Gardens by The Bay - Begonia Brilliance

Last Saturday my boyfriend decided to bring me to Gardens by The Bay for our saturdate. We gotten the ticket at $6 (huge thanks to his colleague!!). See the ticket below that there's difference from the normal ticket. Our ticket has SG Red Cross wording =)

2 tickets at $12.00 for entry to Flower Dome and Cloud Forest

To be honest, I don't really like the crowd LOL hence I always avoid to visit this place (only visited if there's special occasion) Plus I don't really like if the pictures I taken are being spammed by tons of people on the background LOL (I know I'm kinda selfish yea hahaha)

People mountain people sea LOL (taken from the upper level from the entrance of Flower Dome)

This time around, they are showcasing Begonia. This genus of plant contains 1,795 different plant species (Thanks Wikipedia !! 😄) Try to read more information about this plant by googling them but my head is kinda spinning around (thanks to monthly aunt visit) so I don't really understand it. Anyway, since I'm not florist nor gardener, I will just enjoy taking picture and the accompaniment of my boyfriend 😂😂

Scroll below to see more pictures taken using my Huawei P20Pro =)
The effect of the camera is really awesome (I did not use any filter for all the pictures) and I'm still amazed on how the AI works perfectly !!

The Begonia flower will be gone from Garden by The Bay by this week. I believe they are switching to other flowers (don't know what flowers but I'm sure it will be another pretty scenery to be captured). I love flowers hence I really like to attend such exhibition. But again, just like I mentioned above, I don't like to come here because of the overflowing of people 😂😂

Don't forget, it's until end of this month only. Go now if you haven't go and before you regret =)

翠華 Tsui Wah Singapore

The new hype in town is this restaurant from Hong Kong, 翠華 Tsui Wah !!

Managed to visit on Sunday for brunch (we were there at 10.22am and started queuing LOL) Since it’s still fresh in town there’s no doubt that you will have long queue even before the opening hours. By 10.45am, one of the employees started to distribute fan (you can see picture below) for all the customers while another one started to take queue number (asking you how many pax and your name)

The Free Fan !! LOL

I did not manage to take the interior of the restaurant but I did snap few pictures of the menu (though it might not be that clear). Scroll below to see the picture =)

For this time, we ordered just 2 main and 1 dessert and a drink (both of us ordered the same stuff but it's not their specialty, which is milk-tea, because we had Gongcha yesterday so enough with milk-tea haha)

The dishes we ordered were Kagoshima-Style Braised Pork Cartilage with Tossed Instant Noddles, King Prawn in XO Sauce with Tossed Noodles, and Savory French Toast Bites served with Vanilla Ice-cream. Overall, the food was okay (not like wow! Delicious!!) but still acceptable. 

The King prawn was very fresh, but the noodle is too dry for me; so I added almost half bowl of the soup to the noodle LOL.

King Prawn in XO Sauce with Tossed Noodles, $11

My boyfriend had the other main and he really likes it. The pork cartilage is cooked to perfect tenderness and the noodle is not too soggy (it is like Maggie noodle LOL)

Kagoshima-Style Braised Pork Cartilage with Tossed Instant Noddles, $9.50

As for dessert, we had the French Toast. We waited for quite a long time (almost 30mins 😭😭) The table beside us ordered the Crispy Bun with Condensed Milk (one of their signatures), but eventually, they gave up and just canceled the order. The main reason why it was late (as per the employee) is because the vanilla ice-cream is not available anymore! Hence, they asked if it was okay to switch it to matcha which is totally fine with us =) When it was served, I was quite perplexed cause the ice-cream doesn't look like matcha ice-cream 😅 

 French Toast with Vanilla Ice-Cream, $9.50

The Yuen Yeung (coffee and tea) is mixed to perfection !! Love it so much that I don't mind to go back there again to have it HAHAHA

 Yuen Yeung, $4

To be honest, while I was waiting, I checked the review on their Facebook page (you can click here) and I was quite surprised as there are few 1star rated (mostly because of the waiting time for the food). But hey, let's be fair to the team too as it is still newly operated and all the operation might still be trial and error. 

Though we waited quite long for the dessert, the food is still good anyway (not that when it comes out the ice-cream melted and the toast tasted bad) so I will still give four-star =)

PS: THANK GOD they kept my boyfriend sling bag !! He left it at the restaurant and just realized it after 15mins later 😌😌
