ALL HONOR, GLORY AND BLESSINGS BE UNTO GOD!
Hello everybody! I wanted to blog this post on thursday, 12 feb but i did not have time to do so. Some of you may ask, why that title? Well, let me say God has been so good to me and so today, i'm here to give God the honor. Remember my previous post where i was talking about my motorbike test? Well, i passed! And i believe it is by God's grace that i did it because another 4 points would cost me a failure and it is really so easy to get 4 points! And thats not all, by God's grace, i got my bike on the same day! Isn't that great?! The thing was that while processing the transaction at LTA, we discovered that the finance company the seller engaged in blocked the account. So i started praying and praying. Within 15mins, the account was opened even though LTA couldn't get through the company! Isn't that amazing?
In a nutshell, i would like to thankGod for being so good to me, indeed, it was not by my chariots, swords or horses that i did it but it was the grace of God!

Hello everyone!
I'm so excited for thursday!I am! I've waited for this day for 7 years!!!!Can you believe it?Some of you would know what i'm talking about, but for those who don't, thursday is my motorbike test!!!!
Since 12, Rasmus and I have been wanting to buy/ride our own motorcycle. We were Vespa fans then. But now, we're looking at a variety of motorcycles, seeing which would be the best one that would fit us. After looking at a few bikes, we realise that there is no perfect bike. There's either a flaw here, if not, there would be one there. So we just have to settle for the next best one.
Our top choice would be the Honda Phantom TA 200, followed by Daelim Roadwin and so on and so forth. Once we get our bike, we'll definitely upload it to show ya'all..
Till then, please pray for me this thursday, 12feb, at 8 in the morning that i will pass my test.
Thanks!

Good Chicken Rice!
I was with my dad at ang mo kio hub today submitting a case. So after lunch we went to the coffeeshop opposite ang mo kio hub to eat chicken rice! I noticed it before so i really wanted to try it today since the queue is always long most of the time and there was a fragant aroma the last time i passed by. I ordered roasted chicken rice while my dad got steamed chicken rice. There was even soup for the day.
So now my comments... As my title is self explanatory, so will my comments be. It was really good. The rice was did not stick together and there was a strong taste in each grain. The chicken was tender and juicy (esp. the steamed chicken) and the soup was just marvellous. Lots of nuts inside which also contributed to the taste. So if you're craving for some chicken rice, go to the coffeeshop opposite amk hub (opp. subway)
Hope this was useful info(:

XIN WANG HONG KONG CAFE
For those of you who have not yet known, Yishun Shopping Centre has a new 24 hours Hong Kong cafe! Isn't that cool?
Well, it ain't cool if the food ain't good.
I'd say the money you pay for the food is not properly apportioned. So it means that its not worth the money! I might be a little bias saying that since i only tried the Pork Chop noodles and the curry chicken noodles but if that alone wasn't nice, then how much nicer would be their specialty dish. The potato in the latter dish tasted like it was from a leftover curry! Those of you who have experienced it might know what i'm talking about. But i must say the chicken was tender. The pork chop noodle wasn't really that great. Plus, it was oily. At least there was a pretty china lady serving us so that wasn't bad. But seriously, sometimes i think China girls are really gorgeous. They are fair, sometimes tall and have nice sharp noses.
Back to the topic, i think maybe i'm a little bias since its one of my first times eating there. However, i'll have to be utterly convinced that the food i was eating was not their 'specialty' dish to have me go back there to eat.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
I had a great 'chu yi and chu er' going to both my paternal and maternal granny's places respectively. Just got back from Malaysia where my maternal granny lives. Its really nice to see elderly people so cheerful and full of life! She's going to turn 80 this year which is really awesome! I mean living to such a ripe old age in times like these is really amazing. I'm glad to have her and of course my paternal grandmother. They are both lovely people.
Its quite sad that we have only 2 days for chinese new year this year but i think it was sufficient to get things done, like visitations etc. However, visiting other friends would have to be done another day. Plus, since school has just commence, it makes it more difficult to do so. Lucky O' level graduates, so much time to spare. sigh, those were the days man.
So anyway, chinese new year this year was good and i look forward to the next one.

You deserve a MEGA MAC!
I'm sure many of you have seen that advertisement on channel 5 or whatever media corp channels. Its really catchy don't you think?
So today, i went with Gary, Edwin and my brother to KAP Macdonald's to try the Mega McSpicy! Its not that expensive, only about 6 or 7+ dollars to get you the meal. So i waited upstairs for them. They took quite awhile which made me really intrigued. I later realised that the macdonald's system had a problem because both Gary's and Rasmus' orders were switched to Mega Beef Prosperity burgers! I would have wanted it but nevermind, i will try it soon!
Edwin started with his meal as he have not eaten Macs for almost a year now! All thanks to his body building diet! But anyway, the mc spicy was so juicy and tender, i enjoyed every moment of it. But the most enjoyable part is not the eating, but the laughing! There was this guy sitting beside us, who had hair so long it reached the lower end of his backside! Its that long... But thats not the funny part, what was so funny that made us laugh almost non-stop was the fact that he talked really really really funny! I tell you, we had great difficulty eating man! It was a pity we did not take a footage of what happened. Whats worse is that his friend sounded like lao fu zhi! Seriously, high pitched and really like him. I dunno how to describe but it was just like that!
So thats my Macexperience! It really made my day man, as well as the others.
So thats all i wanted to share with you all. Please tag so i'm encouraged that people actually come to my blog. If not i'll have no motivation to blog):
HAHA

FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS!
Okay, today i'm going to tell you more about Nasi Lemak!
Nasi Lemak was originated in Malaysia and is non other than the national dish of the country!
The name of the dish comes from a malay word which literally means 'rice in cream'! So as you all know, the rice is the main attraction of the dish as it is cooked with coconut milk. Salivating already? Wait till you try the different nasi lemak available in Singapore.
So i'm going to do a comparison between nasi lemak from two places in Singapore. Punngol Nasi Lemak and the one in Adam Road Food Centre - Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak (if i'm not wrong...)
I ate the Punngol Nasi Lemak last week and was impressed by the standard of nasi lemak.. But that explains the long queue! Today, i ate Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak. It was divine! It was just so delicious you'd think its the best nasi lemak you've ever tasted. However, i was not impressed with the chicken as there is no special taste to it. Its pretty ordinary. On the flipside, the otah and egg was fabulous! The rice was the best. The authentic Nasi Lemak Taste was acquired. So i'd give it 4 out of 5.
Punngol Nasi Lemak can be compared to Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak but i was not impressed by the taste of the rice. Its true that people say that is the best part of it but i thought the chicken was the best. It was soft, chewy and tender. So for the chicken, i'll give it 3 out of 5. Still worth trying.
So this are my thoughts and recommendations on nasi lemak. Its unfortunate that all the components required to make the best dish is always all over the place. But i guess thats what life is about, always trying to achieve something better.
So that'll be all for today's post, i hope it was worth reading.
Rastus!
For Punngol Nasi Lemak,
