星仔(香港)臭豆腐

I went to 星仔(香港)臭豆腐 for dinner over the weekend. It has been quite some time since I last went there. I was never fascinated with 臭豆腐 at all so naturally I won't purposely go there for dinner unless someone proposed to.

I still remember 星仔(香港)臭豆腐 has the smelliest 臭豆腐 I had ever smell before in Singapore. Not that there's a lot of places selling 臭豆腐 in Singapore. The only other place that I know is 蓬莱阁. So it's not a very fair comparison also. :P

Anyway, since I was already there, I decided to try the 臭豆腐 again to see if it is really as yummy as what everyone says... Or if it is still as yucky as I remembered it to be...

The 臭豆腐 does not smell as bad as what I remembered it to be. The taste was ok, still acceptable. The only thing is that I find it quite expensive. I vaguely remember that it cost $2 for a piece of 臭豆腐. That's quite expensive for such a small piece of toufu...

The food there is not bad but I will think twice about visiting this place again because of the price... :P


Job Interview?

I am thinking whether I should go and apply for other jobs. Haha... The job market has been picking up and there are some jobs that I am kind of interested in. Maybe it's time for me to do something about staying inside my comfort zone...

India

Damn! I am asked to go to Pune, India. For what purpose? I honestly have no idea at all. I HOPE it won't be as bad as I thought... I am already cursing and swearing at the flight timing now because Singapore does not have any direct flight to Pune. So I will be required to do a transit. The transit timing is ridiculous. I have to wait for at least 6 hours before my next flight. In the end, I decided to fly in on Sunday evening and stay overnight at Mumbai so that I can catch the morning flight to Pune. The only problem is I will arrive in Mumbai only at 11pm. Not a very favorable timing if you ask me. :S For my return flight, I decide to just wait for my next flight at the airport. I wonder how am I going to spend that 6 hours... If only Mumbai airport is as nice as Changi airport. Sigh...

Wake Up!

It's time to wake up from my dreams and face the reality. 2 years have been long enough. Time to move on...

ShenZhen & HK trip 2010

I reached ShenZhen on 22 May. I was there on a Sat even though I only need to be there for work on Monday. Since I had not been to ShenZhen before and I have a friend who will be there at the same time, I decided to fly in on Saturday. :P It is to be a short break for me also I guess...

I got in only on Sat evening. I checked into the hotel then walk down to the 东门步行街 to hunt for some dinner. ShenZhen's 东门步行街 reminds me a little of Shenyang... The following day, I met up with my friend and her husband for breakfast then went down to the wholesale center at 东门步行街. It was a whole new experience to me. Very interesting experience indeed...

I started 'work' on Monday. There was really nothing much for me to do for work. :P I went down to the exhibition hall with the marketing girl to settle some stuff for the tradeshow. After that it was R&R liao. lol... We went shopping, followed by dinner then back to the hotel. I LOVE my hotel room. It was really nice. I can even watch the tv while inside the bathtub. :P It has a view of 世界之窗. It is just too bad that I couldn't find time to visit it. :(

The very nice hotel room!

世界之窗

I went over to HK on Friday. Almost got withdrawal symptoms from the change of hotel. lol... I stayed in a budget hotel when I was in HK. So imagine moving from Westin ShenZhen to a budget hotel in HK? It's like falling into hell from heaven. lol... Since I figured that I won't be staying in my hotel room much, I decided to save some money and stay in a budget hotel. The room was ok but it has a great location. The only downside of this budget hotel is that I have to lug my luggage up a flight of stairs before I have access to the escalator. I am glad I can still managed my slightly less than 20kg luggage. lol...

Super small hotel room in HK

This was the first time that I went to HK. HK is a very vibrant city. I we We did not do anything much other than shopping. Weather was bad too as it was raining when I wanted to go Avenue of Stars. :( I think I will be back to HK again one of the days... :)

HK & ShenZhen

I'm currently heading back to HKIA after shopping at CityGate. There's a lot of shops there. Just that the things are over my budget. I saw some shirts fr Guess that I will love to have but after weighing how much it will cost vs how often I will wear them, I decided not to buy it. I didn't buy a lot of things. Just 1 spag top and a belt from Espirit.

It took me a couple of hours before I crossed the border and reached the hotel. I reached the hotel only at 7+. I was supposed to meet Tracy for dinner but I can hear how tired she sounded on the phone after a day of photo shoot so I told her to stay home and rest.
I walked from the hotel to DongMen Bu Xing Jie. It's not very far. Around 10 to 15 mins walk. I grabbed a simple dinner there. DongMen Bu Xing Jie reminded me of Shenyang's Bu Xing Jie. I saw this top that I like very much! However, it cost a crazy price of SGD70+ after conversion! I wonder jow many people in ShenZhen can afford that price... After walking around for a while, I went back to the hotel. I didn't want to stay out until too late as I heard it's not very safe here.

So tiring
