We have been talking about going down to try beef noodles, personally cooked by chef GX. We finally found a weekend when he would be at the store and so we planned to go. The whole gang was supposed to go but then .... sigh ... Evon was still stuck at work, could not rush down (she doesn't eat beef anyway). Shanice is still suffering from jet lag. Ben had his annual D & D tonite and had a haircut appointment at 4pm said it was too rush. KL had to work and he doesn't eat beef either....
So it was Huiyi and I!

The store is located at the Whampoa Temporary Mkt. They will be moving to their permanent place either next mth or Dec. Met Huiy at Novena and then we took a cab down, GX said it would be easier. No arguements from me as I hate taking the bus here. LC was already there when we arrived, she was waiting for us to start eating.

Here he is cooking our noodles. That's his mom who served us constantly and did not take $ from us. A bit paiseh .... thanks aunty!
---
Hard at work .. that's his dad, making sure he doesn't screw up .. haha, kidding!
---
The final product! Dry Beef Noodles. YUM!

Huiyi and I enjoying our beef noodles :)
Ok, so here's my review ... haha. I loved it ... honestly! I like that the sauce was NOT the super thick, super black kind (which looked and tasted fake to me) This was the right consistency and it tasted yummy! The soup was also very flavorful! Hmm, might have to try the soup one the next time as even GX said he preferred that.
Well, supposedly this is the Teochew style of beef noodles, the OTHER kind sometimes have salted veggies in it ... yuck! I guess my Teochew side loves Teochew Beef Noodles and my Cantonese side loves Cantonese Beef Hor Fun!!! Haha :) I love BEEF!!
Here's the other stuff we ordered.
---
Fried Carrot Cake.
---
Fried Egg with Oyster.---
Rojak.
So full!!! Wish that damn place was more accessible .... hmm, maybe I'll try to convince my mom to go down. Die ... she is going to start yakking with his mom, hmm, think it might be a bad idea.
Gx got off work at 3pm and so we headed down to Novena for some coffee, well, LC and GX had drinks but Huiyi and I were too full. Moreover, we still had round 2, didn't want to get more stuffed.
After say bye to GX and LC, I dragged Huiyi to a Sanrio shop at Novena. Have not been there in ages as it is a little out of the way. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea as I found even more stuff!!
Here's what I got ...
---
Metal tin with chocolate candy inside :)
---
Ang Bao, got 2 .... yes, like I give out so many ang baos.---
Note pad.---
Letter writing set. Even more variety than the one I got yesterday!! Yes, as if I sent out so many letters :) We then made our way down to Orchard. We were early but was afraid that we would not be able to get a seat so we headed to the restaurant first. Where? Sushi Tei at Paragon ... it was deja vu. Christine chose the place and I honestly did not mind as I love jap food.
Here's what we ordered ....
---
Salmon Sashimi, Flying Fish Roe Sushi (2 plates) and Jellyfish.
---
Scallop.
---
Sashimi Salad, the one that my sis is hooked on (she was at Serangoon Gardens eating the exact same thing as this was happening). On the right is Calamari, jap style :)
---
Salmon Belly Miso Soup.
---
Tiger Prawn w/ Avocado Sushi
---
Fried Tofu.
---
Grilled Eel.
We were so full as we finished EVERYTHING u just saw. Well, we made KL finish everything after we girls threw in the towel.
We then walked a little to allow for all the food to digest a little. After which, it was time for dessert! Off to Cedeles at Wheelock Place.
---
Chocolate Mocha Marble Cheesecake and Carrot Walnut. They were both yummy, the cheesecake was chocolaty and coffeery (yes, it's not a real word) enough, the carrot cake was moist and not too sweet.---
Brownie w/ Strawberry Ice Cream .... why strawberry? Let me explain ...
---
See the sign, it showed the list of flavors available. First choice chocolate, but when the waiter came to take our orders, we were told that they were out of chocolate and vanilla (who the hell runs out of vanilla?!?!) So we chose Macadamia Madness, he came back a few mins later, sorry, they are out too. So we are left with 3 choices, KL did not want sorbet and we know he doesn't like mango, what's left? Yes, Strawberry! But it turn out to be quite nice, there were actual strawberries in the ice cream and it did not taste fake like most I have tasted.
---
Me, Huiyi and Christine .... this whole nite was to celebrate her bday which was yesterday. KL and I weren't free so we made it today. I planned the date with my sis b4!! I did not choose Little Twin Stars over my friends!
---
Huiyi and Christine.
---
KL and I. The guy my mom thinks is interested in me ... haha, if only she knew better.
And finally .....
SHANICE! This is for u!
