Merry meals

On December 27, 2006 · 7 Comments · In Eating

There’s noth­ing like home-cooked Christ­mas meals, which usu­ally (for us, lah) com­prise of one or two things we’ve never cooked before, which causes great con­cern among the family-folk, who know that I don’t exactly eat healthily.

There was a woman in her for­ties strolling through the hordes at Takashimaya the other day, singing out loudly, “All I want for Creamer is my two fron­tee, my two fron­tee, my two fron­tee”. Aun­tie, we hope you get your two fron­tee and more.

It’s time for […]

Yes, this is ‘the other stuff’ I’ve been busy with the past month, help­ing write a stage show for Hos­san Leong, who is Singapore’s fun­ni­est man, and I’m not say­ing that because he’s my best friend, but he’s really really funny, because he can make peo­ple laugh by repeat­ing the […]

There’s an idea I got from a few other peo­ple the past cou­ple of days.

A wed­ding we recently attended (and a beau­ti­ful one at that, con­grat­u­la­tions, D&N) did away with wed­ding favours, the money which would have spent on them hav­ing been donated to UNIFEM. And a friend who attended […]

Vaguely appetizing

Because of work com­mit­ments, we’ve been eat­ing out a lot, and we haven’t had much luck with the qual­ity of food either.

Being a lit­tle adven­tur­ous, we decided yes­ter­day evening to drive all the way, 45 min­utes and 30 km, in the evening jam, to Changi Vil­lage to dine at Charlie’s […]

Accord­ing to a friend, there’s a shop in Lucky Plaza which has its busi­ness model a bit screwy.

Because the remote con­trol was too far away, Naomi and I found our­selves watch­ing the semi-final of the women’s table-tennis com­pe­ti­tion at the Asian Games on Chan­nel 5, played between Sin­ga­pore and North Korea.

It made for pretty good view­ing, and we became mind­lessly engrossed in the first match until […]

If you hap­pen to be in Hol­land Vil­lage and because you can’t decide what to eat, and stroll in to this Japan­ese Restau­rant called Raku, please, walk out again unless money and qual­ity of food is no mat­ter to you.

I’m not say­ing that the ser­vice was bad or any­thing like that. […]
