THE EASTERN RESTAURANT-XIAOLONGBAOS AND LIUSHA BAOS

SHANGHAI CUISINE IS BEST FOUND AT THE EASTERN RESTAURANT AT CENTREPOINT

SEE THE DELIGHT ON MY FACE! A bowl of Pu Tong La Mian all to myself!

I have been to The Eastern Restaurant not once but thrice! The fourth time, I am going to bring my family. They are fans of xiaolongbaos like me. The molten lava buns are my all-time favourite. And I have grown to love their La Mian, especially their Pu Tong La Mian. 


One dish I highly recommend is their Spicy Dumplings!

If you enjoy spicy stuff, this is the dish for you! Order 2 plates of this if you are eating in a big group because it is simply too delicious. I had more than 3 servings of this.


My top 3 recommendations would be:


1) MOLTEN LAVA BUNS

2)XIAO LONG BAOS

3) YANGZHOU FRIED RICE

Hurry down to The Eastern Restaurant at The Centrepoint! I am drooling as I am typing this blog entry. It is one place that I can never get tired of.eating.

Haunting of Pulau Blakang Mati

Have you ever been on a Segway Personal Transporter before? Well, I had the opportunity to experience it and boy, was it an experience!!

My friends and I went 4 rounds manoeuvring round the practice circuit. There were sharp turns and I had fun going through the twists and turns on the obstacle course. 

I am all strapped up and ready for the Segway ride of my life!

One would need 3 basic things to ride a Segway Personal Transporter!


1) A pair of strong legs (to manoeuvre the different twists and turns along the route)

2)Courage (to brave through the exhilarating dark pathways)


3)Friends to accompany you (laughter and food with friends is the best antidote to conquer your fear)

It was so dark that the photographs I took turned out blurry. However, it creates a good effect as to what everyone was going to experience. Although along the way, some scratches were sustained. Everyone on the tour round Sentosa Island enjoyed themselves thoroughly. There was even food and drinks waiting for us after the tour. 

Imagine my joy and delight upon seeing all the wonderful food spread and drinks waiting for me when I ended my tour! Despite my aching feet, I was happy to be in the company of friends and the tour was simply awesome. I would strongly recommend it to tourists and locals. It is a comprehensive tour that highlights certain areas of Sentosa that is only accessible by the Segway.

My favourite Muppet character is....

KERMIT THE FROG!!!

 I love it when he sings "The Rainbow Connection."
Check out the video of his rendition of it!

He is extremely cute with his high pitched voice!

Kermit the Frog is an important member of the Muppets family!

I cannot wait to catch him in the cinemas!! I have been in love with him ever since I was a child.
It brings back lots of childhood memories!

"Catch The Muppets in cinemas this 8 December 2011 and like the Official Disney Studios Singapore Facebook Page!”

HARAJUKU STREET STYLE LAUNCH AT TANGS

It was my first time attending a  fashion event showcasing Japanese fashion and I learnt alot.

The event was open to the public but there were many Japanese fashion designers, shop owners and 77th Street owner, Elim Chew were present. The effervescent Utt was the host of the event.

The Harajuku brands  featured were BEAM, RAY BEAMS, CIAOPANIC, COEN, CRYSTAL BALL, DIP DROPS, KBF, MYSTIC, RAY CASSIN, ROSEBULLET, OSEWAYA, URBAN RESEARCH, WEGO AND BEAUTY AND YOUTH UNITED ARROWS.

Everyone began queuing up early for the event and my friends, HongPeng and William, were a few of the first 10 to get a $200 voucher to spend (try spotting them in the picture:William in his trademark striped shirt and HP in blue with specs)

Many people attended the event and lots of pretty people were spotted at the event such as this!

Here's a picture of a group of my friends, see how beautifully dolled up and happy they are! 

Joey, Mirai, Xueling, Rachel, Christina,Angie

There was a big crowd and I had to squeeze my way through...however, it was worth it as I ogled at drool-some male models! I was able to buy myself some accessories with the $20 voucher I got.

 I truly enjoyed myself for the event, there was drinks, snacks and lots of beautiful Harajuku clothes. I will definitely be back for more shopping. I was too engrossed looking at the models to concentrate on shopping.

Thanks Glitterati for the invite and opportunity to be part of it!
