(The crazy girls are back for another edition of Crazy Xmas, but this time, the boys stole the show. Sebastian Tan is always better in short 10 minutes doses..he did Frosty the snowman with a belly full of laughter. And Kumar is as usual, the star of the evening. All in all, it was a laugh-a-minute show, and it was good to see the DimSum Dollies whole again, with Denise Tan filling in the big shoes of Emma)
(Better than any roast suckling pig, Chinese style, this Spanish suckling pig is simply delicious. We got a real kick from it the first time ever when we were in Segovia, Spain..and we were hooked! We said we will surely check this dish out again in Singapore, and sure enough, this version at Serenity Restaurant did not disappoint. They even allow for the 'plate-throwing-breaking' stunt which brings good luck, if your order the whole pig. But a quarter was just nice for 2. Yum! )
(Whenever the hunger pangs build up and the peranakan girl in me shouts for comfort food, I head to the Peranakan Inn at Katong. The grilled fish with a sliver of chili paste is simply heavenly. Add the babi buah keluak, sotong with long beans and the chap chye, it is a perfect meal for two. And all these for less than $50..surely, the best value-for-money quality Peranakan restaurant in town. Just sitting in the restaurant with the owner's large matriarch photo on the wall brings back a ton of childhood memories. What a gem!)
(Took to the big stage this year by being the emcee for my children's annual graduation concert at the NTUC Auditorium, in front of a 430 strong audience. Nerve wrecking at first, but I delivered it like a pro. In fact, as the evening went on, I felt a tinge of sadness that the concert was about to be over, not realizing that I had successfully MC-ed my first ever event on a big stage. Yes, it's an experience for life! I feel like I have scaled a huge mountain today)
