Sometimes, I think I am getting old. I used to think abt going to the best resturants but now I try to find places that give value for money. And for that, Teahouse at China Square is a good place for Tim Sum. I used to go there quite often until my office moved to the new premises at ORQ. Anyway, woke up late in the morning and felt like having tim sum. Bought a set of newspaper and read it while having my favourites siew mai and char siew pao. Felt totally ah chek but hey, its always so nice to do that on a weekend morning.
This month was another crazy one. I went to Manila for a week for work and found out that there are so many biz opportunities (project for 2007). Appraisal time was a bit stressful for me and hey, I asked for a 20-30% increment which my boss said reasonable since I have done very well and above my budget. :-) Went house hunting and decided tat I really need a price to hedge myself against asset prices inflation. Decided to get one at River Valley which is near the work place and in the centre of the city. At S$1150 psf, felt that it was a ok price to pay. Mebbe I will just stay there. The prev owner renovated the place so well that it looks like a designer showflat. Went up to Macau/Zhuhai to play golf and gamble. The 2 places are bustling with activity and all the good restuarants are fully booked. Went for 2 weddings, cousin and a gd friend. At grace's wedding, alot of catching up with the rest of the family and all the younger cousins look so unfamiliar. They just grew so fast. Or mebbe I am ageing. And of course, I need to go for army reservist at the end of the month. I can't seemed to catch my breath. Think I shd take it easy in December.

Wagyu Burger 31 Oct 2006
Haven't been writing my tots for quite a while. But as usual, it was just so busy with work and trying to get a bit of exercise either through gym, short runs and the driving range.
Went with Ed (who disappeared after the wife gave birth to a baby boy) and RG to Uberburger for lunch. We decided to try out the prime wagyu beef burger @ S$101. The sauce is a bit too thick and rich for me to taste the foie gras and the truffles. So so meal. Nice ambience but the cushion chairs are so soft that we moved to the metal table and plastic chairs.
Thk the choice is still at Pierside Kitchen for wagyu beef burger. It was so much better value for money@ S$45. I normally order the lamb shank when I go to Pierside. And i always find it amazing that a restuarant can survive for so long. F&B biz in singapore are always so tough and competitive.
