Met up with Hubby at Bugis yesterday for lunch and decided to try out this stall that seems to be famous for its wantons.
But the main reason that attracted us was....

Looks so interesting and tempting! So Hubby went to order our lunch while I find a seat. After a few mins, these dishes appeared on our table~
It looks like normal xiao long bao but inside its oyster! When you drink the juice, you can taste the oyster and its quite fresh. But must take it hot, cos when it cools down, got a “腥味”.
Noodles with Mushroom wantons & shrimp wantons
I actually felt other than the skin was thicker than the usual wantons, it tasted quite normal, nothing special. Or maybe I was complaining to Hubby about "someone".
扣肉
Sinful!!! It was quite Q, but find it a tad too salty and fat.
After lunch, we walked around and Hubby said to go Kinokuniya. I was looking for a mag recently cos I watch recorded shows of 女人我最大 on weekends at Hubby's place. They always have those tips on makeup/dressing etc which I find interesting and informative. The contradicting thing is my make-up skills are so-so, I have minimum make-up and I am damn lazy to make-up. I don't put on make-up at all on weekdays when I have to work unless I have meeting with external parties, going somewhere after work or if I just suddenly feel like it. This happens like less than 10 times a year, lol. Oops, digressing... Anyway, they introduced this mag which has the make-up tips and items used in the show, so I decided to buy for fun to read. It costs $12.99 loh! But my sweetest, dearest Hubby who sayangs me so much bought it for me, hehe... So nice of him hor? =p
Front & Back Cover
Hubby said he wanted to buy his mini helicopter to play in his room and suggested going to Far East to buy, so I said ok and we went to take the train. While waiting for the train, we took a pic and only when I reached home then I noticed it was blurry becos I forgot to off the macro mode, sob sob...
Could not find what Hubby wanted at Far East and took bus to Millenia Walk instead. Went to collect our tickets for "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs"! We're going to watch on 26/Nov, 1930hrs which is also our 77th mth anni~ Hehe...
Walked over to Suntec, Carrefour after that find his helicopter but nothing catched his fancy. We decided to have dinner first cos my legs were breaking from walking around 1+pm till 8+pm. While walking around the circle of restaurants, we saw this restaurant which seemed to be newly opened - 汤点王, a Shanghainese Restaurant. The dishes on the menu looked interesting and they had this soup in claypot which almost every table ordered. I love soups so it was like a must try
The decor on the ceiling
I liked the dim lighting and it was playing oldies in the bacground which completed the atmosphere. Of cos it was a little noisy being dinner time, town area and a Chinese Restaurant. But I quite like the decor and there is an area where there were round glass tables for bigger groups I supposed. I was telling Hubby if only we could jio more people in future and eat at that area, seems quite nice. I supposed it will be quite romantic on a weekday and since it will be more quiet, maybe the environment will be better.
I remembered taking photo of the claypot, but somehow I can't find it in my hp when I wanted to upload the pics. =(
The yummy soup~ There were fish, red beans, tapioca (I think) etc. Fragrant & light.
荷叶饭 with waxed meat and dried shrimps
Cabbage rolls with different types of mushrooms inside
One of their recommended Chicken dishes
Dinner cost about $60+ and we had no room for desserts. Hope in future can get more to join us, then can try more stuff. Would love to try some dim sum, porridge and dessert!
Got this from the website featuring Suntec's new tenants:
Shanghai Restaurant
#B1-033/034/035/036
For some real Shanghainese fare, look no further than the new kid on the block, Tang Dian Wang Shanghainese Restaurant!
Expect to find all the authentic dishes, such as chilled drunken chicken. So get ready for the real Shanghainese experience, right here at Suntec City Mall.
Do give it a try if you're looking for something different since the common styles are usually Hong Kong, Taiwan, Beijing, Teochew, Cantonese etc (don't forget to jio also, lol).
Had to nowhere to go after dinner and didn't wanna walk further, so decided to go Hubby's place first. Once I went into his room, I felt so cheated and my legs were aching for nothing...
He had a helicopter in his room!!! Arghz!!! He still happily show off to me and operate it in his room. Kuku loh! Then I walk for 7hrs for nothing?!?!?! Grrr.... Lucky I didn't go buy earlier on loh... Hmph, he's dead meat liao.
