bubba gump shrimp co.
bubba gump needs no further introduction i assume as i have already previously blogged about it before. here's my second visit with calvin, this time with nicer pictures ;-)


we tried stealing taking them off the shelve (i believe many others have tried) but it's superduperglued :(


old fashioned new england clam chowder- rm12.90 (bowl)


chipotle shrimp- rm36.90
tender shrimp sauteed in a creamy parmesan chipotle sauce, served over a bed of rice with garlic bread


chocolate chip cookie sundae- rm 13.90
fresh baked chocolate chip cookie served warm with vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate, caramel, peanuts and whipped cream.

our selection of food this time is not too bad as its not typical american fried stuff. the shrimps are at average sizes and taste pretty good. the chipotle sauce is pretty unique as well with a slight spicy taste. the soup was nice as it has clams! hehe thats why its a clam chowder la. the dessert is yummy too! the cookies was still warm... huge portions so if you're not a big eater, make sure to share!

its a ...

#1 ... sunny day sunday.

***

#2 feeling as blahhhhh as everrrrr.

***

#3 still no job, feeling useless and a little out of faith. waiting is the hardest patience game.

***

#4 had a hearty breakfast, can't be bothered to do anything. in other words, weekends make me a lazyass. and no work makes me a lazyass as well (read #3).

***

#5 watched Ocean's Eleven and V for Vendetta for the first time yesterday (shuddup, watching blockbuster movies a few years behind all the craze and hype is my way of getting hyped and crazed). both movies were teh awesome! my favs now :-) vi vish vi van valk vike V.

watched Escape from Huang Shi (starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Chow Yun Fatt, though Michelle Yeoh's character is abit no point). omg. bloody good movie. made me cry so badly at the end. bloody good history lesson, the japs during jap occupation are monsters!

watched Kung Fu Panda. kiuttt but panda's father is NOT a panda wtf? but i like the part where panda's not-a-panda father reveals 'the secret ingredient is...' wanna know? go watch yourself!

***

#6 facebook was fun the first 2 weeks. now it's just log in--> ignore applications--> log out FULL STOP

***

#7 wake up to every morning, same shit happening to our country just different mornings and different people spilling the shit. i'm convinced the sons of our bekas PMs (actually i think it's ingenius that 'PM' is the abbreviation for Perdana Menteri & Prime Minister, kills 2 birds with a stone!) are such dckheads who deserve to have their dcks at their heads and heads at their dcks.

one who goes to london with dear wifey and an entire entourage at the expense of our poor taxpayers who have to pay RM2.70 petrol/liter to officiate (in layman's term- cut ribbons) of a malaysian restaurant (wow yay malaysia boleh!) and another who barks at the PR-led states. oh i forgot, they're both cousins.

am i angry? what are you talking about? I'M ALWAYS ANGRY.

***

#8 mom is coming back today, about another 2hrs countdown after 2 months away. i hope the neighbors dont report anything bad about us (eg. plants died cos your daughters didnt water them, car died cos your daughters didnt start it, cat became depressed cos your daughters closed all the windows and thus deterring them from jumping into the house and peeing everywhere (we hate cats and all kinds of animals) etc. oh there is always a latio, perdana, and city parked at your house, did you buy new cars? shit, confirm die. no we didn't buy new cars.

yay to no more having to do housework! sighs to mom's nagging.

***

#9 i skipped Eason's concert yesterday night :-( got noone as great a fan as me to go with. the only person i know who loves Eason as much as I do had a VVIP ticket. lucky bugger.

i should be going Beauty and the Beast if i have the $money$ and company. you are welcome to contribute either one ;-)

***

#10 its a sunday! happy father's day. thanks dad. and my bunny /hmph emoticon is cute okay!

happy weekend people, and petrol price is still RM2.70 per liter this week, next week, following weeks. not too sure if it will stay long enough cos our PM likes to play bluff wan.

#

jones the grocer which sells anything and everything guai loh from prepacked squid ink to imported liquours, to wagyu beef (one slice at SGD$17! krazy wan!) to any shapes and types of pasta, they even have a cheese room! makes you wanna buy everything though you may have no idea what to do with it. le sigh, temptations.

#

on our 2nd night at singapore, the great sister brought us to brussels sprout, the pier @ robertson quay (somewhat similar to the curve but pretty spacious and less restaurants and by the quay!). its a belgian restaurant by Belgian celebrity chef Emmanuel Stroobantand and is famed for beer + mussels, life is good.

this is food republic singapore @ wisma atria. it is really big with so many stalls offering local, asian and western cuisines that you'll be spoilt for choices!



rainbow colors nyonya kuih-muihs (those with blue glutinous rice are my favs!)


real or fake? fruit juice counter


in singapore, their roti canai is called roti prata. mamaks never look this cool.




ed's fish delights (calvin gave two thumbs up!)
Calvin: The fish slice noodles was just ok... The soup was sweet and not too msg-ish, but it didn't taste as good as the fish head noodles here even without the milk.


mixed beef noodles- SGD$4.60 (anything with beef is yumm for me!)


singapore fried prawn noodles (quite different from m'sian style)
Calvin: I love this fried noodle. Fried using thick vermicelli and yellow noodles, this fried noodle tasted great. It was really flavorful and the use of fried pork lard oil is a plus point!




huat huat bbq chicken wing


minimum order was 3 wings and it was teh awesome! calvin's sister loved it so much she reordered another 3!
Calvin: The chicken wings was pretty good, i like the fact that the skin was crispy unlike the ones in Malaysia.


curry noodles
Calvin: I had it with thick vermicelli and yellow noodles and it tasted good. The "tau foo pok" used is not the common one you see in Malaysia, it's square cut into 2 pieces shaped like a triangle. The soup wasn't too "coconuty" and spiciness was just right with the addition of the sambal, and once again... I added fried pork lard.

Calvin: I love the thick vermicelli and the fried pork lard available in almost every food stall! Why can't we have it in Malaysia... well, the pork lard is understandable but the thick vermicelli! It's really rare here.

#

ToriQ is a stall selling japanese yakitori at the takashimaya food court area. from miles away you'll hear those skewers of meat calling your name... to eat 'em!



a very cool machine that automates the dipping of sauces before being grilled


chicken skin, chicken wing, unagi, chicken karaage, tontoro pork, chicken fillet, chicken balls, pork with asparagus, chicken with green pepper... take your pick!


our pick- chicken skin, pork, pork with asparagus
Calvin: Finishing the chicken skin myself felt a lil sinful. Yiling took a piece :-p

#

korean bulgogi! similar to ToriQ but with a korean flavour this time! temptations, le sigh.


i think they are koreans... or maybe singaporeans selling korean food.


those jumbo sausages are calling my name!! so are the pork and chicken bulgogi... the korean pancakes, squid skewers... etc


glowing skewers of yummyness!
Calvin: The chili sauce for the fried korean delicacies were pretty unique. It was spicy!

#

the famous Pepper Lunch @ takashimaya! you haven't been to singapore if you haven't been here! we went to this before MOS Burger actually...





cut steak with fried egg- SGD$10.90
'sizzle it your way', watch your steak cooks!
Calvin: Grilled beef with butter tastes awesome!
