Mellben Seafood

I went to the "restaurant" in AMK that sells the famous 螃蟹米粉 for dinner with my bf and his family yesterday... We reached there at around 6.30 pm and the coffeeshop was already full house and there was already a quene outside while the customers waited for a table. According to the boss of Mellben Seafood, their store opens at around 5pm and people actually started queneing at around 4 plus. WOW...

We ordered several dishes like 麦片虾, 一品锅, 荷叶排骨, 菜圃鱼 and etc and of course we would miss out the 奶油螃蟹. Like the 砂锅螃蟹米粉, the 奶油螃蟹 is another 招牌菜 of the restaurant. I quite like the 奶油螃蟹... Yummy... I like the 荷叶排骨 and 菜圃鱼 but I am not very impressed with the rest of the other dishes. I think the 煮炒 store at the coffeeshop near my house has better dishes... So if anyone is dying to try out the food in the restaurant, it's enough to try out the crab dishes.. Don't put too much hope in their other dishes...

Julian Beever at work

Julian Beever aka Pavement Picasso

I know most people will know about this by now lah... But I just wanna blog about it... Pavement Picasson Julian Beever was invited by Nokia a few weeks ago to leave his mark in Singapore... I purposely went down to Raffles City to have a look at his pavement drawing... There's nothing more I can say than "O my... I can't believe I'm seeing this myself..." when I saw his drawing. I never thought I will be able to see it in person especially when I saw so many of his drawings from those email circulations... I think it's a remarkable piece of drawing... He actually made a note on the floor saying that the effect of this drawing is best seen in camera or print out... For those who has yet to see this, hurry down before you miss the chance of seeing it yourself...

Online ordering of Dunkin Donuts

I mentioned about the doughnut craze that hit Singapore before. Now for those who people who love doughnuts, you can now order them online! I got to know about them through SPUG OTC forum. The people who set up the online doughnut store claimed that the doughnuts are from Dunkin Donuts lah... But who knows whether they are real or not since they do not have an actual shop location. Some people suspect them to be bought from the Dunkin Donuts in Malaysia... They operate solely online and you will need to collect the doughnuts from specific places unless you order doughnuts worth of $105 and above.

I read that some people say it taste better than those from Doughnut Factory cos they are not so oily. I don't think anyone cares if they are selling authentic Dunkin Donuts so long as they taste great.

SPUG is back..

I used to frequent the Off Topic Chat of SPUG's forum last time but the forum was down due to some server or hardware problem I think. Even though they did have a temporary forum in place but for some reason I don't really like it there. Maybe that's why I seldom frequent that forum anymore.

I was quite bored in office today so I decided to pop by SPUG temporary forum to see if there's any interesting things ard. To my surprise, the old forum was revived already! Seems that they just managed to get everything get into place on thursday... Glad to see it back... Things still feel better in the old place...

Eat With Your Family Day

According to the newspapers, today is the so-called "Eat with Your Family Day". This is the fifth year that they are having this event liao... Supposed to encourage families to make it a ritual to dine together, as a way of promoting more open dialogue between young and old and of forging a greater understanding between family members.

But hor... frankly lah... maybe I seldom read the newspapers or what... This is actually the first time I heard about this "day"... Is it I swa gu or is it that the event is simply super not very successful?

SHE- 中国话 modification(台湾话)

Not sure if anyone heard about the controversy over SHE's new song 中国话. But people from Taiwan are definitely not very pleased with that song so they came up with their own version...
