Uncle Leong Signatures

One of the weekday Hubby suddenly decided to work from home, Lunch time hubby said there's a lot of weekday lunch special at waterway point. We went over to look for weekday lunch special and came across Uncle Leong Signatures offering one for one rice or noodles dish. Decide to give it a try. Didn't wait very long for our food, on a weekday lunch time not much people at the restaurant. Food was very yummy too. Might come back again for the lunch special. haha

Introduce by Sis, keep saying very famous and popular. She jio me for lunch that day, very near my house so gave it a try loh. Ok quite nice, there's not much food selection in Punggol we can't find good porridge one. Hubby did notice this porridge shop before but we didn't went in to try before because hubby notice like not much people. Actually is because it only open from 6.45am to 2pm daily only. Another great find in our neighborhood.

Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodle (Esplanade Mall)

#01-13C Esplanade Mall

I told Hubby I wanna try this prawn noodle, so we went down during the Good Friday. Wasn't very crowded at the time we went as we went for early dinner. Soup base is very sweet, we order their special mee kia. Quite nice but I prefer the Sumo Big Prawn noodles more. hehe 

April exercise month

April have been a month that I exercise the most...haha couldn't even believe myself as well. I went jogging and swimming myself! Highest record was three times in a week. So not me right? Wake up early to go for jogging or swimming. 

Need to drop some weight this month, I also dropped some intake of rice. Nowadays our dinner rice I'll cut down the amount. Hubby also wanna reduce the intake of rice at night. Hopefully it will help us with reducing some of our fats! haha

Stopped exercise this week due to mense, need to start again next week. Jia you!

越来越南走 ～ 河内 Day 4

Last day at Hanoi, we wake up and went out for Vietnam coffee. Hubby is super excited when he gets to know that Vietnam got egg coffee. He said he must get to try it. Ok loh. He did the research and bring me to a coffee shop near hotel. The shop is quite crowded, hubby said it's quite famous for tourist to come. We ordered 2 egg coffee, hubby was surprised that I wanted to try the egg coffee. Haha since we are here liao and everyone tried so I shall just give it a try too loh. 

After the breakfast coffee we went back hotel for a rest again before we go for our lunch. Hubby arranged another expensive lunch venue, A restaurant that service fusion food, quite high rated by tourist too. Of cause not to mention the price of that meal. But I'm really happy with the food and the restaurant. 

After lunch hubby arranged for us to go to a cafe for a leather making workshop. We called Uber to go to the cafe cause it's quite far away from hotel. The cafe is at level 1, the leather workshop is at Level 2. You can see their sample to see what you want to make or you can research first then let them see photo of what you want. The shop staff will help you to draw out the layout and measurement and teach you how and what to do. The wallet I wanted to make is very simple so I finished my work quite fast, hubby took longer time to finish his product. I even helped him to use his balance materials to do a clip for earphone. The biggest regret for me was to ask them to emboss my name on my wallet! Because they did it upside down! So my wallet became damn ugly. Haiz 

We Uber back to hotel after we finished our work and went out for dinner. Wanted to go for a drink after dinner, walk to the pub lane and just decide one pub and we went in to sit down. But too bad just when we started drinking hubby told me something is behind my chair. I was so scared so we decided to leave the pub with our beer. Our drinking session only last for a few minutes. hahaha 

Next day our flight back to SG is in the morning so nothing much, we just have our breakfast at airport and we come back to SG. 

I quite enjoyed the trip, very relaxing. I quite like the lifestyle in Hanoi very peaceful and lay back. Love the feeling of the evening stroll at the park area which we seldom do it in Singapore. Thank you Hubby to bring me oversea again. Love all his planning. 

越来越南走 ～ 河内 Day 3

Day 3 still on cruise at Ha long bay. There's Tai chi session at 6.30am, that's too early we decided we need a little more beauty sleep. We wake up at 7am for breakfast because we get to visit Vung Vieng village at 7.30am. Breakfast is buffet style, by the time we reach the hall most of the ang mo already start eating.... 

After breakfast visiting at Vung vieng village, we board on the rolling boat go around. Quite scary to step onto the boat, I scare I sea sick... heng never. 

After that we went back to our room to pack our luggage to check out. then we had our brunch at the cruise before we go back to land. Which is another 4hours car ride back to Hanoi city. 

We reach Hanoi city around 3.30pm check in new hotel for two nights.

Went tea break straight after that as I was hungry. Hubby bring me to eat waffle, didn't expect the waffle so small in the end eat liao as if never eat anything. 

As it's a Sunday, they closed a very busy road for weekend activities. I was so surprise to see many kids were playing games on the road. Some played 踢键子  there's also another group playing some stone game on the road too. Well you wouldn't see Singapore children will still played such games anymore all playing computer games on handphone. 

We walk round the busy street of Hanoi and brought tickets for the water puppet show at night.

I was having muscle pain after he Co cave climbing, many restaurant in Hanoi you need to climb up some staircase. Hubby don't want me to climb staircase anymore and I was very hungry so dinner was just burger king. hahaha There's no Mac donald at Hanoi else it will be Mac donald.... LOL 

We then went supermarket for shopping then went back hotel rest awhile before we come out again for walk walk and water puppet show. 

We also went to the weekend night market again and got myself some more stuff to bring home. That's the end of Day 3. :) 

越来越南走 ～ 河内 Day 2

Day 2 need to wake up very early, as we need to travel 4 hours car ride to Ha long bay. Hubby booked the bus at 7.30am, we went down hotel for breakfast at 7am. But the bus came very early, we just quickly finish our food and went up and take our luggage to check out. 

Our hotel breakfast...not bad leh.

Hubby booked a 7 seater car which is consider quite good very spacious. The driver picked us up 1st and went to another hotel to pick up another 5 ang mo. We get to choose our seats! Heng he picked us first so we took up the front seats, more spacious and we can even charge our handphone. I basically slept through out the whole 4hours car ride which is very good I wouldn't get car sick or sea sick later. Of cause I took medicine to prevent having car sick. I'm those type cannot sit inside the car for too long and will get motion sickness one. 

The 7 seater car....

There's toilet break after 2 hours at the tourist stop, many car stop there. We just went toilet and walk around to wait for our driver to come back from his break. 

Reached the harbour around 12pm and wait for our ship to come. We boarded the small ship to travel to the cruise. After boarded the cruise we had a little brief on our itinerary for the 2day1night cruise before we check into our room. Our room comes with a balcony and jacuzzi bath tub. We didn't use the jacuzzi bath tub as hubby said when on dirty water comes out. On well doesn't matter lah didn't call the staff to check as I didn't intend to use it. We then had our buffet lunch before we go to Co cave. 

Our cruise look like this...

On the small boat need to wear life jacket....

Our room

At the top deck of our cruise...

We went to Co Cove around 2.30pm, then went back to the cruise around 4pm. There's Kayaking available but you need to book with the guide. We decided not to go for Kayaking, we had a drink at the bar since there's happy hour. After that we just rest and relax in our room. 

In the night there's cooking demo at 6pm at the top deck of the cruise. All went up to see the demo, they teach you how to make Vietnam traditional spring roll. 

The spring roll taste so yummy as it was just out from the hot oil so it's super nice to eat when it's so cold in the night at the top deck. I'm so going to try cooking this in SG when I'm back. haha 

After the demo we went down for dinner, Hubby and I was thinking if the staff thought we were china people. Our dinner was served very different from the ang mo. The ang mo had only one pumpkin soup, one prawn starter, one plate of main course (one small potion rice, meat, vege). But our potion is so different like served in chinese restaurant and we got one extra chinese herb chicken soup that the ang mo doesn't have. Both hubby & me were laughing at our potion as we really couldn't finish all. I thought it's quite nice they did take note that we are chinese and decided to change the potion for us thinking we are bigger eater than the ang mo...don't know why they have this thinking. But on the other hand I still hope we was served with the same potion as the ang mo.... hahaha 

During the dinner, cruise staff will sing and dance for the guest. Even the tour guide will also join in, so happening. They seems to enjoy their job which is very good! One like for them. Good job! 

After dinner we went back to room and shower and rest for the night. Very relaxing day.
