Free Day Today - Lunch at BBQ Chicken...

My free day today... no lessons today... so go over to Toyota Pandan to service my car, and 顺便 change my old old tires... so today car's bills will be costly... nevermind lah, pamper it a bit lah... Am now in BBQ Chicken, West Coast Plaza outlet... Had the lunch promotion meal, chose the Korean grilled chicken (w/ 2 side dishes : Olive oil rice & coleslaw), complimentary soup-of-the-day (mushroom cream today), 1 scoop of ice-cream & 1 drink... yes, now blogging there...

(1) Mushroom soup (B+) - quite creamy, with slightly bigger-than-usual chunks of mushrooms... can feel the mushroomy flavour... portion is a bit small, but this should be correct: not too much, else will feel too full to eat the main meal....


(2) Korean Grilled Chicken (A) - Overall taste is sweet... meat is indeed flavourful - lives to the name of 24 hours of marinate!!!! Can taste the flavour in the meat too... guess they used sweet onions ... meat is tender, not tough... skin is good, though I remove most to slow down my "pregnancy"... Olive-oil rice is ok... coleslaw is... well... coleslaw... hahaha... not too bad...


(3) Chocolate ice-cream (A-) - sticky gluey chocolate poured over the chocolate ice-cream... Goooooood.... sprinkled coloured-sugar bits shows they are now sloppish over free-bies... I see the sincerity...

(4) Coffee (C+) - hmm... thin... taste like McDonald's type, but smells more fragrance...




Overall : Good, recommend for friends/colleagues makan-gathering...

Dog Tired... And It's Supposed to be School Holiday Now

Anyway... took a picture of a student in an earlier exam, with a funny hair pin (or stick? Dunno what it is called... ) with a pencil shape!!! Funny!...


My nephew's birthday gift from his aunt or someone... cool... has solar panel to power a small fan & sunglasses that slides down...

Oh, celebrated his birthday last last week...

Expo Mania Today

Singapore Expo is extremely crowded today... lots of events happening today: License-2-Play (with Toy Carnival), Popular Fair, Food Fair, John Little Sale, etc etc... Hear people complain that they are caught in a jam for 3 hours before able to drive into the Expo car park... Heng ah, I expected this to happen, and decided to go by bus, hahaha... Personal haul (partial) as seen below:


John Little Expo Sale - Met up old secondary school friend Xiao Wei there!! So coincidence, and she also bumped into CYQ earlier! What a small world... Now she is already a mother of 2, so fortunate...

The Toy Carnival - this year is a little small corner, compared to last year's 2 levels, sigh.. , just some stalls, and not many have wonderful offers...

S'pore Food Fair - Was too crowded and too late, so did not venture into it...

Dinner Now...

Yup, my dinner now... Oil-Chicken Rice (油鸡饭)... home-cooked... niceeeee....

Lunch at Xing Wang (Terminal 3)

Went to Xing Wang Cafe at Terminal 3 today, after praying session at Bugis... Got to wait for a short while, place still full around 1 plus 2pm... Ordered the Char Siew Rice with Fried Egg... Nice!!!! Comes with 2 little deep-fried wan-tons... ok, maybe a little too sweet... but its ok for me... First time drinking iced coffee-tea mix, nice too!!! Totally enjoyed the lunch... (some other food not in picture are 3-mushrooms-cabbage, pan-fried chive dumplings, all very nice!!)

Interesting Stuff

Saw these beautiful wine bottles in the Cash Converter... Eiffel Tower shaped bottles, interesting, aren't they? ... =)

Today my dad bought this... ENORMOUS size banana!!! ... He says the local name is Ox-Horn banana... size comparison with Nutella jar...

... its almost the size of my arm!!!!!

Amazing....

p.s. Sick since last night.. or this morning... ard 1 plus am... vomit... diarrhea... but still got to go work... hope can recover soon...

Edifier E3350 Multimedia Sound System

Bought this set of multimedia speakers Edifier E3350 at Courts today... $79, quite cheap... my dad bought the other Altec Lensing one... at 3 times of wht I paid for this, hahaha...

Tested it out, not bad!! Now waiting for night to fall and use my projector + sound system to covert bedroom to cinema, wahahahaha....

Edit:
Tested out... watched Transformers with my projector and used this system, its like in a cinema!!! really!!! ... tested out the Pirates of the Carribean III too... very nice... treble is a bit on the low, maybe I put the woofer too loud... but negligible... I mean, this is more than good enough already!!!! Other fators like my small room and air-conditioned also helps in the sound... Of course there are better systems, but hey, at this price, it performs excellent... real good...
