Annual Chinese New Year Steamboat!

It has been our group tradition to gather up during chinese new year to have steamboat!!

This year, we decided to go out for steamboat! Easier to organise and also we are jus some lazy pigs!! keke!

Went to this old rundown looking shophouse restaurent at purvis street! I forgot the name! It is between killiney kopitiam and this thai restaurent (not ying thai). The restuarent is nearer to the beach road side.

Seems like it is some "lao zi hao" place. Really crowded! You will never know it serves steamboat from the outside for all you see is a couple of chicken hanging and a old uncle chopping chicken up on the chopping board.

The chicken rice was yummy! The steamboat did not have much selection but it was good! I love the beef!! so tender!! yumz! We ordered loads of plates of beef!! N the best part! it was pretty cheap!!! haha!!

Beware though! Think the steamboat has loads of MSG. Cause all of us feeling super thirsty after it.

Initial O(range)!!

Someone got "ge kiang" and bet with me that he can drive with 2 oranges balanced nicely on his dashboard!

Somehow they start rolling off the dashboard eventually, then he claims as long as the orange did not drop into the ground, he still wins...

Guess where the orange end up?

Well.... he won, I cant imagine anyone being able to drive like that. Well, he did. Admitting my defeat, I immediatly saved the orange's life and my own.

Beijing Xiao Chi

BC brought me to this place near chinatown for yummy guo tie for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Coincidentally, it was the same place that my Uni fren, Henry, brought me to eat xiao long bao couple of years ago! Haha! I can still rem there was this stage that I really loved to eat xiao long baos alot! Then my fwens Henry and Ah Long jioed me go eat xiao long bao at some old chinatown restaurent. I still rem that Ah Long backed out at the last moment. Sheesh!!

Anyway, if you are looking for a wide selection of dumpling variety, this is the wrong place to look. The choices are really little but if the items are really yummy, it doesnt really matter as you do not have enuff space to stomach others. The dumpling are freshly prepared on the spot so its freshness guranteed!

It is a smallshop house restaurent. I estimate can only hold around 50 pple. You have to like queue outside the restaurent for your table as its really small inside. I noticed that the place has quite a few koreans and japanese patrons. Cant figure out why.
