This post is the continuation of my escapade to Singapore during Christmas. One thing I had to try though was the taste of fine food and what a way to start with Japanese Buffet at Momiji. Lucky places were booked by my cousin that was staying in Singapore and we finally get to go in earlier than those queuing outside waiting for their turn to go and have the all you can eat offer.

As an avid fan of Japanese food, you can wonder what I would start my feast on first. Definitely sashimi.

There are oysters, salmon, prawns, tuna and whatever other sashimi one could find there. This is food haven for me. Of course, not everything was taken raw. I mean, that’s not just what all Japanese food is.

So time to indulge myself into something cooked too. Rather Half Cooked.

Oyster with Cheese, Prawn with Cheese and Xiu Mai (Chinese food???)

Though I have a complaint though. Why is this called a Seafood Steamboat?

All because they have 1 prawn and they call it the seafood steamboat. Pathetic. Nevertheless the soup was amazing.

There is also what we call Hot Plate dish. So off I went to get my Hot Plate (Teppan) Beef.

Photo is a little dark, but you get the point.

Also with the variety of fruits to clear off those toxins. There’s Dragonfruit, Honey Dew, Guava, Grapes, Jackfruit and also white chocolate dip. Savor the moment.

Finally to top it all off, this is the highlight of why eating here during dinner time is the best time. There is…….

SNOW CRAB!!!! The sight of it tells it all. It’s definitely worth coming here to eat.

See it to believe it. Look at Yen having a go at the Snow Crab.

1. Hmmm…. which one should I eat first?
2. Well, Dan which one do you think?
3. I just love the taste of the Snow crab!!
4. Ahhh… I can’t take it anymore, I am gonna have my first bite of it.

See… told ya it’s too hard to resist. Even I can’t stop eating this Snow crab after putting so much on our plate.

Now looky here. The Weird One DanielCtw‘s turn to pose with the Snow crabs before I finally devour all of them. Super greedy. Having 4 legs instead of 2 though.

How to eat the snow crab? All you need is to crack the joints. Then pull out the flesh from the legs and claw and then Voila!!! It’s out. Time for some crab feast.

Of course there are variety of food that I didn’t get to try as my mind was focused more onto the shashimi and the Snow Crab.

\\

Food like the Shishamo Syioyaki also didn’t really get to try. All in all, the food at Momiji Japanese Buffet Restaurant at POMO is one of the best I tried in Singapore.

Definitely a place worth eating.

A feast you will not want to miss it. Unlimited Serving of Snow Crab.

I still remember the scene when I ran on the Penang Bridge. It was 330am and I was running on the bridge and the rain was pouring. If you don’t get what I mean, please refer to this post about my run in Penang 21km.

These are the victory poses to commemorate the memory once more.

The 2 Macho Guys Kyuzo and The Weird One (Daniel) that ran the wet grueling 21km in Penang Bridge Run. We are both proud to finally complete this run.

So proud that we just have to had a bite of it. Solid….

I guessed as always, this blog isn’t me if I don’t do what I always do best. I love to pose my cool pose.

Thank you Sook Mei for the photos. I love the photos you sent. PBIM 2011, look out for me to conquer you again. I am going to be running the 42km next.

So I reached Singapore. Yes. I was in Singapore for Christmas celebration 2010. Well, sort of.

The night was young. It was 24th December 2010. Time to take the MRT station to Orchard Road, the place where all the Christmas happenings in this city.

The place I got down was in Orchard (duh…) and then we walked in Ion Orchard plaza. Beautiful place. One fact though, I have been to Singapore many times in my life, but I’ve never been to Orchard Road. Reason: I am not a shopping kind of person. I am a boring kind of person. I love to stay at home. Actually in fact, I go to Singapore most of the time to visit my relatives instead.

Since it’s a Christmas occasion, there are bound to be some promotion going on. So got ourselves a Berry Drink on that night. Superb drink.

Time to go out from the shopping mall and head out to the open road. The famous Orchard Road. Greeted by the banner once on the way outside. For someone like me, who doesn’t fancy crowds and the pushing and moving around people, I felt awkward. Maybe it’s the way I am and maybe that’s why I usually avoid going to public places. Though this could be once in a lifetime event for me. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Back to the point. Met a guy who was giving free sweets and chocolates.

At first no one dared to move. No one dared to do anything. Once I took the candies, I see certain people taking a few candies from him and knowingly the ‘Kiasu‘ culture initiated. No one wanted to be left out.

The night lights were a lot to be awed at. Though expected of it. Sometimes I don’t know what to take when there’s like so many people around.

Since I didn’t bring myself a tripod, just have to make do with my steady hands and just look at the crowd. Why oh why does it have to be crowded at Orchard Road? I still don’t get it.

Of course, some people are bound to recognize the Takashimaya Shopping Center. A famous shopping center in Singapore and Chanel and Louis Vuitton are definitely there. A place where most girls seem to like to go no matter poor, rich, etc… (even for those that can’t afford. Still don’t understand why).

As always, when it’s a celebration, there is bound to be crazy people all around. I am not against the celebration but I am not in the mood of getting sprayed at too. People armed with spray canisters and aerosol foam spray are what I would love to avoid. The clock struck 12am and off everyone of these people start spraying people. Girls are usually their targets.

For me, a definite thing to avoid. I even witnessed a photographer capturing the scene only for his camera to be sprayed at directly towards the lens. PAIN~~~~ Imagine the aerosol around the lens. *cringes in pain*

All in all, there is time to take some photos too.

Edit: Photo taken out due to the unattractiveness it shows until I find a better one.

This photo doesn’t actually justify how we look like. Yes, shot with an ultra wide angle lens, our bodies are both distorted. The only decent shot though. Other shots are not for release in the public.

As always, Christmas is a mark of celebration of the Lord Jesus Christ’s birthday. Well not exactly on this time of year 2000+ years ago, but it’s just to commemorate the time when he was born on Earth. Some people got confused with the whole lot Christian thing and then they decided that it was on that day he was born which has absolutely no truth in it.

Finally we decided that we had enough in Orchard Road for the night and it was time to go. Seriously, finally I could get away from all the spraying and the crazy people there. I might be weird but I ain’t that crazy.

Day 2. Time for some sightseeing once more.

Took the bus to Ang Mo Kio Hub. Well, time for some photoshooting minus the crowd. Now finally, no crowd to push me around and to fight my way through the crowd like what was done the day before in Orchard Road. As always, there would be decorations at most places and Ang Mo Kio Hub has got itself a nice decoration posted outside their entrance.

There I met a princess in front of the Candy Shop.

Also a princess at the Bakery Shop.

Finally time to bid the princess farewell (pun intended) and to move on to another place.

A giant watermill in a shopping complex?

Our next stop is by MRT and this time towards City Hall.

Oh my, look at the princess. She’s here too, walking towards the Hanging Gardens. Time for me to stalk follow her. Wonder where is she going to?

Along the way, I noticed a superbly colorful post box around that area. Wonders how come they have superbly nice colored post box here compared to the ones at my housing area.

Walking on and on, it was time to stop at a certain area. The Merlion figure.

Oh… that’s the mini one. But it’s good enough to take a photo with the princess.

The Merlion is just a background. The main focus is the couple of me and dear dear Yen. Ahemz….

Of course I wanted to a photo of myself with the Merlion. But see what happened??

Things doesn’t feel the same and I have that weird funny looking face. FAIL!!!

The Merlion in comparison with us humans. We’re midgets standing beside the Merlion.

There is a river cruise along the way though. Not too far away from the Merlion spitting out water from it’s mouth.

Of course the Merlion is pretty harmless. This picture of bb Yen though is cute.

I had enough, I decided that even though the UWA (Ultra Wide Angle) lens has got it’s usage around scenery and buildings, I still love the sharpness of my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D prime lens.

Ahhhh… I can look at this photo over and over and couldn’t get enough of it. My dear Yen looks stunning here. I should create a giant poster out of it.

Mind you, there was actually a crowd of people here too but not as many the time in Orchard Road though. It was getting rather late now and it was time for the next stop. Well, time was approaching 530pm and dinner was what we had in mind. What did we have?

Drools….. until the next post. Damn… I am getting hungry just looking at this picture.

On the Friday, 10th December 2010, Wacoal had a special event. It is called Wacoal 62 – Come Fly With Me. Well, since it’s a Wacoal I bet that most people would know what kind of event. I got in touch with the representative from Wacoal as I was invited to this event and here they present to me an invitation card. First of all I would love to thank Jerad for extending the invitation to me.

Looking at the invitation, the only thing I required to do was to dress in a formal suit. Since it’s going to be an elegant cocktail function and the theme was Masquerade Night. After arriving in Le Meridien hotel located near KL Sentral, I proceeded taking photos of the runway that’s going to be fashion show for the guests. Yes, best time to take the location of the runway is way before everyone starts going into the hotel.

As can be seen, the runway and the seating are limited thus I have to make full use of my time here. Before all things started, it’s best to go around snapping pictures of the area and also of course, the food.

Ice cream? Or something that looks like ice cream but it’s actually wafer.

Seeing the decorations on the food also makes me hungry.

So I can’t stand it. I just have to take a whole picture of food galore. I am after all a person who loves food.

HEY!!! What about the fashion show? Why still dragging this thing on and on. Just hold your horses, we’ll come right back to that in a short while. Let me tell you something, I would be doing 2 posts for this, so I am sure you people guys especially out there would be able to get more to see from this event. What’s so special about it?

I think this post will be the most BRASSERIE photos ever.

GREEN PASTEL COLOR FLORAL BRA

A Green or Cyan Floral Pattern Bra on Display inside a clear box. Surprisingly it looks like a bikini. Based on the photo, I can feel that it has underwire.

CUTE PINK RIBBON BRA

Seriously this one caught my eye. No no no.. not because of it’s color but the simplicity of the design. The ribbon there makes it stunning and the floral patters are simple.

By the way, I am still clueless on what this means on the label around the bra strap. I would guessed that the 75 means the measurement of the bust and the ‘C‘ is for the cup size. Someone who knows this, can they lend me a helping hand.

Hey… what the heck am I giving my opinions on bra. The girls should know better right? Please ignore me. So let’s go on to our main event. “Finally huh“. Yes, presenting to you the beautiful emcee for the night.

Parfage, Moi Cree neo, Sorci and Sensuala would be the highlight of the night. Well, the emcee, Stephanie Chai was a stunning figure for that night too. Of course there was a welcome address by the Executive Director too to address the guest that night. Finally the ever beautiful voluptuous Stephanie Chai initiated the start of the show. While everyone was anticipating the start of the fashion show, something else was planned.

The violin greeting party was here. The music was impressive and got me entertained for the whole duration.

After what seemed to be quite awhile, the lights grew dim and finally what all the guest has been waiting for is going to start. For this you have to see my next post………………..

Of course NOT! Let’s get on with this. For the first show of underwear is from Wacoal Parfage.

Spotty Type Panties and Bra and Garter Belt and Leggings

Bright Red Panties and Bra with Red Garter Belt and Leggings.

Yellow Mellow Panties and Bra

Green Pastel Brasserie

Somehow this is the only Asian model on the stage I guess. Doubt anyone of them is Malaysian as knowingly Malaysian models hardly model for lingerie (rather they expect higher pay when they do so. Just a speculation okay!! )

Simple Pink Flowery Brasserie and matching Pink Panties

Black Brasserie and Matching Black Panties

Amazing isn’t it? Lingerie turns into fashion these days. Ever wondered whatever happened to those yester years during our father’s time where underwear or lingerie should be worn inside and not for display. Of course, I am sure most of you still wear them inside. The only one I can think of who wears them outside is Super Girl? Hahahaha!! LAME. Well, but why the design?

First and foremost, after many insights and questioning and pondering and net searching (Ahemzzz..), clothes or anything one puts on defines a person. When someone dresses herself/himself to look good, it sometimes make them brew with confidence. Wacoal is doing that and is suitable for all type of sizes as can be seen from the photos above.

So, is that it?

Nope, you have just only seen the collection from Wacoal Parfage. Have you forgotten about the rest of them? There are still Moi Cree neo, Sorci and Sensuala left. I am sure most of you haven’t.

As time is getting short, I will portray the next post with an array of photos of the girls in lingerie. Well, I am sure Wacoal would love to promote all their lingerie and I am doing them a favor and also doing my viewers a favor.

Is this the end? Of course not. Do check back sometime tomorrow or a few days later.

Just a week back (Ahhh… yes… the memories of the food) I was invited to had a preview and taste and a special treat from Holiday Villa Hotel & Suites located in Subang, Malaysia. Why? How?? I didn’t know until I found out that whoa…..

This was mentioned on their Facebook page. It says I won a treat by Holiday Villa Hotels & Resorts and is in for a night of great food, good company & simple fun. Here is the close up of the photo. Well, I am sure there are more to come from Holiday Villa on their Facebook page. Of course this food preview was actually a preview of what’s to be offered on the 31st December 2010.

So it was Merryn Tan, Kian Fai and THE WEIRD ONE (ME) who will be dining there and dined did we. Now enough of the talk. Let’s get on with the show, errr… I meant food.

Opps.. this ain’t food. Well, just showing the surroundings around there. Since it’s dinner time, there are lights all around.

So now we have our first food for the night…. TA DAH….

Hey, this is no food. This is merely a decoration with oranges. Not just any mere decoration. It’s made of ICE. Yes, ice that’s slowly melting due to the light shining towards it. Such excellent masterpiece.

Finally I couldn’t take it anymore and I went to have my food after the opening speech by the organizer in charge. The first thing that brought my eyes to was the pastry area. Well, since it’s a poolside dinner and the most visible ones are beside the poolside and beside where I was sitting.

Bread comes in every shape and sizes. Strange enough, I did something else instead of eating it there and then. This was what I did.

Huh? What is this shot? Before this photo, look at the right side. You’ll noticed where this shot actually came about. Yes, so I can’t resist taking weird photos.

Now being a person to start with desserts it’s kind of different. Well, one good thing is that while everyone is queuing up to get the main dish, no one will fight for the queue when you start with dessert. So that’s where I was headed.

Cakes! Yes, and it’s Chocolate too. A favorite of mine. There are so many pastries and cakes out there, it’s extremely difficult to put everything of them in this post.

Now here are somethings to note. Let’s visit the food by their locality.

ASIAN FOOD

Yes, local Asian Cuisine. You have chinese style noodles and other Asian food that day. Seeing Asian food though, there are many varieties.

One of them is an Indian Food variety. If you’re a fan of mamak food and Roti Naan or Tandoori Chicken, you’ll know what this “BIG POT” is. Yes, it’s all natural fire in there and here it is, 2 bread is being cooked on top of it. Authentic food to say the least. Fresh from the open oven.

When one say Asian Food, one cannot forget about JAPANESE FOOD.

Yes, that’s Mr Takashi making the Temaki (Hand Rolled). Te means Hand in Japanese. How to write it. 手 (Kanji) or て(Hiragana) for ‘Te‘. Yes, I was surprised. They brought in a Japanese chef to prepare their Japanese food. That’s the quality you can get from here. Now as a fan of Japanese food, you bet that I took most of the food from the Japanese food section. *Evil laughter*

Next up….

WESTERN FOOD (Sort Of)

In lieu and in the spirit of Christmas and also Thanksgiving (a few days back), we had TURKEY. Ahhh… directly served straight from the whole turkey. What can I say about this? Impressed me a lot, the meat was so tender and cooked based on the expectation I had or rather much better than I expected. Definitely had seconds for this. Though had to keep my stomach for some other food tasting.

I also had Roasted Lamb (BBQ Lamb) and we can see it being prepared directly on top of a fire. Now that’s what I call fresh meat. The person doing the cooking was patient enough with me and even made a few fire to spark off from the fire place to help me take this shot. Verdict : The meat from this was cooked well. I love lamb.

There are other meat that I didn’t get to take photos of like the Beef, Chicken and other cutlery and meat dishes. Those posted are the few notable ones. Of course with so many meat being consumed, I need to have something refreshing and what a good idea then to head on to the dessert table and have a bowl of ice ball (Ice Kacang) with lots of ingredients thrown into it.

Of course, the end result is not that presentable but what’s more important is how tasty it is. Why do I say that? Ice melts, thus I delayed my shot till later and looked what it became.

Still nevertheless, superbly refreshing and cooling and look at the amount of ingredients in it.

Last but not least, let’s have a look at another category.

SEA FOOD

Another favorite of mine, seafood. This time we have clams, prawns, fish, crab and also oyster. Just look at the amount of clams here. Hey wait.. did I say Oysters????? You bet I did.

OYSTERS!!! I still remembered I last had Oysters a year ago and this time I get to eat it again. Though I wished one had a pearl in it so I could actually get RICH something out of it.

Somehow though, I felt that I shouldn’t eat so much if not later I would have problem walking back towards the car (Experienced it before and needed someone to support me yes…. I am a glutton). So this was all I took.

Two Oysters on my plate and that’s all I had. Though now I wished I had more.

Conclusion

Finally after all these food, you must be wondering how much will all this cost actually. Well, a normal buffet dinner would cost about RM70++. Ehh?? RM70++ with Oyster and lots of other varieties. Yes, you read it right.

Of course this whole thing wouldn’t be complete with a photo of the ones who got invited to the dinner. Alas the three of us took a shot and all thanks to Merryn.

Here are their links to this food review.
