stretched noodle...

stretched noodle... Have you heard of it?

How about la mian? Sounds familiar?

And how about hand-stretched la mian? Sounds yummy?

Well, in Tiong Bahru Plaza there's this handmade la mian shop which is an oasis for affordable and good la mian.

Their noodle's have perfect texture for la mian just not enough flavour and character though. I wish they make it little bit more tasty.

But the soup really do complement the noodle well.

Well, go ahead and try. They currently have $5 la mian promotion which I think it's a good offer.

Welcome to planet Earth, Princess Kirana...

The other post can wait but this one shouldn't.

So without further ado, I'd love to welcome baby Kirana Wenxin Lynne Bahls.

Congratulation Tim and Mag, Wish you all the blessing from us. I bet she'll be very beautiful in 20 years.

Sorry, no pics here. But if you want to see the new mom and dad, you can always check out the website HERE.

...

...

I mean, HERE. But just a moment. Aren't they really look alike?

Tall Dad with glasses, black haired hyper-active mom, wonder if the baby grows just like Zoe MacPherson.

Time will tell.

PS: While you're admiring the baby's cuteness, do drop by babyblues.com to see the lighter reality of the new family.

PPS: Just realized that baby Kirana shares her birthday with me. But I think her number's better: 04+04=08. cute isn't it?

PPPS: Without the family name, there are 17 letters altogether in her name. Just like mine. Hahahahah...

Cool Blog!

Stumbled upon Christof's Blog.

I think he's quite cool in his own way. The blog is very honest and straightforward. It's kinda nice to read, really. I rarely heard blogger who in a way straightforward but not blatantly offensive in a way.

Drop by and have a sip of coffee while entertained by the Singapore Complaint Choir. (Although, complaining is not good, but it's more enlightening to hear such things.)

Hey, I'd love to put the vid here but he's got the full lyrics and I think it's worth a visit.

Oh yeah. It's all HERE.

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!
