Food Review: O'nya Sayang

05:20

Hello All,

How are you doing?
I know it has been very long since I blogged.
I was so busy with revision. Prelims have finally ended. Now i am preparing for my revision classes! Can you believe that it is mid of March already?!

Well, today, i am going to share with you guys my experience on Peranakan Food.

Last Saturday, Mr. Roar and I just happened to pass by Paya Lebar new shopping mall and decided to go for lunch before heading to OneKM Shopping Mall to get our hamsters. So yes, we found this Peranakan Restaurant.

Ms Moo is a big fan of Peranakan Food, especially the ones in Melaka. So when we came to this restaurant, I think it is so nice! Clean, but yet it has a strong taste of Peranakan style. They are even playing traditional music!

And GUESS WHAT?! This restaurant was one of the vendor for one of the show that I was hosting the very next day! So here is their introduction:

O'nya Sayang means "Love of a Peranakan Mother". This restaurant offers authentic Peranakan food at affordable price. Their heritage is genuine Peranakan, with founder and chef, Zan Ho, a third-generation, who grew up in a traditional Peranakan family, and enjoyed authentic Peranakan food throughout his life. Over the years, Zan has learnt his craft from his mother, as she lovingly taught him to make authentic Peranakan dishes including the Peranakan favourites Ayam Buah Keluak, Babi Pongteh and many other popular dishes.

This is how it looks like from the outside... Looks pretty good~

I would really say that this place is simple, yet it shows a lot about Peranakan. I enjoy eating in a bright looking restaurant rather than a dim dull restaurant.

And they have a HUGE Logo on the wall. I was so impressed with the white butterfly!

Okay.. Lets talk about the food.. So here is the menu and what we ordered.

We have NO IDEA what to eat. So we decided to give this a try.. And it is super affordable for 2 pax.

We even ordered drinks. Yes, I know the kopi looks a bit cheapo. But they actually came over and say they would like to top it up after seeing it so little. How nice!

AND our food is finally here!!

As Mr. Roar is a non-beef eater, so my job is to finish the beef dish. (Top Second, from the right)

I would say the beef is very good. The texture of the meat is very food. Is not fully well-done type.. So it is quite of my likings.

Top Right one is SUPER NICE! Mr. Roar say it is Wu Xiang. Super crispy.. YUM!

Bottom Middle is Assam Fish. I wouldnt say it is not nice, but it is too sour for my preference.

The rest are pretty good. Of course not as good as the ones that we had in Melaka. But we like it a lot!

And guess what?! Their restaurant actually provide CAKES TOO!! This dont really happen in most Peranakan Restaurant. But this restaurant actually took in more variety.

This is how it looks like when you see from outside. Super nice place. And many people start streaming in during lunch time.

Mr. Roar while he is checking the bill.

They have Kueh too!

Mr. Roar and I definitely enjoyed our lunch in O'nya Sayang and we will definitely go back.

I wouldnt wanna give rating for this one. But I would like to give a huge THUMB UP for the staff in the restaurant whereby they take initiatives to explain the dishes and even offer to top up when they realise they gave too little. Not like those cheapo restaurant.. OPPS..

My Valentine Day

18:46

Hello Everyone!
Happy Monday!

I hope everyone enjoyed your weekend well especially when it is Valentine's Day on Saturday!
How did your Valentine's Day go?

For me, I enjoyed very much with Mr. Roar with a simple day.
Both Mr. Roar and I disliked crowds, queuing for restaurant and etc. We both loved to take our weekend slow and relaxing because our weekdays have been too hectic and tiring.

So on that very special day, I went down to his place while he prepare the simple Valentine lunch.
I am happy and glad that he is willing to do something for me, although he isn't a very good cook.. (SHH.. dont let him know)

He knows that I love prawn, he specially went to buy prawns for me.

He knows that I love to eat 凉拌菜, he specially went to buy it for me too.

Basically everything on the table was my favourite.

Sometimes you will wonder, what is love, and what is it to be in a relationship?

For me, I dont need big flowers, expensive restuarants, even a home-cooked meal by him with all my favourite dishes is more than enough. We even managed to catch some drama and movies while eating our lunch.

Well, the whole afternoon was about drama, and I even had a nap while he go busy with the contractor in his place in painting the rooms.

After that we decided to go for dinner.. And guess what? Something I like to eat too! 126 温到食

皮蛋瘦肉粥

Sugar Cane Juice

纸包鸡

烧卖

虾饺

Everything is up

With a satisfying look..

Yumm..

Usually there are lots of people queuing at 126. But fortunately when we go there at 7.30pm, it is pretty empty. I suppose most of them went town or something to celebrate --- luckily us!

We had our dinner, and then we walked from Geyland to Bugis. On the way, we joked, we chat, we had hell lots of fun.

What can I ask for more? A guy who pampers you and treats you like a princess. I am happy to have you with me.. And I am thankful for everyday to have you.

Happy V day people once again.

For those we are single, dont worry. One day, you will find someone who loves you.

Cheers!

Ah Chew Dessert

Date Out on a Saturday

19:59

Hello everyone!
How was your Saturday going? I hope everyone enjoyed your weekends.
For me and Mr. Roar, we decided to take a break from all the studies and all the stress.

So we decided to go CHINATOWN!

There were TOO MANY PEOPLE! - tourist, locals, students walking around Chinatown to feel the Chinese New Year spirit. SO CROWDED till the extend that I dont have the hands to rise up to take a photo!! OH NO! Furthermore, the weather yesterday was sooooooo BAD!

We wanted to have a good lunch in Chinatown, but it is too crowded till Mr. Roar can't take it. So we decided to go to the nearest place to eat. --- Lau Pa Sat (Telok Ayer Market)

Telok Ayer Market, also known as 老巴刹 to all Singaporeans, is a historic building in Singapore, and is located in Downtown Core within the Central Area, Singapore's central business district. It is currently a food centre. There are lots of awesome local food here in this market - Yong Tau Foo, Noodles, Zi Char and etc. From what I remember, Lau Pa Sat used to have this SUPER AWESOME SATAY!! But it is only opened at night, so we had to take whatever was opened at the moment.

This is the new look of Lau Pa Sat:

Did you spot something that you used to enjoy before the Lau Pa Sat renovation?

This place even have bells ringing idk, maybe every 15 mins? It made me feel like I am in Church! haha..

And to follow the trend, they even have cakes!!

Looks super tempting..!!

And we had these: TADA!

SUGAR CANE JUICE is a MUST if you are eating local hawker food.

HAO JIAN - It has a combination of Oyster and Egg fried with Starch. With the chilli sauce, it is super good. But this small bit of it cost $5 though. But yes, it is nice.

My personal favourite - BBQ Stingray!

Sadly, Mr. Roar asked for lesser chilli which ended up made me stare at him for super long. This BBQ Stingray only taste good with LOTS.. AND.. LOTS of SAMBA CHILLI!

Kang Kong also known as 马来风光

I personally think that the chef didnt cook it well. It taste okay, but it is a little too hard at the stem area. Oh wells.

But nevertheless, we had a SUPER GOOD LUNCH.. This lunch cost the both of us about $30 or maybe slightly more. But during weekend, this place is windy, not crowded and also there are lots of table! It is quiet too. We sat there for like almost an hour chatting about anything under the sun before we head back off to other places.

On the way back to Chinatown (we walked back), we managed to see something super interesting.

The back of the building with LOTS and LOTS of aircon. Mr. Roar even joked that the left side is tendered by someone who has not gone for National Service (NS), and the right side is tendered by someone who has attended NS. HAHAHA. We instantly break into laughter.

After Chinatown trip, we decided to go Bugis, because I heard that there was a sales for all sports shoes in Bugis +. So, we decided to go there and take a look. But sadly, the price is still so high for those shoes like Nike and Adidas. So we decided to go off for a dessert because we have walked TOO MUCH in the morning. So we decided to go for a rest at our favourite dessert place.

AH CHEW DESSERTS!

There is always a queue outside because there is ALWAYS Full house..

Of course, we managed to get our table.

And I had Mango Sago with Pomelo with Vanilla Icecream! My Usual & Mr. Roar decided to have mango sago instead.

Dont ask me why I like this, I just love it.. LOL

Us while waiting for our table...

For those who love Ah Chews, they put a sign out here..

THEY HAVE AN MOBILE WEBSITE! This is what I am calling, following the trend man.. This makes more customers love coming to this place!

After our stay in Ah Chew, we decided to go somewhere else. Everywhere is FILLED with people on a Saturday. So we decided to go to IMM to shop for my sports shoes.

They are currently having a super good offer for all sports shoes, guys or girls.

I bought an Adidas ones, at 84 plus. Original price at 140+. I will take a photo and show you people soon.

Mr. Roar bought his at $39. Original price at $80+..

Super good deal right? YES IKR!

And after our shopping, we went to Timberland because Mr. Roar wanted a Cargo Pants for super long. And yes, they are having GREAT SALES TOO!! I love CNY!

Anyway, IMM is a factory outlet, so the price is usually cheaper than outside. So if you are looking for clothes, jeans, branded bags, you can go IMM for factory price.

We ended up had Ichiban Sushi for dinner.

Sushi are mine. We had more than that.. but i didnt continue to take photos because the rest is quite normal. But those 2 above:

Cheese Delight and Bacon are the special ones and yet taste super good. The Cheese Delight melts in your mouth and Bacon is newly fried and place on top with mayonnaise. It taste SUPERB.

Mr Roar's - He always love set meal so he can be full after that.

In the end, the waitress recommended us to take this:

Brownie Icecream. I can say it is super nice. But I would really prefer the icecream to be above the brownie so that the taste is mixed together, Hot and Cold. With it being separated, we had to manually do it, which isnt very practical. But we still enjoyed our dinner there.

I would specially want to recommend Ichiban Sushi at IMM because their service is really good, esp a waitress name Lina. I think she really served with passion and she is really kind to make any recommendation. I dont see lots of waitress or waiter doing this lately anymore. Will definitely go back.

Selfie before I say GOOD BYE!

Anyway, both Mr. Roar and I enjoyed the day super much because we had lots of laughter and joy. We enjoyed each other's accompany. We even walked from Jurong East back to Lakeside. HAHA!

Hope that you enjoyed yourself too.

My dearest girl's wink!

Happy Sunday~

Cheers

Travel Diary: Wenzhou Trip (Day 1)

05:07

Hello everyone,

I just got back from my Wenzhou business trip this morning. FINALLY! I can get accessed to blog and facebook, twitter, instagram.. OMG...

So i would like to share a bit of my trip in terms of food and all. This time, Ms. Moo is in Wenzhou for business trip. I am attending an inspection on behalf of my father. So here it goes!

This time, Ms. Moo took China Eastern Airlines. It wasn't the best airline to take with but definitely the cheapest option for direct flight to Shanghai. I have a bad experience with them, which i will share in a different post.

Here is the inflight meal. I would say the taste is blek.. Dont expect much for their inflight food. And also, for this flight, there is no inflight entertainment. So Ms. Moo went to sleep on an empty 3 seated row.. MUHAHA!

So finally I arrived at Shanghai, I had to rush to Hongqiao Train Terminal for my train to Wenzhou. The trip is around 4-5 hrs. And i spent the whole journey sleeping.. Yes, I am in first class cabin.

The person-in-charge of the company came to fetch me and my co-worker from the train station and then we head off for dinner (it is 4pm at that time and factory end work at 5pm, so no point going to factory)
