meh.

dead tired.

been working too hard lately, and my colleague says that things will be even worse after March. it so happens that i’m involved in 4 different regions, so the propensity for work is quite high, especially since this particular area has a recurring event that we will have to prepare and plan for.

interestingly, crystal jade’s La Mian Xiao Long Bao doesn’t serve porridge; their xiao long baos are as good as ever although i think their spicy beef noodle doesn’t seem as nice as it used to be. i’ve also discovered that i don’t fancy the 刀削拉面 – which my friend said should be nice as it’s a test of the chef’s skill – as much as the thinner, rounder noodles. mainly because the latter has a greater surface area to volume ratio, hence you get more soup together with the noodle for maximum taste.

coffee club served me a frozen cake. it spoiled the experience as i had to finish my ice cream way before i could even touch my cake; even then i still had to chip at the cake with my fork as it was rock solid – it was even served with the ice frosted on its surface! i must have been too tired yesterday as i didn’t bother to take it up with them on it.
