達信牛肉面 Thaksin Beef Noodle @ Clementi Central

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.

Boon Kee Wanton Mee @ Clementi Central

Boon Kee Wanton Mee

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.

视频: 超人也問路?

超人配樂版

一位伸直右手正在飞行的超人突然出现一辆行驶中车子窗外。

他靠近车窗,拍打窗户问倒「
哥斯达黎加」的首都「圣荷西」怎么去,让车内乘客捧腹大笑。

而坐在副驾的女乘客笑着回答:“往前,再往前”。

超人向她道谢后,就往右飞走了。

仔细一看,原来“超人”是后座乘客从后车窗伸出上半身,模仿超人飞行的动作。

Make It Right For A Better Ride

Giving up space to another makes for a pleasant ride

Being a frequent public transport commuter, I do have my fair share of grouses and horror tales (of inconsiderate behavior) to tell.

However, among all the annoying traits that I have come across on the train, nothing irritates me more than having someone reading the newspapers near me!

Video: The Song Of Life


This is dedicated to all would-be Mums.

A song of life composed by the fetal heart rhythm of one hundred foetus.

Witness the miracle of life!

Video: The Tragic Encounter Of A Pretty Reporter


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.

[CLOSED]李貴(亞蟹)席館 Lee Kui (Ah Hoi) Restaurant @ Mosque Street

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.
