Soya sauce chicken and mushrooms for dinner

I gave my wife a break from cooking and so I myself is in charge of cooking for the last few days. My cooking may not be as good as my wife's but it's not that bad. I like cooking and it's therapeutic .
The above black soya sauce chicken was cooked by me. Somehow, I loved it and I can't get as  good a taste as mine somewhere else.

Cooked soya sauce pork for lunch. Tasted good. Reason I like to eat at home is because the food is delicious and I do not put on weight as compared to hawkers' food.

A member of the cabin crew has been apprehended for allegedly trying to smuggle 1 KG of gold into New Dehli. Anyone who does not declare the gold on him/her on arrival to the custom authorities will be deemed to smuggle into India. According to my source, the crew in question is an IFM (Inflight Manager). He is now being detained and interrogated by the Indian authorities.

Update on 24/1/18 

This is the second time the IFM smuggled gold into India according to the Indian authorities.
He was to pass the slightly more than 1 kg of gold chain and bracelet to an agent in Delhi.
His commission was S$500 for each occasion.

Forget about this nasi lemak lah

I came across this nasi lemak stall at the basement of Compass One which claimed it was the original Adam Road nasi lemak. I had the cheapest one from the menu, Kuning Fish Set at $4.90 and it was just ordinary which is about the same standard to those being sold at the hawker center and kopi shops (usually at $2.50). What pissed me off was that the curtlery and plate were made of plastic. How to eat the fried fish with plastic cutlery?

Roasted meat rice and Sichuan vegetable soup

Today(Saturday)I went to Serangoon Ave 4, Blk 214 # 1-88,SG 550214 to try the famous Kim Heng roasted meat. It was 12:30pm and there was a long queue. It took me about 15 minutes before I had my roasted duck and roasted pork rice plus a small bowl of Sichuan and pork vegetable soup.
The duck was quite good and moist whereas the roasted pork was crispy and a bit fat. The soup was good and worth ordering. The roasted meat rice was $5.50 and the soup was $2.50.

People took 4 hours in the queue to watch this fabulous display by Disneyland Shanghai.
