Prelude to F1

This is quite a be-lated post, all thanks to Blamer for hoarding onto the photos. The biggest sporting event in Singapore this year-- F1 Grand Prix in Singapore!!!

Blamer wanted to recce the circuit before the actual event, hence here's us pretending like tourists to check out the circuit.

When we were walking to esplanade from Blamer's office, we chance upon the Williams team moving their machine to the track.

Now this is really a close up look at the mean machine.

Moving closer to the esplanade, we spotted the empty ticketing booth.

The signs to direct the tourists on the actual day.

So where should we go???

We were not even there yet, but Blamer was captivated by the scenery behind and insisted that we take a pic first. Notice all the lamp posts on the flyover. Those are part of the track too.

By the way, the signs were really big, here's a pic with Blamer as the scale for comparison. Hee hee.

Finally, we reached the track. Notice the sky has darken. Quite a long walk from Blamer's office actually. Nevertheless, Blamer was really happy to be able to stand in the middle of the road like queen like tat.

So I must experience the "King of the road" feeling too right?

King and Queen... (A helpful tourist using the same camera model as us took this pic for us, so 巧)

Nice skyline at the back right? But I think the drivers won't really have the time to enjoy all these views.

A pic of the grand stand and the barricade

NOooo! Dun separate Blamer and me : (

Finally reached the Marina grand stand i.e FOOD!

All I got for accompanying Blamer on such a long walk.

三人行

Yaozu jio-ed us for dinner after work on a weekday. Normally, I won't entertain such last minute date but since this came from Yaozu, 我就破例一次, haha. See, Yaozu, 你有多大的魅力!

After 15 minutes of discussion, we finally embarked to Raffles City for Out-of-the-Pan.

Located in the middle of the fountain, this is quite a popular place to dine in, especially when you don't mind people looking at you while they are going up/down the escalator. To quote from Yaozu "我不习惯有那么多人盯着我吃饭."

Once again, it's time to cam-whore while waiting for the food.

Take 1: Yaozu nv smile leh ... don't like to take pics with me is it? >_<
Take 2: That's better, haa....

And it seems like Leecher got "jealous" .....

不爽? 生气?

Ok la, take picture with my dear Leecher. He is all smiley again :)

This restaurant is famous for their crepes, which personally I love the peking duck. The crepes are quite light, yet sufficient to fill your stomach.

Both Leecher and me went for the chef recommendation. I ordered Beef & Bell pepper crepe (above) while Leecher took the seafood jungle (below)

Meanwhile, Yaozu decided to be different and opt for the Nowegian salmon :P

Leecher ordered the kampong chicken as starter. Tastes very much like satay though.


Time to dig in *attack*

Lastly, ended the night with fruity cheese, slice of cheese cake toppled with strawberries. Great food and good company = hearty meal!

Founder Bak Kut Teh

One lazy evening, mummy feeling lazy, decided not to cook dinner. Hence it's eating out again.

This time we decided to source out some authentic local cuisine like this Founder Bak Kut Teh.

Just look at the queue. We were not even near to the doorstep of the shop. The Bak Kut must be good.

Decided to cam-whore while waiting for our turn.

Roger and Xiufeng provided the transport. As you can see, the shop is located at the roadside, like those Geylang area, not really accessible if u take public.

Apparently, Roger got tired of waiting... ...

Finally, we got into the shop and wow! All the walls are plastered with photos of celebrities with the owner. Local and foreign stars alike. Some of the more famous ones like Taiwan girl band S.H.E and Energy. Even the famous Director Lee Ann tasted their Bak Kut Teh!

I couldn't wait for the food to come after standing in the queue for so long.

Blamer was so happy when her rice came.

The famous Bak Kut Teh. Quite peppery, but I think the Song Fa's version tasted better.

Other condiments to go with the soup includes 油条

Braised groundnuts

Preserved vege.

Pig's innards soup

Beancurd skin

And pig's trotter! Blamer's favourite. (always wonder how someone who like eating 猪脚 can remain so thin)

What a spread!

No time to talk le, ATTACK!

My Wall-E cup, So happy :) Thanks v much for this!
