Also at the same time i was planning to change my current Nokia 6020 to a new mobile. Both my Sil's are now using the Nokia E65 model with comes with the WLAN function, this is useful when you have wireless at home. I was contemplating to get one too. After much consultation with the Hello Shop assistant, i finally bought a Nokia 6120 Classic. The main reason is budget..hee : P
With my discount voucher and trade in, i only need to pay a balance of $38 compared to $208 if i were to buy the E65. Now i am a happy owner of a new mobile. This new mobile has many functions and i am slowly learning all the new gadgets. The shop assistant was of good humour, when he took over my old mobile, he asked me to bid my phone GOODBYE : P
In the evening, Aces family had dinner with Ye ye and Nai nai. MIL had been following the HDB Tai Tai variety show and the latest show, the hosts (Chen Liping & Kym Ng )recommend a chinese restaurant Tian Jing Restaurant @ 80 Pagoda Street (天津楼). MIL suggested that we tried this place.
So we made a reservation for dinner at this restaurant. It was a 2-storey shophouse amid chinatown shopping area.
We ordered the set menu for 4 persons. It included their specialities :
- Seafood soup in coconut
- special spareribs
- scallops with brocoli
- fried rice with crab meat
- Hashima with red dates
(there was also a special stuffed chicken wings but was sold out)
The food was really good - the spare ribs was done until so tender that one bite will bring the meat out, both anthea and anders had a good times with the ribs.
Seafood soup in coconut was also a hit with the children. They were very generous with the seafood and Anders was happily eating all the prawns while anthea was busy scrapping the coconut meat. One soup is enough to make a full meal..hehe.
Then the fried rice with crabmeat was not a "crab". The fried rice was really FULL of real crab meats. We managed to finished the 2 plates of friend rice. It was really amazing as everyone was already quite filled up after the soup. My MIL was commenting we were like doing the show when we kept saying: "wow...so much crab meats"..haha. Just like what Aiyo-yo said in the show. The dessert was hashima cook with red dates.
During dinner, parents in law also shared more insights of their current properties market situation with us. My parents in law are very shrewd investors and i looked upon them. Hopefully one day, i can be like them, then i can really become a FT homemaker. Another of my many daydream...: )
We finished our dinner almost near to 9pm. We took a stroll along Pagoda Street and turn around at Temple Street. My main purpose is to buy the famous 味香园 desserts. I bought 1 almond paste and 1 walnut paste back home. MIL also bought 1 yam paste.
While walking back to the car at Chinatown point, we saw some "cycle-packers" and we were pretty amazed at their super high bicycles with all their travel staff.
We reached home about 10 pm. After changing the children, i tried the Almond Paste. It was really very good. So far, it's the best that i had eaten. Adrain ate the walnut and he said it was very smooth. Hmm...i will definitely go back for more.
It was a wonderful day of New Mobile/ New Discovery / New taste and i know we are on the road to more NEW discoveries.
