Scissors Curry Rice

You remember how countries trick tourists? Like Singapore tourism board tells people that Char Kway Teow and Bak Kut Teh is really from Singapore? And how the Pad Thai was never really Vietnamese?

Get my analogy so far? No? No?

I was duped into ordering from the Scissors Curry Rice from the Food Republic at Wisma Atria many months ago. A better review can be seen here at the ORIGINAL location, and I have learnt this valuable lesson.

Don't believe the hype.

Fika Cafe

Fika Cafe or most popularly known as "Ikea lite," or "Yes we're Swedish and modular," was open many months ago and I went there recently over a weekend.

She she factor is high. Location, abit obscure but excellent for "private," dates.

Worth a gamble.

Service was excellent.

Changi Village's Amigo

I was tired and desperate. We just met a customer at Loyang and a friend of mine who doesn't live in the coolest part of Singapore (east coast baby!) wanted to eat at the revered Changi Village.

I brought her there and we ate at Amigo noodles. In Singapore, it seems like when one area is known for one thing, for example fishball noodles, there would be others that would want to serve the exact same thing at the same vicinity or radius. And this bothers me. Right beside Amigo is another store, which name I can barely remember but also serves the exact same thing.

This post isn't about the competition to Amigo noodles. Rather I just wanted to say that the noodles is something one should eat other than the countless Nasi Lemak stores and Ayam Penyet stores in the same hawker center.

Go early, or else you'll have no seat and you probably have to wait in line for a long time.

Everything with Fries

I love pink shirts. I do. 2 people who know me have seen me wearing them. I haven't worn one in a while, but I have to say that I most probably need to buy a new Lacoste pink polo shirt.

On the other hand, I don't like to be served by young teenage boys with brown hair and white shorts burgers and fries. I know who the restaurant is targeting but seriously?

I went with my colleagues to have some burgers and shakes, and I walked by it just a couple of days before my Korean excursion. And it gave me the same feeling I had while I am at Astons. Am I the oldest person here?

Food wise, decent would be complimentary. But the service in pink shirts were decent. The fries which is what the place is supposed to be about, wasn't outstanding. It was, how you say, pinkish?

Burgers on the other hand were actually of good quality but size rather small. But since this restaurant targets the young ladies as well as the old men whose appetite for meat are debatable, it should be fine.

Just a note, if you serve several types of fries, its best that your servers can articulate why they are different and how they are different.

Apologies!!!

Its been too long since I have written on this blog. Apologies to my one follower.

In this upcoming year, I plan to write more edgy and ridiculous and most likely rename my blog to food poisoning - I am still thinking about the latter.

There will be intrigue! ( Why I hate Ion)

Drama! ( The weather in Hanoi is lovely)

Irony (Chicken rice is not the best dish in Singapore? )

And most importantly, comedy. ( Yes, its true, Ris Low can help you not have sex. )

Laters,
