"Ugly Ugly Ugly!!!"

Huge, succulent, juicy, and delicious.... That's what this burger is all about!

Hot Tomato's Hamburger

So Yuanbin was very kind to organize an exswoc outing someday last week.. As usual, everyone was late.. I was the stupid one that arrived 15 mins late.. should've made it an hour late....
But it was all worth it cz i get to spend some quality alone time with Yb, with him giving me some interesting updates...

I was starving and we went to this place called Hot Tomato at Plaza Singapura (where i ordered the burger above).

Name of Place: Hot Tomato
Location: Plaza Singapura Basement 2
Specialty: Western Food
Price Range: SGD10 - SGD15

Actually we randomly went in only.. I guess what made us went in was that unlike most of the other eateries on Basement2, HT had seats for us. Others were just booths and we wanted a place to talk cock.


Ambiance is not too bad.. at around 3pm, it was quiet which was good cz then you'll feel like you booked the entire place.. and also no staffs quickly trying to clear your plates and hinting you to get out...

Food wise is just mediocre. The burger was delicious, (prolly cz i was hungry) but i had better ones in carls junior.. Haha
They serve classic western food... from mushroom soup to caesar salad to chicken sandwiches to fish and chip.

Post Exam Day Three

...and the blogging continues....

So, the third day after the exam... and that seems long long long time ago.. anw, me and Jac went to Sentosa early in the afternoon...

I have trouble snapping a pic of the horizon without including a line of ships along it..quite sad really... Haha... wonder why still so many angmohs like to come here...

We decided to head for the Merlion tour cz there's really nothing else much to do...

The Merlion!

Entrance to the Merlion!!

Thanks to our islander cards, the admission fee for us is SGD6.40... Usual price is SGD8.00.


If ya dun have 8bucks to spend, here's how the inside of the merlion looks like....
First, y'all go thru a sort of zigzag walkway with posters and figurines everywhere...something like those carnival haunted house but with a much more pleasant atmosphere.

When u enter the merlion, the staff will give ya a merlion coin.. which they explained that it'll be useful later...

The Merlion Coin.

Then y'all will reach a dead end where u'll see this not-so-scary looking dragon.. and there's a timer counting down... U'll think that when the clock shows zero, the dragon will suddenly move, opens its big wide mouth and eat you up!!!! But no, thats not what happened... what happened is there's this door there and it will open to reveal a mini theater like a seminar room...

Mr. Dragon

Then you will watch a short clip explaining how the merlion comes about..

The Merlion looks abit ridiculous here.. and the audience laughed out...

Remember the merlion coin?? After u exit the mini theater, you will come to room with like 9 merlions there.. You're supposed to pick one of the them, insert your coin into their mouth.. and u will be rewarded with a piece of card.. It'll either be mystery gift A, B, or C. The staff said we can exchange it for our gift later in the souvenir shop.. Exciting huh!!


Then u'll come to the top of the head of the merlion, with a spectacular view!!







Next, u'll continue to go to the mouth gallery...

At the mouth gallery, u'll actually be standing inside the merlion's mouth (obviously) and there's a photographer there that will be taking everyone's photo.. His presence there was quite irritating actually cz then, one cant really spend their own sweet time at the mouth cz there're other ppl there and he HAS to take everyone's photo..


Presenting to you, my Mystery gift A:

An exclusive merlion fan!!! (wtf) Jac got a merlion handphone strap which is much nicer.. haha

Then, you exit and walk down the merlion walk....

The Merlion walk.

After Sentosa and a quick lunch which i cant remember where,.... Jac *ahem* the more intellectual *cough* one among the two of us.... suggested that we head for the National Library...

Haha suckers still gotta mug for their watever exam...

We were gonna meet pf and the gang for steamboat dinner at Bugis, so....

we borrowed the books that we cant finish reading...

Someone suggested movie after dinner....

...and the Cathay building we went...


While waiting for our movie, we went to a soyabean beancurd place at Selegie Road for supper..


Name of Place: Rochor Original Beancurd
Location: Selegie Road
Specialty: Late nite Soyabean & Beancurd at the back alleys

This is how freaking crowded it is at 11pm..

Yao Zha Guai.. thats how we call it in KL...

and 'Tao Fu Far'..

There have seats at the back alley of the building as well... although its dirty and everything.. ppl jus dont mind eating while looking at rats swifting past!! Cool!!
