Big prawns & salmon from wet market

The prawns were purchased from the wet market this morning. Eleven pieces (500 grams) cost $13 which is not too expensive. The salmon was also bought from the same market for $ 3 a piece (total $6) Will cook them this evening...more to be posted soon.

After cooking and having them for my dinner (below pictures).

The prawns were cooked Sichuan style and the salmon was grilled. I also have a small bowl of vegetable soup. The starchy rice was from Japan.

Sushi Express going full steam ahead

Sushi Express's crowd and queue was long throughout the whole day. Just look at the photo which I snapped from the upper floor. the offer of $1 a plate of sushi ends this evening. Are the people queueing up because the sushi is good or because it is cheap? We will know the answer by Monday.

Sushi Express special offer

When I arrived at 10:55am this morning all the customers of Sushi Express were already seated and eating. The opening time is 11am but the staff was welcoming its customers at 1050am I was told. The place was already full by 11am and I could not find a seat available so I postponed my visit till this afternoon. The special offer of $1 per plate of all kinds of sushi is from 3 to 5 Dec, 11am till 10pm (U.P. is $1.50). Well done Sushi Express!

No All Toast Box Coffee Are Good

I have tasted the coffee or kopi at various Toast Box outlets in Singapore and 1 in Johore Bahru.
Not all the coffee served are nice and aromatic. It mostly depends on the coffee baristas. Most do not care how the coffee they make would taste to their customers. The one in JB was the worst.
The outlet in JB was run-downed with the paint on the tables and chairs peeling off.

The tall and rather plump male barista at the newly opened Seletar Mall made the worst coffee. The best coffee that I've come across was made by a petite lady named Lucy at the Greenwich V.
If the coffee is not good why pay $1.80 for a cup when you can have one from NTUC Foodfare for only 70 cts (which is quite good)?

Sushi@ $1 per plate from 3 to 5 Dec

Din Tai Fung: no vote from me,disappointing

Din Tai Fung is supposedly one of the top 10 best Chinese restaurants but I found it disappointing in terms of the quality of its food. They are bland and tasteless to me but for others the food may taste good. Besides the food is expensive. For the 2 of us we spent $54. We did not finish all the food as the 2nd top picture shows (we don't even want to tar pow the balance).
Frankly, we prefer the food in restaurants like Canton Paradise and Paradise Inn. I don't think I will ever pay another visit to DTF. Sayoranna Din Tai Fung or DTF!
