Nice Duck Rice Alexandra Food Centre

The Stall is glistering with so many awards, plaques... very reflective lor the whole shop!
As a foodie we know that all these can be deceiving... only my unbiased tastebuds don't deceive you and me. If its bad i will sure KPKB...and you will be listed under my HALL OF SHAME. It it is good i will say its good la...and you will be under my HALL OF FAME... how interesting. lol.

ROASTED DUCK RICE - That is the name of the stall, in chinese, you read for yourself :) It is situated at the corner of the food centre, you won't missed it unless its closed or david copperfield happen to passby...

We interns ordered a plate of Roasted Duck and i requested for Char siews to be added on as well... This duck is quite unique in the sense that it is cut to very thin slices, and a lot of dark soy sauce mixed with their own secret sauce is drizzled over it, giving it a unique taste, but this also masked the "roasted smell".

The char siew is also thinly sliced, but i would prefer thicker slice for the texture and the chewiness. It is nicely caramelized, but it will be better if the dark sauce is not added to the char siew as the whole purpose in eating char siew is to enjoy the burnt caramelized surface of it... imo! la!

The rice is just normal rice.... nothing great... 3/4 of my rice was given to my friend... hehe... carbs...

Ok la.. they deserve the award, but it too oily lor... i suspect the dark sauce is added with tons of oil... see how glossy that plate of duck meat is... just like their awards...

Training August 05 @ Toa Payoh Safra Gym

Reached there at 11am! wanted to go earlier, but i had "BIG BREAKFAST", consist of 2 slices of wholemeal bread, 3 banana walnut bread. 2 of which are spreaded generously with PEANUT BUTTER! :D and one is with cheese! Drank a cup of milk and 3 EGGS!

Hearty Breakfast!

Today was Pecs and Back day. Pecs training was fantastic... Pecs day is always my favourite day, and I took 1.5 hours just for pecs... and of cos some loss time due to chit chatting with the floor training there... Flat, inclined, declined, flyes, cables, incline compression all for pecs!

Back training was next... was rushing through my training due to last minute rescheduling of movie - "money not enough too" ( i don't enjoy it at all... but lucky got student discount la). Weighted Chin ups superset with Dumbell pullover. Be careful here, for the dumbell pullover is done differently for the one for upper chest. You should stretch out as far as possible, so that your lats dorsi is fully extended and you should feel the stretch. Next was seated rows wide grip, did a couple and then ended with my favourite deadlifts - did a light one... 70kg for 25 reps.
In between exercises, did cable crunches (above). I have not been doing cable crunch for so long... and i am going to incorporate it more often now... Overall, today was a darn good training day!


I am going to train legs more often now... for i have chicken legs =\

Tomorrow will be shoulder + Legs day, but a morning run before it

Food Barn @ Comtech Alexandra

Qn: What do you get if meeting last for too long until it hits your lunch hour?
Ans: Free Lunch from Food Barn!

Cheese Steak Baguette - My intern friend was telling me why I like to eat "Bak Kut Teh" so much... I was lost... since when did I say I like to eat Bak Kut Teh??? finally get the lame joke... lol...

Baguette: Ba-Gu-Te: Bak Kut Teh

Its just a cold lame joke. =P

Anw, I feel in love with the sandwiches from food barn, the moment I sank my teeth into this 2 ordinary looking baguette. The bagutte was lightly toasted, and the filling was a generous portion of beef and melted cheese... topped with caramelized onions... sweet. 2 of this is just not enough!

Everyone was ordering all the choco shakes and all the unhealthy shakes la... im like the only one ordering something hot and healthy! Lemon Tea - it has a very gentle and light lemon aroma... keeps u a refresh and recharged!

Food Barn is located @
60 Alexandra Terrace

Prawn Noodles @ Alexandra Food Centre

My internship has finally come to an end! Mixed feelings of both sadness, but more happiness! =D
Have loads of food pics which i took over the course of my intern lunch, but i have yet to upload! Actually not much also larh, cos most of the time im eating Yong Tau Huu! lol

Here's a late entry!

Soon Heng Prawn Noodles - they are close randomly on certain days... must be earning too much... tsk

Normal Prawn Noodle @ $3 - The soup base is one of the nicest prawn noodle soup i ever had! taste soooo "prawny". They are also quite generous with the amount of prawn and also cuts of lean pork meat. The winning factor for this is definitely the soup! The small prawns one is sold at $2.50 and $3.00 respectively.

Pork Rib Noodle - E ordered this. Look at the amount of pork ribs they give! I guess its good as well since he never complain!

Big Prawn Noodle @ $4 - I ordered this!

Just pay a dollar more and you can upgrade to big prawns! Everything taste pretty much the same, except that with bigger prawns, the shiok factor is higher! but the downside is, for an extra dollar, you have to do some de-shelling.
