ROM 7-Dec-08

many people ask : why dun u have your ROM together with Customary?

Our question is simple : ROM is something we wanted, and we want to enjoy the celebration and invite only a few frens and close kins to witness our important day.

Customary wedding is something that the parents wanted, and of cos, due to them, we will have this busy and memorable day to remember :)

We wanted our ROM is be simple and natural, the criteria is simple, witness in a garden(natural and relax), and have lunch in an aircon restaurant(so that my dear dear wun be melting. hehe...), and of cos the place must have contigency plan if it rains, as its Dec rainy season. And this is our venue : Secret Garden

Hcmc 2008

Our Vietnam trip is full of shopping, good food, and adventure =)

Makaning

Lets see the most important good food!

When you walk round Ben Thanh market, you will see people queueing for this...it is something like "vietnamese abacus". Its worth a try, something special.


We walked around the market again, and we saw someone eating this...so we tot we shld give it a try. It is something like our "lao su fen in assam laksa". This is reali nice, a MUST TRY. The Chendol is a must try too! Dun be horrified by its appearance, cos the stalls will have many glasses of chendol, all in different colours...looks abit...disgusting actually....but but....its yummy. hehehe...



This is our breakfast at Redsun hotel at Pham Ngu Lao. We have a choice of Baguette or Pho. Got banana too! Both are yummy.*finger licking good*better than international breakfast buffet!


Kobi is amazed by the dripping vietnamese coffee...try it at their local coffee shop for an authenic taste and experience (they will all sit to face the road). If possible, avoid highlands coffee...more pricey and not nice at all. Their coffee taste like cough syrup*choked*


We are looking for a seafood restauant, recommended by the lonely planet...but I guess its closed,or address is wrong, cos we walk 200 rounds and still cannot find it!! So we settle for this Indian restaurant, and surprisingly, the food is good too!



This is a Jap restaurant that Kobi brought me. They serve good food at reasonable prices, and their portions are huge!

We did make any reservations, and they are actuali full when we were there. Somehow, one couple agreed to change to a 2 seater table instead of 4, so we manage to squeeze into the restaurant for a meal. Their food is good, but a little pricey.



Opps! where is meow meow's portion? Heehee..
Meow meow order goose liver salad and its yummy!




This is the Lemongrass recommended in the Lonely Planet. I would suggest to miss this. Their food is only so-so. We order a fish, and its coated with salt. So scaryly salty!!




and not forgetting the typical pho at Pho 24. Another typical chain is Pho 2000.






Shopping

We manage to find some nice lacquerware for our new home =)

This is the chinatown. Tink it is a wholesale market, everyone sells in dozens. See how these guys carry the goods, its so amazing....







Manicure and Pedicure


Meow meow did manicure, pedicure, and foot scrub. See, so many ppl serve me... I am like a queen. hehehhe
whisper : Kobi did his manicure too*

Cuchi tunnel

Our biggest adventure

This is our biggest adventure in hcmc. we spend like 6 to 7 hours here...went back 4 times!

The Tailor shop, I tailor 3 dresses and 1 skirt...and they looked....weird....alter, alter and alter...till the cloth got "much much"(uncountable) holes...but still, it a good experience! hahaha! In the end, I only got 2 dresses and a skirt back, cos the other dress is a total cmi cmi :p

Not bad hor, I still can pose! hehehe...

OMG, jus by saying all these, I miss hcmc again...when can i go back for more?

hmm.....

Malacca 2008

My colleagues and i have been talking about malacca trip for months, and finally it came true! and I tell u wat...its worth waiting for :)

U will not believe the amount of food we had in a 2D1N trip. We had yong tau fu, baba laska, assam laksa, seafood dinner, oyster mee sua breakfast and peranakan lunch, and of cos, the best cendol i ever had! and as usual, for food, not much photos lah, mouth too fast, hands too slow..Hahahhaha...

OMG!!! I need to look slim for my ROM!!! But how can resist so much good food? ARGH!!!!!!!

Best cendol! A must have in malacca, without this, u dare to tell ppl u been to malacca?

Our seafood dinner

hehehe....we concentrate so much on the coconut!
