Construction under progress~~

Saturday, February 28, 2009

Erm....
I changed my template..
Without realising it...
I deleted all my old sidebars...
So...
Trying to reconstruct back everything soon...
Hopefully...
But I am very slow with computers stuff...
So..
Please bear with me...
( Estimated time of completion: two months )

Btw...
The profile and photos link on the top DO NOT work...
I haven't have a clue how to add things into it..
Anyone has ANY idea ????

SOS!!!

Dinner time: Aroma Platter~~

Sienz of eating maggi mee or dapao downstairs during weekends..
So decided to go out makan with friends..
Luckily we did..
It was raining cats and dogs in the evening!!
Impossible to maintain dry while waiting for the pak cik downstairs to prepare the food..
Later the food might got additional moisture inside..
Plus with all the chemical stuff we learnt during secondary school ( Pollution, remember ? )...
Not to mention later get cold and sick..
On top of everything next week ( PBL, class tests, reports etc etc... )...
Really really cham liao lo then...

Anyway..
After so many additional push factors for outside food..
We ( or rather, I ) decided to head for Aroma Platter..
Since it is recommended by various people and it is very near~~
Just at Esplanade only.. ( On the condition: with car la~~ )
When we reach there, it was still drizzling..
So, as usual, get out of the car and dash for the shop lo...
But before we did that,
The waiter quickly came out and offered us umbrella for sheltering..
WAH... That was considerate le..
Never has this sort of treatment before at anywhere ye~~
Hmmmm...
( Mental tick: Bonus point!!! )

The shop was tastefully decorated.. ( According to my friends: Modern Zen style )
We are awed by it.. ( Hmmm.. Maybe a bit overstatement there la... )
BUT
The song the shop was playing was Chinese pop song..
The serene feeling and relaxing mood experience was UTTERLY gone!!
It was definitely not a good choice of songs!!!
( Mental teh-tehd: Minus mark... )
Anyhow..
The menu came and we ponder over it..
I wanna order this Chicken chop CRISPY rice, which was one of its signature dish..
BUT
The waiter told me: Erm.. We don't do this dish anymore..
I was like.. What?!?!?! It is a signature dish ye~~
How come it was cancelled from the menu?????? Super duper weird to me..
So..
I have to be content with Chicken Chop with Black Pepper Sauce..
Hoping it to be nice..

The dish came quite fast..
Probably due to the fact that there was not much people there..
Hmmm...
The food was OK... Quite nice to me..
But the Fish and Chips disappointed Angela...
There was more crispy outer coat than the fish..
She almost couldn't feel the fish when she is eating..
But other dishes was OK to the rest of my friends~~
Not exceptional but acceptable..
( Mental mark: Neutral )
The price is quite reasonable
And
It also do not charge extra for service taxes and government taxes..
( Mental tick: Bonus point!!! )
I do not know about IMU student discounts as all of us didn't bring any ID cards on us..
But it was one of the reasons of recommendations..
So, I think it should be true ba..

Overall...
To me..
It is a good place for meals..
Provided that you are not so picky on foods and songs..
But there are two types of chairs there: with back support, and without back support..
So..
If you wanna sit and chat for quite a long time...
You might need to chose those with back support...
Otherwise.. Back-ache ar..
( Or.. Perhaps I am too pampered ? Hmmmm... )

By the way, there is also some Reader Digest there for customers to read while waiting..
The magazines was published around 2006,
But its contents are still interesting and not so outdated yet..
Worthy to be read..
But the rack was placed in front of a pillar, which was in the middle of the shop
So, if you are sitting behind that pillar,
You might missed it though..

东禅寺之旅 2

Sunday, February 1, 2009

我们到达时是中午时分
虽然没有有名的灯饰,

稀少的人群
让我们很享受的游荡在花园中
拍拍照。。谈谈天。。
累了,就随意坐下,享受宁静的气氛。。
饿了,就到滴水坊,享受美味的食物。。
真得很轻松,很舒服!!

我们也去各种展示大饱眼福
有古窟中的雕像,有超级美丽的琉璃,也有舍利子。。
可惜可惜
统统不能摄影
因为,我们得尊重这些难得的艺术品
所以只能将它们存在记忆力罢了。。
不过
我们将它们的介绍书拿回来了
聊胜于无啦
哈哈哈哈哈

本想晚间在拍多点美丽的灯饰
无奈
越夜越多人
甚至
有段路,我们得挤着过去呢!! (这绝对不夸张!!!)
真的挤着挤着,心情也挤掉了啦!!
还正奇怪
这么这东禅寺有这么出名吗?这么有吸引力 ?
原来
初四在大雄宝殿有一出仿清朝的供佛献礼。。
有格格,公主,太子,皇帝,皇后,宫女。。
每个人的服饰都超美丽的。。(也超厚的。。看都觉得好热耶。。)
可惜忘了带照相机
没把那些场景留下来。。
不过
过后
我有乘机找其中的演员合照啦~~
( 他们刚好在我挂单的地方卸装。。我走运啦!!哈哈哈哈 )
就这样啦~~
东禅寺之旅便结束了。。
~ 我觉得值得纪念地啦 ~

( 很难得的。。我很早很早就入睡了。。
当然,隔天就很早很早起床了
早上的空气真得很清新耶~~
呵呵。。)
