Very full from Mellben

It was crab night!

Alot of crab! It was crab “buffet” for dinner in fact. 4 huge crabs + a couple of other side dishes for 6 people.

(Picture courtesy of minquan.)

It was a case of too much food being ordered for a smaller than intended group of people. (Emptied my wallet for that bill … haha!) Oh well … Thanks to those who came. Hope you all enjoyed the dinner as much as I did!

Shall not be bothered about those who did not turn up for whatever reasons. Reasons are a plenty, people just pluck one from the sky and serve it around as an appetizer for random selection. (Shall not go into a lengthy debate on my pov here, since it’s clearly not value adding to me in any way.)

The shop earns alot of money! The tank of crab was full on arrival. Upon departure, the tank was near empty.

I’m so FULL, again! (Tmr need to cut back!)

Take note of address: Mellben Seafood, 232 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3, near Mayflower Sec School.

Food of notable taste: The Crab bee hoon soup, the butter crab and the stir fried sweet potato leaves with Tau Lu. Other versions of crab are normal.

Emailed my ISP recently for some “feedback” and they GOT my feedback. Hope they actually do something about it. I’ll be “watching” them. >

For you I write …

This is for my die hard fans. (Although it really isn’t about you. It’s merely one of my complains about some people, who might fall into my “die hard” fans category.)

Arrange gathering … BUT …

1. People fly aeroplane
2. People don’t want to come
3. People arrive like 1 hour late (or later)

Still was a good chit chat session and thanks to the people who did turn up.
** Makes mental note **

They are back!

My mum and grandparents are back from their trip to Guangzhou. Seemed like they had fun. Did a lot of shopping though this time they seemed to have bought lesser things. Or was it they brought over lesser things. Oh well! Nah … no nagging … no complaining … about whatever tonight … For those who are anticipating a long essay of complains should be disappointed.

Going to office tmr to get some data, but should be done in a jiffy. Not going to aimlessly stay there.

p.s. It’s July. EIC is back in action.
It’s Friday … Phew!

The road to Fried Mee Swa

The road is long, with many a winding turn, that leads us to who knows where …

Lornie Rd … Braddel Rd … Lor Chuan … Boundary Rd … Yio Chu Kang Link … Yio Chu Kang Rd … and a few U-Turns, we finally made it to Kuali Teo Chew Restaurant. This is the place I recommended the last time my dad brought me to eat. Kuali

Their signature dish is the Fried Mee Swa or 潮州干炒面线. Deliciously fried with seafood, bean sprouts and it is not too salty, neither is it too bland.

Went down to Mohammad Sultan Road after that (this is like my 1st time in many many years) with intention to see see look look Beds (the one beside Rush, according to a friend’s friend). Hmm … Questionable ambience … There was, however, a bed nearby which had beautiful setting and delightful beds as couches for customers to laze in.

Ended up at Brewerks … since it is my 1st time there too, so it really made no difference where I went at all … Had the sample set (2 of them on the menu) …

11 different brew of beer to try from … It goes from light, to dark, slightly sweet to bitter, from Rasberry to coffee flavoured (that’s my own interpretation). Good try … though I drank lots of water to counter the effect of alcohol induced drowsiness that I am so prone to getting.

Final stop for the night (erm … morning) was an impromptu one at Fong Seng to visit the Millionaire in the neighbourhood. Yups! The Millionaire Prata Seller who owns ‘The Cheese Prata’ Shop at Fong Seng.

I’m really going places these few days … cool! How very exciting! I must say that I am enjoying myself very much. (Even if I have to be on attachment to do my HYP … where I get paid … (“,) )

Thanks again for the intro & the gd company!

Time to snooze … though most probably I will be all droopy eyed in the office tmr anyway.

The Wine Company

Very nice place at Dempsey Road. It’s very secluded and quite a drive in to the dark roads, but the place is quiet and nice. Quite crowded for a Tuesday night (and according to my brother is packed on weekends)

The wine we ordered … Red … Shiraz … 2003 … spicy …

Wanted the Cederberg, supposed to be good South African wine, but out of stock!

The Wine Company 

“You must get lost before you can find out where is it you want to be.”

… by my brother.

Ok, let me take a few months (hopefully within a few weeks also can) to get lost after I graduate and findout where is it I really want to be. For now, just let me peacefully complete my studies, trust in the Lord and … … all will have it’s time and all will fall into place. (Trust me!)

Blu Jaz

Photos just came in …

check out the place …

and check out ‘greeedy’ me …

Manic Monday

I definitely cannot be complaining about Monday Blues today. Nothing blue about today, except perhaps for the blue sky? Woke up on a lazy note, but managed to get up nonetheless. Was suppose to go with a friend to take pictures, but someone say I sleep until so late (but I never, what?!).

Went to my friend’s place and saw ‘historical’ photos which were very nice and cute. Heh Heh! I think you have a different ’sei’ with shorter hair.

Finally tried the Wanton Noodles at Jurong which had been bragged to me for sooo long. The noodle is nice. I really enjoyed the taste of it. It doesn’t have the floury taste and the gravy is yummy. The Ba Chor Mee (with Tur kwa) was also not bad. Gorged like a pig as usual! Burps!!!

Tanjong Beach, Sentosa – Took quite a while to find the right place (detouring at Siloso as well) but finally managed to find it. It was a quiet place and breezy. Not too hot and yupz, good for reading (and thinking.). Seems like quite a lot of couples getting married and getting their Wedding Photos taken at the beach. Seems like a chore to some though …

Beef Kway Teow – The usual kind that I eat at Scotts Food court does not compare to the one at Pulvis Street near the National Library @ Bugis. The soup is good. The gravy for dry noodles is good. The beef is tender and nice. Yummys x2!

Went to the National Library after that to take a look at the exhibition my dad’s company – Eng Leong Medallion – was involved in setting up. Medals of Singapore. This exhibition showcases the medals of heroes of Singapore such as Ms Elizabeth Choy, General Winston Chew, our Minister Mentor and many others. The show case is nicely done up and even explains the process of medal making for the interested. I also was pleasantly surprised by the Digital Art exhibition outside that section. It showcases digital work by disabled people (people who have degenerative diseases) and the works are very good, though abeit sad in nature. Check them out at www.dase.com.sg The works are on Level 10 and will be up till 2 July. The medal collection will be there till September. Check it out too!

Little India in search of Blu Jaz … Went to Little India and my first time there in many many years and I was quite surprised that Singapore still have such flavour and culture on her streets. I needn’t go all the way to Cambodia to see such interesting sights! Little India is actually quite cool, with the little shops, the roadside stalls, etc … Blu Jaz had closed that shop at Dunlop Street and moved to Bali Lane, facing North Bridge Road. Check them out there. The ambience is quite cool. Very advant garde! No live performance that night, perhaps due to the Live telecast of the football match between Aus and Italy (with Italy winnind 1-0).

Parkview Square, the place for the high and mighty and rich … only went to the outside to see see look look and I was very impressed. It was so grand and majestic, it really was a nice sight to behold, especially with all the swallows flying around the building, which according to a friend means good fortune. One day, I shall dine inside the wine restaurant!

Villa Bali @ Alexandra Road – 1st time here … (so many first time, yar?! like I said, what would I do w/o you to bring me to all my first time places?) Very nice anc cosy ambience. Tropical, with lots of trees, cushions, really a nice chill out place. Closes quite early, though … 4 pm to 12 midnight only. Guess they dun encourage late nights for people.

… …

If every Mondays could be like that … (heck!) If everyday could be like that … [how could I earn my keep then?] … (whatever!)

Good Night (Morning!), everyones!
