Ingredients:
Snakehead fish (belly, sides and cheeks) of course you can have the meat pieces, but I just love the belly and cheeks!

Astons@tampines st 11

Deep fried fish skin from a Teo Chew Fishball noodles stall. 
Grill Herb Fish, didnt really like it... tasted kind of blend. But to be fair I dont like western grilled fish, I much prefer my traditional steam fish, teo chew style! Oh yes and i dont like filet I want my fish with head, skin bone and all!
Pork Chop, pretty good despite my unappetizing photo. 
This is my dish, char grilled chicken chop. 
Black pepper grilled fish, not as bad as the herb fish that brother had. 
Murtabak to share

Shin Kushiya@ vivo city

Okay I must declare that this is one of those days that i am too lazy to type. So just photos here... till i find my inspiration. Sigh... right now all I need is to find the inspiration and motivation to set my E*** papers. Someone need to throw my laptop away so that I would stop fiddling with unimportant things and start something constructive.

Durian's best friend


After the durians...Chuan Bei Pi Pa Gao...



Durian again



After a week of Durian-break and 3 days of sore throat and running nose, I am back eating durians again... Blame all the publicity, the durian hype from the Sunday newspapers!


We had our durian fix after my meal at Aston (oh I had lamp chops, bro had the IeatSuper burger), the lamp chop was really good! Too bad i forgot to bring along my camera!

Pu Tien restaurant

Dinner gathering at Pu Tien! Our second dish (er ate up the first dish before i could remember to take a photo) This is the honey coated stir fried yam.
Fried eggplant with pork floss! I like this cos there is not a tinge of egg plant. I don't eat egg plant, but this is deep-fried and there is the pork floss to add to its flavour that you can't taste eggplant! As I like it!
Stir fried veggie with fish cake.
Salted bamboo clam. Not bad, quite addictive. 
Our seaweed soup. 
Our disintegrated Honey Glazed Pork Ribs. It was only after we started to eat n smash it that i remember OOps i forgot to take a photo! Pork Rib comes with mei cai underneath. Dinner mates claim that the mei cai is tastier than the pork ribs. Personally I thought that the sauce was a little too sweet. Pork too fat. 
The popular Heng Hwa noodles! Aiya forgot to add a dash of vinegar! I love the seaweed that comes with the noodles, gives it an added crispiness!
I think this is the sixth time that I had eaten here and I glad to say that I am still not tired of the food, food seems to have deteriorated over time especially the Heng Hwa Beehoon but nevertheless the dishes are still quite special. Then again maybe it is the company that makes this place special! Thanks ppl for putting up with my 'Oh wait I need to take photos" *click click click* food cold... "K we can eat now!"

Sushi tei

Had Sushi Tei for tea one day, this is my sashimi salad. $8 for this plate, very value for money!

$12 for the special Unagi roll but friend was too full to share with me, so i had to eat everything on my own. For an oily fish like Unagi, this is a little too much i must say!

Adam Road food centre

I am not a fan of prawn noodle, but didnt know what to eat and i saw quite a number of people eating this, so well... no harm trying. Didn't really enjoy it, felt that soup was too diluted, blend, tasteless?! Hmmm my vote for Prawn nooodles (soup) still goes to the one at Pek Kio market - Wah Kee Big prawn noodle. 
Friend had murtabak from the stall she says has 'light'?! whatever... I thought all stalls were lit up, yah but i did realise after a while that they do indeed have more lights than the other stalls... aka more decoration!

Kenny Rogers

I was vvvvv full but somehow I succumb to Kenny Roger's when B suggested that we eat there before Kung Fu Panda. I  know i know, many would say... 'eeee Kenny Roger's??!' but yes, I like Kenny Roger's for the baked beans! I used to like the chicken but somehow it has deteriorated over the years and Sat dinner was no exception, it was cold. And yes, I hate cold food, esp cold meat! But then again maybe it was due to the rather cold air con!
Yes YES! my 2 servings of baked beans! Like i mention before baked beans is one of my comfort food! and the baked beans as B quipped has a 'burnt' taste that I so love! And Yes! thanks BTFF for the free meal haaaa!

Wild Rocket

Our free bread. Came with Olive oil dip, too bad didn't come with vinegar. 
Starters 1: Soft shell crab. I love the black pepper sauce that came with the crab, but R thought it was too overpowering. I on the other hand love that it is over powering... I love black pepper, white pepper... whatever pepper. Looks like Goreng Pisang. 
Starter 2: Salmon Carpaccio. Not too bad, I guess I am bias towards smoked salmon. 
R's Chai Poh (preserved Veggie) Chilean Seabass with congee. Really fusion man! 
The Owl's crabmeat tomato cream linguini. Has a unique taste but its a little heavy. Nice if you do not consume excessively. This is obviously not a good place for photo-taking, a tad too dark. The linguini definitely taste better than it looks. 
My portion of linguini from R and Seabass from Owl. 
My lamb shank. Very ordinary, maybe I should stop eating lamb shank but I love lamb. Anyway they all taste the same to me =/ although I must say erm it is very tender, but then again, shouldn't all lamb shank be tender? hmmm. Bottomline, nothing spectacular. 
Our dessert Chocolate Lava Gateau with vanilla ice-cream. We concluded that we preferred the one at Wine Company. 
Here is the receipt of our meal for those of you who want to check out the place. We all felt that this place is overrated. Anyway thankeeee Owl! its a free meal from Owl! Wooweee! And peeps! thanks all for putting up with my irritating photo-taking!
