Updates...

A short & concise update for this week:

1. Well Jo's weight still hovering between 37-39kg currently.
2. She's developed some aches and pains in her right rib cage and lower back area.
3. Legs are weak.
4. Fever has been reduced significantly to every 12 hrs now. Amen!
5. Appetite is still fine.
6. Foodplaces we've tried these past few days:

a. Xiang Xiang Nasi Lemak (below left)
Tanjong Pagar Market Foodcourt (2nd Level), Unit #02-08?
Verdict: Value for $$$ @ only $2 per nasi lemak. Rice, otah, chicken, fishcake and chilli! Fantastic. See the queue below! Waited some 25 mins.

















b. Jubilee Restaurant (above right)
745 North Bridge Road #01-01. Opening hours: 11:30am - 8pm daily.
Verdict: Followed this lead to try our taste buds on a "solid" dish of dum bryani but
it turned out too be just ok only. Rice was good - flavourful and fragrant, but chicken was too dry. Overall the boss was very nice and hospitable. Clap clap! Location is very near the Sultan mosque.

c. Ipoh's Sambal Crayfish Noodles
Crosspoint Coffeeshop 240 Tanjong Katong Road (S) 437028. Opens: 10.30am to 3pm, 5.30 to 9pm; closed on Sundays
Verdict: Didn't turn out as good as the reviews (Straits Times life...) claimed. $4-5 per bowl. The dark sauce was not "saucy" and not flavoursome enough. Crayfish was fine... I guess kudos to the 29 year old for innovativeness...

d. Dona Manis Cake Shop.
Katong Shopping Center B1-93 Tel: 6440 7668
Verdict: It's like walking into another era...read this link... http://wineanddine.asiaone.com.sg/reviews/cafes/20061029_001.html

e. Superdog @ Vivocity basement (below)
Verdict: Overall nice seating area. Chillies quite salty, hot dog was ok. Frankly a little over priced for a hot dog (starts from $3.20 to 7.50!). Besides you have to add $3 bucks for a "meal" (add on fries + drink) I had the Superdog (bratwurst sausage) and Jo had the Bacon Chili Cheese. I remember the fabulous US$1 foot long hot dogs available at the mega warehouse super marts such as Cosco and Sam's Club in the US. Those were simply fabulous!!
