Empurau Treat @ 旺星(六福)酒家 Pandan Lake Seafood Village

Thanks to Teow Oei for inviting me for this fish tasting session and I was glad to meet James Wong the master of all these fishes. With us is my buddy Joe aka Jotaro Zen

This Empurau fish costs more than ten thousand Ringgit and it from Sibu Sarawak.

James breeds many type of fishes, his tilapia are as heavy as 4 kg and definitely big for a tilapia fish. As for this food tasting he prepared a salt baked dish.

Together with us is a group of friends from a Chinese media.

The skin was carefully removed by James and was then ready for the tasting. I like it. It was fresh sweet and juicy in the inside. Good leh!

James took me to his kitchen and showed me the fishes that we will be eating later. He asked me the smell the emparau fish, a bit shock and out of courtesy I smelled it and surprisingly it had a good aroma....

There were two type of catfishes that we will be eating one of them from Laos and another a local bred.

James discussing with his chef as how he wanted the fishes to be prepared....

The highlight of the evening, the Empurau fish merely steamed with a slight doses of salt and nothing more, incredibly tasty.  It had a sweet creamy taste, I like it.

The scale is so soft that it is eatable.

The two different type of catfishes on the table, Loas versus Malaysian.

My tummy was already full and yet James took out a plastic bag of fresh oysters from China and he going to served again..

Braised fresh and raw fish maw. The taste was absolutely different from the dried type, it was very creamy and sticky...ready stick to your mouth. I think one requires a period of time to acquire such taste especially for the first time.

Here comes the oysters from China served on a hot plate still big and succulent.

The other half portion was prepared in deep fried version which was supposed to pair with our beer.

I have never eaten so much fishes in one meal and these were expensive particularly empurau. Thanks to James & Oei for their kind invitation and it was a memorable meal for me.

Soon this restaurant will be shifting to a new place as the present one has been sold for a development.

A Day Before OCBC Cycle Singapore 2013 for a Mini Tour

A trip that was planned a couple of of months ago and eventually I am back to the City of Lion for another adventure. I started from Sindor Road and the time was 6am.

The first place I had to find was Nex Mall @ Serangoon where I supposed to meet LK Tan & two lady riders from Kuala Lumpur.

I managed to find Nex Mall without any difficulty and had ample time for a breakfast. I found a Food Court next to the mall where I ordered a Singapore Prawn Mee (with pork ribs added). The taste was reasonably good.

Here come the power ladies Kellie & Suit Yan.

This is Tan, my counter part in Singapore.

We bumped into Kevin at mid-way riding whom we were supposed to meet at F1 Bldg. Then came the rain as forecast. We were so near the meeting point yet so far from the building.

Eventually all met up at Singapore Flyer together including Patrick Soh & Kenny Wong, all waiting eagerly for the rain to stop.

 Joe & myself took the opportunity to collect our goodies from the collection centre.

Finally the rain stopped and we were all set to go.

I was lucky to meet Woon Tai Woon on our way out off the building, I hope we can meet again in the near future either in Singapore or Kuala Lumpur.

Security measures at the Marina Bay was very tight as expected.

We took a brief rounding the vicinity with many photos taken for remembrance.

We maneuvered attentively out of the centre city via Geylang and Hougang towards north.

An amazing super clean back lane of the shop houses of Paya Lebar.

Kellie needed to pump air into her tryes and an expert to adjust her handle. This particular man in blue did it all these for free it is unbelievable. I was impressed with his generosity and I salute to him.

At last we reached the PCN (Park Connector Network) of Serangoon.

We were impressed with PCN, such a lovely set up for cycling. 

Our hero came to a rescue for a girl fallen and needed first aid badly and Patrick was the man, good and well equipped. Well done Pat!!!

This is a public toilet with external metal cladded finish that is clean, attractive with free drinking water fountain for you to refill.

A bridge that can lead to Changi & East Coast unfortunately that was not in our plan and hence I shall be back for this bridge in the near future.

These dames were having a photography session and were sporting enough to allow me to take a snap with them.

 Some of the scenes at the Park Connector Network.

We ended our riding adventure at this building "North Star" @ Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 where we completed with a makan together before we splitted our own way back.

A total of 58.17km that I have completed for the day from Sindor and back to Sindor.

The route we took from Marina bay to Punggol and its surroundings.

I enjoyed riding in Singapore and there are still plenty to conquer and I hope to come back for more.
