2 Weeks of Feasting
Hurray its Chinese New Year and boohoo to my gastric flu. All thanks to the Ramly burger which made my delightful feasting sessions not so delightful (applicable to Rounds 2 to 8 only).
8 Buffets/steamboats in 2 weeks....
Round One - 8th Feb (thurs)Angel recommended this restaurant called
Family International at Tampines Mall. It took over the Pariss outlet there. The food maintained its predecessor's standard and is at a much lower price of about $24 per pax. So being the food crazy people that we are, we went.
Round Two - 13th Feb (Tues)Ok, its the materials science department dinner with our profs and seniors. Its a buffet session outside LT31 lol. Sadly, the juniors were not invited as the school drew a very clear line between Materials Science and Materials Engineering students, which i think is a dumb idea.
Round Three - 16rd Feb (Fri)Alright ~!! Its the materials science Chinese New Year reunion dinner. We had it at Xian De Lai steamboat restaurant which is opposite Bugis Junction. The food is not bad and we enjoyed ourselves. Oh, and it so happens that the 12 of us are made up 6 pairs of lab partners. Can you guess whose lab partner is who lol.
*us after a tough battle with the Spicy soups.
*the girls bullying poor anqi
*erm... us...
Round Four - 17th Feb (Sat)Ok, so had my reunion dinner at this restaurant called Lao Bei Jing with my family and relatives at Plaza Singapura. Since a few years ago, we started going to this restaurant. The food is quite nice though i feel it had dropped in standard compared to a few years back when we started going there for dinners.
Round Five - 18th Feb (Sun)Happy CNY~!! As per every year, i went to my grandmother's place to bai nian. Had buffet lunch there. As usual, the food is not a let down, with all my aunties bringing in their specialty dishes, how can anyone miss it.
Round Six - 21nd Feb (Wed)Went out with my secondary school pals (Janus, Weihao, Leckkoon and Weilun... Melvyn was no where to be found and Zengkun is somewhere in New York) to chomp chomp for dinner. Weilun is flying back to Beijing and Leckkoon back to Australia soon, so we had a get together before everyone starts flying again. Actually, the food that day was a let down. All the better stalls were closed probably due to post CNY celebrations. We had to settle for BBQ sting-rays that seemed dehydrated and have shrunk in size. The chicken wings were overcooked resulting in a lot of burnt spots. SIGH... Total let down...
Round Seven - 22nd Feb (Thurs)Went to felix's house to bai nian. Ate steamboat there with the materials science pple. Didn't eat a lof though as i'll be going to Wenhui's house later for a PRU seniors gathering. Played a bit of Mahjong (no moeny involved) before i left.
Round Eight - 22nd Feb (Thurs) AGAINLeft felix's house at 4 plus and rushed from hougang to choa chu kang. Wenhui's house wasn't that hard to find as it's just opposite my old army camp. Had steamboat dinner and play mahjong with Shanshan, Cheryl and Huiching. This is the first game i played in the new year which involves money. Not bad, at least i made some earnings to cover my cab fare back home lol.
And so here they are, 8 feast in 2 weeks. I'm amazed by myself. Even with that horrible gastric flu, i still managed to pull it off. Now, for the coming weeks, its time to nurse my gastric flu away, and get ready for more good food wahahaa
