Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsQuite a different place to makan since this isn’t a fancy restaurant or cafe but rather a very friendly owner’s house. It is common practice in Kukup for the homeowners to upgrade their homes into “villas” (something like a bungalow chalet) and rent them out to weekend holidayers.For 1 night weekend stay ...

Luckily all of us pretty much ...

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsOn a recent family weekend dinner, my parents suggested going to Kian Seng Seafood Restaurant. We had actually been to the place before but it was under a different management. Mom and dad even told us that this restaurant was actually the same one that they had during their wedding years ago! The large spacious canteen is pretty common to most …

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 starsWhen we were thinking about a place for our monthly gathering (May ‘07), we had to find a place with good food and somewhere that could sit 13 people. I suggested Botak Jones since its been a place I’ve heard mixed reviews about from “Damm good food” to “super long waiting times”. Since I managed to get off work …

After a night of fireworks and mahjong for some, we soon were awoke to a great sunny morning. Caught sight of two snakes having a morning tussle as the smaller one was biting onto the larger one and couldn’t resist taking a snap. Our morning breakfast was all ready with a serving of nasi lemak ...

The Ulu Ulu Safari Restaurant was featured on TV, and a contact complimented on the nice decor so we wanted to try it out when we visited The Singapore Night Safari.The theme was retro, maybe of the 60s… hmmm…. wonder why many places like to use retro theme for food. The decor does remind one of the Republic at Wisma Atria. But the prices are about 2-3 times …

Since it was still pretty early after we unloaded all our gear, some of us decided to take a short walk out into the main town area to do some shopping. The good thing about this place? Its a small town so not much tourists around and you don’t feel like you’re back in Singapore. ...

First off, I would like to state a big caveat to this review, which is that the subjectivity in this post is probably much greater than in my other posts. In fact, it’s a little strange to …

Pretty interesting how a rat can get such attention in Pixar’s latest offering. Yh absolutely hates rats but has considered watching this movie since its an animation. Should be pretty interesting to watch once it shows.

We celebrated Mother’s day one day earlier this year and at the suggestion of S& E, we headed to Marina South Prawn (and Fishing) Pond (Near Superbowl Golf & Country Club). The weather didn’t hold up too great in the afternoon and down came the typical afternoon showers we’ve been having lately. Luckily, the skies ...

We decided to visit a place just mentioned on tv for its delicious seafood (especially known for its crabs) and so we headed down to 91 Defu Lane 10. The restaurant was hidden amidst rows of industrial buildings. After a little mix up over our reservation, we managed to get a table in the inner section (think it would have been better to open the doors if the air-con …
