Asian delights: One

So we are finally leaving Singapore in exactly a week now! :) Honestly, I'm pretty excited although there's so much here to give up.. JUST LIKE ASIAN DELIGHTS! So my siblings (including my brother) and I came up with this list in which contains places and food to eat before we leave. So we are currently fulfilling it in this week by having breakfast, lunch and dinner. Trust me, I'm feeling such a fatty.

So first thing on the list which have been strike out: MELLBEN SEAFOOD

If you haven't tried this yet, you're totally missing out in life. A definitely must-eat-food in Singapore. Let the photos speak before words do..

P.S: Pardon the stupid captions below the pictures. I've no idea why blogger is doing this to me. :(

Where Mellbone Seafood is.

The exact location and address. GPS it! :) 

Look at the damn queue! :( 

The amount of food we ordered for 8 people and 1 baby! :) Obviously we are a fatty family that can gobble down any food that comes in our way

Look at the amount of people that were already eating dinner! This is taken at 6pm. Typical Singaporeans trying to avoid the dinner crowd. :D

My little niece all excited for her favourite crabs. :)

Bamboo clams! 

Their all-time favourite and best thing ever crabs. I honestly can't remember what's the name of it, but trust me it's the biggest picture on their menu, so it's very easy to spot. :D 

Ordered 2 bowls! Woohoo.

The girl who was taking our order recommend this - Strawberry prawns, or something like that. It's super weird, but I guess it's an acquired taste. I feel the prawns itself it good without the strawberry thing. :D 

Salted egg coated pork ribs! This is not too bad. 

We missed out 2 photos of tofus. One tofu is their signature dish which is like, probably, handmade tofu with some gravy and there are pork floss on top. We didn't really like it, so I guess you can not try it. And there's another which is some deep fried tofu thing. It's rectangular in shape and you can find it on the menu of the top right of the 2nd page? I think I'm pretty creepy by memorizing their menu.

Anyhow, if you haven't tried this, YOU MUST!

We started queueing from 6pm, and as you can see from the photo, the queue is horribly long. But trust me, it's worth the wait. We waited for about an hour plus before we can finally have a table, but 45 minutes more for the food to be cooked. The bad thing about this place is that you cannot call up and reserve tables. It's a must to queue. You can only call up to order take aways (if I'm not wrong).

We ate on Sunday night thus the waiting time is so long but obviously the queues for weekends are far worst than weekdays, but you still have to queue no matter what. Let me tell you a secret though! If you intend to eat there, go in big groups roughly about 6-8 people. Because they have more big tables than small ones. People who comes in twos or fours have a higher chance of waiting for a table than to groups. :D

You can follow our Asian delights for this whole week! :) I've placed a tag on the right borders!

Puzzle

Hey! I haven't been contributing to the blog for quite some time! So I will be posting today's post! Anyway, we have been dying to do a jigsaw puzzle for quite some time now. And finally daffy bought it  when she went out last week! :) Buying a jigsaw puzzle is PRETTY expensive!! $60+ for the jigsaw puzzle and $70+ for the frame! Wow!

Okay so here's the picture that we are suppose to get to at the end! You think it looks simple? It's one of the craziest puzzle to do. The borders are all white. The clouds looks exactly the same. The grass and flowers looks exactly the same too. :(

Close up on the 4 characters! BABY WINNIE THE POOH CHARACTERS! :):) Baby tigger, baby piglet, baby pooh and baby eeyore! :):) The actually represent the 4 of us. Hehehe! Pretty cute eh? :D

Okay so let's go! Step 1 to solving a jigsaw puzzle: POUR THE PIECES OUT!! :):)

Step 2: do the borders first! This jigsaw puzzle's borders is super crazy because it's totally white, so we literally just tried every piece to each other, hoping they will fit perfectly!

Step 3: Do the obvious pieces first. For this jigsaw, it's definitely the 4 cartoon characters! For your information, the 2 pictures below were fixed within less than 24hours since the unwrapping of the jigsaw! Aren't we fast? :D:D Hehehe.

Okay, so we finished everything but the clouds. Seriously, the clouds is INSANE. We gave up doing for afew days but finally we took time to sit down and stress over the clouds. And we managed to fix all within a week! That's pretty impressive by the fact that we had our own lives and we didn't do much for the first few days. Hahaha :):)

TADAAAAA!! We finally finished the entire jigsaw puzzle! WOOHOO! Oh by the way, it's 1000 pieces! I'm so happy!! :D:D So step 4: Take the glue that they gave in the jigsaw puzzle box and cover all over it! Make sure that you cover the ends too! :):) REMEMBER to put something underneath it or else it will get stuck to the floor or table.

Step 6 (Last and final step): After waiting for the glue to dry! Take the whole jigsaw puzzle and put it in a nice frame! :):) And ta-da! Our masterpiece! :):)

So there's something we can tick off the list now - doing a 1000jigsaw puzzle! :):) Good bye and sorry for the crappy posting :P
