Fish's Underwater World

Xing wang hongkong tea cafe 8 aug

Forgot to introduce a new food outlet i tried. Sotong, great recommendation. Cheap and yummy. Like its name suggests, this place serves hongkong dishes and dim sum. The kiddies shared the dishes among them. They tried black pepper chicken spaghetti (the chicken chop is huge and juicy), fried rice (the minced pork sauce is tasty and makes the rice more fragrant), baked rice with cheese and pork (not as fantastic as the previous two dishes) and sesame balls (cripsy on the outside. hmmm) I tried the yuan yang as well. Tea with coffee (u can taste the tea and coffee and it's a nice blend). Potent diuretic (jam n menu din wanna order that for fear of visitin the toilet later)? I din really rush for the toilet after that though.
Business was very good that day as everyone was in marina for the fireworks. Thankfully we had made reservations and did not have to join the snaking queue. The food is not bad but the service could be improved further. Two of our orders took a long time to arrive. One order was overlooked and came twice later. We cancelled the second order after waiting for some time as we wanted to watch the fireworks.
Once the fireworks started, everyone immediately rushed towards the esplanade area. We just hung around marina steps. Quite a good view of the fireworks as well. I was not that excited anymore since I had already watched them live many times. Plus the display looked the same to me. After the fireworks, we stood around and chatted. Everyone was now headed back to the mrt station.
The night was still young and the next day being a public hol, we wanted to chill out. Alas, it was not meant to be. Everywhere was packed. Pacific coffee at marina, gelare at citylink etc. Couldnt find a place at all. In the end, we walked back to the mrt station and tried our luck at raffles city market place. The place had a major revamp and looked much better. However, the restaurants all closed or were closing. So we all headed back home.
