Sentosa Island - Under Water World Singapore

After the tiring trip trekking at the Jungle, we headed over to one of their famous spot in the itenery - Under Water World where you get to experiece a whole new world under the water. :)

I simply love visiting Aquariums looking at assorted sea creatures and fishes of all kinds.

Underwater World Singapore, situated on Sentosa Island of Singapore, is a unique and well-known oceanarium showcasing some 2500 marine life from 250 species from around the regions and is extremely popular with all our visitors for providing fun, leisure and educational experiences.

I can't remember the name... weird looking fish that didn't move much... LOL!

Be greeted next by brightly colored corals and exotic ocean dwellers (including moray eels, sea dragons and jelly fishes) before you embark on a spectacular underwater journey through our 83-metre-long moving travelator with a tunnel housing the majestic rays, fearsome sharks, great shoals of other fishes and a host of other creatures that inhabit the ocean depths.

Vegetarian Delicacies @ Yishensu, 1 Utama

The Yishensu Vegetarian Restaurants (Yishen Vegetarian Food Restaurant), located in the heart of Kampar town, Perak, Malaysia, has quickly become one of the favourite dining traditions for vegetarians since it opened in 1989. The restaurant serves authentic vegetarian cuisines ranges from Western to Eastern style of cooking and preparations.

They added the latest franchise at the 1 Utama shopping mall, situated at the old wing just opposite Burger King and TGIF. As you know, vegetarian food are never cheap, in fact they're even more expensive than "real" chinese food. LOL!

Anyway I went there for a family dinner since it was 15th of the month and my mum usually goes on vegetarian on every 1st and 15th on the Chinese calendar.

Little Taiwan - Avenue K

A tiring weekend GONE and it's Tuesday already - having to face the reality and it's back to work one again. Singapore was great and getting to meet up with some old friends during the weekends was a fantastic breakaway from work. We've visited Sentosa island and had some food spree around, I'll blog about that later. :)

4 days and counting to my journey up to Mount Kinabalu. I think I'm both mentally and physically NOT ready! gosh....

Having to work at KLCC for almost 2 years, we've scratched our heads many times thinking what to eat during lunch break or dinner after work.

Aside from our usual eating place at Kim Gary, there was a latest addition to the food family at Avenue K called Little Taiwan. There is a similar franchise opened at Mid Valley too.

Never have I been to Taiwan but I heard sooo much about Taiwan street snacks and famous braised noodles. Hence we did a little tour around and tried out what Little Taiwan has to offer.

Little Taiwan is situated at the G floor, opposite Kim Gary Beyond

Wall of yummy FOOD!
