Its my grandma's birthday today. its so happening. Last week was only fathers day and this week is my grandma's birthday

I love my grandmother alot, she took care of me when i was young. And this was when i started to learn malay and started to appreciate my peranakan culture.

Well, since her celebration is at night, which mean i have the whole day to myself.

I did not have a pleasant morning at all. simply piss me off. the pic below will speak a thousand words. The van was blocking everyone way.No one knows what hell is he doing and he was apparently blocking the parking space that is for us.

We exchange a few unpleasant words, and threatened him that i will call the police as he was foul and unrepentant of his actions to block people's right of way. later on i took some pic, and he was convinced that he will get in trouble and start to drive off .. really cannot understand people at all. -- STOP THE CAR JUST TO WAIT FOR THE BREAD SHOP TO MAKE UR WAFFLE ? oh please, then park it properly! and dont confront people.

Then i have this wonderful breakfast .. LONTONG!! i tell you this is power. so if you stay at bukit batok . give you a hint, find the famous curry puff called hello. there are 2 coffeeshop facing oneanother .. and may iris salon is nearby .. lol.. at ave 3

well .. no pics dude .. couldnt find the right lighting

okay .. after breakfast, headed down to beach road market to do JAN'S army uniform, he need to get prepared for the SAF parade and down to SSC for a tanning session. the sun i tell you is so good .. SUMMER IS BACK!!!

then back to the beach road market for makan .. yeah .. there are alot of famous food there. namely :

Fried Hokkien Noodle at basement near the staircase

Fried Kway Teow cockles ( NO PORK NO LARD )

Claypot RICE
Mutton Soup Tulang

Beef Noodle

Ah balling Dumplings .. etc etc .. too many to tell

so today we had fried hokkien noodle and Fried Kway teow cockles.

Okay dude, the fried hokkien prawn noodle first. The sight of the long queue and the number of

'da bao' wrappers laid would indicate its a long wait! but its a scam!! lol .. do not be fooled by that. they are just preparing it should there be peak hour rush. lol . clever indeed, i waited for only 10mins for this fried prawn noodle.

The noodle is skillfully fried with yellow noodle and thin beehoon. I must say that the stock is very powerful. It kicks in your mouth! I like the idea of serving belacan chilli and red cut chilli, So chilli lover like me can feel more punch in the meal. In all, this meal bring heaven to your tastebud.. must try!!!

So overall, the food is 4 thumbs out of 5!
The unfortunate part is that the prawn is shelled and small. they might consider using bigger prawn. $3 for this plate is too little for a regular portion .. It whet my tastebud but it do not satisfy my craving, unless i order another plate of $3. lol

Fried Kway Teow Cockles ( No pork No lard )
The amazing thing of this food is that it breaks away from the traditional uses of lard in cooking.

No one can imagine that vegetable oil makes a fried kway teow superb.

The store is brightly lit and full of neon lights and awards. you will never miss it.

frankly, this is the healthiest version of fried cockles kway teow i ever eat. There are lots of green vegetables and top up with freshly fried crispy ikan billis ... whoo .. yummylicious .. they are very generous with their cockles too ...

5 out of 5 thumbs ........... die die die die mati also must crawl out and try !! suitable for all religion

Then we head down for more food, this time at bishan junction 8, after much discussion, we had dessert. Its at the basement. And i believe it is rather famous for its yam cake and dessert

Ordered : Yam cake

Waterchestnut with egg

Gingko Barley

well, my suggestion is to drop the ginko barley, presentation fail and taste fail. it lacks of the taste of barley and the 'tau kee' . the barley stick together due to too much starch.

This is the waterchestnut with egg .. anyway its a cold dessert. the munchy waterchest is nice

And not forgetting the yamcake. Its filled with bitsize yam and accompanied with nice chilli that is fried with dried shrimp and garlic.. a must try. i love the chilli more than the yam cake anymore.

Then rested awhile, head down to my auntie house for more food !!! lol .. lets not talk too much we shall take a peep what are all the food. but for people who do not know.

Lemak Yongtaufoo - a coconut gravy similar to laksa, cooked with loads of yongtaufoo variety. good accompaninet with rice.

Fried Noodle

fried sambal fish

Mixed greens

Mixed fried fingerfood

and dessert - waterchestnut cake and durian waffle

Lastly our favourite - egg tarts and wife biscuit bought by my mum .. thank you mum!! lol

Greeted by sivali, buddha's disciple. he is also known as the 'monk of abundance' it was said that whenever he is around, there is abundance of food and everything.

And ... my auntie being a buddhist, she have this buddha statue since like 40yrs ago. it is still beautifuly kept.. look at the serene look .. i find some shrine clean and really soothing to the soul

okay check out the food .....................all cooked by my auntie maid .. she is a smart 22 yrs old girl .. anyone need a wife ?? lol

and the wii fever .. a good pre makan and post makan workout .. lol

check out my cousin and my auntie .. lol .. they are nimble man .. they can swing and hit and swing and duck .. we indeed have fun with sports game.. its so interesting

and the ever mahjong fever ....

lol .. and its time to celebrate and sing the ever popular every one love birthdaysong!!

and lastly ... me and my familyss .. all my cousins and aunite ..

and lastly .. happy birthday mama!! i love you ..muacks

20th june 08

hello and a wonderful hi !! Gosh, its a thursday and i have decided that i should put the date on the title instead of someother thing. really sick to think of title to put

anyway, decided that i should go catch a movie, but incidentally, my mum also wants me to help her collect tong shui food voucher at keypoint .. so i went and do it ! i think the management of keypoint is good .. the carpark was free!!! lol, though its stated at $2 per hour
but when i was there less than 20mins, and drive past the gantry, its $0.00

hey thanks keypoint carpark management .. its a shock, becoz they didnt indicate that parking less than 20mins is free .. i was so sad initially when i have to pay $2

then i head down to ermz .. u know sultan mosque stretch, there is zam zam and new victory restaurant. i thot of getting some nice murtabak and mee goreng. but i do not remember which was nice the previous time i ate. so i decided to give new victory a go.



it was utterly disgusting. the food is not up to standard.

ordered chicken murtabak and mee goreng


firstly, the chicken murtabak was a failure, it looks like sardine murtabak at the first glance. guess how unprofessional they were, they actually put CHICKEN CURRY inside the murtabak, and they just shred the chicken from the thigh meat. its crazy

i told the person, and he replied, u want chicken murtabak and here is ur chicken murtabak! but hey. its soggy .. why chicken murtabak this way. so ridiclous. never going back there again ..

Although i may be going to an indian muslim restaurant , but hey I EAT LIKE A CHINESE. I DO NOT LIKE MY FOOD THROWN OR SMASHED TOGETHER. ITS FEEDING DOG ! I AM A HUMAN .. DAMN IT!

up next the mee goreng .. nightmare after nightmare ...

hey hey .. is this THE DRY VERSION OF MEE KUAH ? the appearance is nice, but when the noodle is served, i can smell the distinctive yellow noodle flour smell . its damn er xin.
THE NOODLE IS SOAK WET WITH EGG NOT FRY PROPERLY AND THE TASTE OF SOUP AND OIL



and so if you deciding to go to new victory restaurant .. give it a miss

NEW VICTORY RESTAURANT IS A COMPLETE FAILURE. try zam zam instead or casaurina curry.

then went to watch the hulk .. this is an incredible good show

GIVE ME POWER LIKE THE HULK!!! whoooo ... i wanna be MR GREEN .. someone help me plss .. heee



This is a damn nice show .. watch it watch it!!!

then when it was in the evenin, decided to head for a haircut, hair damn long le la
need to cut it short .. lol . reservist coming dude ..

then head down to IMM and decided that it is the best place to be at. where there are lots of things to see and food to eat .. but but .. i decided on FOOD COURT. becoz i have the kopi tiam card .. lol

ordered : yong tau fu soup and teriyaki chicken rice
ok the food is superb .. let the pic do the talking




yong tau fu soup




okay peep .. have a nice friday !
