The biggest "Burger"

A Burger Cake
Look at the oozing "cheese" stacked between the "burger bun" topped with so much "sesame"... i wonder how it taste like...

Black Pepper Chicken @ AMK S11

Used to patronise this stall back in my JC days... and they are good for their fried food! Especially the Chicken Cutlet!

Their array of western dishes

I love meat! Black Pepper Chicken Chop! Do you realised that there's no fries? Cos i ask for more beans to replace the fries ( dun wanna clog my arteries) Remove the chicken skin and you get a much much muchhhhh less sinful meal, about 80% of the fats will be gone! The salad is another killer with all the mayo, it will be better if it is replaced by steamed veggies, but for that small portion of mayo, it still ain't that bad after all... the garlic bread is very well toasted.

Anyway the portion used to be bigger, has the chicken has shrunk in size?

Where to run? Places to run?

The Army Half Marathon and Nike Human Race is approaching, and I have increase my frequency of running. Usually I will run at the track as it is easier to the knees, its free, and its convenient for me. But is there like a best place to run? What is the difference between running on track and running on concrete?

Grass - The grass is a great place to run because it is easy on the knees and on the ankles, and it provides extra resistance to the runner, but this also means that you cannot go fast running on grass. But most of the grass patches in parks in SG are not for running, maybe the grass field in the stadium will be a good choice.

Stadium Track - The track is easy on the feet if the track is a pretty new one, as some of the worn out tracks are no better than concrete. Another plus point is that it is obviously easier in measuring distance, and tracks can be found in all stadium. Not too sure if colleges tracks are now still open to the public. anyone care to tell me?

Concrete - A lot of impact to the joints and tendons, but it is the most convenient place we can run. Difficult to gauge your distance, but you can go to www.can.com.sg to plot your running points to measure the distance. Provides scenic view too, but be sure to wear a good running shoe if you are running long distance on concrete.

Treadmill - Running like a Lab Rat... Boring, but acceptable...maybe you can listen to your favourite music or watch the TV while running. Treadmills generally don’t provide enough intensity for running, and you cannot sprint or slow down as and when you feel like. Some threadmills provide good absorption, while some cheapo ones can be quite bad to your knees, but ideal for sunny/rainy Singapore.

Sand - Many people hate to run on the sand, but the sand is actually the best place to run sprints and intervals. This is bcos, the sand provides much resistance to the quads and the calves, causing explosive power to quickly ensue. But it is recommended to run long dist on the sand.

Trail - Trail such as those in Parks are often hilly and you might be very susceptible to injuries or even sprains. Impact absorption wise is not too good as trails can be quite nasty sometimes. But the ups and downs slopes provides extra resistance to your quads.

so where do you like run? =)

Pies and Tarts from Le Cafe

Cafe Le Pastry - I have passed by this place a couple of times whenever I visit Rochor Tau Huay (Bean Curd) Stall which is just a few shops away from here... but I nv took a second look at this shop, until today.

So many newspaper clippings, must be pretty good, and some bloggers actually gave a thumbs-up! My intent was to get the Bean Curd Tarts... which is similar to egg tarts, just that the filling is bean curd...

They are reputable for Tau Huay Tarts... but sadly...

The lady boss told us that they have ran out of stock, and we have to come another day! But as a consolation, we bought moon pies instead, after trying out samples given by them. The sample size was generous lor..unlike some stalls... so niao (Stingy). I also tried the brownie, which was pretty good, but there are better ones outside. The moon pie comes in 7 different flavour. (Anyway moon pies is quite similar to moon cake, with paste as its filling, but the skin is flaky). It comes in Coffee, Traditional, Salted, Yam, Green Tea, Red Bean etc... The paste is not too thick, but chewy and overall its pretty good... and it makes a good gift too esp they wrapped it up so nicely... hehe.

so we ordered the bean curd tarts... and come again the next day to collect it...

Bean Curd Tarts! True enough, the bean curd is smooth and silky, and the taste of bean curd is strong. I love it, my family love it.. all of us love it! one missing from the tray, cos its already in my tummy! haha!
