| Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room 湾仔香港奶茶店  Prior to penning this entry, I thought that I would have nothing good to say about Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room at Bishan. Afterall, most of the results that turned up on google gave it the thumbs down. From the service to the food, nothing seems to please the reviewers. I was bewildered because this was my third visit to Wan Chai (my first two visits were at the IMM outlet) but all my experiences were quite satisfactory. Contrary to what most of the reviewers said about their staffs, I find the aunties friendly and courteous. The cashier repeated what we ticked on the menu to confirm our orders while the waitress who served us often dropped by our table to check on us and to make small talk. Some people may not like that but I feel it's all part of the cha chaan teng culture. I noticed that the younger staffs tend to be more aloof compared to the aunties but to be fair, as far as I can see, they were quite efficient with their duties. | | |
| Happy Papas' Day
This was a belated post from last Saturday. We were at Zhou's Kitchen
situated at Jurong Point to celebrate Papas' Day. It was my first trip
there since the opening of the new wing and I totally lost my way
inside while trying to meet up with the rest of the clan at the
restaurant. There was a huge water feature at the front of the restaurant, pushing
the rest of the dining area to the back which, I feel is a waste of
space. They could have fully utilise the space and fill it up with a
couple more tables.

| Neda's Death A few days ago, my dad walked through the door and spoke frenziedly about this video of an Iran woman who was shot and later died, with blood pouring from her gaping wound. Over the next several days, I read about Neda from the newpapers about how she was shot after getting down from the car for a breather where a riot was taking place nearby. What grappled me was that the police did not return her body to her family and buried her without their consent. The government banned all mourning ceremonies at the mosques and the police kept Neda's friends away from consoling her family. Yet, the most outrageous thing was that the family were being forced out of their apartment by the authorities! | | |
