:: know what u eat ::

Its been quite some time since mcdonald's started putting the nutrition information of its food items on the tray mats. But today, Dearie decided to teach me about choosing the right food and all the other things about nutrition. Did you know that mcspicy contains 1310mg of sodium, which might put quite alot of pressure on your kidney? That amount of sodium is 3 times of 6 pieces nuggets. Surprisingly, 6 piece nuggets seems one of the healthiest food around, winning the deceptively healthy looking grilled chicken foldover in the energy, fat, cholestrol and sodium categories. Altho foldover has the highest dietary fibre quantity at 4g, but come on, that little amount of vege found, my friend who dun like veggies will remove them lo.. So.. For a low carbo diet and much healthier choice, u know what to choose at mac. But u r really health concious, try to lessen ur visits to mcdonalds. Wonder how Dearie keeps his abs toned despite his at least once a week visit to mc..

:: NDP08 the day part 1 ::

SFI has once again reached another peak.. Dim sum out ration.. Wow.. Pau, jian dui, lor mai gai, carrot cake and ngor hiang.. I'm pretending to be amazed.. Well.. Not that I've not had it before.. Its just that we only have it for breakfast in cookhouse.. Huat ah!

:: beautiful mistake ::

The people at botak jones made a mistake regards to my take away of Cajun chicken set. I decided to have my sides as fries and pasta salad, with request of extra fries. In the end, they gave me what i ordered, with additional piece of chicken, making it a large set, which should have cost 5.50 more, and also a portion of coleslaw, which was additional la, coz i changed it to pasta salad le ma.. Lol.. So happy!

:: happy lunch ::

In a really rare occasion, i met Dearie for lunch today. As i had training session at MND auditorium at maxwell road, i was able to meet him for lunch, for his lunch time is pretty flexible. So we went to Tuck Shop on this rainy afternoon, enjoying our foccacia sandwich and fish n chips, scoops of ice cream, and relaxing in the lazy afternoon. Now, i'm blogging this post as i sip my caffe latte while i see him busy on his Versa lappie.. Rainy afternoon, but wif the right company n atmosphere, it can be relaxing and nice;) i'm happy!

:: cream of chicken ::

My rare late lunch at pizza hut today gave me a pleasant surprise. Look at the over generous amount of chicken slices in the soup. First of its kind.

:: i screamed ::

for ice cream..

it was Ben & Jerry's free cones day..

chose a strategic timing (2pm) to go Vivo city with ronnie n sir seng to enjoy free ben & jerry's wonderful cones.. yeah! and we enjoyed from 2pm till 6pm.. lol!

i broke my last years record and had 4 scoops this year! Yay!

and heres the beautiful and delicious ice creams.. wow..

a scoop of New York Superfudge!

then a 2nd scoop of Chunky Monkey!

Choc fudge brownie followed

before i overdosed on cookie dough..

look at that smart smirk on my face..

looking forward to free cones day 2009!

on a side note, after 6pm the queue was really really long,
tts why i did not go compete my round with
another scoop of the final strawberry flavour..

:: eat right ::

Have u noticed the tray lining of mcdonald's? The most unhealthy food is McChicken, with 16 more kcal energy then mcspicy, and 2 g more fat than big Mac. Wow. And a mc flurry oOREO's energy is even higher than a big mac. And worst of all, all mcdonald's food's dietary fibre content is no more than 5 gram( for 2 large fries) that is pathetic. But i still enjoyed my sausage mc muffin with egg breakfast nonetheless.

:: record breaker ::

I contemplated awhile on what solves my hunger best.

I thought since I could last for an hour, and i wun be sleeping so early, calling McDelivery would be a good choice, and it delivers after an hour..

surprise surprise surprise.. after 4 times of ordering, this guy has broken the records..

i ordered at 0020, the email said it would be delivered around 0120..

the guy called from the McDonald outlet at 00:26, confirming location..

and he called again at 00:33.. i was pissed.. what is it you need to know now??

oops.. he called to say he's here..

WOW.. 13 minutes flat.. the extra $3 is finally worth it..

:: Yumi-licious freshness ::

After reading numerous great reviews about the say bons crepes at PS b1, i decided to give it a try. For 4.50, the french mushroom and ham crepe was fresh and delicious. Will be back for more.

:: soft n sweet ::

Really nice. Thats j.Co donuts. One bite and you will love it. At least i do...

Saba udon @ cafe by the quad

Looks quite good right.. 4 bucks lo.. Haven't indulged in it yet. Hope it tastes good.. Seldom eat at quad.. Too ex le la.. But here is a good place to people watch. The ppl here dress up quite well lo..

suppering @ NTU (1)

Like i said, hall 4 is centrally located n food is just a walking distance away. This week, i kick off my supper column wif fish ball noodles at extension, coffee shop next to city harvest n nanyang cc. Its ok la, the sauce quite hot, but noodle is a tad too dry. But choices after 11 is limited. If zi Char n fried chicken is not wat u wan, then muz settle for this le. And for drinks, all i can say is VERY VERY EXPANSIVE. But no choice, only 1 stall. This meal cost $3.70. Rating for noodle=*** three, not too bad, but nothing to scream about.. Supper lovers, jio me out K.. Explore other food!

Miloboi Ntu food search 1

Hey hey.. Its time i start this write up about nice and good food found around Ntu. And to start off, its waffles. This is one rare time that i enjoy it wif ice cream. Normally i'm fine eating it plain or wif kaya/peanut butter. The auntie who makes it in the afternoon have a better time guage, so it turns out hot n fluffy, n still soft when cold. Yup. Plain one cost 80c, wif simple spread cost $1 to $1.50, add $1 for a scoop of ice cream over a plain waffle. There's also muah chee n steam corn. And the stall is at Ntu canteen 2, centralised n accessible. Look out for more food on Absolutmilo.
