And i have returned from the perils of the genting/kl trip of my unharmed and probably 2 kg heavier Well, first complaint i guess would be the not so fantastic yet over priced food. Take this bak ku teh for example, cost be like $10 (sing) and yet theres like no pork ribs and i found like intestine and other parts of the pork in it instead. Well, weather didnt play a good part in this trip too. Upon reaching there, it was pretty hot that we thought global warming was that bad. The next day, when we decided to come out and play, the rain came, and it was freezing instead. Nevertheless we still managed to get on some rides. The ever spinning tea cups and you thought it was a kids ride (actually it is but try spinning it continuously for like 3 mins)![]() "Sweet?"This is the ride that totally made the whole trip worth it. It goes all the way up before it jus drops. And fortunately it was real misty so when we were like 25m up? it was all mist and clouds, so it took away the scare for a lil while before the drop. And its terrifying, the feeling of your heart popping out, unforgettable, but fun.
Anyway, thinking back, something really scary happened. A mysterious guy kept staring over when we were having A&W. When we left, he followed us! Literally STALK. In addition he had the psychopath look and all, so it was really intimidating. So having watched enough dramas we tried to shake him off. They went forward while i guarded the back. I was staring at him when i finally caught him sneaking up on us, immediately he turned around and headed into a shop, but guess wad, he headed into a restaurant and his hasty exit from there confirmed our suspicion. Well i thought i lost him when i saw him head down the escalator but apparently he didnt. So, Plan B. We took the escalator down, from the first floor, then the lift to the third floor, and finally the pest was gone. Well, night shopping wasnt fantastic too, but we had a great finding in the ramily (Spellpo) man

i mus first apologise for the poor picture quality which definitely does not do justice to the wonderful food. Think i better stop taking pictures with my 3 mega pixel phone and instead switch to an SLR. Anyway, i'm heading to Malaysia from today till wednesday on my search for even better food. (neh, just going for a holiday) So till Thursday then.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok, I think I have learnt how to take up a close up of all the food that i forgotten to take a picture of the stall itself. DOH! Anyway, this is the Hokkien Mee stall at Food Republic at Wisma. In my opinion there are 2 types of Hokkien Mee. The wet kind and the dry kind, and this belongs to the wet kind. Theres also this slightly burnt taste which makes it rather nice. The stock they used is also sweet and taasteful. However, it still pales in comparasion to the one at chomp chomp. A lil overrated. Its a minimum of $4 a plate 3 and a half stars for this one Labels: Hokkien Mee at Wisma

![]() Some of the weirdest things you will see on your way to the bus stop. Notice the 3 cats? They are like living their lives on the edge literally. I have no idea how they got there but they're like 4 levels above ground? ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok, this is cute i guess? haha

![]() Ok, went out with a little girl to celebrate her belated birthday last week. And we went to Sentosa! ok, for all those who have not taken this sky ride and the LUGE, you better make ur way there. Its really fun, going down at supersonic speed on our f1 wannabe cars. However their tagline is reali right "once is never enough" because their route is like so short, before you know it, you already at the foot of the hill.(or it could be due to our super fast race karts) Anyway, main point is dinner.Jus look how happy she is or is she not? ![]() Headed over to the soup restaurant at centrepoint. It had a beautiful decor i mus say. just look behind her. ![]() ok, how can you not try the soup at the soup restaurant? The soup of the day was great. think it was some melon and pork ribs. Delightfully sweet and addictive, a great way to start off the meal. ![]() Next up, Samsui Chicken, their Signboard dish. The very first time i saw it, i was thinking to myself, what an expensive plate of chicken rice chicken. But please dun be deceived by the looks of it. Its really good the chicken, especially the sauce in the center. yesssssh the sauce.. haha great great dish. A MUST TRY!
Next, is the begger's bowl tofu. Really smooth, and the sauce is really special. Loved the cute bowl
Desert had a long name. Ok, we had Double Boiled Pear with Snow Fungus and Almonds. Can't they have a simpler name? But it was sweet and good, well maybe it had too much fungus, but nevertheless sweet and a good way to end off the meal Service was excellent, the waitress was always refilling our cups and cleared the table efficiently. We even gave the waitress the good service card. Its always good to acknowledge good service. (or could it be due to the lack of customer at that point of time) =x Pricing was affordable too. A meal for 2 or 3 cost like $50? My first 5 stars goes to Soup Restaurant! Labels: Soup Restaurant

ok, today we have the Xiao Long Bao, which in English is "Xiao Long Bao" (imagine the chinese waiter saying it in an chinese slang) which he did actually, to our dear friends from down under. Anyway, yes, this is the xiao long bao that i swear by , even though mr tay claims that there are those at bukit i dunno where, but till i have them, the Ding Tai Feng's one will suffice. (Remember to put the whole thing in your mouth before taking a bite) this will only all the juice, to explode in your mouth. But but do so after letting it cool for bout 5 mins. =)
Yea, sadly though, the variety is superlimited and having eaten there like ten times, it's kinda get boring. But 4 stars nonetheless

ok, beach road's LOR mee is up today .A delicious bowl of lor mee is served, with loads of ingrediants and a sinfully good sauce. The lor mee was actually really really good. The sauce was tangy and smooth, and the variety of ingrediants like fish, yam, wanton egg was a good mix.
So you can see how much i liked it. 4 stars for this but this still came up a little short compared to the one at upper circular road. =) Labels: Beach Road Lor Mee

Ok, i mus so apologise for the short entries. Think i have too many entries but so little time. So i shall stop here today. Last dish would be the indonesian bbq at PS foodcourt. Looks really good right. Personally i found it pretty nice, the skin of the chicken was crispy the meat tender. The only complain was that the sauce was a tinge salty. Pricing wise, its $4.30 up from the $3.80 when i last ate it. Plus theres no veg in this dish, you have to pay an addition $0.50 for the veg.Overall i give it 3 and a half stars! ![]() Labels: indonesian bbq chicken rice

Really affordable too. However, the char siew is pretty average . 3 and a half stars!![]() Labels: roasted duck rice (kovan)

![]() ok, i'm gonna whine. Even though there are loads of other stuff that i haven't posted yet, i shall talk bout the midnight curry stall along upper serangoon road(hope i got it right) As you can see, it looks all so tasty. Potatoes, egg, and pig's intestine but at $5. yes, its so high priced. Prices apparently went up so much that they have no way of proving that it was due to the GST hike. I have ordered previously and nv have i hit the big 5, and today even without a meat dish it hit it! Ugh, i'm going to order another time soon, to confirm this finding, maybe its jus the auntie. food is a 4 stars though Labels: midnight curry

Pumpfest was at vivocity last weekend in case you didnt notice the commotion on the 3rd floor of the shopping complex. And i have managed to take this opportunity to sample some of the newer stalls in vivo.So, on the last day, we went down to this shop called Kolo Mee. (well that's what i remembered ) at Basement 1. You cant miss it if you're taking a train to vivo. Ok, so whats kolo mee? well to me it actually looks so much like instant mee with wanton mee's ingredient. It comes with wantons, prawn, char siew. (Abalone slices too if you are willing to pay the difference) Looks pretty much decent, but the food, it's all right. Taste was average with a very bad "msg" aftertaste. yea, they probably put an overdose of it. Pricing wise, i thought that it was ok for a shop in vivo. A bowl cost bout $5. ($8 for abalone)
so 3 stars? i think i should invent the 1/2 star format now. Labels: kolo mee

Service is slow, food is so "Msgish" crabs look great but taste bad. Bu it was cheap though. 3 for $14 But why even pay for bad food. 2 Stars. period. ![]() Labels: kovan

Headed over to Sentosa on thursday with the guys. But the important thing was that we drove down to the army market at beach road and afterwhich, had our lunch! ![]() Fried Kway Tiao! Yes, the famous "healthy" fried kway tiao (how healthy can it really get) with ikan bilis and loads of green vegetables! Definitely a must have if you ever come here. The unique combination of ikan bilis is actually not that bad. However, one minus point bout it is the value for money. As you can see the portion isnt that much and that is already the $4 version of this dish. But nevertheless a great dish worth 4 stars! ![]() As i was leaving, i saw a que forming from a stall. ![]() Belgian Chocolate fondue! yes, fondue in a hawker center. However didnt manage to have a taste of it , due to the lack of time. Looks good though, the thought of chocolate on waffles and fruits and gelato ice cream. Perfect desert!
