SALTWATER CAFE

food adventures at SALTWATER CAFE, Changi Village Hotel

The Changi Village Hotel, part of the Far East Hotels, is a hotel with a beach resort theme. It has a lovely night views, and dining by the poolside.

Saltwater Cafe added new varieties to its buffet, with the Lok Lok Stall, Changi Crab Corner, TeppanYaki Counter, and Tiffin Curries Station.

Lok Lok is kind of a 'good old days' type of cooking, though i find it's about the same as steamboat, without the soup.
I must admit i got up quite a few times. i went to look around before deciding on what to eat. Headed straight for the Tiffin Curries Station, where i took a bowl of curry, and some rice, together with baked mussels, cray fish with black bean sauce, stir fried broccoli and cauliflower with fried toufu. I took a small slice of the prata too, though i thought it was weird, since i already had rice.

The curry, i must say is really good.

Next up, TeppanYaki Counter. I must really commend the teppan yaki chef. He's good!! The dou miao was crunchy and juicy at the same time, not to mention the black pepper beef, it was done to perfection! even for someone like me who almost always eats express teppan yaki, i must say that TeppanYaki Corner in Saltwater Cafe is really really good. not to mention the chef remembers you, and makes sure that your dishes is sent to your table!
P.S. I FINISHED ALL THE DOU MIAO.

Crabs? Well, I managed to try the chilli crab, and boy, it's delicious.

I managed to cook some quail eggs at the lok lok stall, and the Soup of the Day was Pea Soup, it was great. Just nice and creamy.

SaTuRdAy----ups and downs

What an eventful day.

I woke up to a light blue sky, with birds chirping, and looking forward to breakfast with sweetie.
Apparently, I guess he was a little too comfortable, hence the snooze.....

THE TURN
I'm up and ready, and made 2 calls, hoping to know if he was out. Unfortunately, no return calls from him. Called a few more times, and FInally called his home. Found out from his dad he was still sleeping. *sighs.
Went to get breakfast, and tried my luck Again. No luck. Ah well, I thought, I'd probably have to share it with my parents. ONE last try. His brother, finally picked up the phone.-----thx for letting me in!!!!
THE HEARTBREAK...

Turns out that my sweetie had sneezed too muuch and sort of fainted. on his bed. no wonder he couldnt hear my calls.

THE GOOD NEWS

He's alive and well, healthy, and very refreshed! Went to eastpoint after breakfast and shopped around for ROLLERBLADES....had a rather cosy tryout place in SPORTSLINK, and proceeded to cab home. Had some fun blading, before I landed with a bump. ON MY BUTT, whilst taking a step down, thankfully not on my tailbone.
the best part was teaching him how to blade, and hugging him tightly before he could fall. (:
So after the fall, we retreated to the balcony, to practise. He was really enjoying it, I can tell.
he actually requested for LATE NIGHT BLADING!!! YEA!!!

my 'SECOND' life

my 'SECOND' life--second edition

the very insignificant events that made me feel small yet again

PARDON MY ANALOGIES (shall not bitch)

bubbly champagne to still water ---at lunch

nibbling away at my cookie, and getting brownies, to realising that THERE'S none. --ya as you would say so. Apparently there's FAVOURITISM.

from staying positive and upbeat to pressing SNOOZE everytime I hear the clock/phone go 'BEEP'

from taking my own advice and my bros' experience, I find myself wanting ANOTHER ENVIRONMENT, where i can maximise my potential, without you cursing under your breath with everything i do.

This I Might Edit = TIME

I do not know what to say, or blog about rather.
I feel upset. And frustrated. And happy. And thankful.

Upset that sometimes, I cant remember wth I had said or not said and it gets to the point where it's an argument. But heck, it's over, let's be happy, like you said. Thanks, for being magnanimous (i'm not sure if it's spelt that way), like you always are.

Frustrated that I cant help you to do the MIND MAPS. Also, I forgot. And you, are always so carefree, and it breaks my heart whenever I re-read that sms you sent while in the lecture.
Tell me, wont you, that you will do well, whether or not you continue playing WARHAMMER. I dont wish to sound like a nag/your mum, cos it's still up to you. I will support you in whatever you do, so I hope that will be a motivation for you.

Happy because, you , are always there for me, and you volunteered to help me build my garden, even though you will be entirely exhausted because although I can do carpentry, I'm not as skilled as you are.

Thankful for your caring ways.

To another great year ahead. (=
