Is green leaves all you see? Look again!
Can you spot the avocados? There are so many of it too!
I have always seen this tree, but it was only last week that I know it's an Avocado Tree!
I am so so sua ku. haha...
Anyone wants to guess where this tree was spotted? :-)
Had this a few nites ago, while passing some things that I was asked to buy by someone while holidaying in Bangkok.
I had eaten, and I don't really eat supper, so I only ordered a drink. It's called Milo Dinosaur. I wonder how this drink got its name!
A treat of Milo Dinosaur to those who can guess who I had the drink with. haha..
Other than the wooden bowl rice I posted the other day, you see many people ordering these two dishes too.
Duck Noodles
Hot stone rice.
It looks Korean ya?
This is proving to be quite addictive.
It is fun to put the sachet of who know what into the brown paper bag with fries and shake it out.
Then pour them out on the serving tray and dig in!
Hmmm.. wonder what is the correct fries they should provide. Sometimes, it is so salty, sometimes it is not. Are they suppose to serve shaker fries with unsalted fries or with salted fries?
This is what I ate yesterday, decided to snap it for the fun of it.
Chicken Rice from the chicken rice stall at the canteen where I work.
It might just be the most eaten dish that has gone into me. LOL.
Of course not always chicken wings, sometimes its roast pork, roast chicken, soy chicken (like this one), or 'white' chicken. I always have 'add vegetables' with my chicken rice. $2.40
What's your most eaten dish for lunch?
I had some truffles prepared by Adrian from Sweethut earlier in the evening.
We were waiting for 'someone from the east' to appear before the tasting, so the tuffles were gently melting away. Here's some photos of the truffles.
These chocolate powder coated ones are Kahlua flavoured.
The ones coated with sugar (that has dissolved due to the Singapore heat) are Rum flavoured.
I am a super dark chocolate person, I would love it to be more bitter :-p
Support Adrian, our local entrepreneur who is starting up.

After lunch last week, colleagues and I decided to take refuge in the air-conditioning of Macs Restaurants after lunch.
So, some people ordered the new Jasmine Tea, others the sundae cone, I thought I will try the new promo thingy that's part of the Shrek promo thingy.
Ordered the Zesty Lime Sundae. Looks slimy doesn't it?
It actually taste quite good! The greeny thingy has little cubes of jelly. It's also not too sweet. $1.80 for this sundae.
Hmmm I wonder if the same promo is available all around the world?
Oh no... I hope it's not a birthday cake overdose on this blog.
But this is quite delicious. It's a oreo cheesecake by Crystal Jade My Bread.
You can see we love celebrating birthdays! No matter how old or how young a person, blowing candles always brings joy to their faces. This cake's for a little 8 year old girl. You could just melt when she smiles!
Her mummy bought this cake for her, and we all celebrated with her. Dorcas is her name.
(no more cross section, else Tigerfish will say something again.. haha)
Mini mini oreos right on top!
Do you like people to celebrate birthdays for you?
I know ladies like it too (though they will deny it), we just need to put only 1 candles, or put down candles that total to 16 years old :-)
Some of you are just so clever, can guess it's desserts today. haha..
There are a variety of Peranakan Kueh Kueh. Already so stuffed, so only took these to eat.
You know what they are right? Kaya on it makes it so good... The kaya is on top of a blue cake :-)
You can DIY your ice kachang or cendol, but this is Ice Whatever, what I like only. haha..
Below it is lots of chendol.
Mango Pudding and Jelly. That's carnation milk suppose to be on the mango pudding, but it also covered the jelly. Cute jelly?
It's suppose to be hot cheng tng, but I like cold one, so how?
Go over to the ice kachang counter lah, take the ice shaving from there to mix with the hot cheng tng lor...
It's a birthday remember, so we brought in this cake. Bengawan Solo cake that matches the food here. Pandan Cake.
Here's the cross section of the cake. Since taken, so show you lor...
There's a way to dine for free here. Guess how?
Go through Theological College! Pastors get to eat free here :-)
If you want to cook Penang Food, bump over to Rasa Malaysia's site. This Penang born lady cooks delicious looking food.
I don't know how you start eating at buffets, but most people start with soup. I don't. haha..
After having what I had as shown in yesterday's photos, I started on the more liquid stuff.
This is pork ball soup. It's done so well, I am sure you will go for seconds. or maybe thirds.
Penang food of course will have penang laksa lah... 
Another penang famous food, is cuttle fish (jiu hoo) and kangkong.
Of course must also try the Hay Mee. You like lots of garlic on it? hehe...
This is fruit rojak. By the way, it's DIY. This was not done by me, I just eat and take photos. But it's done so well right?
I did not try everything, so no photos of other food lah. How to finish? Eat too much get fat fat also. haha...
Tomorrow will end this series. Can guess what else?
The other day, it was aunty's birthday, and we were suppose to treat her, but instead they paid for the food!
We went over to Penang Place, where we have not gone for a long time.
It's a Penang Food buffet place. Guess what, we once brought a penang friend over, she told us, no way that Penang food outside penang is edible. haha.. But she said this one can pass her Penang standard.
It's a buffet, so i started with my fav. Satay. 
The rendang looks yummy or not?
Everyone seems to pick a pack of otah, so i also follow lah...
The Char Kuey Teow here die die must try. Usually, during less busy periods, it's cook when you order, but during peak hours, it's mass cooked and place on the buffet trays. We went early, so it was less busy and here's a cook when you order version. 
There are the food that pleases all kids and kids at heart like ayam goreng, i remember sometimes it is ayam goreng kunyit, all the malay salads etc...
More photos tomorrow.
After all the BBQ thingy, the table was cleared and other dishes were served next.
This is kimchi radish and sliced boiled pork. It's a bit chewy. Those who like them chewy would love it. I like the melt in your mouth type.
This is the ginseng chicken. Sam Gye Tang. It's their signature dish, if you realise the name of the place. We had the lady dressed in Korean traditional dress served into smaller bowls for us. I tell you, you would love this soup! Everyone of us did! It has glutinous rice in it, so it's a bit porridgey. 
There's also grilled fish. I forgot the exact name. You realise I am quite forgetful nowdays? haha... Maybe I need to eat more gingko.
Next was Rice topped with assorted vegetables, beef, and egg in a hot stone pot. It is known as Bibimbap. The lady showed us the big stone bowl, but our table's too full, so she served them into smaller bowls for us too.
This is not in the set meal. But aunt wanted to eat the korean pancakes, so we ordered the spring onion and seafood pancake. ( Pa Jeon ) It's sis and aunt's favourite!
So, where did you all go for Father's Day?
On Father's Day, which is yesterday, we went to Crystal Jade Korean Ginseng Chicken BBQ for lunch. It's located at Ngee Ann City.
Instead of thinking what to eat, we thought why not take the set meal? So here's what we ate.
Just like most Korean places, you get all the tiny starter dishes. I love them!
Then for the BBQ meat, you can cook them by yourselves, or opt for the their kitchen to do if for you. Our kid cousin wanted to cook it, so we let her cook for us!
There are 4 plates of meat, I guess I was too lazy nowadays to take so many photos, so here's the 3 that I took.
The marinated beef. I can't remember exactly which it is marinated in, but it's just so so good!
This is the tender beef ribs, the meat around it is sliced longish and then we BBQ it. This is even more delicious!
I remember pork collar, so I guess this must be it. The fat melts after grilling, so the meat taste so tender....
There's also another chicken meat. Not taken here...
Here's one of the batches of the meat being cooked. I only took 1 shot! haha... I guess we were most interested in eating than taking photos.
This is the veg that you can wrap the meat with.
More tomorrow...
It's Father's Day in some parts of the world, and especially Singapore and Malaysia.
Wishing my Daddy a very Happy Father's Day!
Last Thursday, one colleague wanted to restring his badminton racket. So off we went to Alexandra Village Food Centre to have lunch.
We walked around, and not knowing what to eat, we saw a nasi lemak stall, and thought why not? There was not queue, but suddenly, a long queue formed.
Anyway, it was clearing quite fast, and we ordered the nasi lemak. We took the Royal Set. This is how it looks like. The egg was fried on the spot when ordered. The rice is different from the normal rice right? The luncheon meat and sambal is hidden in this picture.
Another colleague offered to buy us drinks. She ordered Avocado Juice. There are two stalls selling the same thing and you can see fierce competition. Both are good. It's your choice which stall you prefer :-)
Have a great weekend!
Today deciding where to eat for lunch, one colleague said: "Chicken Feet". Immediately we know where we are going!
The Dim Sum stall at Kopitiam NUH - Kent Ridge Wing actually has very delicious chicken feet. But take note that 90% of the time it is nice, the other 10%, depends on your luck! Really! We love it most of the time, but there was once, maybe the cook poured too much vinegar in it, it taste so sour!
Actually, today we only ordered 5 steamer trays of it.
To quote colleague who likes it very much. The chicken feet is soft enough, but not soft until 'nuah nuah' in hokkien. It still has a bit of chewiness to it.
There was once we ordered 10 of it. Our lunch gang has 6 persons usually.
Price? $2 per bamboo steamer tray.
To get it cheaper, apply for the Kopitiam NUH Staff Card, you get 20% off! So it's $1.60!
Now, that's cheap and delicious phoenix claws!
Next this was pig stomach soup. Aunty Foo has actually cut them and twisted all of them up. Actually it was the little girl at home that help grandma tie them up. Cute ya!
This is without the soup, so you can see what is being served in each bowl.
Actually, I do not like eating these stuff, but I love the soup. The soup is peppery and hot! Yum yum!
Next was gigantic prawns. Our aunt from London was having dinner with us, she said in London it is very rare to have prawns that are this big. Their big prawns there are like the small prawns we have here.
The last dish is the steam pomfret. Do you know what ingredients here made the soup superb? Next time when you steam fish, add in leeks! Then you can taste the difference.
Hope you enjoyed this and can use them to plan for your coming home cook meals.
Recently, we went to our relative's home in Punggol to have dinner. Here's what we had...
The 'petai' that causes super potent gases. haha...
Minced pork with potatoes. This are the kids favourites.
Aunty Foo's famous curry chicken. I tell you, it's yummy oh....
This is one of the traditional dishes at their home. It's hairy gourd with 'tang hoon' and mushroom. It's very good!
More tomorrow... Remember to come back! haha...
Last Sunday, we had a quick lunch at C-Jade Express at the basement 1 of Wisma Atria.
Since the closure of the tunnel, it seems it is easier to get a place to sit here!
Here's some of the Rice dishes we ordered.
Suffering from memory failure, I can't remembered the names of it. Blame it on jetlag. haha..
The containers looks interesting ya? The food is so so for a quick lunch.
Need to say a word of thanks to MoMo for taking over the posting for the last few days.
Hope you have enjoyed her postings. Maybe I should invite her back for more guest blogging and many others to guest blog too.
Wondering should I post the food photos of other countries here? Maybe I should not, this is suppose to be a Singapura Makan Photo. hehe..
Finally had a chance to step into the newly opened (rather it opened in Dec 2006) Singapore Museum, after a 3-year facelift. Decided to try the cafe there, which was previously known as Wa Cafe. Now it is known as Novus cafe by day and probably Novus Bar by night.
Ordered a Ice Mocha - as it was a 34 degrees sunny day. Nothing to "wa"(dont mind the pun) about. Looks quite ordinary with chocolate sauce at the bottom. But the coffee has "oophm".
Next, served was Roast Beef Sandwich with homebaked Spelt Melt bread. I have not heard of Spelt Melt bread. From what you see, its looks like brown bread with lots of nutritious nuts ;)
When you lift the top piece of bread, you will see lots of beef packed inside! This sandwich includes slices of grilled tomatoes and some leaves of lettuce. Also its spread with horseradish sauce. Very good combination and very delicious.
The meal is finished off with a cake. Not a very unique name, the cake is just called "Dark Chocolate Cake". Soaked in chocolate sauce, this is absolutely melt in the mouth :P
After that if can start your tour of the Singapore Museum. Enjoy.
As promised, here's the main course dishes. It was all in a set and they all taste excellent.
I simply love Korean food. Before the main dishes arrived to the table, they always serve you 4 to 6 dishes of appetisers. And each one taste quite different. This was eaten at Crystal Jade Korean @ Centrepoint.
Started with korean bean sprouts. These don't taste like the ordinary ones, its has more "beannie" taste.
Next came the traditional kimchi. Ooo, this was spicy! But if you love spicy and sour together, this is good.
Following that, green vegetables. Cant remember what's this called, but its a tad oily.
Then came something that tasted like radish.
This is also radish, prepared in another way. This one doesnt taste as spicy as the kim chi.
Lastly, eggplant with capsicum.
Just those 6 appetisers, we were already 1/2 filled. And the main course was not served yet! That comes tomorrow ;)
You can guess from the title that its Thai food today. Had dinner at Patara Thai tonight. What a feast we had! This is the plate that we were served on. Pretty plate eh?
We started with appetiser, which was indeed appetising. Very interesting combination of Norwegian smoked salmon with pomelo salad.
Main course started with honey pork ribs. There is a more glamorous description to this dish, but err, the guest blogger forgot. Its fried with lots of garlic and black peppercorn, oooh so, yummy.
Here's the vegetables dish. For someone who does not eat much brinjal, this is good. The glamorous name: Aubergine stir-fried with shimp paste, chilli and basil.
There was a last dish, but guest blogger was too hungry to take time to shoot it. Thank you to Unagi and Panda for the company.
Tried this baked oyster from Sun and Moon. Cant remember what's called, but its really good. Here's how it looks when its served.
Hey hey hey, the Keropokman also eats fast food ok.. haha...
I saw the advertisement on the newspaper this morning, and I have not had KFC for sometime, so off I went to try try lah. Got new Miso Crunch KFC.
I ordered the set meal. It comes with 2 pieces of chicken.
The first piece... 
The second piece... Err, does it look yummy to you? Haha...
It also comes with a regular ice green tea. 
And also a regular whip potato.
The chicken is really crispy lah. It just came out when I ordered it. So it was not cold chicken. The taste, ok and so so lah. For me, I think original recipe's still my favourite.
The pieces of chicken is quite large though.
$4.95 for the set meal.
If you want Halal Beef Noodles, this is a good place to try. Their soup base is very good, and it also says no MSG.
I usually eat at the one in Clementi Central, but 2 colleagues ate this instead. This is the original stall.
You should try it! I usually order medium size.
This is not the original chendol, but a modified version. Looks like a bald man ya?
The above is from a stall from Seah Im, just beside the stall featured in yesterday's post.
You like chendol? The original version or this kind of modified versions with all sorts of stuff inside? This one had red beans, atap seeds, and whatever else...
The original only has chendol, coconut milk, palm sugar (gula melaka) and ice shavings! It tastes the best if the chendol is top rate.
Few days ago, a colleague was bugging us to go to Seah Im. He wants to have Lor Mee. We resisted for a few days, but we relented after a few days. haha...
Our food guy die die want to eat from this stall. Shi Ji Noodle Stall.
All from the above stall, this is the Duck Noodle.
This is the Lor Mee.
I ate this instead, Tomyam Kuey Teow. It's actually quite nice! Spicy enough and totally shiok!
One thing about Seah Im is that it is super super hot! I think the fans there should not be made to point at humans. The air from the fans are super hot! Sit away from blowing fans! That's a big tip!
Our aunt visited from London. We went to many places to eat. This was our last meal together before she flew back to London.
I think I have posted this before, we went to Lao Beijing at Plaza Singapura.
Beijing style Aubergines / Brinjals.
This is yummy. I think all fried food taste good, if they are not soaked with oil.
This is scallops and seafood fritters. It looks like banana fritters yah?
How it looks, one piece, stack on top of each other.
Sorry, this picture is so blur. This is stir fried lamb with leek. Very good, does not smell of lamb at all!
This I think is beef. Haha.. I forgot!
This is tofu and mushroom. Tofu's nice....
This is something that I think you can only get it here. This is fish maw together with egg whites.
This is the Xiao Long Bao. I think this website has overdose of XLB! haha..
Desserts was Red Bean Jien Ping.
Look at the red bean oozing out...
What's for dinner tonite? Hmmmm
Phew. Today's blogger lets me load without any glitch.
Here goes...
The big huge thick toasts. This is butter and condensed milk.
This is the peanut butter version. Also covered with condensed milk. This is delicious!
We ordered set meals. Some sets come with soup. Cute little bowls.
Not sure what's the name of this, but this is rice dish which colleague said is not bad.
Another 2 colleague ordered baked rice. This is the chicken that is baked on the plate separately from the rice.
3 of us ordered this dish. It's spicy korean noodles. It comes with sausages, ham, 2 portions of the chicken wing, sunny side up egg, 2 slices of pink fish cake. We did not know it would be so big!
This is the side dish we ordered. Baked Cheesy Chicken Wings.
If we knew that we already have chicken wings in our noodles, we would not ordered and had to eat so much! But its delicious, the wings!
We also ordered a few kinds of drinks.
