Always wanted to write about this yummy yong tou fu at Siglap, today finally manage to take some photos of it……what unique of it is the noodle & the deep fried yong tou fu items both covered with thick gravy of minced pork & sauce…….

There are two yummy Yong Tou Fu eating shops nearby to each other at Siglap (just around two shops away), selling same style of Yong Tou Fu

One is Fu Lin Tou Fu Yuen 福林豆腐園(釀豆腐) which is air-conned & spacious while another is 源味豆腐園 just a small food stall at Siglap open-air coffee shop….both we had tried before,  both are equally great & yummy but difference is 福林豆腐園(釀豆腐) one much more expensive……so going to which shop depend whether you willing to pay more for the aircon & environment….

Below are the pictures for 源味豆腐園, the fried yong tou fu items on plate & noodles for both look quite the same & both popular with own crowd of customers

Ten items covered with the mince pork & gravy

noodle covered with the minced pork & gravy

Total bill for the ten items we choose with two bowls of noodle cost $7.20

Last time,  源味豆腐園 only open during lunch time and evening if want eat this style of yong tou fu had to go to Fu Lin Tou Fu Yuen 福林豆腐園(釀豆腐), but today went there for lunch see a notice that 源味豆腐園 has started open from 7.30am to 8.30pm since end June

Story started with a flashback to many centuries ago, back to the English Civil War, when a man was caught selling weapons to both sides & forced to wear a steel mask for his crimes. After that, back to current time, a army group involved Duke & Ripcord been ambushed by a group lead by Baroness (Ana) trying to snatch the four warheads during the delivery...Duke & Ripcord been rescued by Hawk team which later join them to become part of G.I. Joe team ( a highly trained combat force using advanced next generation spy & military equipment) lead by General Hawk to send the warheads to the Pit (G.I.

This movie is based on a very old G.I. Joe cartoon very long time ago in 1985!

Black straight hair seems to suit Sienna Miller more as she look stunning & more attractive this time in her Baroness cast …just feel she look more average in blonde hair….

Just bought a book light for my Sony Digital book reader…

===> Energizer Trim Flex Led at NTUC at S$16.20….

stated on its packaging:

• 30 hour run time between battery changes.
• Powered by two replaceable 2032 lithium batteries.
• Lifetime Warranty.

Batteries are included and installed so can be used immediately once out of package

It has a build-in big clip for you to clip onto the digital book reader for stable positioning,

however, feel the clip abit stiff, would be better if it’s easiler to depress

there is an LED behind diffusing window, to be switch ON or OFF by a slide switch

It has a flexible neck that you can adjust (by bending it) to put light to where you need

however, feel that the flexible neck quite filmsy, like going to break easily

As for reading wise, the light intensity is just nice, good for reading in dim light or when in total darkness…..

when in dim light…

when in total darkness…

ION orchard had open last Tues (21 July’09) but yesterday evening just went there, still quite crowded…

Level  1 to 5 are all branded boutiques, restaurants:  Niu Niu,  Louis Vuitton, Giorgio Armani, Prints etc but some stores like Prada, Marc Jacobs etc still not open yet…

Level 4 has a very grand toliet just beside the Singapore Airlines

Below is a snapshot inside ION at Basement 1, beside ATM machine same level as the Swarovski boutique

Basement 1 are those sub-range boutique like Armani Exchange, Bebe, Camper, Calvin klein Jeans etc

While Basement 2 to 4 are more affortable range boutique & eating like Mango, G2000, Burger Kings, BALIthai, Dunkin’ Donuts, etc

The Louis Vuitton (LV)  store at 1st & 2nd floor is the largest outlet in Singapore Southeast Asia…….

The LV outlet at Takashimaya still have people patroning it but very obvious that most been attracted to quene there at ION

ION orchard is grand & location is good for MRT taker as just out from Orchard MRT at Basement 2 will link straight to ION. It also have elevators that can link people straight to two levels but somehow its structure abit “messy” to Non-MRT takers, as we feel mis-orientated & have to figure out the way to get back to its entrance to go back….hee

Bedok Blk 85 Feng Shan Centre is one of the place we usually go for dinner. We like to eat the Bar chor mee, BBQ chicken wings, stingray & Samba Sotong there. If already midnite & no place to eat, can consider go eat Bar chor mee as one of the Bar chor Mee stall open til as late as 3am

There are two Bar Chor Mee stalls just beside each other. Both are equally popular & long quene but we usually order from the stall located inner one called Xin Ji Rou Cuo Mian(興記肉脞面) which only sells soup type Vs the other stall which sell both soup & dried type

Address : Blk 85 Bedok North St 4 #01-07

The ingredient of the Bar Chor mee is just minced pork & meat balls but soup is quite nice to drink with the sliced chilli.

price: $2.50, $3, but we normally order $3 as feel the $2.50 portion is abit little for us to get full. (but may suit some small eater girls)

BBQ chicken wings is another yummy food we like to order, there are quite a few BBQ chicken wing stalls there but heard the one nearer to the Chan BBQ one nicer…below is one of the stall we order the BBQ chicken wing from another stall

SIN Bedok North BBQ Chicken wings (鑫勿絡北烤鸡翅)

鑫

Address : Blk 85 Bedok North St 4 #01-02

price: $1.10 per chicken wing…..

Chan BBQ is another famous stall there…

Address : Blk 85 Bedok North St 4 #01-258

Stingray are one of the popular dish & quite tasty but feel it’s abit too spicy  for us (Need drink to accompanied us while eating it)

cost : $10, $12, we order a $10 one as below:

Samba Sotong is great, not too spicy & the meat is tender, especially like the egg in the gravy, taste great, just like egg in the chilli crab gravy that I like! :p

cost : $6, $8, $10, we order a $6 as below:

When iphone 3GS just launched in Singapore on July 10’09, it cause a storm of approximately 3,000 people quene to buy!!!!……

Dear sister is also crazy over iphone 3GS. She specially made reservation & paid deposit of $50 for it but end up she still had to quene few hours on first day of its launch.

Before that she was using iphone 2G & really like it so decided to upgrade to 3GS for its speed boast ( faster 600MHz CPU from 412Mhz, Faster network speeds of HSDPA 7.2Mbps & RAM at 256MB) & better features like bigger storage space, better camera resolution esp at macro mode & so on…

✿btw thanks dear sis KellyW for contributing all the pictures for this blog, they are cool & cute, nice shots! :p ✿

Below is summary of difference between iphone 2G & 3GS:

*Disclaimer: We can not guarantee that the information on this table is 100% correct.

But, for iphone 2G, dock & cloth were given but not for iphone 3GS. However,sim card pin will be given for iphone 3GS

Anyway she is happily enjoying using it now….look how she has set her iphone 3GS’s lock screen, dialing screen, home screen & sms screen, all very cute & sweet rite?:p

She also get a sweet pink pouch for her iphone3GS which is quite nice

front & back view of the pink Belkin pouch

White pouch as gift from her fren for the phone….

(how it look when“open up” & it’s back view)

Glad she get it on time coz now iphone 3GS is out of stock, now her “i ♥ iPhone” accompany her everyday through her long journey to work where she can play games, surf net, read email, on her fav MSN & sms.

I’ve also used iphone 2G before & enjoying using due to its features & elegant design but too bad it had “rest in peace” after a major hard fall due to “unforeseen incident” :(

But iphone is not popular in Japan as their mobile phone design also damn fanciful, stylish with great applications, but too bad can’t use in Singapore as our telecom network don’t support it else I’ll “冲”for it (provided at price I can affort ) hee….
