Long weekened and Makan !!!

Last Saturday could not wake up in the wee morning to join Kai to cycle into JB. Then in the noon Jimmy called to meet. I went Parkway to cut hair and shopped for some groceries.

330pm met Kai and XX at Redhill MRT. XX gave me my belated birthday present. Thank you XX, so want me to wear and let you see? LOL !!! There we walked to Hyundai showroom and spent quite a while there and also test drive. Then we took a bus to Orchard.

Walked around then had dinner at Manhattan Fish Market as I yet to eaten there before. Man the queue was so long !!! Despite the long wait, i would like to commend for the excellent service by their staff. While we were queuing, the staff served us soft drinks comforting our anxiety. Been eaten at so many places, i yet to see such service. I would definitely eat at Manhattan more often.

Soon its our turn and was led to our seats. I took a look and menu and decided to order seafood platter for 3, as i was craving for that. XX ordered a soup and tea. While Jim and I decided to try their promotion drink.
Strawberry shake very sweet !!!
Green tea and mint shake. Mint taste over-whelmed the green tea.
Its here seafood platter for 3 : Prawns, Calamari, Fish, mushrooms, mussels, garlic rice and fries. Really worth it, the fish is fresh and sweet. Only complain the prawns not fresh. Do remember to ask them for the sour chili.

After dinner walked around as Jim wanna buy tie for work. Then XX took the NEL home, while as usual Jim accompanied me back taking bus 7. But this may no longer be the same ...

The next day no soccer again, sianz ... I wanted to visit my cousin but was informed he bringing his family to go swimming. Then he msn me whether we would like to have dinner tonight. I replied ok. So all of us just laze around till 530pm where we prepared to leave for dinner.

Soon my cousin came and fetch us for dinner. I suggested to eat crabs as my mum and sister loved crabs. Then he recommended a stall famous for its crab dishes.
We were seated infront overlooking the counter where the dishes are delivered from the kitchen. A rare sight to see so many crab shells decorated by satisfied customers.
Their menu showing their specialty dishes. Since here is famous for crabs, order the 2 crab dishes inside. Crab Beehoon Soup and Salty Egg Crabs.

This plain looking Crab Beehoon soup looked harmless. But when you drink the soup, I tell you the taste is heavenly with all the crab essence inside the broth. YOU MUST TRY IT!!!

The next day was public holiday. I asked my mum whether she wanted to visit my auntie. She said ok but wanted to buy something first. We went to Balestier to buy roast duck and my favourite tau sar piah. Then we headed for my auntie's home. There chatted, watched tv and ate the roast duck. The duck is roasted rather unique as it looked more like white chicken towards yellow rather than the usual red or brown colour. The owner gave us a fat duck and we really enjoyed snacking the meat. I love the sour chili.
