HOR-LAN (Lost) This is the story of two Singaporean geeks lost in Australia... Yes, I'm gonna go missing for a few days Those in Aussie can still text me or something If I don't come back in one piece Keep Rollin'
After my EHR3009 iHRM paper lunch was at CITY MALL INN (炳胜美食) 245 Albert Street
The restaurant is kinda like a food court concept but there's only one vendor
The menu is like our 煮炒 (Stir-fried) style So you'll see dishes like Sweet-and-Sour Pork with Rice, Mongolian Beef with Rice etc
The restaurant is not packed Pretty clean and service is quite good Opens 7 days from 9.30am to 10.30pm
Errmm.. that is a soup spoon
I had Chicken and Vegetables Its pretty good! Cost less than $10 Return Factor: 9/10
SATURDAY MORNING Met up with Richard-san in the city We're going to a picnic gathering today..
Check out the pink-hair! Yep.. Its a COSPLAY Gathering in Brisbane City
The very famous KITTY (left)
Richard is pretty famous and popular in the community He invited me to this event - THANK YOU RICHARD SAN!!!!
THE WITCHES TEA PARTY City Botanical Gardens 26 June 2010
The Cosplayers brought their food (mostly pastries and savouries) They're really fun to watch I think they are "happy-people" very lively and vibrant
More importantly, the dedication in making the costumes
I would say its a CULTURE
And of course the event attracted a lot of photographers Lots of dSLR and professional equipment We are the people who choose gadgets over LVs and CHANELs
Find your favourite Anime/Managa/Game character here!
Its a Greek Tavern so naturally - Mediterranean Cuisine Expect lots of Olives, Cheese, Herbs , Pita Bread etc
Previously, we came here for coffee The restaurant has a very nice little garden at the back with lil scuptures - clean and welcoming
Service is excellent We were served by a humourous male staff (could be the owner)
Mykonos Salad (scallops with salad) $13 The seasoning is fantastic, however scallops taste a lil bland Suggest that they are most likely frozen
Ivy ordered the Vegetarian Souvlaki $10
She said it was very tasty! Return Factor: 7.5/10
GREEN BAMBOO RESTAURANT 153 Boundary Street
Its a small restaurant along the stretch that serves Chinese-Vietnamese cuisine The dining area is pretty clean with one female staff running the entire dining area Ambience is pretty basic and simple Some rattan art and a Buddha wood art
Washroom is located at the side-alley next to the restaurant The path is flooded with nasty-looking water No key entry, it doesn't look safe to me
Menu is stained and flimsy Some of the pages were detached from it already
Yes, its been a long time A lot of readers has commented that they wanna see more JESSY BESSY So here she is! Save the picture and put as your wallpaper.. You do not get to choose who I want to dine with! ROAR!
Also, dining with me today - Roy..
..and Wei Minn
Naturally, people always judge a Vietnamese restaurant by its Beef Pho
Quail Very tasty! Taste like chicken, only better!
The poor thing looks pretty cute too..
I think this is the Duck with Egg Noodle Soup $11.90 Egg noodles (wanton mee noodles) in Duck stock served with duck meat and baby bok choy
Vietnamese Pho Soup (combination) $11.90 It comes with only rare beef/chicken or a combination of rare beef, beef ball and brisket Personally, I find the soup much better than Happy Days, but the beef ball is too soft I would rate it on par with AJ Vietnamese, except this one has a more spicy soup Flat rice noodles are nicely cooked
The beansprouts and mint leaves that comes with the noodle dishes - pretty generous
Steamed Dim Sims (4) $6.50 These are our siew mai Minced Pork with carrots Pretty decent taste Good presentation
Spicy Hue Style Pork and Beef Noodle Soup $10.90 The ladies had this Its thick vermicelli in beef stock Said it wasn't spicy enough
Return Factor: 7/10 Other Remarks: Will not use the toilet for $10
FREESTYLE TOUT (West End) 220 Melbourne Street The ladies wanted dessert, so here we are at the very famous Freestyle Tout I don't have to introduce the place if you're new to this blog, go read the older entries at http://leongmingen.blogspot.com/
Also in the restaurant - Feeona Chang and Family
Seriously I need a hair-cut + shave badly
A lil bit of Queensland around $15 Their signature dish Caramel brownie, macadamia nut ice-cream, caramel sauce, chocolate, strawberry Very orgasmic, very sinful, very tasty Gives you a floaty feeling everytime No, there's no marijuana in the dish! Return factor: 10/10

Post-exams Party at Vanessa's Not exactly a party, but it was pretty fun to hang out with our international West End gang Chris, Ivy, Scott, Gorm and made a few new friends
We had a lil barbeque and played soccer at the backyard in the dark I head-butt someone's knee and had a concussion I think I became stupid after that 1 + 1 = 2811 FAIL!
Rushed home after that to watch the North Korea match Today the sofa is ALL MINE! I'm the King of the Sofa!
Nah nah nah.. More Jessy Bessy!

Lets take a look at the NEW OS 4.0 for iPhones Those of you who have no idea what is it Its a new operating system for iPhone users meaning the interface and functionality has some improvements
Ahh.. Wallpaper Background! Now for the rest of us non-cheapskates who do not support jail-breaking we can have wallpaper backgrounds as well Yes I've Narcissistic Personality Disorder you have a problem with that?
Multi-tasking Function You can double-click on your HOME button for a pop-up bar at the bottom which lets you multi-task between games and applications So now we don't have to open-open-close-close!
5X Digital Zoom Camera Yea.. Digital, not Optical So for the lazy or low-tech people who prefers not to crop their photos, here's the zoom
Actually thats about it how you multi-task is up to your creativity I'm not too sure whether or not it "eats" more battery But hey look! I can now Whatsapp and watch the sex scene in House of Flying Daggers at the same time! =D
