Kumar show @ 3 monkeys in HV

When to watch Kumar talk show at 3 Monkeys in Holland Village. It was damn funny. His jokes consist of sexual, political, racial, religion, etc. Normally it will cost $20 for an hour show (either 8pm or 10pm) inclusive of a drink. Maybe we went on the holiday season, it costs $33 per pax that night. It was quite Ex but a good experience listening to his jokes "live" for the first time.

I am back....

Hi all, have been missing for awhile. Been busy with work and marriage. Will been updating and back dating some of my thoughts, activities and findings.

I have also added a Twitter update on the side panel as to share my current thoughts with all my friends.

Cheers

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

Finally found the Tai Hwa Pork noodle, which used to be located at Marina Square food centre. I used to work in Suntec and never got a chance to try their noodle because on the long queue during lunch time.

They had move to Block 466 Crawford Lane #01-12, inside a coffee shop. IT is near the ICA building and the Lavender MRT Station.

From Hill Street (1932) to Marine Square (1986) to Crawford Lane (Since 2005)

According to the newspaper article, they were the "original" Tai Hwa Bak Chor Mee. The Lao Da Hua at VivoCity's Food Republic and Tai Wah at the Bestway Building are ownd by his brothers.

Another Ayam Penyet

Heard from a friend that there is a good Ayam Penyet along Bench Road. Found it opposite Shaw Tower.

I ordered Mee Soto and Ayam Penyet for a try. They were quite good and the price was reasonable.

It is comparable with Ria Ayam Penyet at Lucky Plaza.
