This is the famous Chai Chee Noodle Village bak chor mee, with 14 outlets islandwide (six of which are open 24-hours, the rest in food court locations).

Well, I've had some time to play with the Casio Exilim ZR20, and these are the preliminary photos. The Premium Auto PRO mode that automatically picks the best settings works really well.
