I'm just doing a screen-shot & re-posting slowly cos it ain't easy to import every single photo.

Xian De Lai 鲜得来, JEM

An impromptu dinner with Angel, Ivy & Whye Wan. I was craving for steamboat few days ago, so Ivy suggested Xian De Lai 鲜得来, JEM







We were there on Tuesday evening & it wasn't crowded


Upon ordering, we were served a portion of appetizer. It was fried chicken cubes with lots of dried chilli


There is an option of Set meal or Ala Carte Buffet (can't remember the price, but it was aout $25), so we opt for the buffet. There are 5 soup bases to choose from, namely: Irresistible Sichuan Spicy; HealthyTonkotsu Soup; Bak Kut Teh Soup; Secret Recipe Duck Soup & Thai-style Tom Yum Soup




All of them choose the Healthy Tonkotsu Soup while I had Tom Yum. No complains from them, so I reckon it's passable. Tom Yum is mild sour & spicy.


Variety of sauces were available at the center of table of the restaurant. Of which, only 4 catches my eye. Sesame Peanut Sauce (dilute & no sesame taste.. a little salty also); Spicy Peanut Sauce (not spicy & no peanut fragrant); Spicy Chilly w/bean (Not spicy & it's sweet cos of the bean) & Thai-style Chilli (not spicy; has a hint of sourness). Of the 4 sauces I tried, Thai-style Chilli proves to be the best dip for the night.




There were more than 50 dishes to choose from, but... ... the portion were very small, so I suggest you order more if you;re a big eater. How small is the portion? Eg. 2 portions of prawns turn out to be only 8pcs (for 4 pax)! However, the ingredients were all very fresh.


Apart from the fresh/ raw ingredients, there are also more than 15 side dishes to choose from. Braised Pork Belly in Tea Sauce is very flavorful & the pork is very soft. However, it is so fat you see a layer of oil on the pork belly when it has cool down!


Braised Beancurd is also very flavorful




Come fried stuffs we ordered


The buffet also comes with a dessert of the day. 

Most of the staffs here were from China & they were pretty friendly & attentive.

Wati's Birthday

We had another mini-celebration last night cos it's our FDW, Wati's Birthday

Sis bought a Banana Nut Cake from BreadTalk but when she remove it from the box, somehow the cake got "disfigured" =D


Damien is asleep by the time sis came back at about 10pm, so you see only 1 boy here



Didn't cut the cake last night cos they wanna do it again with Damien today in case he gets angry. Plus it's a little too late, so they'll only cut & eat the cake today.

Parcel from Qoo10

2 pack of parcels arrived at home from Qoo10. Guess what I bought this time? 


Parcel 1: Wing Wing Ball, $5.45 each (inclusive of shipping) - Mosquito Bugs Repellent Band from The JD

I am quite prone to mosquito bites, so I decided to order online for my future outdoor activity. It's supposed to be odor-free, but I have yet to try it. It comes in 2 colors (Blue & Pink), so I bought 4 of each! **siao! =D

Parcel 2: Padded Bicycle Shorts, $26.81 (Free Shipping) from Hotsells

The Voodoos are kind-of crazy on cycling lately. For the 2 times that I went with them, I find my seat bone very painful after cycling even though I only cycle for less than 2 hours. Thus, I decided to buy a padded bicycle shorts to see if it helps.

Available in few colors but I opt for black co that it' not so ugly if worn under any other shorts


Padded cushion inside the shorts

The seller also tag along a 'Love" charm in the package =)
