香港珍记 (28 Mar)

Was out dinner with my gang of crazy girls (actually, just 3 others) - Serene, Lisa and Doreen. Whenever we are together, we get rowdy and there will always be bouts of laughter, hysterical ones too hahah!! The unmarried (one of whom is the eldest) will call the married "aunties"!??! Now, who's the auntie here? Hahah!!

Anyway, as Lisa drives, she drove us to this regular place she goes it - 香港珍记, along Cheong Chin Nam Road - the row of food oulets opposite Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. I must say the quality of food is quite good for the price we paid. For 7 dishes (small size), we paid a total of about S$60. Quite worth it, we thought. These were what we had (paiseh.. pictures not very well taken hehe..):

-> Fish slice bee hoon soup
-> 三捞河粉
-> 虾枣
-> 排骨王
-> 虾酱鸡
-> Fried baby kailan

Rating: 4 out of 5. Worth a try and return!

The amazing clouds!

Took these pictures on campus cos I realised I seldom see this kinda cloud formation. Or is it just that I haven't been out to notice much?? Hahah!! Sorry, think my mobile phone's camera did not do justice to the clear blue sky it was suppose to be.

Curious, I ran through a search on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouds and found that this is called "altocumulus mackerel sky"and that it is called "mackerel sky" cos it is similar to the markings of an adult king mackerel (err.. I say.. "where got???")

"Altocumulus mackerel sky" falls within what is commonly classified as "middle clouds" as they develop between 6,500 and 20,000 feet.

Anyway, very nice hoh....??? Heheee....

This was taken in the evening (about 7.30pm) on the same day... another different formation.

Manhill Restaurant (13 Mar)

Moistly fried egg with prawns. Very good!

Fried vege with ham. Very nice!

Famous beef claypot. So fantastic you can have bowls and bowls of white rice with even just the sauce! Hahah!

Believe this is no stranger to many people who loves to eat! Tucked away at Pasir Panjang (99 Pasir Panjang Road) on a 2-storey shophouse, Manhill has been around many many years.. (I don't know how many lah... haha) It was also the don't-know-how-many-times we've been there, and Manhill will always come to mind when we want have beef claypot! SEDAP! Even better than Crystal Jade's ;p The best I've tried so far (err.. not like I've tried beef claypot from all over the entire island though hahaha!!)

And for reasons we do know know, it is also very popular with Japanese, and frequently patronised by these Japanese who work nearby.

So, it's of course a "must-try" place loh... Go, go, go!!

P/S: Apparently, they have a sister restaurant called Hillman (formerly at Cantonment Road) at Kitchener Road.
