[double celebration] Loi Hei + Crab Feast at Jumbo Seafood

Image
This year, Valentine's Day happened to fall on the same week as CNY! To me, I value the Chinese Traditions more than anything else. An additional plus point is that I really like to eat crab! Hence, after a long discussion with Baby, we decided to go to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant for our celebration!   We visited the branch at the National Service Resort & Country Club (NSRCC), which is located near Changi. As Baby is a member of Jumbo Seafood, he received a complimentary voucher for a free Yu Sheng!   'Lo Hei' is a tradition during the CNY period that is believed to bring good luck and prosperity for the whole year. We will never miss out on this, especially since Baby has a fond liking for the dish!   Apart from the Yu Sheng, we ordered a plate of Seafood Beancurd , and it tasted great with its accompanying dip sauce. Another dish we had was the Egg Fried Rice , which had a tremendous ' Wok Hei' , and tasted great.   Of course, the main dish was Jumbo's...

Baby and I meet up for dinner almost every day after work, and recently we had one of our meals at 'LeNu', a Taiwanese noodle restaurant which is located at VivoCity . We started off with the Chilled Silken Tofu with Century Egg , and we love this appetiser very much! The damage was about SGD34, which included our 2 choices of bowls of noodles.

Thanks so much for the overwhelming congratulatory messages over my various social media platforms. Yes! I am officially MRS CHEW, and I am proud to be addressed as such! I got engaged in Japan January 2017, while touring Osaka and other parts of the Kansai region during my Birthday trip. Soon after my engagement, I had the very good fortune to take my pre-wedding shoot in Auckland, New Zealand in April 2017. I would like to thank my hubby especially, as all this was made possible by his very hard work and scrimping/saving. He surprised me with all his planning and unwavering will to make it happen! Now, in February 2018, we finally tied the knot after a 10-year relationship! We started to look for banquet venues since last November, and we were fortunate enough to come across The Floating Pods at The Fullerton Bay Hotel for our solemnisation. Baby dropped them an email for quotation in early December, and they replied promptly! We arranged to meet up for a discussion on the packag...
