Old Airport Rd Hawker Centre
Went to Kallang Leisure Park to ice skate! 2 hours of ice skating burns: 
assuming i skate for a third of the time: 246Kcal was burned + its cold inside, so my body needs to burn more calories to maintain my body temperature for the next 2 hours, another 150Kal in excess was consumed. So in total: 400Kcal was burned! Therefore im so hungry after ice skating! No interesting food in Kallang Leisure Park as 80% of the stalls are still closed, unless i wanna go Cold Storage to eat raw food. So off we go to Old Airport Rd to Jiak Beng!

Hua Kee Hougang Famous Wan Ton Mee
The Mee is really good... very Q and the sauces were just the right amount... best noodle i ever had... but the wantons and charsiew pull down the scores. The wanton was way too small and not yummy la... no quality but at least quantity ma... but quantity also dun have... Char siew is the thinly sliced type which i dun really like... i like the thick slices one with thick caramelised surface, like the one sold by the auntie at amoy street level 2. Dunno why the Q is so long lor... really long...4.0 wantons/ 5.0 wantons
Freshly made Chee Cheong Fun
Best Chee Cheong Fun i ever had! Best of both worlds... u get the Quality and Quantity. Quality: the Cheong Fun is sooo smooth and watery, as it goes into your mouth, u can feel the watery layered texture... omm... Trust me... eat this if u r a chee cheong fun lover! you wont have any regrets.... but if u dun try... i feel sad for u... lol. Quantity: They are so generous with the amount of meat... I had the Chicken and the Char Siew, and both the meats were like free like... gave a alot la... the Picture might look abit turn off... but who cares man as long as it taste good... and the chicken is better than the Char Siew.
4.8 Cheong Fun / 5.0 Cheong Fun
Rainbow Cuttlefish KangKong
Its Stall name make it sound like an expert in this dish... so I decide to give it a try! I think the auntie saw me snapping picture of it stall, and i presume she tot im some sort of food critic or what, and so the Cuttlefish Kangkong made by her was done so painstakingly slow, but nicely staked on the plate and presented for me..lol.
Tip of the day: I think it taste better without the chilli!

Cuttlefish Kangkong!
It was not really yummy, i had better ones at many places, so low score for it.

Bread from Provence
Provence
Cafe - Bakery style
Very Wide Variety of Bread - a fusion of Japanese and French Flavas
ah...i cannot decide what i want....
Ended up buying a wide variety of bread to try out!I believe that to find out whether a bakery is good, you gotta try their An Pan (Red Bean Bun)
Bread ready for inspection!
L - R:An Pan (Red Bean with Skin) - 4.4/ 5.0- Mama Bakery at Square 2 is better
Raisin Bun - 4.0/5.0 - The Exterior is like Polo bun, one of the nicest raisin bread I ever tried
Brazilian Cheese Bun - 3.0/5.0 - Chewy bread, and its deep fried and tt makes me really hate it.

Training 31st Dec
Seated Machine Chest Press - 220kg x 10reps ( prize money of $220 if i can do 22 reps)
Hainanese Chicken Rice Ball
Da Bao half a chicken and 5 balls of rice cost only $14.
Chicken has volume, tender and the juiciness still stays within. Very difficult to find FAT chicken from chicken rie stalls nowadays, the chicken are really BIG! Some parts are slightly reddish as it is cooked but not fully cooked , a skill not easy to master... becos most chicken are overcooked , and hence, the meat tend to be a bit too tough and dry.4.2 chicken / 5.0 chicken
The chicken rice balls is pressed to shaped, hence some might find it a bit too hard. But i simply love it...kind of chewy, yet its still has the aromatic smell lingers in it.4.0 balls/ 5.0 balls
