The thunderous raging water in a cave.
The wonders of nature, so wonderful if only I can just sit down in one corner listening to the water and hide from the heat outside for an hour.
* just realised I haven't posted much of our recent trip and...算了吧 😄.I've already transferred most pics into the hard disk. Need to clear phone pics asap 😂 , always grouching abt my tons of holidays
iMovies.
Muahaha! I would have done this to Thistle if we had this game.
Finally tried Luke's Lobster after they arrived on our shore 4 years ago.
I wasn't willing to try then coz felt it's too expensive for something which will not make me full.
Decided to try it today and won't eat it anymore.
My personal review.
** pls note that prices in US are without tips unless otherwise indicated
...
And for those who wonder why I am allergic to certain prawns but not to lobster, I really have no idea why. Maybe my body is meant to ingest expensive foods. 😂 haha!
And now after typing this, I want to say I miss Boston!
In Boston che-che ordered lobster with truffle butter (US$24 + US$1 for truffle butter) while I ordered crab (US$17). Lobster is from Canada as what they claimed not that I can tell any difference 😜
Singapore's lobster roll is (S$25.50) claimed is from Maine but eh you give me one from M'sia I also dunno.
[Truffle butter lobster roll costs S$30.50].
A fair comparison would be US$24 vs S$25.50. But it makes me wonder how is it that it'll be so expensive after the conversion to eat in Boston when the lobster is swimming somewhere near there (fly from Cape Hood to Boston, both on east side of the continent) vs we need to fly the lobster over many miles across the land masses and ocean?
Bread roll is longer and skinnier here. I assumed the roll is supplied locally as it doesn't make sense to fly them over. Taste wise coz I did try che-che's lobster roll (but hate truffle), I would say it's not bad here. How many chunks of lobster meat in the roll I believe should be the same. Tho she dropped one huge piece on the floor in Boston and my heart was screaming 💸 heartpain.
In Quincy Market, we tried this one a day before, lobster salad roll for USD29 (I think it should be slightly cheaper coz I threw receipt away and only checked back my card, must have added the tips in it)
Oh..... the lobster bisque. I love bisque.
Well...when you're in Boston you gotta eat their seafood.
I have one girl who don't eat many seafood, I don't eat clam, oysters anything except scallops in the mollusk family myself. So really can't eat the freshest bestest seafood, which turns out well coz when you start calculating the cost of food, it's so expensive!

Lil' one Aricia Ting likes clam chowder, eats oyster but too bad she's not here.
Since I hate clams, I should try lobster bisque. Top left pic of lobster bisque -1 had it in a restaurant which I told girl the total cost of our meal came up to few dollars short of $100, by the time I add tips in. Sigh..... told girl it's the most expensive meal so after that we should eat cheaply. I only tried 2 lobster bisque in Boston, so I must admit that's the better one. (USD10.50 vs USD6.30.
Maybe not a fair comparison coz the quantity is different + one in better setting.
I didn't like the one from Quincy Market (had this a day before the restaurant meal) and was so thankful I ordered a small cup to try. But there were huge chunks of meat in both soup.
Singapore's S$12.50. Taste just like the one in Quincy Market but only 2 small bits of meat.
Will | eat at LL again? Most likely no. I've tasted better lobster bisque in restaurants here.
Dropped by Kimchoo to get my dumpling (the bestest nonya chang after my mom's). Saw that ondeh and kueh kosui selling at total price of $4.40, a fraction of what one will pay at ahem.. ahem.., so why not pick them up as well? Kimchoo's kuehs are equally nice + I'm adding more weight to myself and adding more pennies in my pocket. No reason for me to not buy them. Anyway, this could be the only time I'll indulge in these.

@ "my favourite uncle wanton place" - direct quote from lil' one. I realised it's the same row we sat. She didn't want to move in to the next table to replicate this photo.
Used to be wanton noodle now it's shredded chicken noodle.
Big bowl of soup which now comes to her automatically 😂. Last time she used to do the Oliver scene by going up to uncle and asking for another bowl of soup 😂a few times.
Now that I've stopped keto temp, it's one of my must indulge. And had it like 4x already 😂 in a short span of 2mths? The last time was only last wk? 🤭

Spending some quality time with 貴重な赤ちゃん before uni term commences.
We bond over food. Haha!
She saw something which I can eat, came to me and tell me while I was packing lunch. I must admit that got me really excited as I was deprived of ice-cream for quite some time 🤣
My heart went awwww the moment NaEun said "it's my job".
Her parents raised her up so well. She always puts her siblings first.
In one episode, JooHo asked her how she felt being the eldest, and she spoke out her thoughts.
She truly deserves a day out every week or fortnight with just her parents, so she can be a child. Forget abt the troublemaker Jinwoo and cute Gunhoo for that day. 슈퍼맨이
One happy smiley child
And one grouchy, naggy mother (later)
Balloons that kids can't reach. Oh oh! Like it but can't seem to get a nice shot.
Waiting for her rabbit

Asked Athena if she knew abt broken magnets, she told me a few pointers. Took out her magnet which I've broke in the day. "There you go, we can experiment it." She was enthusiastic and recalled alot- iron, cobalt, steel and nickel.?? Can't rmbr myself.
Mummy's nose almost touching the sky. Asked her “Athena, what happens when you put 2 similar poles together?" "It... er....(trying to recall)." "It re ..." Eyes opened big big shouted so loud "REWIND!!!" Immediately can cover my mouth. LOL!

Pooh pasta with Pooh ham. Eggs didn't turn out well, suppose to be one with flower and the other is heart-shape. No time to fry fish fingers - rushing for time
