12th July 2007

Nothing special abt the date itself but this is a date where Karen and I met up to go to East Coast's Shi Nai Cafe.

The first shot we took when we got off the bus.

The sky was in a shade of purplish pink.
very nice.

Karen wanted to take a picture.
I could only manage a potrait shot since on the right there's all the buildings and construction planes spoiling the view.



somemore the streetlights lended some magic to the picture.

i'm glad we took this shot tho.
it's pretty sweet and for the fact that after we walked everywhere else, the sky was back to the usual dull blue hue.

it's less crowded today at the cafe.

we didn't have to queue up for seats hehehe

ordered quite a number of stuff and my drinks were the usuals.


my favourite po luo baaaaaaao!!!!

i ordered the vegetarian (means plain) po luo bao.
po luo technically means pineapple but the bun doesnt taste very pineapple-lish to begin with.

everytime i come to this cafe, the po luo bao is a sure order.

i dun fancy the char siew stuffing ones.

Karen ordered minced beef cheese baked rice.
i had this before.
it's very good.

the sauce is generous enough to not have your rice end up being too cold and dry.
the cheese is hot and chewy. so you basically don't get the cold hardened cheese on your rice.

I actually ordered pork ribs (dim sum) but i forgot to take a shot of it.
surprisingly, karen never tried it before.
but nvm, i havent tried it till recently as well but my first taste of it was in geylang.
i didn't like the taste of the ones i ordered in shi nai but karen tot they tasted great.

my main course was porkchop rice with curry.

the curry sauce wasn't really spicy but i guess it tasted alright.
shld've asked them for more sauce.

the meat was a little to hard and i was surprised when i saw that my porkchop was not cut into pieces beforehand. i struggled a lil with my fork and knife haha..

later that night karen came over to my hse and had me paint her nails for her.
