Samy's Curry Restaurant
Sammy's Curry sells Indian Curry Cuisine
Its pretty good. Mag and Lucas brought us to this place. It was previously at some Civil Service building but moved to Dempsey Road. It was pretty nice. There is Long Beach (Seafood) as well as La Salon or Fondue? something like that. I think they all serve beer =)
And this is the counter. They have actually been around for quite a while. Don't be fooled by the lack of people, this was early evening, by 7 the place is actually fully seated.
Pictured here is dish Lucas and Mag wanted us to try. The curry fish head!! It was fresh and the taste was pretty good. So its not too bad really. The type of fish used could be better, but in terms of taste and cooking it is pretty good =) Actually for curry fish head the key is to use fresh fish and not to over cook it, and the fish's taste will win the bulk of the points ;)
And this is Teh Halia. Or milk tea with ginger. Its pretty nice!
Overall the place was pretty nice, i like the environment and if I drove or if I wanted to go somewhere a little different but safe, this place fits the bill =)
So there you have it Samy's Curry Restaurant

So this is the entrance. I did'nt take the surrounding view but I probably should have. Its nice and deserted *cozy* ;) well its where the posh people live and hang out. So its cool. There are actually alot of customers, so for such an ulu place, it must be quite well known. But you really need a car or at least a taxi.
The chilli mutton pictured at the extreme right corner is rather fierce =) But nice. Recommended if you like spicy and enjoy a good challenge =) Its yummy too of course. I like it with rice, the rice helps to tone it down somewhat, but you still get the taste. Without rice it is quite fierce =)
The chicken is sweetish actually. So its kinda weird. Not bad, but a little weird =)
The mushy vegetables are actually quite good. Its Dhal.

AMK-Bishan Park
So today me and my sis decided to see what up at Ang Mo Kio - Bishan park and some water thing was built recently (also the "part II" of the bishan park renovations had not been completed for some time). In fact. Many times when a friend gave me a ride home, one of the questions was whether the park renovations had completed.... So it was something of some amount of interest to me ... and I guess a few other people =P
Below you see.... *drum roll* the sign board
Well to be honest it was'nt all that exciting. (Well now, is a park supposed to be exciting... ah well... we got spoilt by the part I of the park renovations I think). They essentially shifted the soccer fields from the first half to the second half. The second half looked somewhat levelled, which was a pity since part of its charm in the past was that it sported a quiet path which you could walk through to a pavilllion. Now it is just leveled ground until you reach the water playground (pictured below) and something of a pavillion. Its not as pretty as the old one I feel. But I am a sucker for old stuff so I am biased =P
The skies were pretty. Speaking of which thee was a cold breeze today. So it was strange. I hope its not due to the recent breakaway glaciers.
And here we have the water playground. Which does'nt really look like much here (we did'nt think it looks like much either but on closer look, it was'nt too bad). The water playground actually sports a few mini water slides and a bath thingy. The only gross thing was that one kid was on a higher level playing in a small pool thing. But the water cascades down and.... you know what, two kids were drinking the water. *sighz* other than that i thnk it looked like great fun for the kids. The slides and pools are too small for adults. So its really a place for parent to meet, chat and let the kids have fun. The water only runs on weekends. Week days, the water runneth dry baby doll. Have fun =)
With that we headed back. But I'm pretty sure there is a park connector some where =) So stay tuned!

Farmstay in Singapore =) oh and Ginza is open
This should be rather fun.
My previous company had a trip to a farm as well. I believe it was bollywood veggies =)
The land is leased by the way, but the terms are'nt too bad as they are encouraging farms.
What I remembered of the place was that it was rustic and I believe there is a tour of the place. You were also allowed at some points to actually pick some of the vegetation.
Other interesting things at that time included the use of plants naturally to ward of mosquitoes =)
The other thing "of note" is that Ginza is open!~!!! Star Bucks is serving, not that i drink starbucks coffee, but I know of colleagues who describe mac coffee as swill who would drive down faithfully every morning for their daily juice =)
Oh and its no longer called Ginza / Ginza Plaza, but the name is now West Coast Plaza ... it being in West Coast and not Japan and all.... lol
