Birthday Dinner@ Tower Club on 29 Dec 2020

Celebrating birthday with my close relatives. Ambience and food is good but best of all is the companionship.

Sheng Siong supermart overcharged by mistake?

 

We bought 2 bundles of spinach (1 red & 1 round) from Sheng Siong supermarket this morning but was charged for 3 bundles (2 red & 1 round). We didn't realised it until we got home when we, out of curiosity, checked the receipt. Could this overcharging a mistake on the part of the cashier? Could this "mistake" be made frequently without the customers knowing it? We seldom check the receipt against what we bought as we trust the supermarket. We could have disputed the matter but the supermaket is a distance away and it's not worth our time and effort to travel all the way to rectify the issue. I blog the matter so as to bring awareness to all.

Still maintaining my weight

I cooked the bee hoon and spinach or bayam and had them for lunch.The curry puff was for dinner. The bee hoon was stir fried with chopped garlic and small pieces of meat. The same went for the spinach. Of course, I used a little bit of oil and light soya sauce. I also made my own yogurt and had it for afternoon tea. All in all my weight still remained the same (69.4 kg) when I got up this morning.

How I made my yogurt

I mixed a teaspoon of honey and apple cider vinegar and stirred well. Then I poured fresh milk into the mixture and voila my homemade yogurt!

 Bingo!my weight is 69.4 kg on waking up!

My weight has stabilized

 Since my weight has stabilized around 69.2/69.4 kg, I am able to enjoy my favorite hawker food without feeling guilty.

I had sliced fish in soup with bitter gourd and lettuce plus a bowl of rice for lunch

and a bowl of Eng's noodles as well as some hay pia for dinner. With these food, I am confident I will wake tomorrow morning weighing in the low 69 kg. Below are pictures of today's meals.

Determined to control my body weight

After 2 days of gorging on tim sum and Thai food,I gained 800 grams of weight. As a health freak, I was terribly disappointed with myself. So to counter the weight gain, I stuck to food like vegetables and fish with a bowl of rice over 2 days, I managed to not only lost the 800 I've gained but lost a total of 1.6 kg.

Sanook Thai Restaurant at Changi Jewel

 

We ordered the Sanook set meal for 2. It was a satisfying meal and worth the money. The meal set was $26.90++. The chendol was an additional item ($3.90). The Thai chendol was not fantastic at all. It does not contain gula Melaka (Malacca brown sugar) so it was not up to my expectation.

The place was packed the Q was quite long even at 3.30 pm. Good food and a "must try".

Tim sum breakfast with friends

 

We had a nice tim sum with our friends at Tung Lok (Orchard Towers) on Sunday. It was a buffet service from 10.00 am till 12.30 pm. When we arrived at 10 am the restaurant was full. However, we had made a reservation the day before so seating isn't a problem. The food was not super good but good enough for the price of $28.50++ for each person. I particularly like the chicken feet and the siew mia.

Lunch with my Grab driver friend

 

Met my friend who is a Grab driver. He persuaded me to have lunch with him at Food Republic. Over lunch, he related lots of interesting stories regarding his current job. He has been driving for over 7 years and is making a decent living, he told me. One day when I have the time I will publish his stories here.

Since he asked me for lunch, he paid for the meal which was quite good.
