Somehere in the distant past, after an indulgent holiday with the body and mind fully recharged, a dome drink beckons me near a the airport terminal.

Thoughts of ageing the wine in the midst of the lush and dark storeroom cellar of sun-drenched HDB storeroom and finally presenting it to my future wife - seems priceless for the future...

04 Sep 2011 - after the birth of Matthias, the vintage Dome of 10+ years was remembered and presented - it was drunk without the passion and majestic moments as i had imagined years back...

This set the impetus of the cells in the main conrol center racing.... its time to capture all my memories and experiences crafted up there in the form of a blog so that it can be part of the distant memories even though some things can never be much appreciated or so as one may think...

Tea Review

 Imagine getting to drink something full of anti-oxidants and vitamins that will greatly benefit your body. Imagine that your thirst are greatly soothe after having such drinks. Well, the subject matter will be tea and the old adage that you are what you eat may seem downright elementary but is often ignored in our fast paced society.
So, take time off to enjoy a cup of tea that is full of beneficiary properties to the body. A tin of nice-looking tea was given as a gift and time for the sampling to reveal the taste. They are delicious and stimulating, because there is a constant aromatic newness in the streams of oolong but it has a weak body and highly represented by the light green colour of the drink. Taste review - 3.5/5.

Well, have some tea they say and you will be cleansed, relaxed and ready to take on the new destination. Cheers to good health and thanks Aunt Debbie for the tea...

Dim Sum

Dim sum refers to a Chinese style prepared as small bite-sized or individual portions of food traditionally served in small steamer baskets or on small plates. And as a continuation of the post birthday celebration, mum treated us to dim sum buffet.

 Jellied pork skin and BBQ chicken wings
 
 

 Sesame bao and chive dumplings
 
 Xiao long bao and prawn dumplings




 Durian beard and desserts

Each dishes is so unique and when it comes to choosing, take everything to sample as long as your stomach can bag all the ordered food. The food is good and most importantly, it is cheap!! about $16.80/pax.

Had cravings for buffet for months and this bout of food gorging definitely left me satisfied. Guess it has assisted me in regaining and maintaining my balance in the following months to come without buffet....

 
Shantou buffet - must try!! but please remember to make booking for it is always full house. We went on a weekday afternoon thinking that it will be empty. OMG.... We are wrong...the restaurant is packed to the brimmed and make us wonder why- aren't these people working on a weekday afternoon?
