Raffles Place with friends

Argh...I'm whining now coz I didn't put my camera phone to good use eh. Sometimes i just forgot that I DOOO have a camera phone. Or maybe i'm just not a photo person/person who doesn't like to take fotos...

Well, we were supposed to meet at 5pm at Raffles Place MRT. So i left at 3.45pm frm Hall. I know I know.It's so stupid that I left so freaking early lor. Coz if i leave half an hour later, It might be too late, plus i wanted to catch the NUH Free shuttle.
So went to NUH. GUess what?STupid BUS doesn't operate on Sundays...DAMN..have to walk back to the same bus stop. Good exercise tho lol. Then wait forever and ever for 95 to come.Reached RAFFLES MRT sooner than i tot 4.49pm.

Passed by Mr Bean http://mrbean.com.sg/product.asp
Slurp, (btw i dun fancy Soya Beans, but....) So i went to check it out. Slurp, I bought a Soya Bean ice -cream. Taste exactly like soya bean, love the cone too. I must start loving soya bean now, coz i wanna have good complexion.Siao!

So I walked one big round and got lost around Raffles Place. the place is so freaking quiet during the weekend, and it is very busy wkdays la coz ppl work der ma.Finally saw teahouse@China Square. saw Erik. was so happy:)

Teahouse wasn't open for dinner till 6pm so...we went to Village Wok to eat PoPiah..6 pieces for 18++ lo..EX!!!
BUT!!!! It was super nice lo.Haiz, I wished i took the DAMN pictures. K imagine it visually urself, got prawns, eggs, chinese sausage, dried stuff(sesame, blablabla)
OOh i love the chilli and garlic, the garlic especially(so garlicky and hot, mmmm)
Then there's the black sauce, the POPIAH skin was so aweeeesomeeee....and the turnips not to forget..was nicely done and not to overly tasty. And YESH!!THe popiah skin din tear this time..coz i think that kind dun tear easily. As usual our special guest Erik gets to eat the last one (Bwahaha, Im waiting when I'm on exchange, then i can be treated like royalty too!)
Slurp, so nxt round-went to Teahouse Lo. Slurp the DimSum is like aweeesome can?
Too bad we din go for the buffet coz the price is abit steep $28. Hi Tea shud be better at less than 20 dollars. we ordered the usual:HarGao, Siew Mai, Char Siew Sou, Prawn Mango thingy, and Turnip Cake(which was a pathetic one piece), Oh then the nxt round we ordered less: Char Siew pau and Beancurd Skin Rolls with Prawn(wow so yummy). I sinned:Coz i ate lots of prawn and yam. Dessert wus: Ou Ni( Yam Paste thingy with pumpkin thingy with Gingko Nuts(my fav Gingko) and Creamy Peanut Paste with Tang Yuan. Quite a decent meal for five of us. The price:$8.40 per person. BUT STILL: I dun mind paying $28 for it. But some ppl would not pay for that price, and that i CAN UNDERSTAND. Haha, coz when u pay that much, u can have a more satisfying meal i guess. Blurgh, took photos and head home.

Talked alot to Erik and the rest(Hui En, Steph and Kok Soon) about life at UNC, US and in general. Haha, it's quite fun and knowing that all of us can still manage to talk and talk and talk. It's good. Coz the problem with me is, when i dun see that person for a long time, I will have two worries: I will have damn alooot of things to tell them, or I donno what to talk to them. This will depend on how close you are to that person, and whether u can open up and talk this kind of stuff with them, and how sociable they are.

Well if u wanna head for good DimSum go to :Teahouse @China Square...i ... MUST...bring my Mommy there...provided she eats more

Toodles
