Le Le Pot
I love my niece very very much.
Ate at Le Le pot at Tiong Bahru some two weeks ago. Simply made for my niece who we lovingly call Le Le too!
Le Le pot is opened by a Chinese celebrity. The eatery is decorated with walls of pictures of celebrities, framed in colourful Ikea frames. The air-conditioned place is also really clean and not smokey at all. I didn’t feel the urgent need to rush home to bath, unlike most other steamboat experience.
Dining in this steamboat place feels like you are eating at home. The service staff are friendly and smiley. A definite plus.
The steamboat buffet is really awesome. You can choose between the ala-carte version or buffet. I would recommend the buffet if you are dining for 5 or 6 (which is approx $25 per pax), and the ala-carte version if you are only eating for 2.
The buffet spread include prawns, chicken wings, mushrooms and poultry meat. Crab, sea cucumber, and cray fish are available at additional cost. All of which are presented in nice clean plates. Drinks are sold separately. Oh, and I love their desert! It is homemade ice jelly, or ice topped with durian, mango.
Evidently, I enjoyed stuffing myself to the brim at this cosy homely eatery.
Visit the Le Le Pot at Blk 58 Seng Poh Road #01-23 (opposite Tiong Bahru Market). Call to make reservations at 6222 9442. They can be rather crowded during weekends.
Verner Panton
On one of my girlies-date with my high-school friends, we visited the Verner Panton collection at the National Museum of Singapore.
It was an eye-opener.
Initially I thought, “Hey what a normal collection this is. They look like things we have seen before in artsy-fartsy deco stores.” That is till I read on the labels that these cool furniture were created in 1950s. What a dumb-ass I am.
Check out these retro-yet-futuristic-furniture that Panton created. (Click to enlarge).
Verner Panton is truly a visionary.
There after, my friends and I did some jumping outside the Big Cherry. Okay, I admit I instigated the crazy jumping act.
After a couple of shots, we decided we weren’t in sync, and decided to let the pro-in-jumping-shots take the photo.
We finally succeeded. =)
The Verner Panton gallery will be held till 12th July at the National Museum. I got in for free! Yay. Do check with the counter if you are eligible for their concessionary rates.
