Cheap Movies in Singapore

Singapore movie tickets is going upwards. The ticket price rose even faster than inflation.

As for me, I keep enjoying cheap and even free movie tickets.

That's all thanks to UOB NOW debit card which giving me free tickets every Monday and $6 tickets for every weekday. Heck, even students' price of $6 is only for Monday to Friday before 6PM. But with this card, I can enjoy $6 movie tickets Mon to Fri all day! (Except Friday night, d'uh)

Anyway click here to see what they offer and enjoy the same privilege as I do.

NOTE: I'm not affiliated with UOB or paid to write this post. (which i regret so) Anyway I'm writing this cause I enjoy the $6 movie tickets and I think this is a great offer you shouldn't miss.

And oh, UOB NOW also double functioned as EZ-Link. Word of caution however, UOB NOW does not have NETS function. Although it can be used in normal ATM but it won't work for NETS purchase.

List of Water Cooler in Singapore

Hate tap water but don't want to buy bottled water? For environment sake or for your pocket's sake, you might want to get armed with list of where you can get free ice water along the street without hurting your pride.

So without further ado, here goes.

1. National Library, basement one, in front of toilet. And almost all floor except floor 1.
2. Airport. T1 to T3. spread all over
3. Singapore Visitor Centre, Orchard Rd. Just go inside.
4. Most churches in Singapore have water fountains. True Way Presbyterian, near Queenstown MRT, first floor. Extensive list will be put here when I get to hear from readers or confirms the existence myself.
5. Most schools have water fountains as well. So I won't mention too much on it.
6. Starhub shop and carrefour [plaza singapura] have water dispenser, sponsored by ice mountain. Just go inside.
7. Raffles City Shopping Center. Level 2. Near Swiss cafe. [close to okaidi/obaibi childrenwear]

Some places I've known need to be reconfirmed. so sad that IKEA Alexandra removes their water cooler. Last time I know there's a water cooler on 3rd floor of Jurong Point, near baby's room behind the Kopitiam. Can anyone confirm it's still there?

As the list still very small, I do need help from readers who knows such places with water cooler. A photographic evidence will be much appreciated. At least we can help those who are tap-water-phobic to get free hydration on the road. Please help if you know any in the major malls or even Orchard Road stretch.

Do write in comments for any input or suggestions. I will update this post from time to time.

Roast Duck Rice...

Apparently there are two kinds of duck rice in Singapore.

Roast Duck Rice and Braised Duck rice.

The way to differentiate both is very easy. Just look at the sign! So obvious huh? But if you can't read the sign, it's still very easy. Braised duck skin would be slightly wet look and light brown. While roast duck skin would seemed oily and from the look of it, crispy.

For me, I prefer the roast duck with crispy skin. A little warning though: Duck contains high level of cholesterol. It's nice. But do have it with thought to spare. Or if you insist on having a lot of duck rice, I can sell you a nice and cheap critical illness policy.



The avocado Juice however, is not the one you can find in some Indonesian restaurant here. It's kinda mixed with milk and tastes like avocado ice cream. And I can't even taste the avocado. But the shopkeeper is a very kind tomboy who calls everyone 'brother'. Need to give my thumbs up for the good service.

Anyway it's somewhere in Alexandra Village. Get a catch there. It's great. Just writing this I already dreamed of the crispy skin again... sigh.

Indonesian Grilled Chicken!!

The secrets of indonesian grilled chicken are...

The Soy sauce and the chili. But these ingredient are the complement. The true taste however, would require skill and technique that would create a great blend of flavor inside the chicken.

And harmonious medley of spices is the one that really create the "delicious" flavor from the simple meal.



Thanks to our guest star Hendra and Mrs. Ramli, (uhuyyy, Mrs. liao!) Their affirmation about the chili sauce simply remove any doubt about it. If you like it spicy and hot, here's the place.

Ayam Bakar Ojolali is located in Lucky Plaza, Singapore. 3rd Floor

One of the best ayam panggang you can get in town!

Chee... Cheong ... Fun!

For those who don't know what the title is, it's hokkien for "Ready... Get set... Go!"

Haha, no, seriously. Chee Cheong Fun is basically rice rolls. Sometimes filled with prawn or char siew (roast pork) and eaten with soy sauce. Let's call it CCF from now on.

I don't know what happen but when I paused the movie, my lips and the voice is no longer synch.

Can anyone help me how to fix this? Else I'll be look like badly dubbed Japanese guy.



Anyway it really is the best CCF I've ever had in my life! Seriously! If you ever been in Singapore and want to have a try, gimme a call. We'll go there together!

Yong Tau Foo

The movie was cut... arrrghhh... What did I pressed?

Okay, if you watch until the end, I was saying "The shop was located in the corner of - Alexandra Village, obviously"

Anyway I love it there simply because they fry the tofu. The tofu skin was crispy and the fishcake was awesome.

Combined with the sauce. Irresistible!

International Meatless Day

I'm not sure whether it's actually recognized internationally but it seemed that this Thursday, March 20 is the international meatless day and the best thing is: the Vegetarian food near my place is giving away free lunch.

Being an excellent receiver, I tried the lunch. It was great. One of the best curry I've ever taste. I should com there more often.

Mmmm, pastaaaa....

I love pasta. Especially Aglio Olio.

It's so nice, simple, tasty and healthy.

Here's one of my fave in Achorpoint.



It's not bad. I just prefer my aglio olio in form of linguini instead of spaghetti. But oh well... It's still enjoyable.
