Food - Old Hong Kong Kitchen

It is Sunday once again and another chance to gather some friends out for a meal to do some catching up.

This time we choose to try out Old Hong Kong Kitchen located at Square 2.


A friend in the group mentioned that the dim sum is really nice and their pig stomach soup is highly recommended by my SIL.

We'd order quite a variety of food and indeed the food there is not bad. My personal favourites among the food we'd ordered are:-

1) Pig stomach soup
2) Steam custard bun
3) 三蛋粥

I was too busy handling the kids and indulging myself with the food that I totally forgotten to take pictures of it :p But not to worry, I probably will head back there again to try out their other dim sum items. I hope I will not forget about the pictures then.

P/S: If you do plan to give it a try, do give them a call to make a reservation. We almost cannot get a table but because we were there very early (12:00pm), they have no choice but to serve us.

After watching K-Drama Pasta, I was so "inspired" by the pastas that were made in the drama, I got JM to bring me out for a pasta dinner at Soprano (Italian Restaurant).

Drama - 意大利面 (Pasta)

Here's another Korean drama worth the watch. A 'light' weight show filled with humor and romance.


“Pasta” covers the dreams and success of a young woman who aspires to become an elite chef at La Sfera restaurant.

Seo Yoo Kyung started her career as a kitchen assistant at La Sfera restaurant for 3 years. Her dream is to become an Italian cuisine chef. She eventually works her way up to become a chef.

One day, the La Sfera restaurant newly hires Choi Hyun-wook, a chef who went to culinary school in Italy. Upon his arrival, the female chefs are fired one by one and Yoo-Kyung finds herself to be the last woman standing. She's fired several times but comes up with ways to be rehired by Choi Hyun-wook. Eventually she's rehired permanently when she wins a blind taste contest.

The newly hired president, Kim San hires his friend and celebrity chef Sae-young as a co-head chef to work with Hyun-wook. It turns out that Sae-young and Hyun-wook used to date each other when they were both studying at the Italian culinary school. But they broke up after Sae-young sabotaged his wine by boiling it to win a cooking contest. They turn into rivals and try to out do each other in making the finest Italian cuisine.

Working alongside two celebrity chefs, Yoo-gyeong feels small and insignificant. She gradually develops feelings for the charismatic Hyun-wook. However, restaurant owner Kim San begins to become attracted to the spunky Yoo-Kyung and the relationships between them become fraught with complexities.

Au-Yeung Wai-Lan (Yuen Qiu), owner of a martial arts training school, is reunited with her long-lost son Goo Yu-Cheung (Kevin Cheng) after years of agonizing separation. On his return home, Cheung is shocked to find that his younger brother Goo Yu-Tong (Kenneth Ma) has been critically ill and that his father was murdered long ago by Wing Dak (Lam Ka Wah), the existing director of a pharmaceutical company and a bitter old foe of the Goo family.

Pinning all her hopes on Cheung, Wai-Lan not only teaches him a special set of kung-fu skills created by the family, but also registers for him for the Guangdong Boxing Championship Tournament. Out of the blue, Cheung’ s opponent in the final turns out to be Man-Gwan.

Cheung starts losing his bearings after achieving growing success and recognition in the field of martial arts. Caught up in the love triangle between was his adopted sister Ying Ngan-Ming (Natalie Tong), his dream girl Chow Bing-Bing (Nancy Wu) and himself, Cheung is utterly confused and exhausted, which later causes his failure in the final tournament.

SEPANG ... here I COME!!!


5:00am ... a large cup of mocha-cino from McCafe marks the start of my day on a Saturday.

I guess the heading of my post would have already hint you why I am up so early drinking coffee. Oh yes ... I am heading to Sepang ... a dreadful place to me (just kidding ^_^) but heaven to my lovely hub.

Today is one of those Sepang track day trip with hubby. As track session is from 9:00am to 12:00pm, we got leave early to cater for the approximate 2 hour+ drive to Sepang.

8:20am we finally arrived at Sepang!!!

After registration and driver's briefing ... it is time to get ready for track practice. Each driver were assigned with a number and darling's number is No. 33!!!


All done ... and off to the track!!!

While JM is having fun on track, I've decided to stay put in the pits :p

Sounds boring right ... but seriously I am enjoying myself because I was all prepared!!! Packed with our portable DVD player, I was enjoying myself with my K-Drama while my man is out having fun ^_^.

More K-Music ^_^

Starhub CH 146 is my favourite channel now. I am on hot pursuit of the programmes Showbiz Extra and Pops in Seoul airing in the channel. This is where you can get updates of the latest korean entertainment news and MV.

During the recent showtimes, this song titled No Other by Super Junior caught my attention. A very catchy and cute song ...

K-Pop Craze

Hmm ... ok ... I got a confession to make ...

I think I am suffering from a post drama effect after watching 原来是美男 (He's Beautiful). It had happened once before, when I completed 花样男子 (Boys over Flowers), but it is happening again!!! Wahaha ...

The catchy music in the drama had gotten my attention and to make things worse, the cast in the show are singers too. Oh ya ... that made me dug more into the OST of the show and even songs each singers.

My favourite character in the show is Kang Shin Woo and the person behind this role is Jung Yong Hwa - lead singer of the Korean group C.N Blue.

Now, I am hooked to 2 songs by this group (other than the songs in the OST :p). The 2 songs are as follows ...

** C.V Blue - Love LIVE version ** Oh ... did I mention 花样男子 (Boys over Flowers) earlier ... I think I did. That show really poisoned me. Especially Kim Hyun Joong who played the role as Yoon Ji Hoo. Did a research on him after the show only to realised that he is the leader of popular boy band SS501. Recently this group had been quite active with 2 hit songs as their comeback ... ** SS501 - Love Ya LIVE version ** Kim Hyun Joong was also featured in MV for Korean Singer Gummy's new song As A Man (남자라서). Quite a nice song too ...

Hahaha ... I think I better stop ... if not the list will just go on and on ... enjoy the music ^_^
