quiet during weekdays and parents are expecting us to go back over the weekend. So i will always try to go back home after work on friday. Seeing my parents growing older and it really heart breaks that my sisters and I unable to accompany them most of the time. My mum is always our pillar of strength regardless for anything. Her love is unconditionally and selflessness. She just want the best of us and helped us whichever way she could.


I love you, Mum!


Some words are meant to say out sometimes at the right timing. But it takes a courage to speak it out and let the party feel how you truly feel. I know i can't speak it in front of my mum so i used another way to express it. 


As years go by, i felt the time is precious especially time spent with family members. Each of us have different time and it takes effort and initiative to get relationships and bonding to get closer and maintain the way it is. That's the unconditional of love. Never forget the families love because there is a point in your life where you face obstacles or decisions, it's parents who guide and be there for you.

My Liberica Speciality Coffee @ Taman Molek

I been to Liberica cafe before after a recommendation from my ex-colleague but didn't manage to snap photos. So this time round with my secondary seniors and bought my iPhone to snap few shots.

Drinks with beautiful sculpture on top of it.

Every time has different design and i remember mine was love shape when i came last year.

View from the bar counter with their ready equipments and mixing drinks which is transparent enough to see how the staffs brew the coffee and made the drinks.

You can smell the fragrance of the coffee bean when they brew them.

The cafe has a homely feeling and the interior design was quite cosy and comfortable.

Thus, you can see full house when you drop by over the weekend.

Coco drink with vanilla ice-cream cum with chocolate syrup.

Sinful drink but i love it.

My eyebag is so obvious after the facial.

Omg..but i still like the photo.hehe!

Matcha swiss roll that costs RM4 per roll.

The swiss roll has soft texture which really suits my taste bud. Swiss roll is their one of the best dessert in house. It's a must order when you visit the cafe.

Crepe cake which is not as superb as the famous Malacca version ones.

But it is still acceptable though.

Qiang ordered salad cum puff which has nice presentation and the taste is not bad as well.

Random snaps of the gang discussing on our upcoming HK trip...

Splendid saturday with facial for 2 hours followed by tea break and chat session for the upcoming HK trip plans. However, it turned out to be very brief that basically it is just the draft only.haha! When people gets together, the topic is always out of the main ones.
