HL wanted to try out Epicurious before school starts. :( and :) So me, Nicholas, HH and her met at Robertson Quay's branch to try out their dishes. Both me and Nic dressed in pink's shirt! HL almost wore pink shorts/skirt out too... And if HH also wore pink, that's a bit impossible le.
那麼巧咯……
免費蛋糕
Green Eggs and Ham ($14.60)：除了雞蛋有一些香葉味外，就沒什麼特別了
Baked Egg with Toast Soldiers ($14.60)：那碗雞蛋有香菇在裡面，好吃！
Monte Cristo ($15)：我喜歡這道～
Had Green Eggs and Ham ($14.60), Baked Egg with Toast Soldiers ($14.60), Monte Cristo ($15). Sadly no mushrooms liao, so they replaced with fries, which were normal IMO... Monte Cristo was nice, while the rest were so-so lo. Nothing worth commenting lol.
左：冰沙摩卡，右：巧克力橙奶昔：不錯的飲料！
摩卡拿鐵
粉色日！
Next, we moved to Kith Cafe nearby. Had chocolate orange milkshake ($6.50). The taste had the typical choco orange chocolate you can find in supermarkets. But, there's this malt-like thingy inside the drink and I could felt it. Overall it was a unique drink lo. The best part is no svc charge no GST! The mocha blended Nic had, the taste was so strong! OMG, no need sleep at night le.
Talked about the grad trip made me super excited! Want go Taiwan and Korea!!!
冰淇淋
Raspberry ice cream 不好吃的
有酒精！我喜歡！
After that Laurent Bernard Chocolatier, also nearby, for some chocolatety desserts! We had some soufflé and ice cream scoops (Price range about $11-15).
Witnessed some soufflé interesting actions - the French are good at making creamy stuff. LOL... The desserts were very nice! HH scooped the remaining chocolate soufflé, kzdg... Prefered the alcohol version one, very very very nice. Raspberry ice cream wasn't very nice, quite sour IMO...

健康 + 炸食，而且賣相不怎麼樣
Dinner settled at Javier's. OMG, withint a year(?), the price was raised $3, 真的有一點離譜。But anyway, had a rather healthy dinner (chose mainly veggies, tomatoes and bread) in contrast with HH's onion rings, hashbrowns ONLY.
Had some walks around Mandarin Gallery before we decided to rest some 5-10 mins at the 'bed' there. Lol.

哈哈！床沒有塌下來！
14 August Surprise farewell dinner for Nicholas
It was planned - we planned to give him a farewell dinner, but impromptu - because Nicholas suddenly can't make it for Sat's gathering.
So happened that Nicholas was around Jurong area, HL and HH 特地趕下來西部, we were able to 順手推舟 to have a surprise dinner for Nicholas.
Headed towards Haw Par Villa via the Circle Line. Oh my, HL still want to make joke like 'oh, we missed the Kent Ridge station, let's U-turn...', quite lame 有沒有？But anyway, I think Nicholas was caught off guard - he didn't know West Coast there lies 주신정 restaurant!
*The 娘娘 virus was spreading out without control! lol
The restaurant had chair seats and floor seats. We had no choice but to go for the floor seats because the chair seats were more popular (fully taken up). Have to 跪著 when eating lo.

반찬
김치전 + 해물파전
불닭: 樣似焗飯，而且蠻油的
Had 김치전 ($20), 해물파전($20) and a 불닭 (鐵板雞肉) ($35）. The 김치전 wasn't that nice as compared to Katong's branch - it was thin and much more crispy, this one was thicker and not crispy at all.
The 해물파전 was slightly better - a bit more crispy, but the seafood inside was pathetic :(... The prawns were so small! But on the other hand, it had some 'eyes' on top, just lack of a mouth to complete a face.
The 불닭 (鐵板雞肉) was quite different from Katong's branch, we were a bit surprised the moment it was served. We thought the waitress would cooked the thing up, fry fry fry before letting us to continue frying the food. But it was already cooked when it was served! And what's more it had cheese included, the Katong's one didn't have.
Realised the standards between the east and west branch are different. Thought it should be under same company?!

After the dinner, they didn't want to go home so fast yet. So we headed to Creamz @ NUS for some ice cream desserts! The price compared to outside was really cheap already. Had peanut butter, rum 'n' raisin and one more flavour which I forgot what already lol. Continued laughing all way long. It was a nice gathering anyway.
Review: first week in school
After a week has passed, time to review the year 4 modules I'm taking.

NTU第四年的第一餐韓式魚柳($6.80)，希望有好的開始！:)
EE4303: It was almost a nightmare, information overload for me. I guess I need some time to digest what the lecturer was talking. Talked about the MOS structure and all the equations, suddenly jump to the phase shift. 3 hour lecture can cover EE3003 as a whole!
EE4341: Easier to digest than EE4303, pace was ok, which I pretty enjoyed.
EE4648: Interesting module! Tutorial 1 was going to have an excursion to Jurong Point. Lol... Going to look awkward and funny when 20+ people hanging around electronics store to take a look at display screens available on market. Lol...
HW0310: So far, I hadn't touched on this yet. =X
EE4041: Human Resource Management module! After hearing the course structure, I guess it won't be an easy module. And omg, have to wear formal + tie?! :( Managers (at least for engineering side) don't wear tie all day? Some even just wear polo with long pants wor.
ES8001: This one also quite rigorous. Quiz 25% at every lesson before and after?! Ahh, have to do constant revision. :(
FYP: Glad found some more readings on my project, at least for the generic device. :) But there's a simulation sofware tutorial to read up - to familarise myself with the software lo. Later got to do the project using the software. Also found another person doing something similar, but ultimately is different outcome, can study and research together lo. Lol...

17 August Dinner at 주막
Someone suggested to have supper on the first day of 七月？
But luckily changed to dinner - supper is no-no lo. I wanted to go back to Bukit Timah area, together with PG, YC and HY. Went to Lotte Mart before the dinner to buy some banana milk and snacks. Lol...
주막 restaurant wasn't crowded at all. So we 4 people took the 8 seater... OMG! Ordered 삼겹살 ($30 for 2 servings) and 부대찌개 ($30). First time had 삼겹살, it was rather interesting: put the meat onto a veggie leaf, then top it with some soy bean sauce, then put kimchi and finalyl wrap it and put into mouth. It got the freshy (from veggie), meaty and oily (from meat), salty (from sauce), sourly (from kimchi) taste. A variety mix. Interesting meal.

The 부대찌개 basically used whatever could be found from cans (beans, tofu, rice cakes, 午餐肉, sausages) then add a noodle cake and cheese and start cooking. I love Korean dish actually, where it was meant to be shared among all diners. No need to order individually and then share here and there. For Korean, just need 2 big main dishes with 반찬 and you can have a decent and fulfilling meal le. Nice! But PG felt the 부대찌개 was rather expensive - he prefers BBQ! Oh my, talking about BBQ just ignite my craving for that. :(
So coincidentally, saw SQ on way back. He's also in around Upper Bukit Timah area for Korean dinner! Haha!
