Yaukwees' Seafood Dinner @ Ban Leong Wah Hoe Seafood Restaurant, 122 Casuarina Road

First and foremost, William Lim, Phillip Lim and Richard Lim like to thank Dick Lee for this wonderful dinner.

This gathering was prearranged a couple of weeks ago. The atmosphere at 122 Casuarina Road was comfortably cool and breezy especially after the evening rain. 

Our boss ordered the above dishes. He knows best as he had been there on a few occasion. It was a good selection and we enjoyed the sumptuous food. He also brought a bottle of Sandalford Red Wine to celebrate this gathering. 

What's most important is that we cherish the company of one another. As Michaelians & Josephians, we are truly proud of it.

Richard Lim's 60th Birthday Celebration

Buffet Lunch @ Buffet City Restaurant

(Inside Tanjong Pagar Community Club)

Yesterday, 25th November 2014 was Richard's 60th Birthday.  Today, we celebrated this eventful day of him crossing from an adult to a senior citizen (Welcome to the Senior Citizens' Club, bro!) by having a jolly good time at this eatery. 

This place has a nice ambience and serves a variety of Local & International dishes. 

Weekday lunch: $26.80+ (Adults)     $19.90+ (Senior Citizen till end of Jan 2015 only)

Operating Hours: 11.00am to 2.30pm

Only regret we had was, there's no sashimi. However, the other seafood compensated for it.

We look forward to your comments.

Today, the four yaukwees, decided to go Taman Daya for dim sum. But lucky as we always are, it was closed. 

While driving around Austin Heights for an alternative place to eat, Phillip recalled eating at this restaurant with some golf kakis sometime back.

We ordered the above dishes which were very well prepared and tasty. It was a satisfying meal.

Next, we visited My Pharmacy nearby for our usual medicine, followed by grocery shopping at Tesco Supermart in Tebrau City before heading back to Singapore.

It was a short but fun filled trip.

This morning, Dick & William went to JB for lunch. We decided to have dim sum and Dick suggested trying out this eatery which had very good reviews written by a local food blogger. Check out his comments of this place and other interesting eateries in Johore Bahru @ www.johorkaki.blogspot.sg

This place is about 15 minutes drive from JB via the EDL Highway.  We arrived at 11.45am. This corner coffee shop in a sleepy little town has a peaceful ambience, airy and complete with the sound of running water from a nearby drain. Most importantly, it's clean and no warplanes (houseflies) for you to practice your tai chi.

Traditional style pushcarts of dim sum came by our table and we ordered the above dishes. The quality of the food was fresh and surprisingly good. Most of the items have a succulent prawn stuffed in it. Both of us consumed a total of 13 dishes at the cost of Rm50 (S$20) which includes a pot of Chinese tea. Worth considering Round 2.

After lunch, we did some shopping at Holiday Plaza & Taman Sentosa before returning to Singapore.
