28 Jun 2025 – To Wooloomooloo Steak Tartare
Wed: Happy Bdays to nephews John&Clement+friend Huang in HI/USA who I am proud to be addressed as auntie by them. Some of my nieces&nephews(OrangeGen) are into their 50s&60s, GrandNephews(PurpleGen) in their 30s and now with 3GreatGrandNieces(BrownGen) blessing me to be considered Ancient – hahaha. After the browser issues, lost most data for the family tree Bdays. Thank goodness for LAMs&TSENGs FB-HeritageLinks, managed to re-enter the data and so far with 66names, just half way, ie up to Jun! Also updating hardcopy with these 3new names for the latest generation.

Nice Kopitiam@T3 and decent Beef+TendonSoup but prefer the taste of that @FoodRepublic/Jewel. Euphemia arr on time and also managed to sort her issues with DigitalGadgets@Jewel before getting a Grab. An accident on ECP got us stuck there for ~45mins and took ~over an hour to get lyfFunan/HillSt. No problems for us as we had lots to chat but felt sorry for the driver for his loss of income during that kind of traffic-jam.
Edited Mon30Jun: and by the time we pass this scene, the car we saw covered in white foams was a Porsche – thank goodness no injuries.

A walk from Funan–TiongShianPorridge長城粥品Chinatown for ChickenFeet&FrogLegs hit the spot for Euphemia who is unable to get these kind of foods in NZ, glad that she too likes durians. This also is my favourite location for raw fish but unfortunately raw fish is no longer permitted. Hopefully she will have a good night rest and a good stay here the next few days until we meet again.
Why did the durian stop playing chess? Because it was tired of being the king of fruits! – hahaha
After our farewells, walked further down VictoriaSt passing CHIJMES/my old school bringing back memories of those masses attended in this church. Bus16 by RafflesHotel@BrasBasahRd directly back to my 4walls before 23.00hrs making my 14,000steps today.
Fri: amazing impressive selections at the reduced price section after 1800hrs@CS/RafflesCity.
Appreciations for Clement’s belated Bday dinner@WooloomoolooSteakhouse – its been a long long long time ago since a SteakTartare has been into the stomach, this time round without the egg-york,capers,onions,capers but still yummy.
Oh please. I’m sure I don’t have to explain the difference between steak tartare and a carnival hamburger… – Angela Marsons
WooloomoolooSalad for a starter+LobsterBisque&JumboPrawnCocktail for the others with steaks for their mains while SteakTartare was mine!
Sooo thoroughly stuffed with absolutely no room for dessert – had to walk around inside RafflesCity and outside by StAndrew’sCathredal allowing some of the food to digest before bedtime.
Sat: Bfast wirh Helen meeting new ppl Yoko with LegoShoes outside MT-GoodLife – inspired by Theresa who is 83 and volunteers here. Fun afternoon@Campers catching up with Calvin&Sam, watching Chris testing&trying on Yukie this extremely heavy outfit for the PoliceK9Trainers, probably feeling&ooking like the Stay-PuftMarshmallowMan and needs help to get up if she falls! So tempting to push her knowing that she will not be hurt – hahaha…
Thank you Helen for these delicious tarts and a new shirt for myself.
