Im back...

It is been a very busy month for me. Not enough time to sleep and no enough time to blog. Well im back now in '07, i will share more things with you guys beside food in Singapore, i will share some items i found interesting.

Lets start out in Jan '07. I bought 2 Rain's albums . Eternal rain and Rain's world. Rain is korean hip pop ,R&B artist. He is very good in movement and dance. Very cool. I bought his albums cause i keep on saw his advertisement in the television. Both albums are superb cool. When you listen to it , you just wan to shake your booty and groove to the music. Excellent.

Singapore's Katong Food Attack
One good saturday afternoon, Mike, Soon Chek and I have no idea what to have for our lunch. It's been almost 2 months we in Geylang and most of the tasty lovely food in Geylang had been conquered by us. Suddenly came out of no where we thought of go to Katong to try Singapore famous Curry Laksa, Rojaks and Otak-otak. So we took a bus no.40 down to East Coast and the fees is around 85cents. Once we reached there , there are 3 Curry Laksa shops. One is famous because it is the pioneer, the other two i have no idea what they famous of. So, we went to the Laksa shop which is the pioneer. I ordered a bowl of Curry Laksa SGD3.00, 3 Otak-otak, (each cost 80cents) and a Rojak SGD3.00. Once the food come and served on the table i start to dig. However, eating Katong Curry Laksa is a bit different than other place, why? Because they don't provide you chopsticks. The noodles is short so they want you to eat the noodles with the gravy by just using spoon. The gravy is riched with "Santan" - coconut milk. Yummy!!.

Wonderful ,tasty, yummy laksa!

The Curry Laksa served with prawn, bean spout and clams
Mike enjoying the Laksa Soon Chek also enjoying it.

Rojak
The Rojak is normal for me. It is well served with "you-tiao" , fried tao-fu, mangoes, cucumbers, peanuts, bean spout and i can't remember. The rojak doens't tasted any special compare to Malaysia rojak. However i think this is the best Rojak in Singapore. I enjoyed it alot.

Delicious Rojak.

Otak-otak

The Otak-otak is nice, very nice and awesome. Otak-otak is made from fish flesh. The otak-otak they sell is so nice, you can taste the freshness of the fish and the spicy and curry they put in. It is well marinated. The Otak-otak is wrapped in a banana leave and then barbeque it.

Barbequed Otak-otak.Well cooked and marinated Otak-otak. Superb!!

My Rating : 5/5
It is a must try Curry Laksa in Singapore. Remember, Katong Curry Laksa. Rojak and Otak-otak is the best in Singapore but can get better one in Malaysia

Head Back to Singapore
I headed back to Singapore after i spent couple of days in Malaysia. It was awesome. I took Japanese Airline back to Singapore. Nothing much to say bout the JAL. One thing different when take JAL from KLIA to Changi, there are many japs. If you are one of those into japs "lenglui" - "beautiful gals" . then you should try JAL

I took MRT from Changi airport back to Aljunited at 2315. As you can see it is so empty.

Back in Malaysia !!!
I was back in Malaysia on 4th Nov to 5th Nov 2006. Well it was a very busy and fun weekend. Morning i went shopping with my gf, at night i went yum cah with my friends Jed, Mun yee and my gf. The midnight i went for futsal. It was great to be back in home country after weeks in Singapore.

I went yum cha with Jed and Munyee in Cheras Business Center. And i found this place okie. The enviroment was good, food and beverage is fine. However, i changed my mind and think that this place is sux. Reason? Coz they dont practice non-smokers dinning room. im very pissed off. and wont go that place again." Sien".

We got this "artistic" decorated curtain with blue ray.

"Ice blendid" !! i think is splendid ice blended, that's why called blendid. Normal snack, crab sticks, fries and sausages

Close up with food. yum yum

They dont provide you any girls to sit on your lap while you enjoy your food. But they provide giraffe!!

Munyee and Jed. One happy one sad wonder why.

My lovely girlfriend. Miss her alot.

Geylang's famous Food.

There are 3 kinds of food famous in Geylang. 1) The Frog. 2) Beef Noodles aka Beef Kway Teow. 3) Yu Tiao (fried cruller) with soya milk. "Yu Tiao" is mandarin, it mean Oily Stick. It is made from flour and then deep fried. That is why it is so oily. However, it tasted wonderful. I managed to grab the famous "Yu Tiao" in Geylang. I am not sure whether the stall is the most famous in Geylang, but this "Yu Tiao" is special compare to Malaysian's "Yu Tiao" because of its length.

Fried "Yu Tiao" Yum!!!

Oily, Yummy, Tasty.

Lengthy "Yu Tiao"

The length of the "Yu Tiao" is so incredible!!! Wa.. sai.. I cannot believe my own eyes the moment i see it. It is one A4 paper size.I think around 28cm long. In Malaysia most of the time i will only see half of its length. Crazy sial !!

"FooLamak!!" Check it out, freaking long!!

An A4 size "Yu Tiao" !!! No kidding man.

The "Yu Tiao" is not famous by its own. It is eat with soya milk. The idea, method, or habits of eating "Yu Tiao" with soya milk is originated from Taiwan. The soya milk doesn't tasted any special. When i mixed together and eat, it just tasted like every sunday morning the "Yu Tiao" and soya milk my mom bought from "pasar" wet market.

Nice combination! Just like a perfect husband and wife.

It just make me hungry. Don't read this blog, if you havent had anything yet.

Testing "Yu Tiao" time!!!

1st tell the "Yu Tiao" you going to eat it.

2nd Ask him whether got any last word to say before being eaten.

3rd eat the "Yu Tiao" with full passion.

YUM!!! It tasted GREATT!!!!

Lastly, if you dont enjoy it just put your thumb up for advertising purposes.

It is a great Asian snack!!. Good for breakfast and tea break. I doens't find it special compare to Malaysia's "Yu Tiao". I like it, because i like "Yu Tiao". It is recommended for a try if you havent eat before "Yu Tiao".

My Rating : 3/5 It is a good food. the taste and the texture of the "Yu Tiao" is not something special to me.

Singapore McD's McSpicy

Beside i having McFantastic, i got myself another burger McSpicy. Nothing much to comment about this burger. It taste like Malaysia McD's McDeluxe. But.... McSpicy tasted BETTER. It is spicier than McDeluxe. However according to the Singapre McD nutrition facts, if McSpicy vs Chicken Fan-tastic, McSpicy is not an ideal meal.

As you can see McSpicy has more sodium, fat, cholesterol and yet less fibre. But the combination of the juiciness meat with the seasame bun plus the creamy fresh mayonnaise is awesome. It tasted yummy. It is must try. For those healh conscious people just take note.

My Rating: 5/5

McSpicy!!!

Look super nice. It make me hungry everytime i see this picture.

Yum!!! See the juiciness of the chicken and the seasame bun. Oh!La!La!

Singapore McD's Chicken Fantastic.
I came to Singapore for sometimes. I had many food here but not fastfood. My brother told me once, every country fast food restaurant got their own specialities. So i went to McD and check it out. See the menu from far. McFantastic. The picture look like grilled bun which fried chicken. When i opened the box, i was to surprised. It is not grilled bun, it is grilled rice. the "bun" actually is RICE.

The 1st bite. Hmm taste weird. Tasted like soya souce. I think it is from the rice. The rice taste nice, tender and juicy. 2nd bite. The combination of the rice and fried chicken is marvelous. It is like eating Taiwanese famouse fried chicken chop rice. It is a great effort from McD to create a variety of "burger". However, i don't really like it because you go McD to eat burger not rice. haha.

My Rating : 4/5

The package. look like Chicken foldover in M'sia

Top view of Chicken Fantastic. See the rice bun? Look Yummy!

Front view. Wah.. look so tasty cant wait to eat la. Oh yea. Chicken Fantastic come with alot vegies. Good for digestion.

"Wa bo zhai liao la. Jiak!!!" - hokkien Cannot wait liao la. EAT!!!. Look at the rice. Round round nice nice and yummy.

City Link
When you go to Suntec City, you have to take MRT to City Hall and walk 10mins to Suntec City. The underground walking tunnel amazed me. The tunnel called City Link. The link is fully air-conditioned. There are many shops along the path. Honestly, i dont feel i was walking in a tunnel to Suntec City because the link make me feel like im in another shopping mall. I like this contruction and ideas. It fully utilized the space underground. Bravo.
My rating : 5/5

The City Link logo.

As you can see the tunnel link is an "L" shape and i need to walk from one end of the "L" to the other. Along the tunnel is all shops. Cool!!

Inside the tunnel. Look like mall dont it.

Another view, another feel of the mall
