If you are a Dim Sum lover, this Steamed Spare Ribs in Black Bean Paste (豉汁蒸排骨) would be no stranger to you. We would definitely order a steamer of this whenever we have Dim Sum. If we cook this at home, we love to drench the sauce over white rice and the plate would be polished so clean that we could see our reflection in it! Do not steam the Spare Ribs for too long or the meat would 'toughen' and depending on the saltiness of your Black Bean Paste, adjust accordingly how much to put in. Just experiment abit to get the taste you prefer! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |
Mum and I loved both Taro and Sago so I thought I would make us this dessert! To be honest, I did not follow the recipe exactly. I first divided the Taro into three equal parts. I cubed 2/3 of it, then steamed it for approximately 20 minutes together with the remaining 1/3. After the steaming was done, I mashed the 1/3 with the back of a wooden spatula as I wanted a more creamy dessert. The water and Coconut Milk were brought to a boil and I added in the cubed and smashed Taro while preparing to cook the Sago in a separate pot of water. While waiting for the Sago to be cooked, I realised that the cubed Taro keeps sticking to the bottom of the pot so I have to keep stirring it. In the end, the cubed Taro was way too overcooked and most of it has disintegrated due to the constant stirring. Therefore, my advice is to cook the Sago first before putting the steamed Taro AND cooked Sago into the Coconut Milk at the same time. My dessert still taste fine only that it is way too creamy! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |

Capricorn Caves
Just a recap from Part I, we were chilling at Zarraffa's Coffee using their wifi while waiting for the coach to bring us to the Capricorn Caves.
I was actually disappointed to know that we are going to a cave and not to Keppel Island. I mean, what is there to see inside a cave, right?
How wrong was I!
As I found out later, Capricorn Caves is an ancient geological landscape formed from underwater coral beds over 360 million years ago.
A young cement mixer was working by the staircase landing when an old man appeared and insinuated for a blow job.
After being turned down, the old man offered to service the young man instead. When that was rejected as well, he offered to pay the young man for his services.
Despite the young man's repeat rejection that he is not that kind of person, the old man persisted and suggested that they do it on the staircase landing. He even invited the young man to his house.
What will the conversation lead to?
Watch the video below.
How often have you encountered people asking you the obvious? Well, I get that all the time!
Sometimes, it can be funny yet at times, it could be downright baffling!
I guess asking the obvious is how some people break the ice when they have nothing else to start a conversation with?
What do you think?
For most parents, I guess one of the most challenging task faced while raising a child has got to be during feeding times.
The child would be running all over the place and the poor parents would be trailing behind trying to get him/her to eat another spoonful.
However, parents now no longer have to be tormented by this problem.
Here's introducing a way how you could feed your child effortlessly!
Do give this unique way of feeding a try to see if the little tyke would comply?
Remember to share this method with your friends and leave me a message if you are successful!
Walao eh!
It is a term so familiar with Singaporeans and Malaysians alike.
This expression is so versatile that you can use it in almost any occasion!
Just under what circumstances will you say "Walau eh"?

4am at Farnborough Beach
Just before going to sleep, I set the alarm at 4am so I could wake up in time to catch the sunrise at Farnborough Beach.
I only had a few hours of shut eye as I was watching Top Gear on TV in my room with another friend who did not go drinking at the town with the rest of our friends.
As the resort was just right next to the beach, the seabreeze was howling throughout the night. It is kind of scary hearing that outside your balcony as we hardly encounter such wind speeds in Singapore.
The sky was still dark and very chilly as I made my way to the beach.

The Hong Kong Egglet is essentially a kind of egg waffles which has been a very popular Hong Kong street snack since the 1950s.
The batter of egg, sugar and flour are poured into a special honeycomb-shaped waffle maker and then toasted to a golden hue similar to that of an eggshell.
Because of the unique depressions on the lids of the waffle maker, the finished waffle resembled a cluster of eggs hence, it is also known as the 鸡蛋仔 (loosely translated as Little Eggs, or Gai Daan Zai in Cantonese).

We had an early Father's Day celebration dinner over at Siam Kitchen's Lot One outlet two nights ago.
The fragrance of Lemongrass greeted our noses the moment we walked into the restaurant and it instantly reminded me of a... foot massage palour! Haha!
The ambience is quite pleasant and I am attracted to those large window panes.
Although the restaurant is not very spacious, I do not feel very cram in there. Or maybe it's because we were early (about 6pm)?
Today's main ingredient is a little prickly. I did not know that the Cactus could be eaten, much less turned into a soup, and a nutritious one at that. I was at my sister's place the other day when she asked me to stay for dinner as she is making this soup. My jaw dropped when I heard that. Never before in my life have I ever heard of "Cactus Soup". I did not stay for dinner that day although it did pique my curiousity for the next few days. Thus, when I saw Cactus pads for sale at the supermarket this morning, I decided to buy a piece home to try it out. Cactus Soup is really fuss-free and easy to make but most of all, it is very affordable and nutritious. Did you know that the Cactus contain beta carotene, iron, some B vitamins and are good sources of both vitamin C and calcium? Here are more benefits of the Catcus: - Reduces swelling - Expels heatiness - Strengthens immunity I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |

For the first time, the Army Open House (AOH) was held outside military grounds at the F1 Pit beside the Singapore Flyer.
This is in tune with the Army's effort to engage the public and showcase NS45 and the capabilities of our 3G Army.
This animation reminds me of the bizzare case in Canada where Vince Weiguang Li, a Chinese immigrant beheaded and cannibalized a Canadian bus passenger in front of other horrified travelers four years ago.
Li, 43, had repeatedly stabbed his victim, who had been asleep on the seat next to him. He cut off the victim's head, removed his internal organs, pocketed his nose, tongue and an ear, and taunted police and bystanders with the severed head.
Li said he was acting on "the voice of God" to kill his victim, whom he believed to be an alien for if he did not do so, he (victim) would kill everyone else.
He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia and was found not guilty of murdering 22 year old Tim McLean on a Canadian Greyhound bus on July 30, 2008.

For the clueless, Ah Tai used to be the head-chef of Tian Tian who got fired over a dispute.
It was reported that Ah Tai did not manage his workers well and he shouted/threatened them to the point that they felt unsafe at work.
Ah Tai was aggrieved by the accusations. He is further disheartened by the fact that his twenty years of service to Tian Tian went unappreciated.
But that is not the end of the story yet.

Singtel announced that subscribers to MIO TV's online package were not affected [link].

This "frozen" screen problem is affecting ALL the channels on MIO TV. I am not a subscriber of the sports channel yet, I have been plagued by the same problem ever since subscribing to some of their movie channels.

Penang Place Restaurant
With Mother's Day just round the corner, big brother brought us to Penang Place Restaurant for it's buffet dinner as part of our early celebration.
The restaurant seemed spacious enough but strangely, the tables were all squeezed to one side which I find too cramp for comfort as I have to make detours just to get to the food.
The waiting staff were attentive initially but as diners began filling up the place, their responsiveness began to wane.

Happy Vesak Day!

It is the annual Vesak Day today.
Also known as the Buddha's birthday, it encompasses the birth, enlightenment Nirvana, and passing (Parinirvana) of Gautama Buddha.
Buddhists all over the world celebrated this holy day by paying homage to the Buddha.
We do this by not taking lives (eating meat of any kind is prohibited), participated in the ritual of bathing the Buddha, singing hymns in praise of the holy triple gem followed by the candlelit procession.
I visited the Singapore Buddhist Youth Mission at Clementi with my parents just like previous years.
We first went to bathe the Buddha as usual.
In this post today, I am going to share with you this creepy short film by Rodrigo Blaas.
Since young, I have always had an indescribable fear for dolls especially those life-like ones with movable eyes.
I often wonder, do they have a mind of their own, coming to life at night when everyone else is fast asleep?
To me, dolls are empty shells that attract evil forces to reside in them.
Singapore theatre has lost a talented actress tonight.
Emma Yong - one-third of the Dim Sum Dollies, has passed away at the age of 36. She was diagnosed with stomach cancer last year.
My deepest condolence to her loved ones.
There will be no more pain and sufferings, Emma.
Rest in peace.
You know, some people really have it all.
Take Nick Pitera for instance.
He looks like Elvis (to me anyway), works for Pixar as a Technical Director and is extremely talented.
After we returned to the hotel from the [Floating Market], some of them went out for more shopping while some of us proceeded to watch the Transvestite show.
There was nothing sleazy about it like I had thought initially. It was more like a cabaret show with elaborate costumes, stage design, plenty of lip-synching and dancing.
Cameras were not allowed but people still take photos anyway so I joined in too albeit discreetly without flash.
Lui Cha (擂茶) is an iconic Hakka rice dish that is topped with chopped leeks, long beans, kale (kai-lan), mani cai, string bean, cabbage, beancurd (tau kwa), pickled radish (cai pok), and served with a bowl of grinded tea made from a selection of herbs such as basil and mint.
Well, there might not be any hard and fast rule stipulating what vegetables to be used in the making of this dish as I believe the Hakka womenfolk simply used whatever vegetables they have on hand or had growing in their backyard at that moment.
(Refer to the Apple's Official Statement here)
The replacement could not have come at a better time as the battery in my device was just beginning to get cranky.
Even after a full charge, the power would be depleted within ten minutes which is about the length of two songs.
After dropping my Nano off at the service centre, I waited for four weeks before I received the email to pick up my new MP3.
The train you are travelling in pulls into the next station.
The door slides open and an elderly man wobble his way in.
There is no empty seat in sight and he could only look around aimlessly while holding on tightly to the pole.
What will you do?
Fall asleep immediately? Turn a blind eye?
The next time you wanna deny an old man of his seat on the train, think again!
Before you read further, answer this question truthfully: "Do you feel like scratching your scalp raw after seeing the following picture?"
This was what a friend of mine posted on Facebook the other day and my entire body broke out in hives immediately.
If you are feeling unnerving like me, then you probably have Trypophobia.
Now I fully understand why Bruce Lee had to go "WATER" whenever he fights.
He is truly the legend.

Qualifications Of Men: KBS Youth Choir
posted on
I have blogged about the Korean variety show "Qualifications of Men" (aka Qualities of Men) from KBS two years ago on my previous blog.
The members are faced with another choir challenge to take part in the KBS National Choir Festival.
Unlike the previous choir challenge which was opened to anyone within the KBS TV Station, the requirement this time is restricted to those who were born before 1960.
And the irony of it all was that the choir is named the "KBS Youth Choir" even though the members were at least 52 years old.
The recruited members comprised of people from all walks of life including houswives, retirees and even professionals like a company CEO, Doctor, High School Teacher and Professor.
Surveillance footage shows Liu, a delivery man, attempting to strike the dog, "Little Tiger" with a box in a threatening manner even though the dog was waving his tail - a sure tell tale sign of his friendliness.
Alarmed by Liu's sudden gesture, "Little Tiger" began prancing around the deliveryman and following him about.

Thaksin Beef Noodle
How often have you come across a dish that got it's name from a Politician?
Indeed, the name was what truly caught my eye while researching for recommendations of what to eat at Clementi Central.
Nestled in a Halal coffeeshop, Thaksin Beef Noodle sells - as you would have guessed it - Beef Noodles that is named after Thaksin Shinawatra, the Thai Prime Minister.
Manned by two Malay ladies, the stall offer other Thai dishes like the Pad Thai, Seafood Tom Yum, Seafood Fried Rice and Beef Ball Soup.
I decided to give their signature dish, the Beef Noodles a try after reading reviews online touting it as the next best alternative outside of Thailand!
What I learnt was that the boss acquired the recipe from a Thai thus making this an authentic bowl of Thai Beef Noodles.
Available in four different sizes (Standard, Value, Supreme, Super), I ordered for myself the Supreme bowl which costs $6 and I requested for kway teow instead of noodles.
I stayed in the vicinity of Clementi Central when I was younger and Boon Kee Wanton Mee was what I ate most of the time whenever I accompanied Mum to the wet market.
That was undoubtedly one of the best Wanton Mee I have ever had and constantly craved for through these years even after having moved to another estate since I was in primary 4.

This video of a Taiwanese female reporter from a Hakka TV Station reporting on a secret slide in The Grand Hotel turned viral after she took the plunge down the slide and let out a series of shrieks which bore an uncanny resemblance to the screams of the Angry Birds.
The slide was in fact an emergency escape route for Chiang Kai-Shek - former President of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Measuring 2.1m tall, 2.2m wide and 90m long, the secret passageway had it's own independent electricity, drainage system and the lamp shades were of shatter-proof quality.

Lee Kui (Ah Hoi) Restaurant
Famed for their cold steamed crabs, Lee Kui - or better known as Ah Hoi (Crab in Teochew) - is a forty years old Teochew Restaurant that dishes out traditional Teochew cuisine.
When we arrived during the evening, the restaurant was already teeming with people and we had to wait for a good twenty minutes, even though we had already made a reservation.
The walls at the holding area were adorned with pictures of their menu so patrons could check out what they wanna eat before they get a table. Good strategy to keep patrons occupied so the wait does not seem that long.

As the waitress showed us to our table, a wave of nostalgia sets in. The nondescript deco instantly reminds one of a chinese restaurant from the 80s.
The Yong Tau Foo originated from the chinese ethnic group, Hakka. It is basically Tofu stuffed with minced meat (add some salted fish to the minced meat mixture for that extra oomph!) and deep fried. My Mum is a Hakka so she would made it for us periodically. I guess as time progresses, people became more health conscious resulting in more varieties being made with vegetables such as brinjal, okra, chilli pepper and bittergourd. The name Yong Tau Foo has thus been used liberally to apply to foods prepared in this manner. Yong Tau Foo in soup is generally a healthy (just omit the fried stuffs) one-meal dish comprising mostly of vegetables. Well, it just happened that it is one of those days when I felt lazy and do not want to cook up a storm in the kitchen. I bought some pieces of Yong Tau Foo from the wet market and simply threw them into the stock in the evening and voila, dinner is served. Serve this over a piping hot bowl of steamed rice. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Bon appetit! |
"The Shot"
I was captivated by this stunning video of a Hummingbird feeding off someone's hand. It was a beautiful moment detailing the trust the bird had in that person.
You can read about the story behind the shot here if you are interested.
Watch the video below.
Exactly my pet peeve!
Have you ever been annoyed, at one time or another, by someone in front of you who's walking and texting at the same time?
Urgh! Don't you wish you could shove that person out of your way?
This is especially frustrating when you are pressing for time.
As the video explains, it is plain inconsiderate and potentially dangerous!
Move to one side when you need to text so you do not delay the person walking behind you.
We found the city heavily polluted, way to (sic) crowded, un-charistmatic, bland, and basically a complete waste of time. We concluded that in Singapore there is nothing worth seeing, the temples were un-memorable and crammed inbetween the busy streets, not worth a visit! [via]
Before we get all defensive, remember MP Baey Yam Keng's teachings?
We need to reflect upon ourselves, are we the way they described? [via]
So, are we really what the tourist has made us out to be?

Bak Chor Mee (aka Minced Pork Noodle) has always been one of my favored noodle dish.
When I was at Bugis to see the 3D Street Art by Joe Hill the other day, I thought why not cross over to Seng Huat Eating House at Liang Seah Street for a quick bite?
I had specifically requested for extra vinegar and spiciness but they had either forgotten about my request or added too little to make a difference.
Despite that, however, Seng Huat Bak Chor Mee did not fail me. The al dente mee pok tossed in a winning concoction of chilli and vinegar was such a delight!
