Working makes 24hours a day seemingly much shorter. At least that's how I feel after work each day. By dismissal, it's already evening 6pm, into the night, by the time i get home, 7pm and will be left with only 5 more hours until midnight to do my stuff. People might ask, what about the hours from 1am till morning? As I mentioned at the beginning, it's work, working for your employer, you are the employee, you get the benefit of reaching office way before your boss does and the remaining hours after midnight are for sleep and ensuring full exploitation of your energised soul for the next day at work.
On Wednesday, I finally managed to squeeze out a time-slot for dinner with Mr. Yang who will be headed for Australian exchange soon. My treat for him, venue at Golden Mile Complex, food is no doubt Thai cuisine. Just a brief summary of the happenings:
Sebastian!!
A familiar 4 seasoning in Thailand, an uncommon sight in Singapore.
Seafood pineapple rice...S$8...sufficient for 2. But I prefer the pineapple rice at Sembawang Shopping Centre though. Here, they made it stickier.
Seafood Tom Yam...S$7...trust me, their spices are free...1 bowl down and my mouth's out of action. Bowel action was ermmm....hot..haha
These vegetables look plain but in fact they're real nice!! Trust someone who hates his veg...I ate quite a bit.
Pad Thai(pronounced as Pud Thai)...S$3...hmmm...nice no doubt, but definitely not the original taste from Thailand. Modified to suit the locals' tastebuds. The beansprouts are raw but when blended with the peanuts, sugar and glass noodles, amazing dish. I still prefer the one I had in Thailand though.
The Thais are quite reowned for their 'skewered' stuff. Those that they put a chopstick through and put on the grill. From the most common fishballs, to meatballs, to chicken wings and you might have guessed it, insects: centipedes, crickets, grasshoppers. In case you are still wondering what's in the picture below, those are frogs!! They almost landed in my belly if not for the filling dinner I just consumed.
