keropok man writes: Earlier today we bought some fruits, red flesh dragon fruits and we thought we would some Korean grapes since we are cooking some korean style meals tonight.These were bought from Fairprice at $5.50 (it's on sale so it's $5.20)Sis put one in her mouth and immediately she 'pui' it out. LOLThese grapes taste a bit like 'wine' or 'gummy bears that has alcohol'. Acquired taste.Our brother likes it though. For myself, it's ok, definitely different from the usual grapes. Not something I will crave for even though it's expensive. Maybe we are not wine drinkers, except once a month on a tiny glass on ...

keropok man writes: Last weekend, Momo, Sis and I, we thought we will just go to Liang Court and see what we can eat. We looked around and ended up at Okinawan Diner Nirai-Kanai. Remembered that Camemberu blogged something about the other branch at Tanglin Mall.When you are seated, you are given 3 pieces of menu, and everything's combo meals. To make things easy, we just took Combo sets 1, 2, 3! LOL...I had the Saba-miso stew combo. $15Chub mackerel stew with soy bean paste. Fish was a tiny bit fishy, but I like fish so it's OK for me. (but not for sis and momo LOL)...

keropok man writes: We were celebrating a friend's birthday earlier at Lau Pa Sat after our Bible Study. We had the usual satay and chicken wings, chai tow kueh, or jien etc...The chicken wing was horrible. It looks so so carcinogenic. (i.e. super chao tar/ burnt) After scraping off the burnt parts, putting it in our mouth, it tasted so bland inside. We decided, the chicken wings stall is slowly deteriorating beyond description. 10 over of us on the table agreed. We need to look for alternatives to chicken wings in lau pa sat. By the way, there's only one stall selling the honey chicken wings, it's a monopoly that's why they are becoming complacent!!!Momo and I ...

keropok man writes: Our "gorilla" friend and another friend wanted to ask us out for dinner. It was some emails that was 'ding-dong-ing' around and somehow we ended up wanting to go to Sushi Tei again because we can still get the 20% because two of us had the Sushi Tei card and it was our birthday month. (times are not so good, so 20% savings is good!)Momo also had the same vouchers I used the other time. So, we had the Sashimi Salad for free again.This time we had the sushi tei dressing.The egg and ...

keropok man writes: Last week, a few of our friends (which included our 'gorilla' friend) met for dinner. After dinner we adjourned to Dempsey Hill because 'gorilla' wanted to have Ben & Jerry ice cream there.When we walked into B&J, we could not find a sitting place there. It was so packed and noisy, because the live band was there.We decided to walk over to Dome instead. We could get seats for 4 almost immediately and it was quiet. :-)This branch looks particularly beautiful and stylish! Doesn't it look so English country like?Anyway, those who could sleep after drinking caffeine ordered ...

keropok man writes: Was back again at Old Town Coffee a few days ago. This time to have lunch instead of just having drinks. Nearby food centres are just too warm and humid for these few week's weather. Seeking refuge at air conditioned places.We had the Nasi Rendang Chicken. It was served in brown paper on a basket. How interesting. It's those 'tapow' (takeaway) brown paper. The portion's quite big. You will get very full.This one comes with a drumstick.I think the price is around $8 or thereabouts.This is the curry mee. (or rather Curry Kuey Teow, since we asked for Kuey ...

keropok man writes: Guess what I did last weekend? I attended a cooking workshop! Sis, Momo, Camemberu and Southernoise and I registered for Chef Yong's cooking workshop at Ulu Pandan Community Centre.Sis and I watch "The Asian Food Channel" (on Starhub TV Channel 69 for those in Singapore, Astro Channel 703 for those in Malaysia) a bit too often and we always wanted to be in the audience of the cooking shows! You know how the chef and the co-host will always "it smells so good", "how marvelously fragrant" etc... and you NEVER get to smell it! Or when the audience gets to taste the food, you get jealous because you don't get to eat it!This is ...

keropok man writes: Colleagues and I, we came back to Kingsfisher Cafe to have lunch again. We remembered that they are closing down and moving to a new location soon.Guess what's our reason this time to come here? We know that prices will definitely rise when a restaurant goes through refurbishment or move. This is Singapore, it happens 100% of the time! We knew exactly what we wanted to eat before we came here.We have 2 portion orders of 'carrot cake' as well. The order of carrot taste really good today. We realise that there's lots of ingredients in it. Pan fried so nicely too. We like, we like. ;-)6 pieces - $7.60...
