Nantsuttei

Like i mentioned many times before, the Japanese just have us captive with all their fancy cuisine, fashion and stationery...

Only the japanese can put a picture like this of their founder and still have people flocking to queue up for their ramen.



There's a ramen craze sweeping town recently.. there used to be the one at Gallery Hotel, which i cant remember the name, then Tampopo, then Nantsuttei, then Ippudo, which i also just tried the other day. Very yummy but best to go before 12 noon on a weekday.

Town Councils

OMG.. I saw this piece of breaking news. Come on Straits Times, you’re just making things too obvious.

HDB residents can now gauge how well their town councils are doing their job, following the release of the first report card on the performance of the 16 councils in Singapore.

The two best performers are Ang Mo Kio-Yio Chu Kang led by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and Tanjong Pagar headed by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, according to the government's Town Council Management Report.

The two worst performers are run by the opposition: Hougang, by the Workers' Party's Low Thia Khiang, and Potong Pasir by the Singapore People's Party's Chiam See Tong.

Their low grades are due mainly to the bigger proportion of homes failing to pay their service and conservancy charges (S&CC) for at least three months.

But take away the level of arrears, and the gap between the performance levels of the councils run by the People's Action Party (PAP) and the opposition narrows significantly.

Peacocks

Saw some peacocks at this hotel i was at the other day. So many of them it looks a little scary.
