These two characters are my bf's and my favorite! Every night we would want to listen to them just to hear what they have to say. I miss their show. Hope they'll be doing a new one soon.
It was their 5th birthday and together with couple of Yebbers, we joined in the celebration last night. On this special evening, the place was transformed to a stylish cocktail environment where tables were set-up around the restaurant with their chefs and service staff serving up some of their best modern Chinese cuisine.
Without a doubt, My Humble House is the place to go for their chic and modern dining atmosphere. Experience the art of dining at My Humble House. One thing that we agreed in unison was the beauty of the decor and uniqueness of cutlery used.
The menu served that night includes Lobster Popiah, Foie-grass, Scallops, Wagyu Beef, Peking Duck, Fried Chicken Rice and tantalizing selection of desserts. There were also wine tasting tables spread across the room with 18 different varieties of old & new world wines.
Personally, my favorite from that night were the Peking Duck, Wagyu Beef and the Fried Chicken Rice. Let me elaborate a little about the Fried Chicken Rice...
Served in miniature cups, this is not just any usual chicken rice nor how the name suggested. When one hears the dish Fried Chicken Rice, one will imagine having crunch chicken bits with steamed chicken rice. However, their version was the total opposite. With the chicken rice fried and topped with steamed shredded chicken. And before you eat, they add in the chicken soup. The combination was unique and out of the norm. Bite into the spoonful of rice with soup, and feel the crispiness of the chicken rice.
Overall the food from the night was average. This may be due to the buffet style dinner, mass production of food, and hence the quality of the food is not up to their usual standard. Perhaps it'll be much better to go dine and try the regular menu. But then, that'll also mean paying a lot more for that.
Located at China Square food centre, this fried fish soup stall was formerly located at Blanco Court ( The present Raffles Hospital ) and that is why the name remain as Blanco Court fried fish soup.
I frequent this stall during the blanco court time with my collegues. It was so delicious that I can even take the same food for a few consecutive days. There was no queue at all ( because queuing is not neccessary at that time ) but you can see almost every table with at least one person waiting for it.
The soup was tasty and the fried fish is fresh.
At China Square, you can still see many ppl queuing for it, but somehow I find that the standard drop slightly. It is still tasty as compared to other stalls who try to inmitate it.
But the soup is less tasty now and the fried fish is not as crispy as previously.
However, I still like this until I can find something better.
This is one site that all book lovers should join. Find books in BookJetty and it'll search through Amazon for details and listing of the books that matches your query. The most exciting thing is the integration of the search of the books in National Library too!! Yes! Our dear NLB! It'll tell you where you'll be able to find the book and whether or not its on loan and if you need the list of libraries with the book, you can even send a SMS to yourself so that you don't have to write it down on paper.
I've not been reading for long long long long time. (Apart from reading in Yebber and the other blogs I read.) But now with BookJetty, I might just pick up reading again! So loving the feature of BookJetty! Go try it to see it yourself!
After a whole day without food, we went to Sakura for buffet dinner. Each pax $28 7%gst on weekends and $26 7%gst on weekdays. Price wise, its considered one of the cheapest buffet around. Serving quite a wide spread of Japanese food (sushi, sashimi, tempura, tepanyaki etc), Dim Sum, Chinese cooked food and yummy cakes.
We've been there many times for their high-tea buffet which consists of just sushi and sashimi. This was our first for their dinner. And we were satisfied with the entire experience. The food is good (not very good), taste wise still alright (after eating that much, the taste just blended) and the choices were alright for the price.
Can take a peep at what they serve in the photos I've uploaded. These are just 1/3 of what they have there.
I used to take my lunch here when my office was at Macpherson road. Now I hardly eat from this stall because it is a distance from my present office and I have forgotten this place totally until I saw this post.
To my understanding, this stall is run by a family and the mother is the main cook. That reminds me of my home cook meal in the good old day. It has around 20 dishes and I have tasted more than 10 dishes throughout the years. However, my favourite dishes is around 7, it includes fried egg, steam fish with ginger, spinage with dried silver fish, cabbage with dried prawn, otah with chilli and sadine. In fact, they have better dishes than these such as fried chicken, pork leg, black soya sauce fish etc. But I like these simple dishes because the way she cook is so different from other porridge stalls. All dishes look fresh when display on the shelf. From the look of it already boost our appetite.
All dishes are common and simple but they just taste good from this stall. Mainly because the food here are clean, fresh, warm and 'healthy'. The only setback is the price. They are more expensive from other stalls although it is value for money.
Happen to past by and decided to give it another try after so many years. I wonder whether this is the same stall at Allenby road many years back. But it seems that there is another stall with the same name ( but w/o the first word Cheng 正 ) at 01-34 in Eminent Plaza.
The chilly is still as good as before. The soup is a little salty and sweet. But is definitely more tasty than many other stalls. The meat ball is nice and others are ok too except for the liver which is a little below standard today. It is hard and does not look fresh. May be it is over cooked.
It is quite a good location for them. Not enough parking space so that everyone will eat and go to avoid 'summon' indirectly create a high turn over for the stall.
I don't think I will give it a five but 4 is definitely justifiable.
Was at Millenia Walk with two girlfriends and I wanted to try out Abof, but the price was alittle high for a casual dinner. So we went to Bab Noodle. Although the name suggested that they serves noodle, but I saw my rice on the menu. To change the rice to noodles is an additional $2. Shouldn't they call it Bab Rice then?
Anyway, the 3 of us ordered 2 starters to share and a main each with iced lychee tea for all of us. There were 3 lady staff at work. And as it was late already, the place was rather empty. We were given all the attention we needed. So this was great. Except for my missing straw in my drink, and the fallen spoon from my table. Other than that, the service was great.
Now the food... the starters - Pidan with cold tofu and Seafood tofu were great! Love the taste. As for the main, I was contemplating between the Sukiyaki Beef Set and the Stew Beef with Karrage Chicken Set. I asked the lady who took our order which she recommends, and Sukiyaki was her choice. So I gave that a try. The serving was rather big for me. I was too full only half way through the set. But then the main problem came when I reached home couple of hours later... yap... had a "blasting" time in the loo... perhaps its the beef. As there were some that I thought looked weird. Or again, might be due to the combo of food I had for dinner. Lucky for me, I feel better now after the blasting.
Total spent by the 3 of us was $58.40.
For the service and attention, I give 2 stars and for the value-for-money set meals I'm giving another. Not going to rate the food as my experience was probably uncalled for.
It is quite an eyesore each time I made call and saw my Motorola V3X's corroded keypad. I heard many people have the same problem as me and it seems to happen to only motorola's phone. Changing the keypad is quite expensive ( I was told it costs $120 ) and a new phone with upgrade plan may cost about the same. Therefore, I decided to change the phone rather than the keypad.
But there are so many phones in the market, which is a better phone? I started calling up shops based on the advertisment and felt very disappointed with all of them until i Came to talk to this person Agnes from 3g Mobile at Bedok central.
Agnes is very friendly and helpful. I can sense that she was very busy attending to the customer and at the same time talking to me on the phone. However, she did not sound impatient at all. She still talk to me politely and tried her very best to suggest a phone to me. I told her my requirement is very simple, I want it slim and with FM radio. She suggested a few models and explain the different on each model. After a few minutes, she suggested that I go down to her shop in a very nice way.
In fact, every shop said the same thing and I can accept this person's suggestion but not the rest, why? The reason is very simple, all others did not border to ask me my requirement and simply said 'You must come down and choose it yourself' and Agnes say 'Samsung 600 seems to suit your need and you can come down and take a look at the phone'.
Go down to choose it myself is as good as no advice. Go down and take a look at the suggested phone has removed my headache of selection.
I went down at 8.30pm and settled with Samsung SGH-U600 as suggested by her even though I need to pay $498 for a non-3G phone when I can get discount on a newer Sumsung 3G phone.
If you are just as blur as me when selecting phone and you need advice, Agnes may be a good person to talk to.
Secrets at Eleven is a relaxing and very nice place to get your pretty nails. Located on the second level (above Happy Daze). The decor is simple and welcoming. I had my meni done at their balcony. Imagine, relaxing on a big arm chair, with open view of the happenings below me and the friendliest manicurist. 2 other friends can sit next to you by the balcony and together have your nails done up, drink a cup of nice warm tea and catch-up with the latest happenings in life.
The manicurists know their products very well and their service and skill is good. When come to choosing colors for the nails, they'll try on every color you want to see on each of your nails so that you can see exactly how it looks like on your hands. (I ended up with 10 different color on my fingers!) This is great cos you'll not regret only after all the nails were painted. They wouldn't rush you and they'll be more than glad to try on as many colors as you want so that you're happy with the decision.
For just $23 for a classic mani and $33 for a classic pedi, Secrets at Eleven is the place to go with your girlfriends!
