Foodie for Thought.

Today, I had lunch with Yogi at a food joint at North Bridge Road, just opposite the National Library. The place is called Food For Thought. It'll be easy to miss it if you walk from the direction of Bugis towards City Hall, as the facade of the shop is tilted at and angle.

We decided to check out the place after as Yogi's friend had recommended. The place is small and cosy, with about 25-30 seats. That's me with my back facing the door.

And Yogi with her back facing the inside of the joint (she happened to be in pink too hah hah). Yes, that is really how small the place is. Hee hee.

But I like the fact that it was kinda quiet for a Saturday afternoon, no irritating noisy crowd. :p Probably, the place would be packed during weekdays lunch hour?

The place was artistically decorated with some nice pictures and posters.

There was no menu, the food and drinks available were all listed on the chalk board (I am guessing either they change the dishes or the prices periodically, so no point printing out menu!). And you make your order and payment at the counter. No GST and no service charge. You can get yourself some ice water at the counter too. Afterward, you can sit around and talk for as long as you want. Lol.

I ordered the Juicy Roasted Leg Set. Its chicken, comes with choice of soup. S$16.90.

The roasted leg was too much for me to handle, as the portion was probably enough for two? Hee hee. It wasn't fantastic but wasn't too bad at all.

Yogi ordered the Teriyaki Duck Pasta, S$15.90. Well, she liked it! I find the sauce a lil' too sweet for my liking. It did not come with soup, but you can add to your order.

Finally, the most delicious of all gotta be the dessert, Sticky Date Pudding.

It is muffin + ice cream. Looked really ordinary, but tasted wonderful. The warm muffin mixed well with the ice cream. The more I tried, the more I liked it.

A quick search on the net and I found their website. Apparently they had been around for quite a while. I'll probably be going back to try some other dishes, you may wanna try too. :)

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
