The world’s best pancake recipe.

Have you heard about the world’s best pancake recipe?

Well, I don’t know if the recipe really is the best in the world, but I’ve been using it (with modifications) for a couple of Sundays now, and it seems to work alright.

No pictures, unfortunately, but you may, if you wish, check out these awesome Japanese pancakes when you have the time.

Romano Ristorante.

Went there for lunch yesterday without reading any reviews; we wanted to try something different so we headed to the Jalan Leban area and browsed the restaurants before settling on Romano’s.

(via)

It was a good choice. I liked the:

Calzone with Mushrooms,
Bellini (some Italian soda concoction),
Marscapone Tiramisu.

For your info, the food was 3.5/5 quality. Having said that, the prices match the quality of the food so don’t go there expecting to be blown away.

What impressed me most (hence a blog post dedicated to it) was the service (obviously) – the staff members were friendly without being familiar; respectful without being obsequious; helpful without being intrusive.

Go there, now.

Okonomiyaki House Iroha 168.

Just another plug for a restaurant which offered food and service that I really enjoyed.

Food: I don’t have pictures of the food at the moment but trust me – the food rocks if you’re a fan of condiments unsparingly dribbled over your food. The chef fries a mean dish of shiitake mushrooms too.

Service: The defining moment of the service quality? When the Japanese chef came over to me to ask very politely if I would like bonito flakes on my vegetable pancake. I thought that was very astute of him, and I admire foresight in people.

Price: Don’t expect food court prices, but I don’t mind paying what I did (about $27.50 per person, inclusive of a tip) because the food and service made up for it. Nevertheless, DBS cardholders get 10% off the bill, so if you haven’t blindly cancelled yours, you know where to use it next

Are microwave ovens safe to use?

Laremy — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:38:12 +0000

Was having this discussion with my cousin and my sister over the weekend and decided to do some (not intensive) research on my own, because I have been using microwave ovens a lot more in recent years. For the convenience and all that jazz. Anyway, these are the only two articles I found which sound plausible i.e. the rest sound like they have an agenda to push:

The answer: I still don’t know. But I guess as with everything else, use microwaves ovens in moderation?

Didn’t manage to take pictures, but plugging this restaurant cos it’s really good. The food rocks, it’s value-for-money, service is good though the restaurant needs more staff, chairs and tables at the rate that business is increasing cos it’s got quite a name for itself now.

MAJOR SELLING POINT: Ask me in private and I’ll tell you. Heh heh heh…
