Beancurd

After picking Sam up from St Andrew's Cathedral last night, we headed to the 'original' Rochor Beancurd stall near Selegie Road. Surprisingly the shop was very packed despite the late hour and we had much difficulty getting parking.

The rival sibling's beancurd stall was just next door but saw fewer patrons. As for me, I don't think I could differentiate the taste as I am not a food connoisseur. The beancurd we had was smooth and light, the yutiao not too oily but the egg tart a little too heavy. But since it's the more popular of the two shops, we went with the crowd :p

Dempsey Hill

Dempsey Hill has become our favourite haunt of late when we are in a mood to lounge, enjoy the greenery and tranquility. It is also getting more buzz these days as the former British Army barracks is being redeveloped into a latest wine-and-dine scene.

Our first visit to the area was some years back when we went for lunch at Sammy's Curry. In the past Christmases, we also visited the quaint St George's church that sits on the hill. In recent months, we enjoyed a couple of meals at PS Cafe. Lately, new cafes and restaurants have sprouted. There's Harry's bar, Ben & Jerry's, Margarita and Dome cafe (where we went this evening) apart from some high end restaurants and wine bars. In the day time, one could visit the spas, grocers, art gallery and of course the furniture shops.

We are excited about the development especially since it's so close to home. We could not resist the greenery, ambiance and privacy of the location. Thank God for the way our country is developing.
