Ramen

Posted on by

Last week, my colleagues took me to that place to have some Ramen (a Japanese noodle soup dish)

As usual here in Asia soup are not simply soup, they usually add so much stuff on it! At that shop, you can get a vegetables, spicy, or dry ramen among others dish; I went for the corn ramen…

The bowl of ramen in pork-bone broth came with chewy noodles, discs of char siu (Chinese barbecued pork), crispy bean sprouts, chopped spring onions, corn, and finally a hanjuku-styled egg. Yes I know a loOot of things!

But my friend, trust me, it doesn’t get any better than this. This is definitely the best meal I ever had so far. The soup itself was delicious, it reminded me somehow of a dish I used to eat when I was in Africa; it came also with semi-hard egg white, something I never have before, but really tasty; lastly, well all the other components of the dish, I can’t really say much except they all go well together.

Next time you go to a Japanese restaurant, I suggest you try ramen; because folks, Nippon food is not only sushi 🙂

Museum Afternoon

Today I went to the Art & Science Museum; you know that fancy building right next to the fancy Marina Bay Sand hotel.

Art & Science Museum

Current expositions are Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb and National Geographic – 50 Greatest Photographs.

Amigos, if you have the chance to see any of these expositions, definitely go for it. The Mummy one is quite interesting; it basically shows the secrets of the Egyptian burial practices and mummification process (including a 15 min video in 3D).

The other one, well is just photographs one will say; but really for most of them you will feel something, you know like emotion etc…I felt something haha :-). Anyway the good thing is you’ll have the short story behind the photo, which is quite nice.

Below is one of the pictures; yes it’s the same as the one above in the banner (flash was forbidden, so you cannot really see details). I stand in front of it for a good five min.

If these expositions are in your city, it’s a must gO folks!!

Hainanese Chicken Rice

Yesterday for lunch I tried one of apparently famous meal here in Singapore called hainanese chicken rice also known as roasted chicken rice at this place in downtown Singapore.

I went for the one on the far left. (Just a note aside, I found those pictures always amazing; they really make you drool and feel hungry :-)).

My plate was actually made of roasted steamed chicken (right on the picture below) with some pieces of grilled pork (left side), accompanied by yam rice hence the brown color, and vegetables. FYI, I chose steamed chicken simply because my Singaporean mate picked it too ;-).

It was good food although I thought it was a bit greasy and the portion too small. Nonetheless, for the price (S$4.5) and the promptness of the service, it will definitely be one of my favorite meals to go for quick lunch.

McDo anyone?

I just realized I live in one of those very few places where you can actually see this…

mcdonald-delivery

Yes correct…Mc Donald delivery 🙂 … Isn’t this cOOl?  I know some of you would really love that where you live right now. It’s OK you can admit! haha

Truth is I find it a bit scary; somehow I feel like ordering a Mcdo for delivery is the essence of laziness, especially since it’s 24 hours/7 days.
