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.

鼎泰丰 蛋炒饭

鼎泰丰，一向来出名的是小笼包及拉面，但是他的炒饭也是挺好吃的。在一个同事的介绍下，尝了虾仁炒饭。虾仁倒还没有什么，但这蛋炒饭却出乎意料的好吃。

想了一想，这关键在于他的饭。炒饭若想好吃，这饭很重要。一定要用隔夜饭，那饭才会够硬，没有这么多的水分。除了这一点，他们应该选用的是台湾米。看那米身略圆，带点黏性，与我们一般吃的泰国米不同。入口带点香Q的感觉，这确实是关键。


师傅把蛋炒得与饭融合在一起，加上青葱，就算只点蛋炒饭，味道还是一样的好。打包回家还可以省下服务费，以将近七元享用着蛋炒饭，绝对物有所值。
