Is It Good??

Sin Heng Kee Porridge

I was reading that Sin Heng Kee porridge at Chong Pang is pretty good. So I made a trip down. Due to Covid, they only do take away business. I was there on a weekend 2pm, it is pretty quiet. So when I walked in to order, they immediately cook it. I waited for about 5 mins for my porridge to be cooked. I ordered their signature porridge which is everything in. You have liver, pork, cuttlefish etc.. It costs $6. Seems a bit steep. Is it good? Yes! It is very tasty. Not too bland, not too salty. It is usually not easy to get the correct liver tenderness cooked. Most of the time, the liver I ate is overcooked when it is pretty hard. But this time, it is chewy. The cuttlefish is also very chewable.

SIM Fried Carrot Cake

I keep hearing rave reviews of SIM fried carrot cake at Blk 618 Yishun Coffee shop. So I go there early on Sunday morning 720am and guess what? I still need to wait for 45 mins! This is how popular it is. Anyway, is it good? The carrot cake really smell nice! The chai poh is not too salty. The carrot cake is not too oily and not too dry. So the taste is pretty good. But is it a “45 mins wait” good? I dun think so. Though it is nice, I dun feel it is out of this world taste for a good 45 mins or even 30 mins wait. So is good for those who is very free to wait or living nearby. $3.50 per pack.

Sembawang Claypot Rice

Today feel like eating claypot rice. So decided to try Sembawang Claypot rice. I was there on Saturday morning 1130am. There are not many people. I order two items. The first is their signature chicken claypot rice. The next is another their signature san lou fried bee hoon. Is it good? Their claypot rice I feel is a bit too over burnt. Some might like the burnt taste but I feel it is too much and mask the fragrance taste. The fried bee hoon on the other hand is pretty good. It is not too dry and chewy. The portion is pretty good and the small can be good for sharing of 2 pax. Price is pretty OK. But beware of a long wait. I waited like 30 mins for my food to arrive. Imagine if it is a peak time.

Food People Oyster Mee Sua

When I suddenly miss Taiwan 阿中糆线 one day, I so happen to see this brand, Food People, mee sua in Tampines Mall NTUC. So I decided to buy and try. Is it good? I would say it is very nice! Taste like those in Taiwan. It is not too starchy and the mee sua is pretty soft. It is pretty easy to cook but the whole package is good for 6 bowls. So if you decide to cook, best to have at least 4 pax eating if you are not a big eater. It costs $5.95. So meaning per bowl is just less than a dollar. Super worth.

TPG

The fourth telco here has launched one of the cheapest sim only plan. For $10 per month, you will get a no contract 50GB data, 30 SMS, free incoming, 30 mins outgoing, free 1GB selected country roaming, free caller ID. So it it good? The price is very attractive but got two main down sides. 1. Underground reception is very bad. I was at a underground carpark and my Starhub is full but my TPG is nil in reception. 2. You need a VoLTE enabled phone to make phone call. So if your phone is not, you only can use as a data plan. So if you using as a dual sim, more for data and seldom underground, TPG is perfect. Please note that you only can apply online and collect on site

Mister Mobile

Lately I dropped my Mate 20x and the screen cracked. But that is not the biggest issue. The issue is the display went blank! The electronic is still functioning well. Why I know ismy alarm still buzzing away but I cannot not shut it down or turn it off cos the screen is blank. As I want to retrieve some data in my phone, I decided to fix it. After a few rounds of in depth research, I found Mister Mobile repair shop. It has some rave reviews online. I contacted them and they confirmed there are stocks for my screen though it is not common. So is it good? I made an appointment and got it fixed in less than two hours! The price seems reasonable considering my whole screen and lcd panel is gone. They are pretty professional and not pushy. Their testing is pretty thorough. Overall, I would say it is good.

Samsung Digital Lock 609

I am using Samsung digital lock model SHP-DP609. It is the latest model in the market. Is it good? The design is premium and it is very simple to use. It also has many good security features. But it is not reliable! Installed barely 7 months and the front panel got issue. The service guy told me apparently it is a very common problem! So if it happens out of the warranty period, it can cost you easily $200 to get it replaced! So I think the moral of story is always not to get the latest model. Get one generation backward. It is more stable.

Toblerone Cheesecake

I saw this selling in Sheng Siong @ $9.90. Is it good? The cheesecake is made up of three layers. The top layer is the Toblerone chocolate. The middle layer is the cheesecake. The bottom layer is the biscuit. Overall, it tastes like eating the chocolate with the cheesecake. It tastes pretty OK. The chocolate is crunchy and cheesecake is cheesy. Whahaha. But if you eat separately, the biscuit bottom tastes bitter and not nice. So a bit minus points.

Magnolia Brown Sugar Milk

Magnolia released a so call limited edition milk. It is brown sugar with sea salt. It launched like in May but is out of stock everywhere. Finally, now the supply has keep up with the demand. So it is good? It is pretty tasty. Taste like chendol with milk with the gula melaka. It is pretty refreshing. But it is not cheap though. $4.50 per litre.

Causeway Point

Just went to Causeway Point. They closed a lot of car parks and the force you to go through their entrance at level 2 when you park at level 4. No indication where to go by stairs and make you walk along the carpark. Just pure dumb.
