  • Multiple Menus At the Wedding Dinner

    This is just a short update to the post I made on the 4th about how great the wedding dinner we went to was.  I’d originally said that the fruit tray might have been leftover finger food brought in from the area outside the banquet hall.  Actually, there were multiple menus.  That makes a lot…

  • What Can I Expect in the Philippines?

    A guy I know told me he’s going to be making a trip to Davao in the Philippines and asked me if I’d been there, and what he could expect, and if I had any tips for him.  So, I gave him a quick heads up of what you should really keep an eye out…

  • Excuse Me Sir, But You Have Soup On Your Shirt

    I saw this set up at Bossini a few days ago in some mall or another.  I don’t remember where.  At first I was like, hey that’s pretty neat.  I looked at the shirts and I was even thinking it was pretty cool.  Then I realized that it was a move to pull in suckers.…

  • Coconut Cakes

    I’ve posted about these before but it was a long time ago. These are treats you can get from a small push-cart vendor in Food Republic at Vivocity. They’re incredibly delicious but the reason I felt it was worth posting about again is that I found out that they’re Indonesian treats. The maid where we…

  • Cool Tree Sculpture at Vivocity Mall in Singapore

    My wife and I were at Harbourfront to meet a friend for dinner. She is visiting from the US on a business trip. She spent the day at Sentosa and while we were waiting for her we took a look around Harbourfront Mall. We’ve been all around Vivocity but we didn’t realize there was another…

  • Singapore Wedding Dinners Kick Ass

    So, a guy where my wife works got married in May.  Tonight he had his celebration dinner.  I was thinking it would be a small thing.  A get together of a few friends and office colleagues.  I thought wrong. This celebration was held at the Furama Hotel in Chinatown here in Singapore.  They really went…

  • MSG By The Bag

    Well, I was pretty busy today and I’m getting ready to leave for a wedding, so instead of along post, I’ll just post this: MSG, which has known negative health effects, can be bought by the bag here.  I always thought the stuff was illegal in the US, but I can’t seem to find any…

  • Typhoon Ondoy Aftermath, More Disaster

    (Image via bardagols on Flickr) The aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy is turning into a huge disaster.  I’ve been hearing bits and pieces of news and I figured I’d try to put it all together here.  It’s very disheartening to say the least.  Of course, you can’t expect a lot of good news in the middle…

  • Delicious Mooncakes!

    Ok, so before I came to Singapore, if you’d asked me if I wanted a Moon Cake, I would’ve thought you were joking.  It sounds like something out of a fairy tale.  Moon Cakes, fairies, magic mushrooms… you get the point. But, lo and behold, there are in fact moon cakes and they are… very…

  • Absurd Toy Depicting Animal Cruelty

    I’m not a seriously active animal activist… that’s a weird sentence… but I have two cats, and in the future hope to have a dog too. I love my pets and try to take care of them, and the idea of animal cruelty disturbs me. This toy disturbs me as well. I found the image…
