Tons of fish in the water

Someone asked me,
"Why do you keep loving someone who doesn't love you back?
There are tons of fish in the water."
I simply replied, "Just because it's also water, would you drink from the sea?"
 


Nuffnang: Old Dogs preview

Posted by Yong Kun on 7:20 PM comments (0)

Sypnosis: Two best friends -- one unlucky-in-love divorcee (Robin Williams) and the other a fun loving bachelor (John Travolta) -- have their lives turned upside down when they're unexpectedly charged with the care of six year old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers Ella Bleu Travolta and Conner Rayburn), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what's really important in life.



Caught the trailer and is so hilarious. This is a scene where Robin Williams and John Travolta were denied entry into the Zoo. They then decided on breaking in, to their horror, they ended up in the Gorrila enclosure. After which, all hell break lost. Totally funny!

Old Dogs opens in cinema 31 Dec 2009

The Manhattan Fish Market

Posted by Yong Kun on 7:11 PM comments (0)

The Manhattan Fish Market its like my fourth time there if i am not wrong. like its rival Fish & Co, it offers seafood at affordable price.

We had their promotion package dinner for 4.
-Seafood Platter
-Dory Fillet and chips
-2 x Icecream
-Drinks

Their seafood platter is huge, consisting of prawns, fish, calamari, garlic rice, fried oyster and chips. The last time i went, i had difficulty finish it with two person. They used a blow torch to burn the cooked prawns, leaving some charred patches on the sauce, real cool. I like the garlic rice, its so fragrant, but they are also very oily. The seafood are fresh. But i find the calamari abit overcooked, very hard to chew on. Actually we picked the dory fish fillet instead of the mahi-mahi. But they served the mahimahi, which was supposed to be more expensive. I dont really like the texture of the fish.

Service is generally quite good with attentive staffs. DBS/POSB cardholders get a 10% discount off.

Dinner at Ikea Tampines

Posted by Yong Kun on 9:09 AM comments (0)

Went to Ikea at Tampines to do some window shopping. If you do come to Ikea, you shouldn't missed out on their restaurant. First, the fried chicken wings serve there are one of the best i had in Singapore. It is crispy, juicy with tender meat. Then comes the tasty swedish meatball with boiled potato, sauce and jam.  We also ordered some side dishes like the fries which was not bad, at least it wasn't soggy or too greasy. The food here is so reasonably priced, no wonder it is always so crowded. Be prepared to wait for quite sometime during peak hours and weekends, because it is so difficult to get seats.

The only thing i hate is irresponsible diners who fail to clear their plates and leftovers. then the next bunch of diners at the same table have to deal with the leftovers. It is not uncommon, is it so difficult to bring the plates and leftovers to the designated place which is just a few metres away?


Meatballs!

Shokudo @ Hereen

Posted by Yong Kun on 9:36 PM comments (0)

Dined at Shokudo at Hereen, before catching the movie "Perfect Getaway". Shokudo is something like a Marche theme Japanese Restaurant. Diners are first given a card which are use for ordering food and the bill will be charge according the amount incurred on each card.

The place is quite small and the variety is very limited too. But the ambience is pretty good, with the nice lighting and the comfortable round cushion seat we were sitting on. Also there was Japanese pop songs playing in the background.

I decided on having the Beef Fried Rice in Omelette. It was not bad in terms of taste, but was abit dissapointed with the small portion and it cost around $12++.
