Hey kopi, obscure question but I'll try anyway..
Are you familiar with this chain of restaurants selling Boat noodles? In MBK alone there are 2 outlets - one in basement the other around 3rd fl. The decor of the restaurant usually has a big junk-like boat in it.
They serve noodles, rice, and in particular dry noodles with pork in this tangy spicey blackish sauce, and mixed pork dishes. I was wondering what that noodle dish was called? Come to think of it I can't figure out what the restaurant name is either, it's in Thai.
Cos I try to get that same noodle elsewhere but can't find from hawkersOriginally posted by kopiosatu:i don't care about the government. i just want my thai massage, cheap food and partying.
they can fight a war out there, i'll be minding my own business

You should do that when the time is right. Afterall, you sacrificed so much to get your qualification! It's time you reap the fruits of your labour after you've gained the necessary exposure and experience!

I always go to Bangkok to eat
1) Oyster omelet in Chinatown.
Makes the ones we ate at Newton seem ok only
2) Their braised pig trotter
Always tender and melt in the mouth
3) Their Zhu Za Soup coz there is pig's blood
4) Their roasted pork knuckles
5) Honey Roast Duck
6) Thai Tea
7) Thai Green Curry Thai Satay
Acckkkk just way too many to list!!!!!! -
i think u can't get any ticket for the train liao, the chinese govt put a cap on the no. of tickets to be sold to foreigners.Originally posted by elindra:

Sooner or later, NTUC is going to get lots of complains
The way on how they price their goods really cmi cos of them 'willingness' to give 'value' by introducing housebrands -
