Thai Food, Merely Ice Cream, Wan Dou Sek (126)

Yesterday: Met up with my aunt during lunch break! Kinda glad that my workplace is near her area as well! Had some random Thai Food from Sunshine Plaza, honestly speaking I still feel that The Foundry's Thai food is much better, but of course the price differs.

Aunt ordered Pineapple fried rice ($5).

Tried a mouth and feel that it's not up to the standard. It simply tasted like normal fried rice with no strong pineapple fragrance. Not recommended.

Yes expected right? I ordered Pad Thai again ($5). I only choose Pad Thai whenever it comes to Thai dining. 

Tasted normal, much better compared to Pineapple Fried Rice. Not recommended as well, THAI FOOD LOVERS PLEASE VISIT THE FOUNDRY AT MOHD SULTAN ROAD!!!

& What's Thai dining without Mango Stick Rice ($4)?! The portion is little. Oh well, why do I keep on comparing with that awesome Thai restaurant. I'M TOO BIAS PLEASE IGNORE MY COMMENTS :(

Whilst walking back after our so-so meal, I chanced upon an ice cream shop named "Merely Ice Cream". I'm somebody who loves to try out cafe-themed Ice Cream shop, even if the name is unfamiliar to me. Ice cream makes me happy! & I am always on the look out for Nutella or Horlicks flavoured. YES, I BOUGHT THEIR HORLICKS PANDA!

Imagine having this big scoop of ice cream in such a weather....

How sunny! I had to hide in the shade of a building while waiting for the traffic light. I sincerely salute these people standing under the sun. Either they wanna get tanned or their skin is doubly thick.

Why is it called Horlicks Panda?

Panda = HELLO PANDA!!! What a creative mixture!

They have other flavours that changes daily. Yesterday (Wednesday) the available flavours are: Horlicks Panda, Milo Fudge, Dark Chocolate, Peppermint Mocha, Oreo Milk, Peanut Butter, Cereal Milk, Breakfast Cereal.

According to their website, they have other flavours like: Red Velvet Cake, Hazelnut Kitkat, Bailey's Coffee, Blueberry, Salted Butterscotch, Gula Pandan, Chocolate (a bit mainstream), Zesty Lemon, Tiramisu, Mocca, Green Tea, Chocolate Stout, Rum & Raisin, Coconut, Madagascar Vanilla, Strawberry (mainstream also) & Banana Walnut!

Here are some of the pictures from their website! (credit doesn't belong to me)

Red Velvet Cake! I WANNA TRY THIS! JY knows that Red Velvet is my favourite! Yumyum!

Blueberry! The colour is really nice & thick.

Banana Walnut!

& Hazelnut KitKat, instead of the usual Kitkat ice cream flavoured you see along the street.

I think I really sound like their advertiser, omg PLEASE GIVE ME REMUNERATION FOR THIS POST HAHAHA. If you're enquiring about the price, 

One Scoop: $3.30

Double Scoop: $5.60

I didn't bother to remember the rest of the prices like Triple Scoop, Waffles, etc.

Somebody tell me why am I exploring more interesting/good food places near my workplace. I'm growing fatter. Help. (The power of food/dessert) *cries*

Had Wan Dou Sek for dinner together with JY! Yes, everyday jiak ho liao (eat good food), FAT PLUS BROKE. It doesn't really matter even though I do whine about my fats and figure, because I know I enjoyed my life to the fullest! Anyway I was still pretty full due to my heavy lunch, I did not order much @ 126! Restricted JY from eating like a glutton, our bill is less than S$20!

Fried Chicken Wing! ($4)

Har Gao! ($3.20)

Swee Choon's Har Gao is still the best! Their Har Gao is filled with KING PRAWNS & it's very juicy!

Siew Mai! ($3.50)

They have different type of Siew Mai available, like scallops or king prawn instead of the usual prawn but definitely the price differs as well. Yes, I feel that their Siew Mai is better than Tim Ho Wan's!

Vermicelli Roll with Char Siew ($3.50).

Their sauce is the bomb! I dipped my chicken wings, har gao, siew mai with the sauce before eating. Trust me, you'll never go wrong with their Vermicelli Roll sauce.

******************************************************

Received my EOS lip balm ($4.90) bought from Gmarket! Loving it, the lip balm looks damn cute!

Reward received from JY! Yes, this is a reward, not gift.

Currently, both JY & I have come up with an agreement related to my Internship. Due to my previous Internship experience (failed), he made a deal with me. What's the agreement? For every month I complete (without visible tears), he'll reward me with an item <$S$30.00. It can be purchased online as well, he'll just hand me the money & I'll do all the necessary stuff. Since my Internship period lasts 5 months, I'll be getting 5 items from him! YAY I THINK HE IS THE SWEETEST GUY IN THE WORLD. Resorting to this all because he wants me to successfully graduate from SP, & doesn't hope to see me retain again. 

P.S. I've already thought of what to purchase for next month! 

Best innovative boyfriend award goes to Lin Jian Yang! :)

S. Lumpy & I love you deep deep!

Uniqlo UT POP-UP

Uniqlo develops pop-up stores under the name of UT POP-UP! in 2013. It starts from Shibuya, Tokyo where the world's biggest UT store is set up. Stores will open in NY, Paris, London, Singapore and more. 

Besides celebrating 10 years of UT tee-shirt collaborations, Uniqlo POP-UP store also feature performances by Singapore musicians and the works of local artists. 

*****************************************

My brother signed up for this UT POP-UP event & he was entitled to a free goody bag! Love the bag design but I forgot to snap a photo of it. So what exactly is this event? It is a celebration of a decade of UT (Uniqlo Graphic T-shirts) styling. 

Honestly speaking the location is kinda "ulu", but my brother is lucky to have a sister like me. Why? because my previous internship workplace is at Mohd Sultan! Mum & bro came to fetch me @ Bugis yesterday after my half-day work ended. Working on a Saturday is really a mental torture.. Time isn't moving at all for me. I just showed my face & knocked off in less than 4 hours. 

We had Thai food for lunch & the place is kinda confusing, because there are many signboards around! So i can't be sure what's the exact name of the restaurant. It should either be The Burger Office or The Foundry. 

I love their Thai food! Although the prices are SLIGHTLY affordable, there's no hidden GST and/or service charge, so all the prices stated in their menu are NETT. 

Absolutely an all-time Pad Thai lover! Their Pad Thai is even better than the ones I had in BKK! This is $8 & a tom-yam soup is included in every meal. 

My greedy brother tried the Green Curry Fried Rice right after he was served. Yes, this is the tom-yam soup I mentioned earlier. This cost $8 as well.

My mum had Mango Sticky Rice @ $6. The coconut milk and mango goes well together! 

With mummy :)

Asked them for their feedback & they said it is great, worth coming again. YES! I'll be coming again whenever I crave for Pad Thai! I'm not helping them to advertise but their Pad Thai is really a MUST-TRY if you are a hardcore lover of Thai food! However, here's a tip if you are planning to dine in @ this restaurant: Prepare a water bottle for yourself because their drinks menu is overpriced TBH. 1 can of soft drink actually cost $3, when I can buy ~3 cans at supermarket. HAHAHA aunty side revealing again but it's really very expensive when it comes to beverage, so either you bring your own plain water or quench your thirst with the soup provided.

We headed to the UT POP-UP store aftermath & the crowd is pretty huge!

We were spoilt for choices because there's a lot of racks filled with their new-in design. They look promising but I was on pretty tight budget so.. I didn't purchase any. 

This is their 2nd storey & we had to queue in order to arrive here okay... So you can predict the number of people in this building.

Here are some of the designs! Pretty different compared to the Uniqlo retail stores you can find in certain shopping malls. 

And on the ground floor...

This design attracts everybody's attention lor!!! Damn nice when the lighting is shining all over~ 

The front entrance view

Look at our personalised badge! NICE RIGHT, it would be great with cliques la but i'm fine with my Bro & Mum!

We had to wear their UT clothes, the staff will take photo for this badge, and there's another crew taking moving protraits for us via UT CAMERA application which will be available on their website. OMG I SAW OUR MOVING PROTRAITS AND I LOOK LIKE.... *close eyes* 

For more info, visit utpopup.com.sg & ut.uniqlo.com to browse everybody's moving protraits!

Today is Sunday, aka Pre-Monday blues. Seriously why does time pass so fast when we're enjoying life? Back to work tomorrow x.x
