International Gourmet Weekend

Tis past Friday was Good Friday... which is a public holiday... so had a long weekend... Good Friday is GOOD... haha... why can't they also have Good Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Good Week, Good Month etc?

Went to 木船民歌餐厅 on Friday... for those of u who duno, it juz moved to Grandlink Square at Paya Lebar... used to be at Clarke Quay area... they serve vietnamese food... which is not bad... plus they have singers who will sing your dedications... however, the new place is quite "lok kok"... and u may wana wait some time b4 visiting... they are obviously still in the midst of moving & things are in a mess... I waited more than 3 hours for my food & they still got my order wrong somemore... but the 老板娘 recognised their mistake & din charge me for the food plus treat me to a free drink... good service... so I was a free-loader tat day... except the $8 entry fee (inclusive of 1 free drink)...

Watched 10000 BC yesterday at cineleisure... had lunch at the 兴旺茶餐厅... hong kong cafe food... average standard... the movie is ok, not spectacular but tis type of show have to watch at cinema de... so no regret...

Yesterday dinner was at a italian restaurant at Prinsep Place (opp Paradiz Centre)... forgot the name of the restaurant (some italian name beginning with T)... food-wise some good some average... their seafood soup can be a main course due to its huge portion of seafood (mostly clams)... quite worthwhile for $10.90 (at 1st we tot it's quite exp for a soup but when we saw the amt of ingredients in it, changed our minds)... the pizzas were good, pastas not bad, their grilled meat not tat good (it's realli juz plain grilled meat, w/o much seasoning), dessert juz go for the tiramisu, the rest sux... dining at the restaurant will set u back around $40 plus per pax, which i tink is quite ok for an italian restaurant... we were initially worried the bill might end up like more than 100 per pax...

Hokkaido trip (more or less) confirmed... redang met with some hiccups... apparently I may end up sharing a room with 3 guys I duno... the 11-hour bus ride is another turn-off... now abit undecisive whether still wana go anot... hopefully the planning for the year-end trip to New Zealand (or Taiwan) will go smoother...
