Big Dad , Poor Kid

Pretty sure I was number 5 in line at the gate .

Then all of a sudden a boy ( I'd say he's around 11 years old ) he nudges me and asks me some question in Mandarin .

Oh man . So , I turn to the steward ( somehow MAS stewards seem to be the hottest just not this airline...boringsss )

and ask him to assist the boy ( because duuuh my Mandarin is par hopeless )

That boy ( whom I wrongly thought was from China due to his size ) he tells him this in Malay .

You made this happen

Dear readers and people who constantly drop by .

You .

Yes you made this happen .

This photo was taken at a newspaper headquarters in the capital city which saw me rubbing shoulders with the who's who , who was in attendance . And I was there because ....well read on .

Ah Soon Kor Har Mee - Carnavon Street

Never have I come across old Japanese men patronising any local Hokkien Mee stall until just now .

The soup though teeming with rich prawn flavour is so much more oilier than other versions of Hokkien Mee on the island , that it looks so wrong  but of course it tastes so darned good lah otherwise why you think the Japanese would eat it , no ? 

Even then , notwithstanding the fact that I am one of his fans , I was still very surprised to see with my own four eyes that Ah Soon Kor has managed to snare at least one foreigner in his apron .

Toxic century eggs , flat salted eggs

How odd .

Just the other day I had the most unsalty , insignificant tasting salted egg at a nasi kandar outlet and today at a lohbak stall ,

the century egg so beautifully segmented and laid before our eyes , has no pungent smell nor flavour associated to it .

 It's flat . Flat as the back of a Chinese cleaver , with no flavour whatsoever. Doesn't smell sharp , sooooo odd .

BreadKing - M Mall

Had my first taste of Bread King's sausage bun and yummy donuts at their E-Gate branch .

At the time , we were hungry yet in such a rush , so we ate one of each on the spot and raved over how divinely soft and scrumptious they were . Following day , we decided to takeaway more items , but by the time we got back , the flavour had sort of changed a little bit . Which was not only disappointing but also caused me to

 think of their products as grossly overpriced unless one managed to get them hot from the oven .

As I can't be staking out their premise all the time , the dining option at M Mall is exactly up my alley .

Nope , I'm not talking about the bakery , rather , it's the existence of an open kitchen that's got me all excited .

Prepared fresh and served piping hot with quality ingredients one would expect to come out of a 5 star hotel instead of a mall bakery , this certainly isn't our first visit .

We're back for the Mushroom Soup Set served with a whole loaf of garlic bread that is still warm by the time it gets to our table , I swear that this is as good as French pumpkin soup .
