Mid-week// Fear factor of Turtle soup & Crocodile meat
Time for some quick update. On the 20th August (Wednesday), I had a good dinner with Joel and Boyfriend. Was glad that Bf gets to book out on Wednesday night and 2 days off from work was permitted from his superior. Maybe that's something good to be in Tekong. Lots of welfare benefits for them!
Initially, we wanted to hunt for cafe at Bedok area but it was pretty late when we met up so we had a quick decision to have dinner at Sembawang instead as I was craving for my white vermicelli ( the famous stall at Sembawang). Unfortunately, it was closed on Wednesday ( bad luck joey) so we went in to this chinese restaurant which was right beside the coffee shop.
"Wild Turtle House" located at Jalan Tampang, just opposite Sembawang shopping Center. Due to the recent rainy weather, we hope to grab something comfort that might warm-up our body.
To what the menu show, its more on the Zi char style. With alot of varieties to choose from. As usual, I left the guys to order their food.
Although the famous stall was closed, I still get to satisfy my white vermicelli! But of course, the standard wasn't that good compared to my favourite stall.
The ingredients that they gave was small in portion. I managed to count the number of prawns that they gave. 1..2..3? Total of 3 prawns ):
Joel was so daring enough to try out new food. He encouraged us to try on the turtle soup and crocodile meat. I hesitated but in the end gave in and give it a try. The turtle soup was not that bad! Tasted exactly like the herbal chicken soup that Mum always brew for me. So tonic and refreshing. It works like wonder, I feel more energetic.
Crocodile meat make me think twice before consuming because I am afraid of any raw tasting taste but this dish proved me wrong. It feels like im eating chicken meat. Or rather im eating frog leg meat. The fear lasted for a while and you will see me scooping one and after on the bowl. It was said that turtle meat replenished/ added collagen into your body.
Total pocket burnt: $65 for all the 5 dishes. The crocodile meat and turtle soup cost $25/ $18 respectively. Expensive but healthy dishes, especially for girls (:

Im so happy to see "The daily scoop" ice-cream parlour at Yishun area. It was newly opened around Yishun neighbourhood. Another reason to barge BF to bring me over for dessert as and when I want! HAHAHA
The boss Joel ordered 2 scoops of ice cream! Coconut and Lychee Martini.
Both bf and I ordered their waffles with hazelnut and strawberry cheesecake ice cream (:
Till then.
