Christmas Menu at Elemen Restaurant

Recently I had Santa-Licious Christmas 8-course meal at  Elemen Restautant Millennial Walk. There are some delicious dishes and some disappointing dishes. I'm quite disappointed with the cold pasta and cold and thick tortilla skin for the caesar salad. Maybe I will to Paya Lebar Quarter Elemen to try the Santa-Licious meal again. It would be good if I can the cold pasta to truffle ramen. 

To my surprise, this creamy pasta is cold. I'm not a fan of cold pasta. 

 Appetiser. I find the watermelon with balsamic dressing quite interesting. 

 Unfortunately this baked tortilla skin is not crispy. It taste kinda like our Chinese butterfly bun thick dough. I love the caesar salad but not the baked tortilla skin.

 This thick potato and mushroom soup is not bad.

 Cranberry sorbet is refreshing sweet.

 Fried Portobello mushroom with asparagus 

 I love this crispy portobello mushroom. It reminds me of shake shack mushroom burger.

 Raspberry red velvet log cake with strawberry has firm texture unlike some of the soft sponge texture which I don't fancy.

 The secret fruit tea comes with a watermelon cube.

Christmas Decorations in Singapore Orchard Road 2019

I love late November and December in Singapore as beautiful dazzling Christmas decoration lighting will adorn the streets and shopping malls in Singapore Orchard Road. I love the festive feel at Orchard Road though I'm not a Christian. For the past few nights in Singapore, temperature is also cool at about 25 degrees Celsius and I really love the cool weather. 

This year I decided not to travel and just stay put in Singapore and explore various attractions here like Sky luge, Gardens by the Bay, National Gallery of Singapore, Botanic Gardens and other places. Oh and going to karaoke to sing my heart out! I had been travelling since 2011 and this year I just want to stay put in Singapore perhaps due to fatigue from travelling for the past few years. Maybe next year, I will go to Taiwan again. 

Nearest MRT Station: Orchard MRT

                  I love Ion Orchard shopping mall Christmas decorations! How about you?

Paragon shopping mall also has impressive Christmas decorations.

Singapore Orchard Road are now adorned with Christmas lightings.

Lovely New #Vegetarian Dishes at Elemen Restaurant

I recently went to Elemen restaurant at Millenia Walk to try their new dishes and I must say I love their new dishes very much especially the dry truffle ramen and enoki bisque. I like lasagne but didn't try yesterday. For the 8 course set, I paid a total of $38.61 after including 10% service charge and 7% GST. As a member of Elemen, I enjoy 10% rebate.

Dry truffle ramen is yummy with fragrant truffle flat thick noodle and a half lava egg. I will order this in my next visit.

 I had Chocolate dome dessert again. I prefer chocolate lava cake but its not available at Millenia Walk.

 A small cup of apple cider to help in digestion

Enoki Bisque is really tasty and kinda taste like lobster bisque. I love this tasty soup with enoki.

Grilled mushroom and kale salad is really good for health.

Fresh watermelon and coconut juice

Rosemary bread sticks with raspberry yogurt sauce

The elements appetiser 

On Your Feet! Broadway Musical in Singapore 2020 June!

The most impulsive thing I ever done in my life so far is flying alone to New York to watch Jersey Boys Broadway musical in year 2011. It was money well spent as I enjoyed the trip to the arts and design museums and two other musicals like Wicked and Spider man, and went to Macy's Thanksgiving day parade. I love musical with catchy tune and dance. 

Now from 5 to 13 June 2020, Broadway musical, On Your Feet! broadway will be in Singapore Marina Bay Sands! I already brought front row seat to enjoy the musical as there is 15% early bird discount by 6 December. If you love Gloria Estefan's songs, you will like the musical.

Delicious and Crispy Tissue Cheese Prata

I love to eat roti prata but now its very rare to find crispy and tasty roti prata. Thankfully I found a good eatery at Srisun Express at Blk 407 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 where they serve great tissue roti prata. I don't find their roti prata awesome as it is not so crispy compare to the one I had many years ago. I think the signature dish there is tissue roti prata with cheese. I highly recommend it if you love crispy and tasty prata.

I like this tissue cheese prata($5.60) ! I highly recommend this delicious and crispy thin cheese prata which has tinge of sweet taste. It is quite tall and needs two plates. 

I also had the egg roti prata ($1.90).

 My friend had the Indian rojak filled with veggie and egg and I tried one piece.  

Coffee is quite good too.

They also serves cheese fries.

Time to Set Full Emergency Law in Hong Kong

I last visited Hong Kong in 2017, a beautiful country with world class Chinese cuisine and fun attractions. However now Hong Kong has degenerated into a violent and chaotic place where angry and irrational youths are running amok, burning and vandalising  public infrastructures like MTR, police station and blocking roads. Now they have blatantly set fire on a man who just shouted that they are all not Chinese. I spoke Mandarin and some service staff were not so friendly. 

Carrie Lam should just implement full emergency law by setting curfew now. She must not sit by idly and just depend on the hardworking police officers. 

May there be peace in Hong Kong soon. 

Tim Sebastian who used to interview our former Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew is now working at DW's Conflict Zone interviewing this delusional protester. Great interview by Tim Sebastian who has conscience compared to the cold-hearted protester. The interviewee claimed that the government forced them to commit violent act. She is like a spoiled child crying that its your fault for not buying toy for them that's why they are crying and throwing things. This lady don't know what she is talking about.She is full of contradiction. They are blatantly breaking the law, vandalising, rioting and attacking policemen. Where is the rule of law if those rioters are not punished by the rule of law? Its time for them to take responsibility for their actions. She has been believing the wrong things. She was just mumbling and not able to explain and justify their actions. 

Can't help but compare Tim Sebastian interview with Singapore former Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Mr Sebastian has shown tremendous improvement in the recent interview!

Violent rioter set a man on fire for saying that they are not Chinese people.

Meatless Choices at Crystal Jade Kitchen

After spending most of the time in bookshop yesterday, I had dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen at Ngee Ann City. The meal costs $32 after including 10% service charge and 7% GST. Quite pricey.  Hmm but I like the deep fried fresh milk curd and the ee-foo noodle was quite tasty. 

Braised ee-foo noodle with porcini mushroom and truffle ($16.80)

Deep fried fresh milk curd ($6.80)

Honey lemon ($3.20)

Enjoying the Day at Bookshop

Yesterday I spent about four hours in the bookshop in Orchard road browsing the latest magazines and books. Time flies so fast when you are engrossed in your favourite activity. I wanted to stay on to read but it was already 8.40pm and I hadn't had dinner yet. 

I brought my favourite magazines Daphne's diary and Home decor magazine. 

This is my favourite section in the bookshop.

I also like Flow magazine but it is quite expensive at about $29.
