Hi there! This is ichig0.
This is where I share bits and pieces of things happening in my life. Mostly about travelling, FOOD, music (mostly Kpop) and CUTE stuff!
Hope whoever that stops by here enjoy this small space of mine on the internet. Feel free to drop a message at the message board~
Have a nice day :3

After we left Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm, we stopped by at Arthurs Seat for some views. Be prepared for lots of greens and blues! It's gonna be so good for your eyes and you'll feel calm. I hope! :P
Arthurs Seat. 305m.
It was so hot in the afternoon!
Viewing tower.
The big, green, old & hot chair.
HAHA
Wanted to sit on it to take a photo but it was really too hot and I didn't want my leggings to stick on it LOL
Maybe another time~
Arthurs Hotel that is right across the road from the green chair.
Beautiful view when you turn to the right.
Tried my best to capture the view on the left but I guess I am not tall enough to exclude other visitors who were enjoying the beautiful view~
After taking some photos, we continued to go downhill. The heat was unbearable so we didn't go to the park.
Anyway, if you are interested in Arthurs Seat, do click here for directions/info or here for some of its history.
So, on the way downhill, we stopped by at Murrays Lookout.
Murrays Lookout. 247m.
Beautiful!
Mother nature is so beautiful!
Really!
A ring in the water~
That was where we came from.
This picture does not show how steep the road is!!
You gotta be really careful when you take photos at Murrays Lookout cos you're halfway on the hill/slope!
*balance*
When we got off the hill, we were a little lost with the way back so Karen stopped the car at this waterfront to check on her phone and gps. I'm sorry for being a bad navigator :S
I can't recall the name of this place so I'm just gonna call it the waterfront. It's about 10 to 15 minutes from Murrays Lookout.
Being the touristy me, I brought the camera out to snap some photos of some breathtaking views.
It was really hot but the beautiful views are worth it!
Beautiful, right?
So many shades of blue, turquoise and green!
People enjoying the calm of the seaside~
Ahhh.... great life~
A toddler that was about to chase the seagull.
Decided to change his mind and retreated back to his/her parents.
^^
My most favourite photo taken from that waterfront.
After some time, we continued our journey to the next destination.
Couldn't concentrate on the phone or gps cos the view outside's just too beautiful! Look at the turquoise of the sea! The blue sky and white clouds! And, look at how CLEAN the roadside is!!
*ahem*
The view in front's not bad too.
I'd like to stay in one of those houses one day. Or maybe just one of the hotels or guesthouses there~
We finally arrived here(last destination on our itinerary before dinner) at about 4.30pm!
That's a little sneak peek of next post! :P
I know teasing is not a good thing but I need to reorganise the photos for the next post cause there's too many! Trust me!
'Trust me' reminds me 'Not me' by Beast. Haha here you go with the dance practice video~
Random much!

My third favourite track off their latest mini album, Midnigh Sun! Love the choreo by Prepix Haw! Especially the spinning parts!
Hey guys! How's everyone doing? How's your Sungkai Buffet so far?
:)
I am taking a hiatus from travelling to BSB for them at the moment cause I need to catch up with work. It's always extra busy before the holidays! But it's ok, whatever that is at the end of it ALWAYS pay off~
While I compose the next blog post, here are 2 photos of Food Guide that I picked up last week. Hope the Sungkai Specials from page 18 is useful for y'all~
Food Guide, July 2012.

PS: Swensen's Cafe & Restaurant is so appealing!! :P

To Muslim readers, Selamat Berbuka Puasa~

To Sungkai Buffet lovers, here is another post on Sungkai Buffet 2012! Second stop for this year, Kimchi Restaurant it is!
I went for the Eat All You Can Ramadhan Buffet with my sister, niece and a friend last night after making a call for reservation a day before. Upon arrival, we were ushered to our table by their friendly and polite staffs.
The way they handle their buffet is slightly different from other restaurants cause you get to choose what you want to eat from the buffet menu instead of getting your food from buffet tables. If it's cooked food, just eat right away when served. If the meat or vegetables that you're ordering is raw, grill to your heart's content! Oh yeah~
Here's the menu.
The banchan (반찬), Korean Side Dishes.
Salted eggs, kimchi, potatoes and bean sprouts.
Cucumbers, white radish, anchovies (ikan bilis) and spinach (not quite sure about this).
Lettuce, gochujang (고추장, Korean hot bean paste) freshly cut onions and garlic to go with your BBQ meat.
We had beef bulgogi, lamb bulgogi, chicken teriyaki and beef teriyaki.
Prawns, scallops, mussels and squids.
And it's grilling time!
We also had enoki mushrooms. YUMS!
Tip: dip the mushrooms in the squids' sauce before grilling ;)
Seafood pancake.
Personal verdict: It's crispy and warm but I still prefer the one from Koryo.
Kimchi stew (Kimchi Chigae, 김치찌개) with beef.
Personal verdict: Not bad but a tad too sweet for my liking.
We enjoyed ourselves over so much yummy meat and jokes. It was fun taking turns to grill the food and ordering our favourites (beef bulgogi, lamb bulgogi & chicken teriyaki) over and over again until none of us could eat anymore.
An hour passed without us realising and we finally stopped ordering and grilling the meat. We then ordered the desserts from the menu.
Nothing beats a serving of Pat-bing-su (팥빙수), Korean shaved ice dessert after a hearty bbq meal.
Having that just made me miss Korea even more! :(
Other desserts provided: Vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream and fresh fruits.
Tip: Add the vanilla ice cream to the patbingsu! Trust me, it's even nicer. Eating a Korean dessert the Korean way is always the best!
Soybean puddings.
Mmmm... smooth, soft and cold. Nice~
So, if you love Korean food, don't want to spend too much but want to eat a lot, this is the place for you.
Contact number is 222 2233. Their Ramadhan Buffet is Bnd 23.90 per adult and Bnd 13.90 for children under 12 years old. They open from 11.00 am ~ 2.30pm for the lunch session and 6.00 pm ~ 10.30 pm for the dinner session.
Yay! I've visited 2 out of 3 of my most favourite Sungkai Buffets. Scroll down to the previous post for Cheezbox's post! Next destination, I-Lotus! I hope!! :D
