Despite the odd dining hour of 4pm, there were a steady stream of customers and i had to wait 20 minutes for the food to be served.


A tasty plate of Char Kway Teow

A frequent grouse is the level of moisture, or lackthereof, in the plate of Char Kway Teoh. In this aspect, Hill Street Fried Kway Teow managed to get it right. It is neither too dry nor too oily to the extent of the contents soaking in a pool of oil.

The stall owner is generous with the serving of hums. In the standard serving which i ordered, there were around 10 hums found inside. Unlike the often stale and rubbery hums served elsewhere, the hums here taste surprisingly fresh and pack a springy punch when you chew at it.

The health hazards associate with consuming lards are well documented. However adding some lak pok while cooking the char kway teow will add to the aroma of the dish, bringing out the flavours of the ingredients.

While it is important to keep to a balanced diet, an occasional indulgence in Hill Street Fried Kway Teow wouldn't hurt.

I've decided to alter the title of this blog, so as to achieve a better "strategic fit" with the direction and also to do justice to the blog's url. I guess it's not only me who likes the new title, even Robbie William(s) is/are yelping in collective orgasmic joy.

10 reasons why you should ditch that SDU membership.

10. Tummy makes a better pillow than the conventional one

9. With my large body size, I’ll make good sun shade especially at traffic junctions

8. Never fret about wasting food when you dine with me as I’ll finish your leftovers too

7. I'm a low maintenance creature, just feed pig innards and I’ll be contented

6. I'm nice to hug (provided you have long enough arms)

5. I'll give you plenty of freedom; just don't throw away my porn

4. I'm more handsome than a pug

3. Just like kway chap, I’m of an acquired test

2. I'm funny, not the "HAHA" funny kind but rather the "Sibei Lame leh" type

1. There's a six digits figure in my bank account, if you ignore the decimal place.

If you haven't realize by now, the above is a tongue-in-cheek homage to my favourite canned TV show "Late Show with David Letterman". And I'm not a despo as fmq has insinuated me to be.

Yes i was that bored to visit the ulu residence of fmq to play with her dog. For the record, fmq refused to be photographed in her unglam state. For more pictures for her glamed up look, drop by her blog.



Everyone say hi to Qooki, which happened to own a blog too. (- -)''

The first abnormality i noticed about Qooki was that it doesn't bark! The only sound it made was the panting noises after running itself silly. According to fmq, Qooki will go bonkers and bark incessantly if i snap a picture of it using my flash. While i was tempted to hear Qooki barks, i was more tempted to leave the house with my limbs intact.

While Qooki seems like a full blooded canine hunk, i have serious doubts towards his sexual tendency after he started pushing his head towards my ass. Boy oh boy don't get the wrong idea, im here to make friends, and not love, with you.

First off, pictures of the "hole" as requested by Ooof.


Notice the black circle?


A closer view of it. Don't bother scrutinizing on my nostril, it's clean of booger and nostril hair.

Before i elaborate on the whole "hole-filling" process, i would like to thank those who offered their well-wishes and suggestions on how to heal the ulcer.

The Process


No, it's not rat poison.

While i have heard of using salt to combat ulcers, i dimissed the idea of using it as it smacks of masochism. However after 2 weeks of mouthwashes and medicalgel i decided to give it a shot, especially after how hufferphish exalted the antisceptic quality of salt by describing a scene from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. (O o)

So the moment came. At around 2:30am, on a night when the squirrel decided to invade Highbury, i literally rubbed salt on my wounds. While the pain from the first few ulcers were bearable, tears just flowed when salt came into contact with the biggie. It was so bad that my tongue was shivering uncontrollably for one minute and saliva just dripped all over the place. Surprisingly after a few minutes, the pain subsided and i actually kinda enjoyed the whole process. Maybe i should try dripping wax on it the next time round.



Long live Liang Teh teh teh teh ............


While salt is a good combat agent, relying solely on it will only result in high blood pressure and the inevitable cardiac arrest. (cue polite laughter) Once again hufferphish volunteered that drinking liang teh will solve all sorts of ailments, and she once overcame her *BeeP* problem by drinking it. Being eager to eradicate the ulcers problem once and for all, i actually spent 12 dollars on 3 bottles of it and finished every last drop of it within a day.

Within two days, the holes were almost non-existent except for the biggie which reduced to a quarter of its size. A few days after that, i was back snacking on my keropoks and chips.

MOE should revamp their grading system since 66.6% is now regarded as a strong performance.
