Spice Into the New Year: A Start-Work Lunch at Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine

Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine at 8-10 Mosque Street Happy Lunar New Year to all my readers, wherever you may be. I started work today (19.02.2026). Although not many colleagues were around, I still managed to gather a few close ones for a “start-work lunch” at a fancy restaurant that serves Chinese cuisine. After some discussion, we decided on Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine in Chinatown. Even better, it was my first time trying their food. I’ve always known it to be a popular spot with notoriously long queues. Thankfully, we arrived early because right after we were seated, a steady stream of patrons began pouring in. Snacks & Ice Cream Corner for patrons once you enter As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the Snacks & Ice Cream Corner located opposite the waiting area. I didn’t even realize it was there until we were about to leave! My colleagues especially loved the Golden Horn Snack, but I thought both options, including the Crispy Crust, were equally good. And yes, that...

Travelogue | Graduation Trip - Melbourne, Australia

Oh hi! I'm back after a long hiatus. Well... anyway nobody cares to read my blog but then I just drop some photos taken during my recent trip to Melbourne with my friend and her son. Meant to be a graduation trip cos our uni, RMIT is in Melbourne. So let me take you through with a photo story of my favourite. It seems more like a photography trip to me. 90% of the photos are not relating to food. OMG! How well did I fare for my skills now? Any improvement? For me to find out.

We signed up this tour package with Nam Ho Travel and okay, is good. Probably need a change of some places of interest in the itinerary, like opt out the Pannys Amazing, World of Chocolate and Amaze n Things and change to Sea Aquarium (Sealife) probably. A 6D4N is just right for exploring the city.

End of the day, I feel that to make all these shots even better, should get a wide angle lens. But too ex. Anyway, I love this trip cos of the blue sky, green grass patches and most importantly, the brightness of the sunshine. But not too much though as it makes my photos over-exposed. I never did much editing except auto-correct the exposure with Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

Okay. Enjoy!
