Caution Blind Man Driving

Image
First Remy Ong said and quote " but the thing is I didn't know that I actually hit the dog, "  Then GP Teo Tiong Kiat said quote " he did not know he had hit two cyclists ". Excuse me, were this 2 fellas blind? What a load of baloney! Surely they can come up with a better excuse than this: " like I thought it was an alien invading Singapore so I deliberately ran it down " or maybe " I was sleeping and I have this habit of sleep driving ". Let me put it this way. If they didn't know they hit somebody or something, why did they go back to the scene of the accident? If they didn't know they hit something, how do they know something had happened and where did it happened? A normal sane person will not drive back to retract the route unless he knew something had happened back there.  So I submit they knew they had hit something. As a driver of many years, it is not possible to know you had not hit anything. There has to be...

$2m Roast Meat?

Image
Since I had a little bit of time today and since everybody was talking about it, I decided to pay a visit to the $2.4m Kay Lee Roast Meat. I thought since it was still early and not yet lunch time, I probably don't have to wait too long. How wrong I was! I reached the place at about 11am and there was at least 20 person in the queue plus 2 person from some media doing filming. I waited a long time, 40 minutes to be exact. But it was an interesting wait. There was no roast duck at that time so I was kinda disappointed but by the time my turn came, out came the ducks. But more interestingly, was observing the behavior of the people  in the queue. One lady tried to order only roast meat and got a shelling from the dynamo lady boss. She, the lady boss, was so indignant that someone has the audacity not to order the char siew that she insisted that the lady takes the char siew as well otherwise no sale. Another lady who had ordered ahead for her colleagues also got ticked off. ...

But recently I did landed there and was fairly impressed by the sights.  A big courtyard that is "almost" air condition Big spacious mall with high end luxury stores A left over CNY decoration

Shark Fin

Image
I eat shark fin soup. In fact I also eat shark meat. There I said it! But unlike Sumiko Tan, I don't think I will be getting any flaming from netizens since 1) I am no celebrity writer or blogger and 2) not that many people read my weird all over the place posts anyway. Shark Fin soup at Huat Kee Teochew Restaurant   But back to the shark fin. I must admit I haven't watch any of those fin cutting, smash the dolphins, club the cows videos so far. In fact, I deliberately avoid seeing such videos so that I can continue to have my shark fin and beef without feeling guilty. But yes,  I am fully aware of the debate raging on about the extinction of sharks, the  consequential  collapse of the food chain in the sea, the cruelty of the fishermen blah blah blah Shark Meat So while I will order a nice beef steak for dinner or lunch, I have not gone out of my way to order shark fin soup. Me being a kiamseap, I will not pay exorbitance prices for some tastel...

Ah Orh Teochew Restaurant

Image
Ah Orh is one of the more famous Teochew restaurant in Singapore. Originally from the Ellenborough street market, when the place was demolished it moved to a shop unit at Jalan Bukit Merah where it has been since. The last time I was there was a zillion years ago but for some reasons or other, I have not been back since. Anyway, finally managed to go there for dinner one fine evening. Other than set menu, they have no other menu and to order, one go to the counter where there are an assortment of tanks of seafood and placed the order directly. At the recommendation of the son of Ah Orh, we ordered the winter melon soup which came in the whole winter melon. I wondered how they managed to keep the soup in and even more how M scooped the soup and the winter melon without breaking it. But this was probably the best dish of the whole evening. All Teochew restaurant worth it salt will have the oyster egg and this was no exception except that I thought it was rather o...

Wealth has turned Singaporean into Snob

It is sad. Not in my own backyard. No off days for maids. Calls to cull monkeys, dogs and birds. What has become of us Singaporean that we have become so selfish and intolerant. Me think it is wealth - Singaporean are now more wealthy and wealth has somehow turn these people into snob and selfish ingrate who think only of their own interest and will not tolerate anybody intruding into their world and making changes to it. I wonder how our future generations are going to turn out if this continues?

Kranji Nature Trail

Image
I have been to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve several times but have never stepped onto the Kranji Nature Trail which is just next to the carpark. With some time to spare in the evening, finally decided to go and have a look see. The Kranji Nature Trail is a 2km trail which starts from the carpark of the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and ends at Kranji Way. It was drizzling and we hurried through the trail and were not hopeful of spotting any things but to our surprise, manage to get a few shots of some of the creatures there. Some spiders. 

Malaysia Food Street at Resort World Sentosa

Image
.Was at Resort World and had dinner at this atas food court selling only Malaysian's food. It was extremely crowded when we walked in about 6.30 pm and getting seats was a big hassle. But in the end we found a place after I stared down at 3 ladies who were chatting oblivious to all the people searching high and low for seats.
