Bakut teh @ AMK Ave 10

 

Ironically, it was an Indian friend who recommended me this typical Chinese dish. The place is Block 452 (Chong Boon Market), Ang Mo Kio Ave 10. The place is very crowded during meal periods. Visit it during off-peak hours.

The pork knuckle and bakut teh is worth eating. It is better than the ones at Song Fa and so much cheaper. We walked 1.5 km to eat the above.

Some SG doctors can't even do a simple job like withdrawing blood

 3 years ago, I went to Changi Hospital for cataract ops & this was what a doctor did to me when withdrawing blood from my hand↓

Recently, I went to Sengkang Hospital and this was what happened when a doctor withdrew blood from my arm ↓

Memories of CNY ang pows and goodies

 

The CNY goodies always brings back fond memories of my childhood days. The above goodies was a gift from our Residents' Committee to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

For many years, I have not eaten any of the CNY goodies as they are usually high in calories and unhealthy.

I vividly remember my mother, aunty and my grandma making and baking the CNY goodies days before the Lunar New Year. As a child, I love the CNY as I would have lots of nice goodies and food to eat plus ang pows to collect from my relatives. Each ang pow or red packet would contain less than 30 cents but the amount was good enough for a small boy. Collectively, I would have about $2 for each CNY.

CNY lunch @ home

 

Lunch @ 5 by Sans Facon French Restaurant

 

The meal was average. The beef steak ($29) was a little tough. The cheese cake was not worth the $9 paid. The lamb shank ($29) lacked the lamb taste and the Salad Burrata ($19) was so so.

The service was good and the ambience nice.

CNY goodies for senior citizens

 

Our residents' committee has generously distributed the above Chinese New Year goodies to all senior citizens. There was also an ang pow containing a $10 note.

This is my first time getting the goodies as most time I was not in SG during the CNY season.

Our MP is none other than Mr Lee Hsien Loong, our Prime Minister.

Many thanks to the committee and our beloved PM!

Are Singaporeans able to do this?

 

These are foreign workers. Besides the construction of HDB flats, MRT lines etc they can also paint tall buildings like the one above. The jobs come with big risks like falling off the gondola etc.

We need these workers because we don't have the expertise or guts to do the job like the above. Yet, these workers are paid less than S$1,000 per month.
