Cafe-ing @ Pitch Black

Chilled out with Michelle and Chai Shuan @ Pitch Black last night. We ordered forgot-what-berry tea for Michelle (Michella complaint that it was Rasberry!), Nutella milk shake for Chai Shuan and Teh Tarik milk shake for myself.


Sweating~Is a bit warm that night~Sweating




Michelle!! Hand off my Teh Tarik milk shake!

吃篇天下无敌口之 Octopus ball

Found this little stall at the Tang's market place. It catches my attention because the Japanese looking owner (From their accent, I guess they are Japanese). I love octopus balls. It is one of the foods that always appear in the comic books, just like the red bean bun in Doraemon comic.

Look for this stall!



Thus I bought 5 for 3 dollars. It was great, it taste different than what I normally had. Yummy~

Looks delicious isn't it?

吃篇天下无敌口之 Nadezhda Russian Restaurant

Hey...is food! I love food! I am particularly fussy about food. Some of my friends find me irritating, LOL. I guess is due to the influences of my parent (my parent cook together everyday) and my hometown (majority are cantonese, contonese know the best food. Myself is a Hakka).
I first known of this restaurant from channel.....U? (can't remember) I always wanted to try it out. At last I am here, looking at their menu.



The place give me a feeling of home. I felt like I am having dinner in the living room. 好此住家菜



I ordered beef Stroganoff(beef rice), Borsch(beef and onion soup) and Pelmeni(meat dumpling with sour source) and a glass of Kvas(trandtional sparkling). Beef Stroganoff taste a bit like Indian beef curry but not spicy and Kvas taste abit like 黄酒(chinese rice wine) with sparkling. Worth to try, it is nothing similar with any asian or western food.

Discovery Singapore : Haji Lane

Have you ever been to Haji Lane lately? This is my second time here and it surprise me. In the lane, there are no longer only old fashioned and historical bulding. New, young and artistic elements are slowly replacing the dying business here. Buildings are repainted and renovated in their own unique style/personality. Young people (perhaps mostly are artists/designers) are spreading their roots here.


Guess! Is this a studio or a lounge? Well... it is a boutique!

The automatic door it just next to the sign "3". Here I save the comments on the fine pieces they are offering. I am not really a fashion guy. I don't think it is just an ordinary piece of fabric.
Because I asked for a piece that will cost me....130? I wonder if the owner is a cantonese, the number "3" has the same pronunciaiton with the word "cloth".


Another voguish boutique.

Besides boutique there is a place to chill out. It is place where you can have movies and drinks in an aesthetic ambiance! PITCH BLACK. On the second storey, is a mini cinema loaded with the latest blu-ray™ technology (blu-ray™?).
For more information, please visit the official web-site: www.pitchblack.com.sg


Cafe @ ground floor


Can't get a ticket during the weekend? No worry....
Pitch Black is here.


taadaa... Movies of the day!

I foresee this place will become another hotspot for the young! Let's support them, support us! (I am young too)

Discovery Singapore : Arab St



I found some interesting places around Arab st. First of all, an antique shop near the mosque. It filled with lots and lots of old toys, special edition of coca-cola, media devices, sign board, etc. The decoration of the shop is cosy and unique. You can feel the passion and enthusiasm of the owner.


I like this cash register! It costs 350.



All sort of toys

This Coca-Cola Collection is amazing

There is a mini cafe at the back of the shop. The shop keeper show me the menu and allow me to take a photo on his very old vespa. He told me that they do arrange for mini party at the cafe for FOC! I definately don't mind to have a drinking session in here. The ambiance is supreb.




Lastly, the shop named "Ah gong shop", what a nice name. Tired of conventional shopping centre? This place definately worth a visit!
