Paranoid of her male colleagues

There is a case of a senior stewardess (don't want to mention her rank) who is going around accusing some of her male colleagues of molesting her. She had asked the company to look into the matter.
  • The first case was that of a steward who commented that she still looked good even after flying for some years.
  • The second case was a steward who lightly touched her on the back of her shoulder to inform her that there was "special meal" in the oven to be given to a special need passenger. She was agitated and complained the steward molested her.
  • Another 2 cases were that of her supervisor and a ground staff whom she accused of outraging her modesty when they accidentally touched her.
The company has investigated and found the complaints were frivolous. Thinking she was not mentally stable, it was suggested she goes for counselling. She refused and said she would resign soon.

Breakfast@ Delifrance,afternnon tea@ Coffee Bean





The breakfast from Delifrance was delectable but the 2 pieces of cakes from Coffee Bean were dry and of inferior quality. They were the salted caramel cake($6.50) and the banana cake ($4.50).
I will not recommend anyone having the cakes from Coffee Bean.

A brand new coffee shop at Sengkang







This is a new coffee shop which opened its doors to diners on 12/7/16. There are 5 to 7 food stalls selling drinks,economy rice, roasted meat and noddles, zhi char, satay and bbq chicken wings. There are 2 or 3 empty stalls left for rental. Besides the coffee shop, there is a Sheng Shiong supermart, a medical clinic and a dental clinic. At the moment vehicle parking is not free-of-charge on Sunday or public holidays. The place is at Fernvale's LRT Kupang station or block 473.



We had our porridge brunch at 473. It was our first time there. The porridge was served hot as well as the fish in spicy sauce. We ordered a plate of sambal long beans and a plate of fried tofu skin. All in all the food was quite good and relatively cheap ($8.50)

Saved by the bell



Lunch & McCafe cheese cake set



For the afternoon tea, we headed to the nearby McDonald's to have our cheese cake and cappuccino. We have not visited the McDonald's for months but frankly we did not miss the place. Reasons for not visiting are mainly due to the overwhelming crowd and the rowdiness of the kids. 


Home prepared lunch


We are trying to include more fish than meat in our diet. Reasons are obvious and were stated in my earlier post. The above are:

  • Grilled salmon
  • Kailan (vegtables)
  • Miso soup
  • Japanese rice.

Lunch @ Sushi Express & Chinese dinner






We should eat more fish, in particular salmon which is excellent for the overall health. That's the main reason I like to eat salmon sashimi and salmon sushi. There are at least 8 good reasons why we should include more salmon in our diet.

  1. Whole body wellness
  2. Bone & joints
  3. Brain and neurological repairs
  4. Focus & memory in children
  5. Heart health
  6. Eye sight
  7. Healthy skin
  8. Salmon Omega-3's kill cancer

Dinner@ Greenwich V Kopitiam





This is the best place to dine on a Saturday night because it's not crowded. I am talking about Greenwich Village at Seletar Hills. We ordered spaghetti x 2 and a plate of cheese fries which cost $15.39.
The food is not fantastic but bearable.
Yesterday, my wife and I had something similar at Pizza Hut and it cost us almost $30! ....but undeniably better. 

Lunch@ home




Being a Saturday, we are quite sure the eateries and malls would be jam-packed with people. Therefore, my wife decided to cook our lunch and have them at home.
This simple but nutritious meal is made up of Japanese white rice, goyza, sambal kangkong and fried eggs/onions.

Worst satay in Sengkang Square, Singapore






Tonight we had the worst satay ever. It was a stall at Sengkang Square. The satay meat were tough especially the mutton. Besides, the prices were not displayed. From the receipts, you find that the chicken/pork satay is 65 cents each, the mutton was 75 cents each and the ketupat (rice) was 60 cents each. In all, we had 10 sticks of chicken/pork, 5 sticks of mutton and 2 rice. Total was $11.45 and since I used the Kopitiam card for payment I had a 10% discount of $1.15c.
Not only was the meat tough but the rice was not well cooked.
I would NOT recommend anyone to have satay from this stall.
A few meters away, there is also a Malay stall selling the same things
(satay and bbq chicken wings) but we have not eaten from that stall yet.

BT: Satay normally cost from 40c to 60c per stick the hawker center. However, at the satay club where we have many tourists, the price is 70 cent per stick.

Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore robbed

Can't believe that a bank in Singapore was robbed by a man of S$30,000 yesterday morning. According to report, the man, a Caucasian who was wearing a hood at the time slipped a note demanding the bank teller for the money. Fearing they would be harmed, the bank employees passed the stacks of notes to the robber. He then fled on foot. The bank was the Standard Chartered at Holland Village.
The last attempted bank robbery in Singapore happened back in 2008. It was a UOB bank at City Plaza. The robber claimed he had a bomb in his paper back and demanded the bank teller passed him the money.The robber was immediately arrested.

Dinner@ Sengkang Square Kopitiam





Had our dinner at Sengkang Square Kopitiam this evening. The tim sum was highly recommended by a fellow blogger which turned out to be really nice. The pad thai was cheap and good, comparable to those sold at Golden Mile. In fact, the pad thai chef was a Thai lady. A plate like the one above is $3.60 ($4 - 10% if use Kopitiam card).
If you are driving there, the carpark accepts only Kopitiam card, so be sure to buy a Kopitiam card if did not own one.
The place is situated next to the Sengkang bus interchange and the Sengkang MRT station.

Last night dinner was char siew and siew yok plus a bowl of dumpling soup ($14) at Chong Pang coffee shop 100 . The standard was just average.We visit CP mainly because of the varieties of fruits which we can't get elsewhere. There are many stalls selling them at competitive prices and besides, the fruits are fresh and sweet.
