Satay Bee Hoon at Singapore Expo

This is an unexpected find, right at the Singapore Expo food court. I was hungry and wanted to find something to eat inside the food court. After I entered the door, I saw few aunties eating the Satay Bee Hoon, it looks good. I was a little bit curious.

The stall mainly sells noodles, from bak cho mee, to beef noodle and satay bee hoon. Beside that, there is one newspaper article on the wall. I guess it must have some standard and decided to order the satay bee hoon. The price is on the high side, maybe because of the low human traffic in Expo.

The lady took a while to cook my bee hoon. I seldom eat satay bee hoon. If not the aunties, I won't order one. But the taste is good.

Satay bee hoon covered with thick peanut sauce. It comes with the kang kong, pork meat, pig liver, cuttle fish, tau geh, tau kua and cockle. I really like the taste. Everything seems to mix perfectly. The meat, liver, cuttle fish and cockle is cooked just nice. The kang kong and tau geh is cruncy enough. Together with the thick peanut sauce, I guess this is really a tasty treat.

Michael Owen move to Man United make sense

The shocking football news of the weekend has to be Michael Owen moving to Manchester United. Because of the rivalry between the two clubs. The fans would have hard feeling that the previous idol has moved to the rival club.

But Owen as a professional and out of contract, the decision is not hard to make. When you are out and nobody wants you, you would bounce on every single chance, especially the big club like Man U. Therefore, he has became a Man U player!

All the best to him and next season would be an interesting one.

Pasta de Waraku at Changi Airport Terminal 2

Waraku is a new Japanese food brand rising fast in this two years. Today this is the first time, I step into the shop at Changi Terminal 2. The aim is to try out the squid ink pasta (seppia nero) and also to test the food quality.

Generally, the food is not expensive. I ordered a pasta set which consist of pasta, curry rice, corn soup and salad for 15.80.


Japan style corn soup. This is first time I am having corn soup, surprisingly good with cruncy corn.


Small portion of salad. Taste nice.


Curry rice with prawn, scallop and green pea. As a standalone dish, the curry flavour complement the seafood well. The portion is small, as it comes with the pasta set.


Ikasumi pasta or squid ink pasta or seppia nero. On the menu, this is Japanese crab with black ink sauce. What attract me is really the colour of squid ink and how it can stain the teeth and mouth. The sauce itself is just average, maybe since this is the first time I eat this, no benchmark can be established. The pasta is alright and springy. But it is quite tough to find the crab meat that is supposed to be inside. Try it if you never have it before. If got chance, I would try to search for better taste version.

Overall, the food quality is good, portion is big and price is not that expensive. Worth your visit.

Second transformer movie

Friday morning, while I was watching the Channel News Asia, the reviewer gave Transformer one pop corn rating. Have been stressed out for a whole day, I went to watch Transformer. The cinema is packed with people, wanting to catch the second episode.

The movie last almost 2 and half hour. To me, at least it worth two pop corn. Some part of the story is not so logical, although it is supposed to be a science friction. How can robot disguise as human? How can human be revived by transformer?

The story is weak, but packed action. Anyway, people go into cinema watching the robots. So, story might not matter most, after all.

Philipino cuisine

Just now, watched the channel 8 travel program, the episode was about Philippine and the food. This dish is called Bicol Express. Sounds interesting. This is how it is cooked.

1. Fry the pork inside pan without oil
2. Put in the mashed garlic, ginger and black pepper to fry together
3. After that, pour the coconut milk
4. Next is to put the fresh small shrimp
5. Throw the cut red and green chili inside for the last step

Without eating it, I already know it should be very good. The pork is with a bit of fat, so the lard taste would come out. Together with garlic, ginger, black pepper, coconut milk and shrimp. Each of the ingredient would add some its own unique flavour to the dish. The final taste should be quite heavenly.

The dish would look like this:



In Philippine cooking, they like to use pork. Lots of pork. There is a Filipino cuisine stall at Tampines Mall food court. Every time I passed by, there are many pork dished on display. According to Filipino colleague, the cooking is authentic.

I had meal there three times, the taste is very good. We can find influence from Malay and Chinese cuisine. They also like to use coconut milk. To me, it is like eating Chinese dish with ingredient like coconut milk. But if you happen to drop by, try it out.

HTC Magic launched and 18 android phone scheduled for this year

After the first iPhone, we know the mobile phone industry was never the same again. Sadly, the change is happened slowly than expected. As HTC launched the second Android in Singapore for all three carriers - Magic, consumer has more choices now.

The so called smartphone space is getting so much crowded now, with Palm Pre launched in US also. I am quite excited because 18 android phone is scheduled for this year. Excited in the sense that consumer has more choices and no need to pay the sky high price.

Waiting for the upcoming Android phone and more price slashed, before changing my current one.
