Yummy: Feng Sheng Eating House

I've been passing by this place for months.... never bothered to try because it does not look interesting. I see the steamer up front and the stacks of siopao and steamed baskets and think... hmmmm.... siopao or grilled chicken foldover (it is near MCDO). Usually I go to Mcdo... which is familiar. hehehe

In my quest for healthier food... I decided to check if they have vegetable pao... however the lady tending the store said no... only pork lah! hehehe I was about to leave when she pointed out one steamed basket. She was gesturing to a green covered thing inside and said... fish healthy... many people get. ^_^ Then she proceed to open more basket with healthy alternative... hehehe

From the many she helpfully pointed out... I chose three. The steamed fish topped with green herb (the lady's first suggestion), the steamed chicken with mushroom and the red one (because it was attractive).


All three were great!!! yummy. The fish had delicate herb taste. The red one was surprisingly not very spicy... it was shrimp and fish patty stuffed on red chili pepper and the green one on the side was the same patty sandwiched in eggplant (my fave!)... and the chicken with mushroom well... was chicken. hahaha

I was so happy while eating the food that I decided to be brave and ask if I can take pictures... some establishment do not like having their menu photographed. The lady was so nice... I was just planning to take one picture of the steamed baskets... but she not only let me take a picture... she opened all the stacks of steamed basket so I can take a better picture of each item they have. ^_^

I will definitely go back there and bring friends. The food is great and the people are friendly. ^_^ Next time... I will try to get the names of the food. hehehe

By the way... it's at Bedok Reservior Road between McDonalds and the wet market.

Amoy niluto....

For me Olympics is Gymnastics and I would watch whenever I can catch it... After reading these two articles... I kinda feel bad for Nastia Liukin and admire her more for her poise. I hope this does not mar her confidence.

She does not look too happy in the picture on this article

Unfortunately am not happy with the result... it's soft. wahahaha I was using the unsharp mask on my other pictures days before the excursion and I was hoping it would help check the inherent softness of my kit lens.

Anyway, everybody knows that a kit lens wide open is really soft... not even unsharp mask could hide it. ^_^ But it could also be soft because my tripod plate was missing (forgot to take it back after I loaned it to someone) so I was holding the camera on the tripod.... and the wind was strong....

Will have to go back and take a picture with a complete tripod and hopefully no wind to see the difference. ^_^ I hope my photo shoot buddy will still join me. hahaha
