Food Blog : Newton Food Center

A few nights ago, the hubs and I finally ventured to the Newton Food Center. For those of you who are not aware, the Newton Food Center is a haven for tourist. Prices of local dishes are hefty but it's located in an easily accessible area which would explain the high prices.

The place was bustling for a Saturday night, as it would be, and we totally ordered from the wrong places thus didn't enjoy the food. Think whatever we ate gave us a slight tummy ache. We will have to go back some other day and give it another try, this time ordering food from the right stalls!

We Doodle

Ever since the iPhone came out, developers have been given a new lease in life and I really thank them for coming up with the kind of games that they do, and working around the trademarks/proprietary issues. Just one big one was Scrabble and how after all the hooha, Words with Friends was born.

Anyways, I was hoping that something similar to Pictionary would come out and it is finally here! We Doodle it's called and it's so addictively cute! I'm so addicted to this game, which was introduced to me by my ex-workmates, that I've been playing it non-stop since yesterday! Now I just have to get me a stylus and maybe a bigger screen! *wide grin*

F1 : Monaco

Excitement is in the air! A couple of crashes, some interesting maneuvers/overtaking and all against the amazing backdrop of Monaco. One day... I will visit this place, walk the streets of the race route!

The best part of this race is how after the 5th or 6th position, Vettel, who was leading from start to finish, was lapping everyone!!! Excellent car? Amazing driver? I don't know, but it was an exciting race!

Lamb, Snag, Ham Jam!

Spotted in Cold Storage. What are they selling these days?! I'm sure it's ok to put this jam-my thing onto your meat, but wouldn't it stuff up the marination? Plus the fact that they're not cheap, imported from Australia at S$17.50 per bottle

Anyways, when I first saw it, I thought the worst! Literally Jam made out of Lamb or Snag!!! Eu... which would explain the above paragraph. But have no fear, it's actually Apply Mint for Lamb, Smoked Tomato for Snags and Cherry for Ham.

Food Blog : Yakiyakibo

With a name like that (read yucky, yucky bo) you'd think the food wouldn't be great, which would explain why we never stepped into this place, but I was proven wrong today. Yakiyakibo is a teppanyaki place in Jurong Point under the same management as the Ichiban chain.

The chef was a part-timer, but boy was he an excellent cook! The seafood was fresh, the garlic rice was interesting and all food were served on a piece of bread to soak up the oil! The best part of it all is that all the dishes had different taste and were not all drowned with the same sauce.

Unfortunately, no photos to show, as we were too busy eating!

Movie : Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides

Totally recommended!
An hour and a bit of Johnny Depp perving, who could ask for more?!
He's still the best Captain Jack Sparrow ever!
I'm sure the storyline was interesting but for the life of me, I can't remember now... *wide grin*

F1 : Spain Catalunya

Is it really something that's so easy to do?
How can Vettel be lapping the car in 5th position?!?!?!
Are the Red Bull cars really flying through the air?
That has to be on everyone's mind today as they all watched Vettel go from pole to finish, lapping the 5th position!
So, what's the story with Webber then?
Isn't he in a Red Bull too?!
Meanwhile, Schummy has been maintaining his position within the top 10, having not hit the top 5 barrier yet
