Figaro the cutest ragdoll cat
Figaro was brought into the family 2 years ago. What attracted me to purchase him on the spot was his eyes and his snowy white fur. At first glance , he does resemble a baby fox. Figaro is a 3 month old sealpoint ragdoll.
The ragdoll is a cat breed with distinctive blue eyes and is characterised by its large muscular body and silky coat. This is a good choice for me as this is a cat who is docile and affectionate by nature. The term 'ragdoll' is derived from its tendency to go limp as its relaxed when picked up.
This is a picture sent by the pet farm salesman.
This was how he looked like at the pet farm with his adoring dewy eyes. He simply looks cherubic! Wouldn't you get him?
After a week of getting my place ready for him and this includes shopping for suitable toys, cat bed and reading up more on how to care for kittens, I finally brought him back home. Contrary to what he seems to be like when I first saw him at the pet farm where he was quiet and distracted, he seemed to be very affectionate and was meowing quite a bit.
This is Figaro relaxing in his new home.

Menya Musashi Ramen at Vivocity Singapore
Menya Musashi Ramen
Vivocity
1 Harbourfront walk #01-104
Ramen outlets have been springing up everywhere in Singapore but this was the first time I had a black soup based ramen. The black soup base has onions and garlic and made the noodles especially fragrant when eaten. As for the pork belly slices that embellished the dish, they were soft and flavourful.
I also tried the dry tom yum ramen. This was particularly interesting as even through this came without any soup broth, every strand of ramen seemed soaked in the ramen for hours and you can taste the Tom Yum soup oozing from even bite you chew on the ramen. Amazing! However, not all may like this dish as this may be too sourish for some. I like the unique taste though. In fact, the lady next table saw this dish and changed her order upon taking a few glimpses of me savouring the dish!

Dinner at LENU taiwanese beef noodles
Lenu
1 Harbourfront Walk
#02-91/92/93
I was walking around vivocity when I chanced upon this outlet selling authentic braised Taiwan beef noodles and decided to join in the queue to try it. After half an hour of queuing, I finally got to savour the noodles.
The noodles were rather springy and the soup not too overpowering. The bowl was accompanied by 3 slices of beef. As for the must try chili placed on the table, it was too salty for my liking and I will give it a miss if I were to dine there again. This is one of the better beef noodles in Singapore but I still miss the beef noodles at Taipei!
Upon getting my seats, I was curious to also try out the cold tofu with century egg which was snapped up in in under 10 minutes after it was refilled at the counter. I took the last bowl. The tofu was fresh and the soya sauce that it was soaked brought out the flavour of the tofu and century egg. The price tag was also affordable for the dish at $2.90.
To add some fibre to the meal, I also ordered the boiled kalian with garlic. This was a refreshing choice as opposed to most places who would stir fry the vegetables, this dish was first boiled and oyster sauce and garlic was then poured over it. This is definitely a healthy choice! This dish did not disappoint but portion was a little small for 2 persons to share.This dish is priced at $4.90.
