THAI AFFAIRS @ millenia walk

it was so crowded at Suntec City last night.. to avoid the long waiting time for dinner, we decided to Millennia Walk, just opposite

not as much choices, and we tried this restaurant

portion is really small.. they do serve quite a variety of side dishes too... maybe tts why? 🤔

Green Curry Chicken @ $10 and rice to be ordered separately @ $2

Green Curry is not really spicy

few pieces of chicken and veg (carrots 🥕, long beans)

theres green curry taste but not the very strong type

Pad Thai @ $10

its abit too sweet but at least not tt oily

to me, it's average

heres the menu

📍 9 Raffles Boulevard, Millenia Walk #01-103 Singapore 039596

LITTLE VIETNAM @ guillemard road

Vietnamese food!

always like Vietnamese noodle dishes

came here quite some time back and today we are back cos husband had cravings for pho

heres the menu: https://littlevietnamsg.weebly.com/menu.html

this is what we have.. portion is not very large though but value for money

No GST or service charge

rice vermicelli with grilled lemongrass chicken @ $7.50

Chicken is nice but lemongrass is not very strong.. sprinkled with roasted chop peanuts 😋

I like the rice vermicelli! not the transparent type where we see in Chinese dishes.. it's not too soft nor chewy and the sauce makes it nicer.. abit of sweet, sourry, spicy

chicken meat with flat noodle soup @ $6.50

soup is nice, kind of peppery with chicken slices and flat noodles

shop is rather small with open space sitting.. so check the weather before heading!

CUPCAKES

I'm one of the lucky ones! Thanks to @minicakesandco_ for the instagram giveaway 🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁

The cupcakes look so pretty that my camera has to "eat" before me
There's 3 flavors, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate and the green cream makes it look so pretty and unique 😍

It's not too sweet, nor tasteless.. even my parents like it! 😋

Cake is soft but not too wet nor soggy

Just below the cream, there's a small cube of vanilla/strawberry/chocolate
Cream is nice too! Especially when you fridge it.. but I can't really tell the flavor of the pretty green cream

Tip: when I consume it immediately, the flavor of the cake is not tt strong.. after fridge it for few hours, the icy cold cream goes just so well with the flavorful cake 😍😍😋😋

Soup Spoon

VOLCANO RAMEN @ northpoint city

Volcano Ramen.. indeed it taste different from the normal ramen we always eat

and we chose soup base tt is unusual.. 

Kazan Curry @$18.80++

curry is not very spicy, like normal Jap curry, comes with Cha shu, abit of bean sprouts and cabbage

 

Hinomaru Tomato Kazan 🍅 @ $15.80++

comes with a whole tomato 🍅 with skin removed, some cabbage and lots of bean sprouts.. no meat served

thick ramen is being used and the texture is just nice.. not too soft nor too hard

both ramen comes with a hard boiled egg 🥚 and some shredded cheese 🧀 served separately

served in a hotpot, the sauce is poured and covered.. while waiting, seeing the smoke oozing out from the top of the cover, you will get to smell the soup 😋 especially the curry one

heres how you should do it.. but the staff is helpful and friendly to assist

all volcano ramen comes with rice 🍚.. which is served after we have finished the ramen... so leave some soup!

the rice is really nice!!😍 it's sticky and taste different from typical Jap rice...

posters states that the rice were self grown in Shiga Prefecture... must try!!!

heres the menu

I see ppl eating the normal ramen too..

but I will definitely come back again for the volcano ramen..

LIVE TURTLE AND TORTISE MUSEUM

do you like tortoises? 🐢🐢🐢🙋‍♀️
heard of Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum in Singapore only when there's a news that they are looking for a new location which was previously at Chinese Garden

now they are located at the North, abt 10mins walk from Khatib MRT
my husband suggested going for a visit knowing tt I will definitely like it! and he is right! we spent abt 2hrs there watching and feeding the tortoises.. they are so cute!!!! 😍😍😍 you get to feed the large tortoises, and the terrapins in the pond... 

entrance is not very visible, just a small door which is easily mistaken as a store door or resting area for construction site

entrance fees applies at $10

special price for children 6 years and below and seniors 60 years and above

its definitely worth it!

you can feed the tortoises too! 

you can get a small bunch of veg like this at $2 (for the large tortoises)

or $2 a small container of tortoise dry food (for those in the pond)

no outside food allowed

this is where the tortoises are

quite a variety species of tortoises, some in tanks that I believe is more aggressive ones...

place is sheltered for the tortoises and partly sheltered for the us

they are all it their own "house" but the wall is low.. so you can still reach to touch and feed them with the veg

this is the biggest.. by itself

"xiao-hei" is its name

this is the only one that out.. yes, you got to touch them, take as many photos as you like... I wonder if they know tt you are touching them 🤔

not sure why only one is out.. maybe cos its a weekday?

and they are very gentle animals, so please be gentle to them too!

this is an area with tortoises and turtles in tanks, quite a variety.. and you cant feed nor touch them

this is the terrapins pond

more than half of them are out to "sun-tan" and so relaxing 😎

theres 2 ponds for them and be careful... they cross the footpath to reach another pond

they enjoy stacking on each other.. dont know why but they are really gentle and friendly no fighting though this one jammed the path and the rest are in the water "queueing" 😅

this another group of tortoises.. its enclosed and i believe they bite?.. its unreachable but you can still feed them with veg

they seems to me more hungry then the rest.. you will see them trying munch as much veg as they can at a fast speed.. who says tt tortoises are slow?

on uneven level, they were at the "pond" area but after they saw veg, you will see them climbing towards you as a group... so cute!!

im lucky enough to witness the house cleaning and this is where the terrapins are most excited abt... i not sure why but they were just running ard

and even crossing to another pond

see you again!
