Tung Lok Private Dining @OUE Building

 

Having a father that is a loyal supporter of Tung Lok Group means most of our family dinner is held at Tung Lok Restaurant.

 

Here we are trying out at the Tung Lok Private Dining. If you had been to Fulleraton Bay Hotel and see a space ship look alike building...that is Tung Lok Private Restuarant Building... Only two level in the builing.

 

There is no ala-carte menu here for you to choose...only set menu and the set menu changes every now and then. There is two storey in the restaurant, the highest level of the restaurant is a revolving one...you get to see the scenery of MBS, Fulleraton and CBD area...lolz

 

On the second level, is the private dinning room. Inside the dining room, there is KTV. Some of the bigger dinning room even had a sofa. Each room comes with a private balcony as well. For smokers to take a puff.

We set aside time to drop by a cat café during a short trip to Hong Kong last month.



Finding info on the café was pretty easy, so I wished was finding my way there.













This one managed to stay in this position the entire afternoon.











Then I wish we can have one or two cafés of this kind on our shores.

Imperial Steamboat @ TripleOne Sommerset

29.11.2012

To me friends can be categorized into 2 types. Type 1: Those who will drink and be merry with you. Type 2: Those who will go through hardships with you.

Yesterday I was very disturbed by a lady whom I have always regarded as a friend, although I had yet to categorize her. And then something happened and I was really hurt by the tonality and the words she used on me. Words that cut like a knife. She later on apologized to me via email. But I was already hurt and the damage had been done.

I hope that everyone will find friends whom they can go through hardships with. For it is through hardships that beautiful memories are created.

As upset as I was yesterday, because I had already promised Celeste, Gwen and Alvin to meet for dinner at Imperial Steamboat at Tripleone Somerset, I went ahead as planned.

Celeste and Gwen are my ex-colleagues and Alvin who used to be my ex-colleague is also Maggie’s primary school friend. The world is so small ya!

 

 

Gwen & Alvin

Celeste Chua – a very outspoken, witty and happy girl. I got to know her while on attachment as an intern at their department. And as a very outgoing girl, she took the initiative to approach me and offered me chocolates!

The sauces

 

Gwen – a simple and kind lady who is always ready to help. She left a very deep impression on me because a couple of years ago, Maggie wanted to take part in the Amazing Race but she had lost the receipt so she sought my help. I didn’t know Gwen then, but I wrote an email to her for help and without asking any questions, she readily agreed and even wished Maggie good luck in the Amazing Race. Till today, I am grateful for knowing her.

 

Alvin – Having travelled around the world as an ex- flight attendant, I always like to bug him for more inflight stories as it has always been my dream to fly for free. Alvin is known for getting away with things as he is so lovable. And till today, that hasn’t changed -- he still gets away with stuff! =)

 Gwen, Alvin, Celeste & Me

 

 The both of them are laughing at the lady who got bumped by manager for helping us to take photo.

Very yummy Beef

Very fresh fish slice

 Super fresh prawns

 

 Pork Belly

 

Chicken broth soup base

 

Total damage $199 for 4 pax

Verdict 4/5

The Courtyard @ Fullerton Hotel

Our quest for high tea continues with Fullerton Hotel. Although the high tea here is very popular (especially Japanese customers), but there are ample seats available and making a reservation 2 to 3 days in advance should not be a problem.



Although the high tea is situated within the courtyard, but the entire area is air-conditioned.


The menu. English Afternoon Tea here costs S$42, including a pot of tea.



We had the Alfonso tea, which was infused with mango and Mediterranean fruits and flowers. From TWG.



Presenting the English Afternoon Tea (portion for 2). Good thing about the afternoon tea here is that everything can be replenished again and again.



A selection of sweets and desserts



More sweets



English tea sandwiches. We really like the Otah sandwich a lot



More sandwiches. Love the black sesame cone with caviar.



Their famous homemade Kueh Lapis was indeed one of the best we tried. Comes with prunes.



Homemade Scones



Clotted Cream and Jam



More refilles of the caviar cones.
