FULLON WEDDING

This was really one unforgettable wedding. We have never seen any xiong di-s as bold as these.... salute! We edited it for screening at St Regis to raving reviews.... well watch and you know what I mean.

Recommending JP

As a wedding photographer. Lot's of couples ask for my recommendations and opinions pertaining to their wedding planning. One of the FAQ is finding a good Justice of Peace to marry them.

My recommendation is Mrs Chia Swee TIn without a doubt. I use to cross path with a certain David L person who never fails to put a smile on my face for his "sing song" over-articulation as well as miss pronunciations.

Mrs Chia, on the other hand, is well articulated and full of charisma. Her delivery is clear, defined, and yet manages to inject a personal touch with some words of wisdom. I have met her well over 5 times and still she was able to make it a unique experience for each couple. Do let me know if anyone would like to see some JP in action samples clips, I am toying with the idea of putting them side by side. But in the meantime, if any couples need her contact, do drop me a line. (no commission ;p)

Pine Gardens Cake.

Ok ok don't judge me just yet. It's food again, but this is wedding related. ;p
Pine Gardens is a heartland confectionery, that made a mark in the wedding industry. Their Lychee Martini cake is legendary and I have had that in quite a few weddings.

Their cake designs are as good the taste, thankfully. They also have "xi bing" and traditional wedding baskets for rent. You can check them out at http://www.pgcake.com


On a side note, I also tried the famed ondeh ondeh, which is rated as top 8 in Singapore. I felt that it is commendable but not to die for. That unnamed bread roll on the right that looked like a giant sushi on the other hand, was a new found gem. It's soft, propotionately layered with pork floss, slice of ham, tuna, and seaweed. I don't even know what it's called, I should just name it HEAVENLY.

BCMs & TCMs

BCM is one of Singapore's favorite hawker food. BCM is of course non other than Bak Chor Mee, any guesses for TCM?

Ok, I was at ABC market where there are 2 BCM stalls side by side. Being a typical Singaporean, I followed the queue. But my friends bought from the stall beside it, which has no queue.

The one with the purple bowl was mine and the yellow bowl was from the less famous stall. And I tasted the yellow bowl first and then mine... I felt a deep deep sense of regret with a slight tinge of frustration and a whole lot of disappointment. The winner was clear... YELLOW!...

Yellow:
First bite: Flavorful, zesty chili
After taste: herbal tasting mushrooms with great taste

Purple:
First bite: Huh...? did they forget to put sauce?
Second bite: Still no taste maybe because never mix properly. mix mix.
After thoughts: k*n, waste my money.... just noodles and chili

Conclusion:
Don't follow the crowd blindly, my friends who lives in the area told me that the other stall has been around much longer actually.

Well lesson learnt. Do let me know if you have any BCM recommendations around Singapore, I shall take it upon myself to go try all of them!

At Godpa's desk

My darling little girl Kate (aka porky) was in my office before heading out to dinner. She was all at ease at my desk with one hand on the keyboard and playing with the mouse. I am going to train her to edit my tons of photos soon. So any clients out there reading this, your photos might just be edited by her. :)
