Bank of China 麻煩

I happen to get 2 free tickets from Bank of China credit card. So naturally I expect them to send me a letter of redemption. After waiting for almost 3 weeks, I got nothing. So I call them up and ask. They said it is ready for redemption and need to go down to their Raffles branch to collect during weekdays working hours!! Then I call them up again to arrange if I can authorize anyone to collect on my behalf but the person in charge not around. Any way, after all the 麻煩 things, finally someone help me to collect. I feel this whole collection episode shows that they lack of a 機製 for such redemption. No clear information at all!! They need to improve on this. Really makes me think twice on redeeming things from them.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice 適合小孩的電影

I love fantasy show and of cos I will not miss The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The story plot is quite 熟口熟臉 and simple. Luckily, the special effects and flow of story are rather good. The show has one of my favorite actress, Monica Bellucci. But 美中不足 is that she only appears not more than 15 mins throughout the show! Wasted!! Overall, this show is rather 適合小孩子。

來一個 Hand Burger

漢堡包 you might eat a lot in many places but in a 漢堡包專賣店 (not fast food chain) might not be everyday affair. This shop The Hand Burger specializes in 漢堡包 and is quite interesting. It has quite a number of 漢堡包 to choose from ranging beef, chicken, seafood, vegetarian, pork etc.. You can even customized your own burger! I ordered pumpkin & crab bisque Soup and the duck confit burger. The burger portion is quite a good size. Not too big and not too small. The duck meat is quite tender too. As for the soup, it is quite thick but the pumpkin taste is a bit lacking.

Chinatown 美食街

牛車水 has a 美食街 which has many nice food. It is a 大排檔 and you can get to taste the different types of 小吃。I ordered a 排骨面 at 史密斯街蝦面。It is quite a generous portion. The soup is nice and meat is tender. But it is still a tourist spot so the price is not cheap.

韓流延燒食物 BBQ Chicken

Singapore is overwhelmed by 韓流 in terms of 韓劇。But another 韓流 has overwhelmed Singapore in terms of Korean food. One of their largest chain BBQ Chicken has landed in here and I went to their West Coast Plaza outlet. 顧名思義﹐they are experts in chicken. I have ordered one of their chicken set lunch which is quite 划算。It has a soup, a drink, a main course and dessert. The chicken is very tender and succulent. Their 密制 sauce is really very nice and tasty. 口感 quite good.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse 比第二集精彩

看過 2nd episode 之後﹐I am quite reluctant to watch the 3rd episode as 2nd episode is simply too boring. After watching The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, I find it not so bad afterall. It is now more exciting, more actions and less 談情說愛。Overall, the show is quite 緊湊。
