Met up with Jimmy & Noreen for an early dinner today. Came across this place called ‘Stacked’ at Robertson Quay in some online article and thought it will be cool to munch some dim-sum and wash them down with some icy cold beer on a (very depressing since Monday is coming) Sunday.<\/p>\n

The place is pretty simple and neat but unfortunately the tables inside were occupied and we had to make do with one outside … and there wasn’t any fan there. Hot!!!! Warm!!! It got better later when it was windy though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A concept a little different from the usual Chinese restaurant serving dim-sum, Stacked looks more like an outlet serving burgers and nachos but one look at the menu … you will be surprised.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Food is overall pretty good there but each serving is pretty small. Thing’s ain’t cheap either. We ended up paying S$230 for the dinner … I swear we didn’t spend that too much on the beer!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love the fried stuffs most … especially the beef filled dumplings. They go darn well with drinks! \ud83d\ude00<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We started with a variety of dim sum but soon we realised it was just too little to feed ourselves. Within minutes … new orders were placed. Unfortunately the waiter made a mistake and served us more chilli crab buns (‘pows’) instead of BBQ pork (‘char siew’) pow. I was hungry and munched half of it before one of them (Jim or Noreen?) told me that it is a crab one! Damn! I’m allergic to seafood!!! I am still okay now (else who do you think is typing this?) … but perhaps I could go on medical leave tomorrow? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The fried chicken was yummy!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soy sauce and vinegar etc were served using eye droppers. Cool!!! But ….<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jimmy got a bit suicidal and decided to drink neat vinegar.<\/em><\/p>\n

Next came the decision to order the right drink to go with the ‘dim sum’ …
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chinese tea? No @*!(&*!(&@! way!!! Hahahaha! The reason why we were there was for the beer! Ooops! Beer and dim sum? Don’t sound good together eh? \ud83d\ude00 Who cares?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being curious beer drinkers … we decided to try the Taiwanese fruity beers. We ordered 2 bottles of honey dew beer and a bottle of lychee one. The labels on the bottles sure look cute and retro eh? They look a little scary too. Hahahaha! The ‘artwork’ on them looks like some weird Chinese booze or stuff that we sometimes use for prayers. Ermmmm … or do they not? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Anyway … the first big gulp (it was darn warm today) … and we almost fainted. The honey dew beer tasted weird! Ermm … they taste like honey dew … but it was just so wrong to have beer tasting like that. Argh!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lychee beer was way better than the melon one. Perhaps we are used to drinking lychee flavoured drinks … it is just way more drinkable than the melon version. Hahaha! <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon we forced ourselves to finish the fruity beer and moved on to another way more yummy beer.<\/em><\/p>\n

It has been a super-duper long and tiring day. Fitzand kicked me outta bed at 7:30am and I brought him out for breakfast and practically spent most of the day entertaining him. I told myself that I’ll finish shooting a roll of film this weekend and that plan went up in ashes as I only managed around 10 shots. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fitzand & his favourite ‘jie jie’, Noreen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Time to go take a shower and get some rest … and welcome Monday with open arms … NOT!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh … almost forgot to post this … my favourite shot of the day …<\/p>\n
