Early Dinner on East Coast Road
This shop reminds me of places I used to like as a teenager in Penang. Old, unpretentious, run-down but still doing their thing. Rustic tables and worn-out chairs scatter the tiled-floors. Normally I wouldn’t have stopped but I was no. 1 starved and no. 2 intrigued by the ‘decor’.
Their thing is roast meat, especially duck. Generous serving, maybe they were about to close up shop? Think I’ll come back again in the future. That was not bad for a fast and simple meal.

Old Airport Food Centre, part 1 of many
I’ve been coming to this hawker centre semi regularly after my office moved. It’s time to record what I’m eating in this joint, supposedly one of the most famous food court in Singapore. Today, I spent 30 mins waiting for this plate of Kuay Chap from the very famous Blanco Court kuay chap stall. The plate of stewed pork parts came with belly meat, stomach, big intestines and spongy tofu, known in Singapore as tau pok. I can see why this is popular. Most internal organs are sufficiently cleaned and stewed to a soy-infused pleasant flavor. The stomach was a standout. The bellymeat was on the fatty side. Overall, it didn’t disappoint but I might not wait for that long next time.By the way, my dining companion was sitting directly across from me and chewing his tofu from tofu and veggie soup with his mouth open. Thanks grandpa for helping me focus on my food! You just have to love the hawker centres like this, keepin’ it gapo and real.

Paulaner Oktoberfestbier, Brotzeit
Looking for refreshment after an afternoon of walking in Sentosa, this one really hit the spot.

The New Staple
“Location, location, location!”The golden rule of real estate is sometimes evident in our food choice and food bias. We swear by the neighborhood shops we grow up with. If you ask me, the beef noodle around the corner from where I used to live in Taipei is still one of the better ones I’ve had.
Such may be the case with my new spot for lunch. In addition to serving a highly competent bowl of wonton noodles, this place is closest to my new office location. It wins customers in 30 deg celsius, middle of the day weather.

Lost in consumerism
I do not remember when I last walked as much over a 3 day stretch as last weekend. Great city, awesome food. I want to be back again soon.

Phoenix - Napoleon Says
I’m a little late to the Phoenix party. Have been catching up the last couple of days by listening to their discography from beginning to the latest release, which features the infectious track, “1901.” After going through all their songs, I realized that I have actually heard some of their songs before… like Napoleon Says. Can’t quite place it, but I think it was in a commercial or a trailer? Great band.
