Durian Makan 2014

The first durian makan for this year. This time with a group of running friends at the usual place at East Coast Rd. The desire to eat is still there but the stomach capacity has shrink and cannot eat so much. This is what left of the fist or is it 2nd round of the…

Sinpopo Brand

Came across this quaint looking place at Joo Chiat and finally decided to walk in and sample the fares. But first something about the place. It was designed to look like a place from the Seventies. Even the music that was playing were Chinese music from that era. Incidentally, the name Sinpopo if my memory…

Durian Overload!

I think my love affair with durian is almost over. Haven’t been eating a lot this year and this is my first durian buffet for the year but I gave up very fast. Maybe it old age or maybe it really is durian overload. The quality and quantity of the durian is still there but…

Durian Brulee @ Pepper Bowl

Previously when I ate at Pepper Bowl, I did not had the chance to try the Durian Brulee. I figured it couldn’t look and smell good back in the office but what the heck, I couldn’t resist today and went ahead. At $3.50 a pop, it wasn’t cheap but it was definitely worth it. It…

Beef Noodles

A new noodle stall at Amoy Food Centre. The stall name says Pepper Bowl but it doesn’t sell those pepper rice that is everywhere now. Instead its main dish is beef noodle. I tried the dry beef noodle and I know now why the stall is called Pepper Bowl because there is certainly a lot…

Durian Durian Durian

Times flies and it is the durian season again and time for another round of durian gorging. After 2 unsuccessful attempt, I finally managed to round up enough people to qualify for the durian buffet at our usual durian haunt. The unique thing about this durian feast is that for $25.00 each, we get to…

Durian Soya Bean Pudding

I normally don’t have high regards for those durian flavour soya bean curd selling at the shops and hawker stalls. But still I quite kapoh and got to try when I see a new stall. The other day was at my usual lunch haunt and there was another one of those new craze, soya bean…

Durian Pilgrimage

For the third year running, I return to the hallowed stall of durian for the annual durian pilgrimage. This time round, there were 9 of us, the biggest group so far, I think. The stall holder seems to want to get rid of his durians. He keep opening durian after durian until we were truly…

Durian Party 1

First durian party of the year and we went back to Ah Loon & Ah Teck of East Coast Road fame.atering fart and burp inducing wallop of a fruit. And buffet no less! At $25.00 per head, it was a steal considering that each type of durian at the stall sells at an average o$12.00…

Oiishi Durian Bread

Was coming back from Jurong when suddenly remembered somebody mentioned the durian bread at a bakery in West Coast Plaza. So promptly swung over there and cleared out the last tray – I think there were 12 or more but who’s counting. Shared it with colleagues in the office. The verdict? 10 thumbs up! The…
