I am back

I took a month hiatus from blogging here as I was busy helping my ex colleagues in the SIA union election. Now that it is over, I am back here blogging again.
Will see what is in store tomorrow and will blog about it.

Chinese food is expensive in Sydney, Australia

A friend of mine sent me the above photos from Sydney. He and his family of 4 spent S$120 on their dinner which he complained that it was expensive. I agreed with him but the prices in SG would be about the same too.

Hwa Heng Beef Noodle@ Boon Keng

The place is outside Boon Keng MRT Station (at the hawker center). The queue was very long and it took me almost 40 minutes to get the beef noodles (maybe it was during the lunch hour). The ones above cost $6 per bowl and they are tasty and cheap. The stall is closed on Monday and Tuesday and the operating hours are from 10 am till 2.30 pm. Go there before the lunch period and you probably queue for about 15 minutes.

Hai Di Lao Hot Pot

We had a family dinner (6 of us) at Hai Di Lao. The food and service is quite good but rather pricey. The sauces for the "steam boat" cost an extra $4 per head for one type of sauce. We abstained from ordering the sauce.
The bill came to about $240 ($40 per person).

Eating spree (hawker food) since returning from Japan

There are more dishes which I've eaten and which I did not snap pictures. I missed some these food since living in Japan. I hope to have more of my favourite hawker food before returning to Japan.

Rabbit fish

Got the Rabbit fish from a supermarket and pressure cooked it for almost an hour. Before cooking it, we added some water, salt and a bit of wine. The meat was fluffy and tasty. The bones were soft and needed little chewing. There you are...calcium, collagen and all the goodness.

What a shame!

I was at the block of HDB flats and can't help but snapped some pictures (above) of the void deck table & chairs installed by HDB for the residents' leisure.
The reason I took the picture is because some irresponsible people ripped opened the plastic lining of the table and stuffed a cigarette bud in it. I really don't understand why do people behaved in such an uncivilised manner.
My suggestion to the HDB is to review the cctv and catch the culprit or culprits.
