My most favorite bread is bagel.
but it's not easy to find nice bagels in Singapore...
I think I missed bagels most.
too bad, now I am not able to get
my favorite bagel in Hiroshima anymore...
(bagels imported from U.S.)
I only like to eat Hard bagels,
not soft bagels...
Macou's bagel...their bagel quite hard, not bad.
I miss my favorite bagels~~~!!! ='OMacou's bagels

My mum most of time buys seafood, not meat.
She bought salt seasoned scallops,
it is also my favorite kind...
which is whole scallop,
together with roe and scallop skirt.
I grilled in fish grillar and realized that
I should pan fry or something as it became
hard...
not only salt but also hint of lemon...
I was too lazy to pan fry...=P
maccha
miss
shiu-chan...
is it because shiu-chan keeps part of maccha's heart?...
shiu-chan keeps maccha's heart is it!!???
I wanted to have some cakes.
really wanted to have something nice cakes...
I cannot tahan already!!!!
went to nearest shopping mall,
(i have no car, not able to go to small shops)
bought two slices of tart and green tea mousse.
peach tart (top) and seasonal fruits tart (bottom)
Tarts from "MARIO DESSERT",
in Hiroshima, they are famous for Italian cuisine.
Peach tart is sliced fresh peach with raspberry and custard cream,
tart base is crispy pastry tart.
Fresh tart is come with seasonal fresh fruits,
now is Fig, Mango, Muscat, Grape, Pineapple and Kiwi (green & gold).
With custard cream and standard tart base.
Their cake display is always very temptating.
they display in whole cakes, and once u order, they'll slice for u.
Cakes are all used fresh fruits, really look tasty.
I am not tart fan but always feel like buying =P
When shiu-chan visited their shops, he noticed that
most of shop ladies there are short short and cute cute...
I agree with that =)
Green tea mousse is quite bitter.
Green tea mousse from "PASTRAL",
this brand is seems under local bakery "ALOFT".
they offer cute size and desgined cakes.
Green tea mousse, they indicated that they use "gyokuro",
which is high quality green tea.
Green tea mousse tasted quite smooth and light.
there were some red beans inside too.
It was very satisfied with having cakes and
made me feel so happy...=)
I know I must work harder to burn my fat after that!!!
nyahaha =P =P

Grapes, Peaches, Cherries,
Watermelons and melons...
more fruits you can find.
maccha is 100 % made in Japan.
eh? maccha doesn't like all these???
ehh??? maccha preferes these can be find in Singapore???
Melon, too thick taste till get throat ichy.
Grapes, too thick taste and colour till fingers became purple.
Cherries, small...compare to american cherries till can't feel eating cherries.
and and...
Bought a banch of grape for pray.
I will not eat it...I miss grapes I was eating in Singapore....
Shiu-chan will ask : are you really 100 % made in Japan???
Met a friend.
She is helping me to keep all my horses.
(she even gave individual paper box stable for them! so good?!)
She gifted me a cute clay horse as my BD present.
When I was still in Singapore,
she sent me the photo of that.
Hehe, I finally received it!
Thanks alot, friend! =)
We chit chat all the way,
Had lunch at Subway and tried newly offered
[Prawn & 7 beans dhill curry]
Tasted quite spicy, and interesting texture.
I think I wanna have it again next time.
had a nice time with her, my old friend.
We decided to go to somewhere for hot spring before we
enter to "AROUND THIRTY" haha =PSubway

Mum asked me to follow her for drink matcha.
When we go for weekend shopping,
she sometimes like to drink that.
I always only drink matcha.
She always only drinks matcha set,
which come with Japanese sweets and pepit rice crackers.
bitter matcha and sweets are good matching. after that,
simple taste rice cracker refresh your mouth.
ya hor! =O quite long long time I never been there with her.
We happy drinking matcha but noticed that their tea cup,
specially used for matcha one was become look cheap cheap.
It was definitely not nice for drinking matcha kind.
We felt a little bit sad.
However, tea taste and sweets taste were still ok.
Next time, I should bring shiu-chan there for tea =)
I am not a Donut fan, but I wanted to buy some donuts
from my favourite shop, mister donut.
They always offer limited period donuts,
now they offer maccha donuts.
I prefer cake donuts but this time round,
bought yeast donuts.
french cruller is really light yeast donut i think.
their donuts size is just nice and
doesn't look oily.
Taste light too.
Especially, I love their original characters
aka pon-de-lion and friends!!!
very very cute donut animals =D
I tell u, once u saw them,
YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!

I think I miss Japanese dessert alot.
I thought buying some light and tasty dessert.
I went to department stores for hunting.
=X
....too many cute cute cakes and pastries.
=(
dunno which one to buy.
Season it comes a summer,
shops are offering summer desserts.
Jerry with Mango,
Almond Jelly,
Green tea agar-agar mousse,
Peach mousse,
and and and....
='(
all look tasty.
all almost these are same price.
I haven't even get one.
My mum suddenly said she feel like having cake,
so, went to neighborfood cake shop.
(Something like Prima Deli kind)
I bought Zunda mont blanc,
She bought rare cheese cake.
Yappari, mass production.
tasted so so only.
not our favorite kind of taste.
somemore both got spange cake in it.
I prefer moussy cake then!!!
Regret!! I should go to department store and
spend same money to buy better ones ASAP!!
(local popular patissiers' shop one)
By the way, Zunda mont blanc was not bad.
still there was Zunda paste taste.
(Zunda is young green soya bean paste)
and I feel, for the packaging, Singapore shops
can learn something from Japanese way.
always they put ice pack in it regardless of season and
put little separater to secure the cakes.
Mother bought apricot and Shijimi clam.
She said it's first time to see fresh one.
I think same to me...
looks nectarine...nice smell...but...it's only looks and smell...
We tried that, we thought it should be
sweet like peach, but it was quite dry and
not sweet at all...
tasted a little bit like biwa, but totally not juicy.
I think apricot is eat dry one better.
And then, she cooked shijimi miso soup.
she likes to cook and drink it with white miso.
Shijimi clam is living in fresh or half salt water.
very small and shell is black in colour (abt 2 - 3cm)
taste is very mild, much different form Asari clam or Hamaguri clam.
everytime I had that, remember of my child food.
I was always go to small small river and take small Shijimi clam...
that was only 1cm or 2cm or more smaller...=P
my friend gave me a Japanese sweets.
those are mainly serve with Maccha (powdered green tea).
usually is quite sweet, but nice matching with the tea
as tea is very very bitter.
sweets represents seasons, now is summer,
so all these looks cool and refresh.
above fresh sweets, represents summer.
i took one, river with fish.
should be made with agar-agar,
bean paste and beans.
cute right?? 4 or 5 cm square size.
really a cute small art =)
MIYAJIMA -
this small island is one of 3 famous sight,
one of world heritage.
when it comes a new year,
many people go there for new year prayer,
when it comes a spring,
people visit and see nice cherry blossoms,
when it comes a mid summer,
people enjoy beautiful underwater fireworks,
when it comes a autumn,
people visit and see burning red maple trees.
there will be a many traditional ceremonies year round,
those continues more than 1,000 years.
of course, ceremonies according to lunar calender.
standing in the sea, u can walk under the gate when it low tie
went there with friends,
this time round, we took cable car to mt.misen.
miyajima's very mysterious mountain.
many monks or priests had tough training to enhance their power.
many people hike to summit to celebrate first sun rise of the year.
nice view from cable car
it was very very hot weather and we perspired alot!
i think although nice place to hike but better go there
not in summer...haha...=P
my region, famous for oyster,
my friend had oyster meal and liked it.
nice to know that =)
went to a resteurant for pre-wedding gathering.
my friend ordered interesting dish.
it was,
deep fried softshell crub, chicken soft bone and prawn.
soft and crunchy, it was really a interesting and
tasty dish =)
we had many chit chat, friends from
hong kong, malaysia, singapore and
a few places of japan.
what a memoriable time it was!!
took a flight together with my god bro and some friends.
it was really a bad weather,
half of flight was "fasten seat belt".
plane shaked sometimes.
luckily my bro was besides me,
I kept grabbing his arm.
my friends can sleep well while in the plane,
I am not.
always feel scared!!
wish I don't need to take plane alone so often...
Shiu-chan is now reservist.
His reservist is everytime high key, 3 weeks.
my god bro, everytime low key, 1 week.
meeting some bunk mates & buddies.
Reservist is not only go back to camp,
but also meeting friends.
It's something meaningful.
only I feel so?
Train hard for country,
chat more with ur buddies =)
Chicken Rice in Singapore is
Steamed or Roasted chicken with
Rice (use chicken stock to cook rice).
When I had chicken rice first time,
I was surprised to see it.
Wonder why?
For Japanese, Chicken rice is
stir fried ketchup rice with chicken.
When shiu-chan first time saw it,
he surprised to see it.
but I think, fried rice is Japan and Singapore is same.
what I see is same.
should be?
mix rice with egg before stir fry, home easy cooking for fried rice.
I think this is good gift for friends.
I like to drink too.
By the way, Last time when I went to
Raffles Hotel's Long Bar with my friends,
I was very interested in not singer,
peanuts shells, Singapore sling,
but electronic old fan!
It waves extremely slowly but
made me feel more get drunk.
nyahaha

Since St.Regis opened,
I always wanted to visit there for afternoon tea.
Finally I went there with my friend.
I love to explore afternoon tea with her.
I like this flower designed decor(?)
Their afternoon tea was mostly sweets.
I think even I asked shiu-chan, I don't think he will go.
Sandwiches tasted interesting.
Afternoon tea served with 2 tier, of scones and sandwiches,
choice of hot savory (satay, curry puff, dim sum or quiche)
and dessert buffet.
Yes, you may find not much salty thing...compare to other hotel's.
Dark Chocolate mousse. smooth and rich choc =)
Macarons and cute berry tart.
Salty stuff tasted quite nice, desserts tasted not too sweet too.
I liked cute tarts.
Although Afternoon tea is till 5pm, We chit chat till almost 6pm.
Had a great time. I recommend her for lunch,
her hubby said "eat 26 oysters should be worth for price already"
He said was cute and funny!!!
Brasserie Les Saveurs
Lobby Level, St.Regis Singapore
Afternoon tea daily 3pm - 5pm
[Senso] is quite famous Italian restaurant.
I remember the restaurant introduced in Official Guide of Singapore.
I wanted to try but no chance till now.
I happened to receive this restaurant voucher.
So,
It's a great chance to try out!
I thought very classy restaurant but quite cozy and relaxing decor.
There is lunch set offered S$32++ per pax.
but we order what we want to try.
I ordered Risotto, it was my first time to have risotto.
I thought risotto is just like porridge, but it was not.
tasty risotto, I liked it a lot =) oishikatta~~!!
So chewy rice and nice fragrance of creamy sauce.
Prawn was nicely done and crunchy!
Shiu-chan ordered flat pasta with wild boar,
Pasta was al dente and well match with sauce too.
moist and tasty.
For the dessert, we ordered Tiramisu.
I think they use sponge cake, not finger biscuit.
Not too sweet, but not much cheese cream.
refreshing taste, nice with coffee.
We share starter and dessert,
they serve those separately, but quantity is just nice.
I think for Italian restaurant, I have to ask for half portion.
I could not finish main...again...
What a waste!!!
Felt so sorry for chef and ingredients...=(

Suddenly I feel like to do drawing & painting.
I left all the drawing / painting stuffs in Japan.

Get a few COPICs.

Bought a few Copics and felt,
"what a happy feeling =D"
Anyhow bought paper as I could not find my favorite one.
Just Draw Draw Draw...
Whatever I want to draw...
Paint Paint Paint...
Remember feeling of Copic touch...

Although I mainly do Digi Art, but I still love to do this way.
Really long long time never drew seriously,
I think my sketching becomes not balanced...

My Dear, AKA Shiu-chan.
He likes photography.
Seems like when he was a young young boy boy,
he already started to develop feeling for it.
Looked like professional photographer???
Nice Posing anyway!!!
Styaing Hotel, It is my little wish to spend all the time only with my hubby.
My most precious time, till now.
I have no house, no family in Singapore.
There is no "totally relaxing place" for me yet.
This time round, I happened to find "limited time offer"
at St.Regis Singapore.
surprised to have chance to stay this hotel, honestly speaking.
I liked Sofa & Bed a lot.
Corners got BOSE speaker. this speaker has own controller too.
We got some hints to our future house renovation images =P
We slept till pig. haha =P
St.Regis is known as their "Butler" service as 6 Star Luxury hotel.
Our Butler was quite nice guy (I thought maybe a lady, like Raffles Hotel)
You can use Singapore First touch VoIP phone to ask butler to serve tea or coffee anytime.
so, of course there is no coffee/tea, water boiling facility in the room.
A kind of "lack of privacy" also.
*VoIP Phone is so common in Japan for e years but Singapore is not common yet.
Anyway, We really enjoyed the stay.
if there is another promotion when I come back to Singapore next time,
I don't mind to stay again.
Morning, have a cup of "TWG" tea.
