a coffee shop that has been better days and worn fairer coats of paint, teo chew eating house plays host to the famous serangoon fried hokkien mee.
the allure of this fried hokkien mee lies within the experienced handstrokes of the hawker and old style leaves wrapping.. with a drier touch, the preserved (due to wrapping) smokey flavourgamely grips the tastbuds, causing one to wade in sheer felicity thereafter.
a new find: oiishi curry puffs. after work, dad drove to queen's street at bugis to get gao lak (roasted chestnuts) and landed up with a box of 'oiishi curry puffs'. i am so tempted to break into one of those exaggerated japan-hour theatrics..
verdict? -wow. invitingly shaped and pleasantly puffed, i thought of this curry puff as more moist, lighter and tantalizingly crisp than now-dethroned old chang kee. yumyumyumymumumymumumymyuum.
i caught tan kheng hua's 'table for three' on channel 5 tonight and it was 'stylist'- theme, so basically she had clarence lee (make up artist), grego oh (hair stylist) and vernon sim (dresser) present to viewers their favourite muck outlets.
MYLORDYLORDY- the 3 men were so gay, you could fill up a barrel with their feminity. haha.. oh grego oh was sooo delectably wacky and fun to watch! he reminded me of a japanese cartoon superhero, cherub face round eyes and all.. his hands gestures and eye language literally had me grinning like a fool in front of the tv.
something scary caught my eye while watching the nine thirty news trailer. fyi- psle results were released today. anyway, the journalists and crew visited the rosyth primary school to interview the top psle student.. when i saw RED TAPE!.. as in the students were centered within the school hall whilst parents were held back by those candy-cane plastic rolls of film that were used to border off say accident areas, construction sites and PRIMARY SCHOOLS! wahhhhhhhtttt!? haha.. i am pretty sure if there were an aerial view of the school, there would have been paramedics and stretchers on stand-by.. christ, the civil defence unit could have been called down too... and this is ONLY PSLE?!
<-- an illustration.haha... i am sorry but i find this awfully funny.. were they expected a riot or something? all those kan-cheong parents hanging on to that shimmer of hope.. half-thinking that this exam could make or break their child's first-class-honours 5Cs-paved future. ok, i should really stop making fun of them lest i became a crazy take-half-day-off-to-supervise-my-psle-kid mum..
sigh, if you think our civil laws are tough, wait till you try our education system.
