Yellow Crane Tower, Wuhan 武汉黄鹤楼


故人西辞黄鹤楼,  烟花三月下扬州.
孤帆远影碧空尽,  唯见长江天际流.
                                                 - 李白

                    This is the Yellow Crane Tower 黄鹤楼.   And the photo was taken when the tower with its plaque "楚天极目",  instead of the "黄鹤楼" nowadays.

Daguan Park ( Grand View Park) ,Kun Ming 昆明大观园






Korean Melon


                    Another fruit which is seldom found here.  But I found them in the Wholesale Centre at Pasir Panjang.   The stall lady boss told me that they were juicy and crispy.   Then I bought 2 and wanna to try something new.   However, the taste is very disappointing. They taste nothing but a raw cucumber.

Korean BBQ Buffet @ Blue Garden Restaurant, Link Hotel


                    $19.90 for lunch and $26.90 for dinner, no GST but 10% Service Charge.   Be prepared for the poor ventilation and the slow re-fill of cooked food during the weekend dinner.  However, the service is good and the staff are friendly.   The following photos were a mix of my weekday lunch and weekend dinner buffet there :)

A lot of beef & pork, both marinated and non-marinated










                    Other than the BBQ raw meat section, there are cooked food, like abalone porridge, fried chicken wing, seaweed soup, pancake, fried rice and fried noodle etc etc...

DH purposely put a spoon there, so we know the portion of the dish.

********************

                    Almost half of the main fare & sidedish menu have been crossed out, we don't really have many choices!

                    This is actually a  'fast- food- style' restaurant.  After ordering the food, the waiter came and asked us to bill. We were so surprised and thought he had made a mistake. Then we were told we had to bill first before serving the food.  *haha*  Why don't we just go to the counter and buy the food ourselves?
