Simple food that are delicious

I don't need imported cheese or exotic fruits on top, I don't need roasted cha siew or teriyaki chicken in it. Just gimme my simple yet delicious roti bun hot from the oven.


You don't need to go to a posh Korean restaurant to eat authentic Korean food. Sometimes you just need to spend a few dollars at a food court.

What is Mr Cat thinking?

Cats always tend to look like they've got something on their minds. Or were they just staring blankly into the air, since they've got nothing else better to do? Maybe they were thinking "What's for lunch today? Please don't tell me is the same old can food?", or "Which spot should I sleep on today? Maybe we can do outdoor today on that patch of grass?"...

One good bowl of instant noodles

Instant bowl noodles imported from Hong Kong, and a very Hong Kong flavor indeed - Prawn wanton soup!


The dry instant noodles are not like those typical instant noodles. In fact this looks more like dried handmade wanton mee to me!


Water vapour transforming into water droplets on the instant noodles bowl cover.


Though the soup is not genuine wanton noodles soup that is brewed for long hours in real meat, and not a single prawn or wanton is found, the noodles has still made it all worthwhile.

Buses, trucks and more jams

Reflections of buses at a bus interchange.


Row of cars queuing up for the Shell $1 petrol promotion. The queue might looked long, but it took only about 20mins before it was our turn. Everybody just moved on patiently in the queue and it was not chaotic at all!


Another morning jam to go through. Let's roll down the window for some fresh air!


Another road work on the road. Nowadays, whether it is a new estate or old estate, town or suburb, as long as there is a road, there is road work on it.


These gas cylinders are still been used for cooking in those old housing estates.

Iced Kopi-C, Prata and Bak Kut Teh

At the cafe outside the zoo, I saw the most expensive iced kopi-C I've ever seen at more than SGD3! Why? Because it's extra extra grande!


The Cheese Prata Shop is a popular place for university students to go for their prata craves. The Banana and Cheese Prata is pretty tasty, with cuts of sweet ripe bananas and matching cheesy texture. On the other hand, the Mushroom Prata is kinda like plain prata with can mushroom slices slotted into it. Tasted plain, dry and tasteless.


Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh is a popular supper spot and their famous Bak kut teh is no joke! Their peppery white soup (refillable!) and tender ribs are to die for! Besides the soup, side dishes are important as well, and their salted vegetables and braised bean curds are tasty but not too salty at the same time. What are those big pots at the back? The side dishes of course!


The Cheese Prata Shop sells all kinds of pratas but I still prefer the old school egg prata.

Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh serves good Bak Kut Teh but be prepared to pay. A meal for 3 consisting of 3 bowls of ribs and rice, 1 plate of salted vegetable and 1 plate of braised bean curds will set you back with about SGD27.
