I am Titanium. Jk, I am Shirin.
Different exposure. 16 September 2013


The places I usually explore will be either town, South, East or West thus I hardly travel to the Northern area. But this week I managed to explore part of the North-West area (sort of), Choa Chu Kang. It was my first time in years that I've been in CCK. Went Charlotte's house with the Mac&Cheese I've made for lunch. We made Cinnamon Rolls and watched Despicable Me 2.



Cinnamon Rolls we made. But the portion that we cut wasn't even. Hahahah.Visited the Michelin Star Restaurant, Tim Ho Wan @ Toa Payoh ERA Centre. Cindi and I went to the restaurant around 1715 and surprisingly, we didn't queue for very long. Thank goodness.



We tried the legendary Baked BBQ Pork Buns. It's like eating Bo Luo Pao and Char Siew Pao together. Thus, this Baked BBQ Pork Bun tasted sweet and buttery. I really like it as it was something new. Almost everyone (except us) ordered a few plates of it for take-away.



Here's some other dim sum we've ordered. 

Carrot Cake.


Chicken Feet, Hong Kong style. Typical Singaporean style would be the chicken feet being fried then cooked with the sauce. HK style is without the frying.


Salted and Century Egg Porridge.


 Vermicelli Rice Rolls


Prawn Dumplings. (Har Gao)


Siew Mai.


Osmanthus Jelly with Wolf Berry. This dessert is really refreshing however I felt that it was too sweet after eating the entire piece,  probably it was because of the wolf berry. 


In my opinion, I wouldn't go to Tim Ho Wan very often, once in awhile probably. The other dim sum dished were just average. I've eaten better dim sum. I think they are famous because of their Baked BBQ pork buns and the fact that they received a Michelin Star for their restaurant. 

Mid Autumn Festival is on 19 Sept. I prefer the candle-lit lantern compared to the electrical-with-music lanterns and I absolutely love the traditional mooncake, without egg yolk. (: The lightings for Mid Autumn Festival is up at Chinatown. Took some shots (with my new Fujiflim X-M1 camera) while I was there for dinner and dessert. Yummy.

Favourite day shots. 




Favourite night shots that I've captured. 



I finally had my first driving lesson! It was fun. The driving instructor was really "talkative", at least it wouldn't be so awkward in the car and my driving ID is 00715 so my driving instructor asked me: "Eh, your ID is 715, your bf is Qi Yi Wu is it?" Enjoyed my first lesson of driving. Can't wait for my next driving lesson! (: 

Have a great week! xoxo. (:
