BBQ at WaterEdge

We got invited to Uncle Pete's somewhat house warming (been there before) and viewing of his rooftop garden. His place is located at the end of Pasir Ris (further in from Downtown East), its a condo called WaterEdge. He has recently done up the roof garden complete with a pond, basin, frige, surrond-sound (weather-proof speakers) and a nice chill-out sofa.













Here is the pond with some lovely Kois as resident.












Some pictures I took from the roof-top garden.



















Sunset taken from the other end of the roof garden.














Here is the host/chef with his trusty Thermos grill, powered by gas but heated by volcanic rocks. Its really excellent for barbaque, the food turns out nicely cooked and taste delicious.















Cooking in progress....



























Drooling yet?


Thanks, Uncle Pete for the good times and food!

Tau Kwa Pau for You?

Had tau kwa pau & laksa for lunch today. This store is located along Joo Chiat Road, in a coffee shop facing diagonally Katong Mall. It was recently featured in Coffee Talk and Hawker Walk, with Fiona Sia and Belinda Lee. It seems that Taiwanese Ah Liang was here before and the store was also featured in Channel U's FBI food show.




















We ordered 2 serving of tau kwa pau and I must say, with extra gravy, it tasted fantastic. The toppings were generous and the chilli is quite tasty. The downside is the food is abit cold.














It's definitely worth a try.

Zhng Yourself!

Since our last posting, we have underwent some zhng-ing of ourselves.
Audrey went to have her hair highlighted, which you can't really see the difference unless its under bright light. Even so, its only very minor coloring.















As for myself, I not sure what got into me but I went to have my teeth straighten. By braces! Its gonna take me 2 years before its done. And this is only the first week. ~Sob~ Gonna be a long wait.... Here is a picture of my metal mouth...














Currently, its silver color bands. Think I might try the golden ones next time.
Will definitely post when I get it changed.
