Jump on a Saturday! + Symmetry:(

JUMP - Comic Martial Arts Performance 2013

This is the must-see-all-time-favourite show I watched today at RWS!
It's a must watch! Very entertaining and funny!

Synopsis (extracted from Sistic):
This is a story of a Korean family well-versed in martial arts, with a crotchety grandfather who enjoys nothing more than challenging the rest of the family to martial arts showdowns. The family members use their expertise to repel two burglars who break into their house, to hilarious effect -- showing off their extensive training in martial arts, acrobatics, gymnastics, as well as comic acting all at the same time.

But....... it will probably be too late for you to buy the tickets now (if you have not done so) since they only scheduled 4 shows for the year and the last show will be tomorrow:p

The boy cleverly bought the tickets when there is a 1for1 promo:) so we get to sit at Cat1 seat for half the price!

JUMP 2013:))

After the show, early dinner was at Symmetry. We took bus 61 and the ride took only around 30 minutes. Dinner was disappointing though - very disappointing in fact.

The cozy and quaint café was tucked at a corner at the end of a row of shophouses. The place was not fully occupied when we reached but understand that many seats have been reserved. Hence, we have to take the outdoor seats.

Dinner was 1 mains, 2 sides, 2 drinks. Apparently, the symmetry beef burger was out of stock for the evening so we ordered another side to replace it.

Mains: Pork Cheeks Pasta

The pork cheeks has a very strong porky smell - not too bad - but after one piece I feel like I have enough of it. The cream pasta with mushrooms tasted bland. Serving was small too but you wouldn't want more of it - because the dish was pretty 'gelat'

Pork Cheeks Pasta - $26

Side dish: Asparagus Soldiers

Much effort is put on the presentation of this dish (in fact for many of their other dishes too). The asparagus tasted yummy with the fried 'popiah' skin wrapped around it - there was a tinge of truffle smell. The 'chew' poached egg which was served on a pretty egg cup tasted decent.

Asparagus Soldiers ($16)

Side dish: Prawn Popcorn

This dish was served on a wooden board with wasabi sauce. It tasted like those finger foods you can find in NTUC  - maybe with abitttt more prawn.

Prawn Popcorn ($16)

Drinks: Mocha + Cappuccino

Good quality coffees with latteart:)



Mocha + Cappuccino ($5.50 each)
 

Total bill came up to $81.20 - very much overpriced for the quality of the food and the place was cramp indoor, hot outdoor. Would I return? Noooo.. at least not for dinner.

2 Blur Guys!

Dinner on a Wednesday at 2 Blur Guys! It was tucked at a little corner at Orchid Hotel near Tanjong Pagar mrt and basically served burgers. A rather cozy place - not many seats and there were only a few diners that night. There were quite a number who takeaways actually.

The place has a simple and yet all-rounded menu. They have chicken, pork, beef, salmon and even duck burgers, however, they have only one of each type to choose from.

 

This is the Premium Beef burger with Portobello (aka big mushroom)($17++). The sourdough buns are only slightly heated up. I would like it to be less thick and more crispy. The potatoes that came with it is cold - and I like it like that.



 

This is the Grilled Spice Chicken burger ($12++). The chicken is only slightly spicy and has the kind of BBQ chicken taste. However, it was rather too salty for my liking. If you are wondering what makes up of it:

" The grilled spice chicken burger  is seasoned with our special spice mix, the chicken thigh is grilled till succulent. Topping it with Gruyere cheese and curry mayo sauce completes the dish.
Served with mesclun salad drizzled in our special balsamic mix with olive oil, and chips"

Dessert to end the meal - Lava cake. Not the best lava cake I have tried but consider the price for this, it was definitely above my expectation (topped up $5.50++ for dessert and a drink^^)

Jus for Laugh!

LOL
Super funny video. The expression the bear gave after being scared by the tiger is sooo cute. This is also my first #instavideo in instagram!

Seoul Yummy - Bugis Plus

 

 Lunch at Seoul Yummy (Bugis+) last Sunday afternoon. Surprisingly, there was no queue when we reached around 1pm and we were ushered to our seats by the attentive staff promptly.

This collage (courtesy of Tessa, the bff) basically sum up all the food the 6 of us had that day, plus dessert (which don't look good but taste good) and the drinks.

Army Stew Set (Credits to Tessa^^)

Clockwise from top left:
1) Fish pancake (taste like carrot cake)
2) Beef (we love meat)
3) Appetizers (the waiter did not refill for us:( or is it unrefillable?)
4) Army Stew with assorted meat! (+ Maggi Mee) ~ Highlight of the day
5) Bibimbap (Chix)
6) Korean Tanghoon? (Forgot the name)
 

Close up for Bibimbap



Uncooked Army Stew

There are 2 types of Army Stew Set to choose from: Assorted Meat or Spicy Octopus and assorted Seafood. Each Set comes with 2 barley drinks, 2 brown rice, 1 appetizer, 1 dessert for $49.90 (very value for money!!). Since it is quite affordable, we top-up the drinks to ice lemon tea with aiyu jelly (cos we heard the barley tea taste bad?). We also top up both brown rice to bibimbap and the Korean tanghoon for $8.90 each.

The dessert was red bean soup with green rice ball - no picture though.

It was a satisfying and filling meal. We paid around $20 each. But I don't really fancy Korean food. The stew was salty and non-spicy at all, same for the Korean tanghoon - but maybe it's meant to be this way.
