We live to eat

2 place i would like to share with u guys. First is the Tiong Bahru Chicken Rice stall outside bugis junction, opp Mos Burger. Discovered this place while exploring the area with one of my colleague last week. Firstly the chicken is really tender and not too moist though the rice itself is not very fantastic but at least its not too bad. Secondly at just $3 for a set with salted veg(taste rather sweet), not forgetting the cucumbers and tomatoes and a bowl of soup(everytime i go diff soup), its really worth it esp since the amount of meat they give is quite a lot. Also u can order thigh meat(鸡尾) and it still cost $3, there's also the other side dishes like youtiao, bean sprouts and fried beancurd, most of these cost abt $3 too. Lastly is the service is rather gd, though they kept asking passer-bys to come their stall they dun appear too aggressive and they're kind enuff to refill my soup and say thank you when i leave. Did i mention to hordes of OLs u can see during mealtimes, now that's a big bonus!

Yesterday was watching Fantastic 4 which was not fantastic at all, the show is a total crap, totally not worth watching. But after the show the swimmers went to Imperial Treasure La Mian and Xiao Long Bao at Marina Sq for a late dinner(we're the last customers). I had Xiao Long Bao and this wanton in red chilli oil. Firstly i think its real cheap, $3 for 4 Xiao Long Bao is real worth it for its quality, seriously i can't tell the diff b/w this and the ones i had at Dingtaifeng which cost a lot more. The wantons were great too, 5 or 6 for $4.30 but the skin was real thin yet they were rather generous with the meat. Delicious. Eugene had a nice big plate of fried rice which cost abt $10 i think and i find it rather tasty, very fragrant. La Mian cost abt $5-$10 there and its rather big bowl so the dinner really compensated for the disappointment of F4. Do try it when u're there next time, its not the typical expensive chinese restaurant, dun believe can check out their menu outside before u enter.
