A Time for Everything

Favourite bible paragraph of all time. Beautiful. Everything has a place in time.

Ecclesiastes 3

New International Version (NIV)

A Time for Everything

3 There is a time for everything,    and a season for every activity under the heavens 2     a time to be born and a time to die,    a time to plant and a time to uproot,3     a time to kill and a time to heal,    a time to tear down and a time to build,4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,    a time to mourn and a time to dance,5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,6     a time to search and a time to give up,    a time to keep and a time to throw away,7     a time to tear and a time to mend,    a time to be silent and a time to speak,8     a time to love and a time to hate,    a time for war and a time for peace.9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.

Have bread, will Baker Talent

Bread alert, bread lovers - this bakery bakes darn good bread.
Baker Talent has a few outlets nationwide but we have only had bread from their Jurong west outlet and our whole family loves their freshly baked bread.
Their selection is not wide and very simple in appearance but quality of taste is on par with, if not better than brands like Breadtalk.
There's always a queue and their bread sells off their trays like hotcakes.
My favourite is their golden brown bolo buns. Crusty and sweet on the outside and so buttery inside. Best eaten hot out from the oven.
Google them and you will see all the great reviews people have put up about them.
Do give this awesome local bakery a try.
They are worth it.

Play Mobil Surprise

Play Mobil is definitely one of my favourite childhood toys. There is something about its rigid yet versatile outlook that still, after decades since it first launched appeals to both young and old until today and these little toys really do last a lifetime.

Check out my childhood Play Mobil made in 1974 on the right and my daughter's modern day Play Mobil on the left. As you can see, mine is still standing strong and still looks as good as new.

That is why I very willingly buy Play Mobil for my destructive kids. You gotta love its reputable durability.

We bought Play mobil for our kids today because it was the last day of the Play Mobil sale at Henderson rd (203 Henderson Ind Pk). This occasional sale is probably the only time you can grab hold of cheap Play Mobil at. They were selling full themed $900 sets for only $300.

After much contemplation on which sets to buy, we chose a school bus for our younger girl and a fire truck for our older girl. Both came up to only $70.00 in total which is a real bargain for Play Mobil. Very happy we scored a great deal.

Pow Wow Saturday @ Pow Sing Restaurant

I grew up with fond memories of Pow Sing and until today, Pow Sing delivers my kind of comfort food every time.
Its a little on the expensive side for simple tze char dishes but the occasional treat to oneself is a must.

The spouse cum "makan kaki" brought us there tonight and we ordered chicken rice, white steamed chicken, crispy chilli sotong, assam ikan pedas, stir fried kai lan and fish maw soup all in small portions for 3 adults and 2 kids and the total bill was $75 inclusive of 3 cups of chinese tea.

Most people order their fish head curry and white steamed chicken which have been their signature dishes for years but they do have other dishes worth a try like the crispy chilli sotong which is super crispy and fragrant.

Do expect a queue if you dont make a reservation.

No Highway Like the Chai Tow Kway Way

Lurve this good ole stall's chai tow kway. It definitely lives up to its reputation for being one of Singapore's top 10 chay tow kway.

Lim Kee sells soon kueh, chuee kway, fried kway teow and chay tow kway at Bukit Merah Central food centre and all their kways are yaaaaaaameeeeee! and we all say amen.

What i love most about this chai tow kway is the bite. The kway has a very well balanced bounce to it and it isnt too oily. 

Must try because its tasty and you wont have to wait too long.

Satay! Satay!

I had no intention to blog about anything this weekend but this one is blog worthy.

I was craving for satay at 12 midnight so my food enthusiast of a husband drove us to Hougang for late night satay. Its one of the only satay stalls in Sing Sing that opens past midnight. 

Located in a S11, 24hr coffee shop at Hougang St 21, Blk 212, Poh Kee Satay will be sure to satisfy your satay cravings.


Their char grilled satays are sweet, moist and tender and I like their peanut sauce which has pineapple puree in it. The sauce is not too spicy and goes very well with the satay meat.

We ordered 10 chicken satays, 5 mutton satays and 1 ketupat for $8.50. We could have had more if not for the yummy cheese fries we ordered from the western food stall.

Delay in food updates

Food updates need to take a back seat at the moment because I have been helping my boss move her office and warehouse for the past month and it is some back breaking work so no updates from me until I have the time and energy to go find and eat something good.

I'll be back.
