Book BBQ Pit In SingaporeWhen I first moved in to Pasir Ris estate (Singapore), I thought the barbecue (bbq) pits along Pasir Ris Park Beach are free to use. Little did I know that each one of the bbq pit belongs to the National Parks Board (Nparks) and that I needed to book a bbq pit AND pay for the use of the bbq pit after I book it in Singapore.Fortunately, I got to know how to book a BBQ pit

Half Chicken, Swenson's Restaurant Suntec City

2008-07-27T17:02:00.001+08:00

We ate at Swenson's Restaurant, Suntec City recently. I chose the chicken as I was feeling carnivorous. This Swenson's restaurant is a branch located at the basement where there were many other crowded restaurants around the Fortune Fountain.The chicken was very soft, easily cut by teeth, with bits of chewy tendons. As expected of chicken, the fatty parts under the skin were minimal but not

Claypot Seafood Bean Curd At Dian Xiao Er, Changi Airport T3 branchThe look of Dian Xiao Er's seafood bean curd as presented to our table was average. Looks about the same with other Chinese restaurants that serves such seafood beancurd dishes in a claypot.The gravy was a tad salty for my liking although those who like sodium chloride with their plain dry white rice will apppreciate it better.

Deep Fried Kai Lan at Dian Xiao Er in Changi's Terminal 3First look to even a casual observer would have raised an alarm. Where's the kai lan? Is there a mistake in the order?Closer inspection would still lead you to believe that the green curly stuff is NOT kai lan. You check with the waitresses and they reassure you that there's not any mistake in Dian Xiao Er's kitchen.You take a chopstick

Spicy Mongolian Pork Ribs At Dian Xiao Er, Changi Airport T3My first bite of Spicy Mongolian Pork Ribs at Dian Xiao Er of Changi Airport Terminal 3 (T3) gave me a coughing fit of epileptic proportions.
