My Review

Travel Period: 9th Feb 2017 - 12th Feb 2017 (Wrote this post many months ago then realized I never published.. OMG... old age?!) Here it goes... Boarded the plane @ 7am flight and arrived @ 8.20am (Thailand time) at Bangkok International Airport. Day 1 Reached BKK, applied for data plan with AIS @ 7days unlimited data @ 4.5Gbps rate for THB $299 Went to find food and we ended up eating Subway.  Took the train via city line to Ratchaprarop station @ THB $35 per person.  It was fast getting to the city via Skyline BUT it was so packed when it were nearing the intersection station ( MRT  Makkasan ). Still can't figure out how we were able to make it passed the crowd to exit the train. Walking to  Citin Pratunam  can be tricky. If not for another group of travelers heading the same direction, we were bound to have problems getting to the hotel. The route to the hotel was via a train path which has a small exit and cannot be seen fro...

This song is so spot on. No one is perfect and regardless of how perfect a couple is, they are bound face problems and/or differences. It's not about how one have to give in to another, it's about how to overcome the problem together. Trivial stuffs to major issues, when we overcome each steps, it's another milestone met. And all in all, it's takes a lifetime to maintain the relationship. Part of the lyrics which is really the key to everything: 脚步错了　拍子错了　再一遍 没有关系　我们有一辈子的时间 Loosely translated the above lyrics to English: wrong step, wrong tempo, repeat again it doesnt matter, we have a lifetime 

Never take someone for granted... Even if the person is around always... Especially if the person always around... Because like the firework... The time you have that person will only shortens And once it ends, it's the end.

Wasn't open till 12pm exact. A couple was earlier than us. Not sure how long they waited, but they were clearly upset that the restaurant had no staff at the counter minutes before 12pm. At least the food was all ready when they opened the doors. Compared to other hotel buffets, the dishes available is lesser than expected but my friend commented that it had more interesting dishes. (He is one who had been to many buffets.. well...compared to me) The service is good though. The staffs were friendly and prompted in helping to clear the plates. Complimentary cold/warm water and hot teh tarik were provided.  Service: 4.5 out of 5 . Despite they didn't have any staff waiting outside the counter before 12pm, once it was 12pm, service received was great. Location: Walkable distance from Tanjong Pagar MRT but a bus ride and alight at the opposite of M Hotel is even close than the distance from MRT station. Food: 4 out of 5 . Th...

My review of the final installment: Resident Evil 6 (R.E.6): The Final Chapter Spoilers Ahead!  Thumbs up:  Wrapping up the storyline : R.E.6 The Final Chapter worked hard to wrap up the story line than purely an adventure on the go action/effects movie. Another side of Alice : Rather than showing  Alice  being good at fighting, a portion of the screen time was used on showing she is good with strategy. Lee Joon Gi's short appearance but refreshing character:  Lee Joon Gi stood out a lot. The only refreshing character which could be put to bigger use to bring more impact to the movie. His character certainly stood out among the many characters despite having minimal scene time. Disappointment Factor 1: No action pack battle and replaced with narration After years of waiting, the final movie is finally released. At the end of Resident Evil 5: Retribution , looked like a big battle between Alice and zombies + dragons? BUT at the start of Resid...

After a few years of not making pineapple tarts, this year I tried again. This time round, I added something to my original recipe here to make the pastry softer, Ghee.  I made almond sugee cookie days ago and felt in love with the soft melting pastry. After browsing through the website on several other pineapple tarts recipe that used ghee, it seemed that just having an additional 2 tablespoons of Ghee with an increased amount of flour will make the pastry softer. So this is it, my revised recipe with Ghee: Ingredients  (yields approx 65~70 pineapple tarts balls - 2cm diameter) Pineapple Tarts 250g unsalted butter 470g plain flour 1 tsp baking powder (Optional, in my case, I did not have it so I did not add any in) 1/2 tsp salt 50g icing sugar (Can be lesser than 50, around 48g/49g) 2 eggs (separate egg yolk with egg white into two different bowls) 1/2 tsp vanilla essence 500g (1/2 pack of a 1 kg) pineapple preserve filling paste (bought t...
