Feast 66 at Food Capital

For a post Mother's Day celebration, we went for a Saturday lunch buffet at Grand Waterfront Copthorne Hotel.  The Foodcapital buffet restaurant expands to the 3 restaurants (Food Capital, Tempo, Grissini) at the hotel's lobby during weekends.  Guests are welcomed by the contemporary ceiling lights which gives a homey and elegant feeling.

Char Casual Dining

Located along Jalan Besar, a one way road between Lavender and Farrer Park MRT stations, occupying two levels of a 4 story quaint conservation shophouse owned by The Lee Clan Association, is where you can find the Char Casual Dining Restaurant.

From outside, one will notice a plain glass wall, with scribbles of colored pen.  Inside, a cozy atmosphere welcomes.

Main specialty is their Charsiew, a roast pork belly which have a lovely tenderness, with the crackling crispness of the skin.

Also heard their boneless spare ribs with salted egg yolk sauce is also a must try,

To balance the meal, we had Tou Miaow with dried scallop, as the 3rd dish.

Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and the pricing is quite reasonable.  Spent around 60+ SGD for a table for 4.

Woodlands Train Checkpoint

Ever since living in Singapore, I always took trips via bus from Woodlands bus interchange to Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and all those travel experience were often faced with horrible long queues.

Northernmost Siam

On our second day in Chiang Rai, we had the usual hotel's complimentary breakfast.

Frontier of Three Land

CHIANG RAI – Thailand’s northernmost province captures the spirit of larger-than-life Thais who left their imprint on the land.
