Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?

as u can see, i've striked off some items from my previous post.

that means I've DONE IT!

feeling my life is fulfilling at the moment doing the things i wanna do.

===========*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*===========


MELT-The World Buffet
Lives up to its reputation as one of the best buffets ard.
totally shiok! lets see...
the salad bar was interesting .. was particularly happy with the hawaiian dressing which is sth like thousand isalnd but slightly tangy and the array of nuts. i love pine nuts and if not for the fact that they are pretty ex i'll be eating them everyday

din dare to try the cheeses since i don't recognise anything

i started with the cold dishes first
baby lobster-which was alright
steamed prawns- fresh and crunchy
and those super big crabs all thoughtfully, partially de-shelled for easy consumption

my colesterol level was rocketing to Pluto(when i was young pluto was a planet!) coz i had No Signboard just the day before. -thats another story.. hmmm.... yumz!

and den made my rounds with the cooked food.
there was thai, indian, chinese, and pasta

i tried and found the mains decent but not spectacular with the exception for the Chinese which was prepared by their famous sister restaurant Cherry Garden, the sweet sour ribs was pretty tasty. I din try the pasta tho.

the main event was the desserts. Hot crispy waffles with choc drizzle was to die for! almost couldn't stop myself from getting 2 servings despite my already super full stomach.

a 4 out 5 stars reccommendation

No Signboard Seafood
was absolutly, fabulously, lip smacking delicious!

Went to the Mattar Road main branch, that is, Geylang(fyi, red light district) and was treated(? lol) to the sight of neat and tidy rows of hookers standing a few paces apart from each other.

u know how western media portrays prevs as socially inept, lonely, fat, sweaty, clumsy individuals who drool in the mouth? ok. not exactly. its asian counterpart is skinny, cheekily and openly leering, gathering in packs.

anyways
once in the safety of the roadside zi char stall that spawned the over the top kitsch pesudo-opulent restaurants. (think chandeliers and loads of heavy gold orate frames on the walls) We were greeted by, by my approximatation, 50 odd staff. LOL. from kitchen help to waiters and professional plate collectors, there's freaking alot of staff hanging ard possibly at most 20 al fresco tables.

no signboard is really very very expansive despite the "roadside flavour".
but the food is heavenly!
i'm not much of a crab eater so i was prepared to skip their famous crabs. I was lazy to deshell them, too much effort for too little reward. But i completely changed my tune when the crabs were served. The chilli crabs were fantastic, so much so i couldn't help it but to dirty my hands trying to deshell the crabs. as my some of my friends know, i reeeeaaally dun like to deshell things.

the sauce was very very good, my mum wanted to tabao the sauce. Dipping the sauce in deep fried man tous. we literally couldn't stop.

another dish worthy of mention is the honeyed ribs. Its the most fragrant I had and incredibly, done exactly right so that the outside is slightly charred and the inside remains soft. I think i cleared half the serving by myself. yum yum.

by then again, i was hungry... was exam night and i only had some cookies before the exam started at 7 and ended 10pm. maybe i've been swayed by my growling tummy. whahaha

Shokudo-Raffles City

Went with Layeng to try the relatively new place.

By now, Singaporeans should know that its a Jap restaurant done Marche style.

Food was decent and some even delish. will not reccommend the bbq skewers tho. comepletely over done. not sure if its their practice to keep the food on the grill till we come back to collect.

tried the unagi bamboo rice-pretty decent, i won't mind having it again.
jap paper thin pizza- alrite lah
omu rice- layeng said was pretty good

mochi, azuki and corn - i like! but i'm biased, since azuki and corn are 2 of my fave toppings
cheese cake-very milky, typical jap version.

a 3 out 5 stars reccommendation (add 0.5 star for a good place for gatherings)
