dim sum night

still posting from last december. major backlog :)

during mike's december visit, i did not file for leaves because i just joined a new job, and i believe that newbies don't just go on holidays during the first few weeks of employment. :p  to compensate for that, we just continued with our date-night-after-work thing. i'll go to work as usual, and after work, we'll try to go out on a date. we only get to do this when we are together like this. it's a shame that he had to stay at home during the day, but maybe it's better that way. super rest... if you could call it that.

inspired by our swee choon find, we thought of searching for places that are not highly commercialized. maybe there's life beyond din tai fung :) i left the searching part to mike.

that led us to this.  the keywords say it all: dim + sum + good. that's all we need. mike said it's walking distance from my office in tanjong pagar. so we walked. a lot. but that's no problem at all because we enjoyed seeing good sites like this:

these little spaces are actually offices. i like.

i'm not sure what this is, but i was just attracted to the lights :p

and more shops like this. so beautiful at night!

we walked and walked and walked and walked. sometimes forward, sometimes in circles. the address said 80 neil road. and this is 80 neil road, which isn't dim joy. it's some other restaurant that definitely doesn't offer dim sum. i searched again for dim joy (these are the moments you become thankful for 3G or LTE or whatever). we found out that dim joy is already closed. nice. hehehe.

80 neil road isn't dim joy. how dim. at least the moon was looking good that night.

in the end, we decided out of hunger and exhaustion, and got inside this small tim sum restaurant. only 1 table is occupied. looks promising. hehe. but we were so hungry we could eat anything, really.

that small dim sum restaurant

we ordered fried rice, siomai, adidas, and siopao. it's either we were so hungry or the food was really good. may pagsusungit pa si ateng serbidora dahil sa chili sauce. ok fine. nagtampo na kami. ayaw na namin ng chili sauce.

the good stuff

mike refusing to look like a fool

fine. smile properly raw. :)
