I forgot about this new Mega Bites stall at NUS Engineering Canteen in yesterday’s mega food update. It’s Japanese food that opened not too long ago. I ordered the Ebi Furai and Yasai Tempura Curry Rice Set. It was delicious. The breaded prawn was really really nice. The curry was good too. The set, to quote the description, is accompanied with Japanese curry potato and carrot on gohan rice and miso soup. I think the $4 for this set is…

Cafe On The Ridge and other Food Updates
It seems lately this blog has featured lots of food posts, and yet I still have a bunch of food photos queued up. So it’s time for a consolidated food update: Cafe on the Ridge, Central Square (NUS), Yakun, Casa Verde, and Hot Pot Culture. First up is Cafe on the Ridge, the casual dining restaurant at NUSS Guild House on Kent Ridge campus. I originally wanted to have the Nasi Goreng Kampung (which is pretty good, by the way),…
Disappointed With Solaris
It’s disappointing how sometimes a “reputable” product, something that you have faith in, lets you down. Like Solaris. I spent an enormous amount of time, together with a colleague, troubleshooting a variety of interoperability and performance problems with a Sun Thumper running Solaris 10. Really very silly things like a SMF script that calls an undefined shell function. This is the script that starts up the iSCSI target service. It calls a function that is not defined. The service cannot…
Darrell Lea Chocolates
Gloria Jean coffee now sells the Australian brand of chocolates, Darrell Lea. It’s a big again in Australia, although I don’t think it was really very spectacular. They used to sell chocolate coated coffee beans a long long time ago, then they stopped. I wonder if they’ve got that again. — Posted from my N95 Lifeblog.
Preparing for H1N1 Pandemic
The SARS experience is repeating itself, this time in the form of the new H1N1 flu virus. Organizations like my workplace will do the “right thing” to implement all sorts of measures now, like what had been adopted for SARS, even though the risk at this point to people in Singapore is really quite minimal. But I suppose they cannot ignore the fact that the risk exists.
Godiva Chocolates
They’re no doubt quite nice, but sometimes I think they are overpriced. — Posted from my N95 Lifeblog.
Solar Powered Touch Light
If there is sun, why would you need a torch light? IKEA is selling one of there gadgets too. The solar energy charges a battery to power the torch when there’s no sun. — Posted from my N95 Lifeblog.
Buffet at Hotpot Culture
The cold cut chicken slices at Hotpot Culture is quite good. This is a one-time complimentary dish include in their buffet. At $7.90 only it’s pretty good value for money. — Posted from my N95 Lifeblog.
No Maid For One Month
Today it’s one month since we’ve been without a maid at home. I’m quite surprised we managed to make do without our maid for one whole month. It was originally going to be just 14 days of home leave, and we were already thinking like what are we going to do for the 14 days. Then something happened, and we decided we needed to change, and then some further complications arose, so things got delayed further and further. From 14…
Tang Dian Wang
Just catching up on some photos of makan places. This is the Lotus Leaf Rice with roasted pork from Tang Dian Wang. Its quite delicious. Pity that baby Vanessa hijacked the rice to cover up her plate, so we weren’t quite able to finish up everything. The other thing we ordered which was pretty good is the ngo hiang. The mango sago dessert I had was quite nice too.
