after watching the movie we went to orchard central for dinner. the intention was to eat dinner first, then go to manpuku and sit down at our favourite seat to wait until 830 pm, which is when orchard road will turn off the lights to commemorate earth hour.


when we reach orchard central we checked the list of restaurants on the directory. omg there is genki! genki has made a comeback! 


but we din go genki to eat lah. we went tung lok instead, because i received my performance bonus already. hahahaha.


taking photo while waiting for the lift.

thai-style tofu. it was a chef recommendation on the menu but it tasted quite ordinary.

ta da! next time dun order this!

wasabi mayo prawn. wah this one is power. signature dish. confirm must order. dun order will regret. a bit expensive though. 24 dollars.

old cucumber soup. this one also power. inside the soup got prawn, scallop and crab meat. not the put inside steamboat that kind of crabmeat hor. is the real crab meat. 

tau huey pudding with avocado sauce. very nice!


so after the dinner we went to manpuku. we ordered the green tea tiramisu cake with custard base. taste quite ordinary also.




and we finally waited until 830 pm. wah lao disappointing sia. only switch off some of the lights. orchard road is still as bright as ever. yawn~
