Dinner at Sheng Cheng (21 Jul '10)




Yesterday evening our friend took us this place near MacPherson to try out turtle meat (山瑞). It was my first time trying out this exotic meat, white like chicken, but firmer. The skin tasted like it's full of collagen. While it's very good and tasty, you can't have too much of it, since it's supposed to be very nutritious and "heaty". Plus, save our turtles!

We also ordered a pot of black chicken soup; it was light and clear (when compared to turtle soup)

Appreciation Lunch at Kallang Leisuredome (15 Jul '10)




A few of us were treated to an appreciation lunch for helping out at a company event. We went to this nice Japanese restaurant, Nihon Mura and had our fill of bento, sushi, sashimi and yakitori.

P.S. Extra photos courtesy of Eddie, thanks brother!

Welcoming baby Roy (03 Jul '10)




A few of us went down to see a colleague's new born baby early on Saturday morning. It was raining cats and dogs in the morning, so a few of us were late. But it worked out, as the couple had other visitors before that.

We had fun visiting the radiant mom and tired dad and the uber-cute baby boy. He may not look like it, but baby Roy weighs a hefty 3.75 kg! The parents in our midst had fun carry him, while the singles just stood around and bask in the warm cozy family-ness. :D
