Little Lamb Steamboat and the Loof

Wanted to get out of the house and not be sucked towards the black hole, again. I'm emotionally drained!

Song Hooi recommended this steamboat place at Bugis. According to him, this is one of the BEST that he'd tried so far. So in this warm Saturday evening, we went to the 'Little Lamb' steamboat restaurant at Bugis (Not too good an idea, steamboat and warm day, but what the heck). Btw, it's buffet style, with 20 bucks per person, you can order as many dishes as you like. We decided on the mixed soup based, herbal and the spicy hot soup. And then it's show time! 4 of us, and we ended up with more than 30 plates of meat, seafood, veges, mushrooms, balls, internal organs. It's really amazing that we managed to finish all of them, and poor Song Hooi needed to unbuckle his pants, well I mean the button on his pants, to feel better. =p Overall, the dinner was good, the meat and seafood were fresh, and I guess that's the key to having steamboat, and the pumpkin cake, Oh so yummy! Love it and thanks to Charis for donating hers to me. Then there's this dessert from Sze Chuan called 'jiu niang'. It's made from fermented rice, something different to try, one seep of it is OK, but I think I still perfer the western yogurt. Another thing that's pretty interesting was their 'fried milk'. So we decided to order one just to try. And guess what, it looks excatly like the spring role, the only difference is that instead of the spring role ingredients, it's MILK POWDER!

We're all so bloated, but at least satisfied, and since the night's still young, we decided to check out this bar called the LOOF, which is only 2 streets down the road. Al fresco concept, and it's on the rooftop of a building. Looks pretty cosy, and if you're lucky enough, you'll be able to get a seat with city view, or should I say, half of the city view. The couch, it could have been better if we're able to lean on it, or perhaps the concept is to have us sitting on a correct posture? The music, well, it really depends on individual. I personally still prefer what IndoChine at Boat Quay is offering. The drinks, within standard, at least my standard. =p Overall, it's a place that still is worth checking out, if you're looking for sth at the roof top and cool chicks. (To be honest, I felt a lil embaressed for dressing down, but well, we're having steamboat!)
