Heart of Kaohsiung

Tonight had me missing Kaohsiung. Here are some of the photos taken in Kaohsiung where I cycled along the love river for the last time *sniff* Such a beautiful place that I could just sit down and quietly enjoy the night scene.

This is a popular route where the locals love to cycle, run or exercise.

This wonderful place has created many beautiful memories for me for the past year and I am greatly thankful for the decision I have made to go there and to stay there for another sem :')

OOTD @Taipei

Was at Taipei last week and here are some of my #ootd posts! So happy with all my buys that I was too excited to wear them out before returning to SG :)

Maxi dress with a slit at the legs, which makes me more ladylike! haha

If you have seen this on my fb, it was taken at the Taiwan's National Palace Museum. It was such a beautiful place and it was a pity I forgot to bring along my cam :< Top from zara/Skirt in lilac from tw :D

If you have noticed, the background is exactly the same as the first one! Taken at Ximending's Red House which is just nearby my hotel which explains the same backdrop :P

Gona call this lollipop off-shoulder top because of the vibrant rainbow colors :D I knew I have to get it when I saw the top, totally in love~

*Super nice* backdrop! Taken in Keelung, will blog about the places I went soon :)

Top and skirt from tw. Skirt is only NT100!!

Last one is this ombre top in blue from tw too, casual but photogenic hehe. I was in the Museum and they require the public to wear their slippers, so that explains why I was wearing that :)

I should prolly have a flea market soon to sell some of my clothes to make room for new ones :P Anyone interested??

Honey toast ^^

Just got all my last semester results and I am proud that I have graduated officially!~

I am really happy for myself and for my friends who have struggled and studied hard for the 84734696394 number of tests and exams that we had.

On the day that I ended my last paper, I knew I had to celebrate with a good dinner and I simply enjoyed myself that night with a perfectttt one ^^

I was craving for honey toast after hearing my Taiwanese's friends raving about it~ Hence, I went to check out on this restaurant in Kaohsiung which appeared on the first few results on my google search for honey toast hahaha.

I was only waiting for my honey toast but we still ordered the dinner set since we had to fill our stomachs with mains first :)

Looks so appetizing rightttt !

My aglio olio but the taste is mehhhh~~

And TATA~ this is my Tiramisu honey toast :D

My makeup-less face

After spamming photos of the honey toast, the waitress came to cut the toast and this is what is inside the toast!!

Love those sugar coated bread sticks that were hiding inside the toast. Dip it with the ice-cream, custard and eat with the fruits and the taste will be awesome! :P

Can't wait to intro you guys the honey toast I ate in Taipei soon!

Dimsum @Kaohsiung

A few days before leaving Kaohsiung, I knew I had to go back to my favorite Dimsum restaurant for the last time~

It is located at the MRT station kaohsiung arena (高雄巨蛋). Took some photos of the indoor sporting arena before dinner. Some of the concerts are held here because it can host up to 15,000 spectators!!

My OOTD

I love this off shoulder top because it fits me perfectly. Just any necklace put on and I will be good to go ;)

Outfit: Off-shoulder top from taiwan x shorts from HK x necklace from tw

Reached the restaurant after a twelve minute walk from the MRT, the address is on the menu ^^

Prices are reasonable, with no service charge, and free tea!

Prepare to get hungry :P

Cheese baked cabbage, didn't knew cheese can go well with vege haha

The tasty char siew su

My favorite dish and cannot be missed each time I am here- pan fried carrot cake ^*

Purple glutinous rice with meat filling

Another all-time favorite, custard buns!!

Their spring roll was special and fried differently from the normal ones I have eaten, it tasted like Mc Nuggets to me, but still yummmmehhh

The bill for 3 people after ordering so much! Total up to SGD$22~

I don't have to miss Swee Choon while Im here anymore :P

The Lone Ranger 2013, Don't miss it!

What's worth waiting for in July?

THE LONE RANGER!

One big reason to catch Disney’s latest offering ‘Lone Ranger’!- Johnny Depp! Almost no one can pull off these eccentric roles as convincingly as Johnny Depp does. This time, Depp ditches his pirate gear for the role of Tonto, an American spirit warrior who teams up with ‘The Lone Ranger’ (Arnie Hammer) for a battle against greed and corruption.

Watch the teaser trailer and you’ll see that Depp retains his signature brand of eccentricity and dialogue for his role as Tonto. For me, The Lone Ranger looks like a great combination of action, adventure and humour. Also, Arnie Hammer's really hot too! The last time I saw him in a movie was in The Social Network where he played the role(s) of the Winklevoss twins!

Moreover, The Lone Ranger is brought to us by the same filmmaking team of The Pirates of Caribbean trilogy. Can't wait to catch it! Open in cinemas on July 4th!

Catch the TRAILER here to catch a glimpse of The Lone Ranger! (and Johnny Depp :P)

Catch Disney’s “The Lone Ranger” in Singapore cinemas this 4 July 2013! For more updates, like the Official Walt Disney Studios Singapore Facebook Page, follow @disneystudiosSG and subscribe to the Official Disney Studios Singapore YouTube Channel!

What are you waiting for? Keep yourselves entertained this coming July :D

Night market in Tainan, what to eat??

Spent a good 2D1N in Tainan as our local friend invited us to his house for a stay. It's my 5th time in Tainan but I enjoyed myself the most this time because of good company :D There were 6 of us, 3 taiwanese, 1 from china, plus me and Alf. It was so much comforting to travel around with bikes and being fetched by the locals rather than cabbing here and there.

We spent our first night at 大東夜市

Just look at the background and you would see how REALLY crowded the night market is on a friday night in Tainan~ There are mainly two very big night markets in Tainan, namely Dadong and Huayuan night market and they are also considered the biggest night markets in Taiwan, besides Fengchia Night market in Taichung city.

Some of my favourite food that I will definitely eat when I am there...

大肠包小肠 If you directly translate it to english, it would be misinterpreted as "Big intestine wrap small intestine" and many people will tend to avoid this since the name is quite turn-off ~ But the fact is, it's not! It is actually a pork sausage wrapped in glutinous rice sausage. Taiwan's speciality, don't miss it :P

Kimchi with pork fried rice dumpling, crispy on the outside with filling inside :D There are many different flavors to choose from, but I still prefer kimchi heh

原住民烤肉 ( Taiwan Aborigine roast pork ) MUST-EAT! It's marinated very well and I can't find any BBQ/roasted pork better than this :D

Chocolate banana pancake *whoooop* There are so many flavors too, I love the yogurt flavor that my friend bought the most!

A night market that has everything, and can even fit in a children's ride! Hahah

Was too crowded and thus I didn't bother to take all the food that we have eaten that night. And the rest of the night was spent playing mahjong and chit-chatting till 3+ am! So many things to talk about when we only know each other for only a month??

Shall blog about Tainan Day 2 soon xD Have to focus on my finals now, yes my very very and really FINALS exams and I will graduate soon! Although I can't bear to leave here at all D:

Oh well...

Till the next! xx

Korean hotpot dinner

Three little pigs had a dinner date at this SUPER good korean hotpot restaurant ystd and according to my friend, she has been wanting to eat this restaurant since this year January as many people are raving about it~ I love this Taiwanese friend of mine cos she simply knows where to go for nice food and ever since I know her, I have been pigging out almost everyday :P

I went to googled for this restaurant and the first link that I saw was people waiting 3 hours to get a table :O We were more lucky though, waited an hour( reservation not allowed for dinner ) for a weekday dinner... Can't imagine how long have to wait on weekends!

Details :D

Korea Dubu House 淨豆腐韓式料理 (kaohsiung)
Tel No：０７－２２１－５６６５ (Reservations for lunch)
Address：高雄市前金區中華四路352號（近捷運中央公園站,central park MRT）
Opening hours：Lunch 11:30~14:30 　Dinner 17:30~22:00

We were too hungry and finished all these appetizers within a few minutes~

The 3 lil hungry pigs. Looks super .... w/o makeup

They only sell hotpot and their ingredients are flown from Korea, hence the much steeper prices.

All of us ordered the same thing: Cheese hotpot with pork and tofu (NT270, No service charge)

Really love the soup broth with cheese~ And I finished the whole soup although I am not a soup lover. So tasty omgzzz... We were all like telling each other "好好吃“ after our first mouth :p

Other soup base include curry, kimchi and the original ones.

And their rice is also served in the hotpot which makes it slightly crispy and to also keep the rice warm while we take our time to eat it~ Their rice is so chewy and the smell of it is fragrant from far~~

Ordered another fried pork pancake to share and oh man, thumbs up for this ^^

We finished this before our mains and this is the best pancake I've eaten so far compared to the many good ones I have always eaten in other korean restaurants *omnomnomnom*

Busy camwhoring~

My taiwanese friend's signature pose. She asked us to pose like that but apparently we failed and it was too ugly to be uploaded haha

This picture sums it all for the night and for the food :D
