Durian, King of Fruits

Durian, commonly known in Southeast Asia as the King of Fruits, is popular in Asia for its creamy rich and sweet fruit. The fruit is protected by its green thorn husk. 
In Singapore, you can find many durian desserts be it durian cake, crepe and ice-cream. 
Common feedback by foreigners is its strong smell. But once you taste it, you feel like you are in heaven. 

 I brought this durian, which the seller sold it in package though its not so environment friendly.

The durians!

You need strength to open the durian. (Last two photos from google)

If you love Science subject, you can visit Singapore Science Centre located at the western part of Singapore, near Jurong East MRT. You can play with the prototype they have to learn Science concepts like gears and worm wheel gear, or just look at the colourful fish in the Marine alcove, or scan your face to see how you look like when you are 60 years old.

Arts in Ion Orchard Shopping Mall

Many art galleries are popping out in SIngapore. Besides Raffles city shopping centre, there is another art gallery Galeries Bartoux in Ion Orchard Shopping mall. It's a good place to buy arts from famous artists like Salvador Dali. I love to have one of these arts but it quite expensive. For me, its like a museum with free access :) 

Ba Panda. I love Panda.

Singapore Airlines

One of my dreams in this life is to at least travel business class or first class with our own Singapore Airlines, to be served by the beautiful Singapore Girls and enjoy restaurant cuisine. 
I saw these latest business class seats offer by Singapore Airline at this year NATAS fair where Singaporeans and residents visit to get discount or gifts for travel package.

Located along Victoria Street in the Bugis arts, culture, learning and entertainment district, Bugis+, formerly known as iluma, has become a familiar landmark with its illuminated "crystal" façade.

After undergoing months of transformation, the mall will be soft-launched in June 2012 with over 30 new and established brands to excite shoppers. When work is completed by July 2012, the fully revamped Bugis+ will boast over 90 outlets, offering more entertainment, more F&B, more fashion and more fun for shoppers.

Double Happiness

I saw this Character design, typography by Alvin Koh at Noise Singapore Festival and I was immediately attracted to it. It kinda show the world about Singapore. Though most Singaporeans are westenised and educated in English, most of us are also deeply rooted to our Chinese traditions. 

"The word is the Chinese ligature "Shuang Xi". It is usually used as a design decoration during Chinese weddings. The monster characters are one of my favourite style of drawing." Alvin Koh

Ding Tai Fung,The Best Dumpling in Singapore & the World!

I tried all types of dumpling in Chinese restaurant and till now, my favourite dumpling or xiao long bao is still from Ding Tai Fung restaurant, also one of the top 10 best restaurants in the world. I first had a taste of the delicious fried egg rice in Taiwan and when I returned to Singapore, I immediately went to try the Ding Tai Fung restaurant. Glad to say that the standard is almost on par with Taiwan. Hmm, I really can't discern much difference, well except for the sweeter prawns in Taiwan. The black vinegar in Singapore is darker which I like. 

Really happy to see chilli crab dumpling which is really tasty. It is much better than the standard xiao long bao. What baffle me is why can't they put chilli crab in their main menu? I think I can eat chilli crab xiao long bao every week.

Mango pudding. I will stick to this dessert in the future.

For the first time, I tried the almond pudding with black sesame seed, but it is disappointing.
