1 Week in Singapore
My my. What a long week I've had.
For starters, I only managed to use the free BB services by Xpax for 1 day before I crossed over to Singapore. But still, Xpax's rate is undeniably the best since it's as low as RM1 per day.
Once I touched down, I went straight to the Nuffnang SG office where I settled down and started working. Believe me, last Monday was not an easy Monday as Nicki was not well and called in sick. I had to cover everything that was left to her to work on at first since I will not be physically around in Malaysia, I passed quite a bit of Blogger Relations stuff to her, especially movie screenings. It wasn't easy, believe me, it wasn't.After the hectic workload from Malaysia, the Blog Awards preparation came onto me. Work, work and more work. But of course, the team's hard work was compensated when Boss Ming graced us with occasional treats such as Chickadees, Pringles and his own cooked Spaghetti Bolognese! Boss Ming rocks!
I was also brought to various places to eat in Singapore where Boss Ming insisted that the Singaporean food is better than Malaysian before I even tasted the food. He shared that every time a Malaysian comes to Singapore they always say that Malaysian food taste better after they took a bite so he got so pissed, before a Malaysian would even taste the food, he'd say the food is better than Malaysian. LOL!!
Well, as a person with good interpersonal communication skill (PR skills), I was no doubt very politically correct with my words and trust me, I've demonstrated quite an arsenal of PR skills to various parties during my course of stay in Singapore and all of them are very docile towards me after my speech/communication. I personally think I'm a genius in talking to people (providing I want to or motivated by gains, LOL).
Some of the things regarding food I learned in Singapore;
Hokkien mee in Singapore is not the same with KL nor the one at Penang. Hokkien mee is a total different style of frying without usage of Dark Soy Sauce. It's also by default using the yellow mee instead of the thick noodle. It also contains lots of prawns and some squid to go along with it. It does not have a strong flavor (or saltiness) but it's definitely a healthier noodle.
Char Kuey Teow in Singapore is fried differently and taste a little sweet compared to the Malaysian counterpart. In addition, it also has thin sliced Chinese sausage which is also sweet in nature that goes along with it. Definitely different, but nice to try.
Chicken Rice is everywhere and it can go as cheap as SGD1.80 to SGD4 depending on places. For me, it's overrated both in KL and Singapore. It's just steamed chicken with oily rice. Sure, it's nice to eat, but it is definitely not something you'll go orgasmic over. And no, Ipoh is NOT famous for Chicken Rice. Ipoh is famous for Chicken, Beansprout and Hor Fun. Ipoh folks eat Beansprout Chicken with Hor Fun in Chicken soup. It's just that KL people likes to eat with rice thus they serve rice along and then everyone think that's the right way to eat.
Pork is everywhere. This means Japanese, Italian, Western whatever shit restaurant in public serves pork unless it's a Halal eatery. This definitely open up more delicious items on the menus and believe me, Japanese Ramen never taste so good before in Malaysia and the missing ingredient is no doubt - pork.
Well, I don't have time to share more since I need to start working.
I promise I'll share with you what I discover about the gay scene in Singapore next.
Sneak peek - Guess how much I am worth if I'm in the flesh trade industry? Ngek ngek ngek.
Cheers

5 xtra squirt(s):
how muchchhh ? XD!
there's another version of Hokkien Char in penang too that I can't find in KL
Finally, someone clarified the Ipoh Chicken and Bean Sprouts fact.I tried to tell so many people the same but they just dont simply get it. So noobie these people..
The Singaporeans I know claims that Malaysia food is nicer. But I personally prefer Singaporean food. They'll go crazy as far as driving all the way to Melaka for the famous Hainanese chicken rice balls and Nyonya food. For me, my favourite will be the carrot cake in Singapore coz they don't use dark sauce (many of their food doesnt) as compared to Malaysia.
Actually there are a few Japanese restaurant in KL serving pork in their ramen one.
