Duck feast at Mouth Restaurant

Today happened to be Ada's 3rd month and we had a random weekend lunch that was superb at Mouth Restaurant located at Plaza Singapura, level 2.

Happy 3 months old darling! 

   

Colorful food always looks so happy and tasty.

 

Banana prawn fried roll was delicious and it doesn't break nor have oil lingering on your lips upon biting. 

I'll definitely return for this!

Next item on this list that will encourage me to return again was the snowy liu sa bao! 

The filling was generous and the salted egg taste wasn't too overwhelming. I really liked bolo bun and hence, with such a combination, how can I not give a thumb's up for this. Swee Choon's liu sa bao wasn't as nice since the skin wasn't as crispy as Mouth's.

Pan-fried carrot cake was quite good too, not oily!

Dim Sum was not the main focus of our lunch as I ordered just to keep me full while waiting for Brother, Sis-in-law and Jonas to reach. The real limelight of the day was DUCK! We ordered the duck feast where most of the food items were cooked using duck with it's different parts and cooking method. 

Peking duck, yummy!

Cod fish was really nice! We changed one of the fish item to this. 

We had other dishes such as soup, noodles and dessert but I gave those a missed as Ada woke up half way through our lunch! Just by looking at these photos makes me wanna go back again, drool~

Self reflection

It has been a while since I've spent time thinking about myself. Here's some time for self reflection while Ada is asleep. 

Too many events have been taking place for the past few years since teenage days (18 & above). Adapting to changes and making decision have suddenly became very important. No more 'mummy says, you follow' and have everything 'planned' for you via the usual route of our educational system. 

I guess the 1st important decision that I have made for myself was to major in HR during polytechnic, get a full time job upon graduation and study part-time for a degree while working. 

I have no idea what life will be, if I took on a full time degree on Facilities Management at NUS back then... everyone was fighting to enter but I gave up my chance. I have no idea why, but I chose polytechnic over Junior College and a private part time degree over a full time placement in a prestige university. 

Perhaps, if I ever did that: 

- our paths might not cross each other's (whoever is reading it) and I won't even know you
- I might make more friends and lose some or lose more friends and made some?

- I wouldn't be moulded into the society that fast to become who and what I am today.

- I would definitely be doing something different and the list could just go on and on. 

Too much possibilities but I'm grateful for what I have today. I count my blessing for knowing awesome people and gaining invaluable experience which I might miss out if I've chosen a different route. No one knows what will happen with each decision made and will things be better if I've chosen the other option? Some people walked in, while some walked out but well, one just can't have the better of both worlds. It's like that, isn't it? 

Adapting to changes and getting used to people walking in and out is part of one's journey. Thus, in order to be unaffected, it's best to be unattached as much as possible. Things are a lot easier to manage this way, at least for me la! *you don't have to agree with me*

A desire to achieve somehow enhances the desire to change. I am seldom aimless in life, but when I do, I get myself out of the situation. Seems like it's the start of an aimless journey as moments like this will cause me to rethink and get uneasy over it. 

In case you're wondering... I am contented with what I have right now although some emptiness still creeps into me at times. The thing is, can I be just contented and stay with the current status. Argh~
