Walking from Napier-MRT-sta–DempseyRd, might have strained some ankle muscle up the slight incline on Minden&HardingRd where JimThompson is no longer but OpenFarmComm is still there with a new TB-Bakery.

Appreciations for dinner@TheRedSparrow – forgot to take pix with May and her godfather KK+food this round, was here nearly 2yrs ago for lunch then.

Apr2023: tkx to Carmel for lunch – 1st visit to RedSparrow/DempseyRd

BánhKhọt, a mini savory pancake with a piece of shrimp on top; BánhXèo a crispy stuffed rice pancake, both dishes were yummy and new to me.

This round for dinner&eating something quite different, again all new to me – do like their JasmineLeaf despite it being heavy on the seasoning – food pix downloaded.

Sat: lovely Spring pix tkx to PaulK who lives in the part of the world where Spring has Sprung. No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow – English Proverb

MarineParadeCAREfridge OpenFridgeDay today – downstairs on my way across the road to pick up fresh milk and looking at the lines, seems like they will have no problems distributing the foods and not desperate enough to be in that crowd – hahaha.

Sun: what a wonderful creative way to recycle NespressoCapsules@Nespresso/ION by MRT-OrchardSta-Exit9.

Tkx to Theres&CJ for another scrumptious dinner@ImperialTreasureTeochew/Ion and this time round for some dishes not even on the menu!

One of the best SucklingPiglets乳豬tasted, SeaCucumber 海参, Abalone&FishMaw with cabbage 鮑魚魚肚/花膠++other dishes all done to perfection.

Mon: a good week ahead to all to start the RamadanMonth+Lent/5Mar – perhaps fasting will be a good idea after all these yummy&rich foods over Feb and the last weekend. Running errands@ArabSt&Spotlight/PlazaSIN, hoping to make 2table-placemats+T-Cosy. Drama on Bus16 on the way back, a woman fell upon embarking@RafflesHotelStop/15.30hrs and was bleeding from her head, driver got all the other passengers off and called the ambulance. Hope that she will be OK – a reminder again to watch every step and to not rush for any bus as will always be in time for the next bus…

Happy MarBdays to family/at least 14 who I know of!
