紫菜豆腐皮鱼炖汤

干炒面线

咸蛋炒虾球

紫菜豆腐皮鱼炖汤，香港的炖汤，真的“无得彈”，好喝！
干炒面线，香港面线比我们的粗，偏咸。

咸蛋炒虾球，竟然偏甜，

所以，炒面线和炒虾球一起吃，刚刚好。:)

5) 坤記

深水埗福華街115-117號

砵仔糕

终于吃到“久仰大名”的香港砵仔糕，很开心耶！
其实，很像我们的碗仔糕，黄糖口味加红豆糕。
我嫌它的红豆有点硬，软点的话，我会更喜欢，呵呵！

6）公和荳品廠
深水埗北河街 118 號

豆浆 + 双拼(煎饟豆腐, 煎饟豆腐卜)

豆浆有点甜，下次我要喝无糖的。
煎饟豆腐，酿料只有薄薄一片在白豆腐上面，大片一点一定更好吃。酿料有点特别，加了橙皮。豆腐好滑好嫩，豆花应该也很好吃 :)
煎饟豆腐卜，我比较喜欢。豆腐卜，最怕就是太硬，这个完全没有“硬”的问题，有小时候的味道，就像以前在金宝祖母家吃的豆腐卜。但是，豆腐卜的酿料，吃完三片，我还是不太知道它是啥！？很像是薯粉，因为咬下去，是黏黏的，但是又好像有一些其它材料，总之就是没吃出来。:p

7) Maria's Bakery 超羣西餅

7.15am-11pm daily

流沙包

雞蛋仔

我在超群买了蛋挞，鸡尾包和鸡蛋仔。
从照片可以看到鸡蛋仔和流沙包，是在特定时间才出炉或售卖的。

流沙包，卖完了，3.30pm才出炉，我要赶回去上课，没法等，可惜。
鸡蛋仔，刚好开始售卖了，我是第二个顾客，不用等太久。有没看到，已经有人在排队了。先排队下order，付钱拿号码。号码到了，才拿货。鸡蛋仔，有点像我们的waffle。可能因为它的形状，圆形的，外面一层皮，包着圆圆的面粉糕（像蛋黄）所以叫鸡蛋仔。我可是边走边买边吃的，已经没有多余的手拍照了。哈哈，鸡蛋仔，我喜欢。
鸡尾包，馅料是奶油和椰丝。奶油味很重，面包入口即溶，很好吃。比翡翠麦包的，好吃太多了，都不会太甜。
蛋挞，这家的不是酥皮，是那种比较硬的饼皮。蛋很香，可惜饼皮太厚了，薄些一定很好吃。

8）许留山

这是我在香港最爱的甜品，呵呵！
因为真的太多好东西要吃，已经没时间慢慢品尝，只好当外卖，哈哈，打包回房间吃。

右边的是杨枝金露。左边的，不记得名字了，也是有芒果的，它多了一些椰肉，没了柚子。

美食介绍完了，下一篇要讲讲我买回家的手信咯！:)

香江美食之旅（一）

第三次去香港，第二次去HIT培训。
香港的食物超想念。。。点心。所以，放下行李，就冲到铜锣湾凤城酒家！

1）鳳城酒家饮茶
銅鑼灣百德新街24-32號名珠城2樓

蛋煎糯米饭









蒸排骨









流沙包

虾饺皇

鱼翅灌汤饺 (忘记拍照了）

香港点心，超好吃！有幸福的感觉！
蛋煎糯米饭，很特别，就是糯米饭的两面沾蛋酱来煎，所以有蛋香味，很好吃。
蒸排骨，对这点心，没研究，但是CC说，排骨很嫩，够味道，好吃。
流沙包，我的最爱，很想念啊！里面的流沙，其实是咸蛋黄，咸中带甜，所以不腻，真的很想它啊！
虾饺皇，超赞！虾仁爽口，鲜甜，很美味就对了！
鱼翅灌汤饺，里面真的有鱼翅。但是我觉得，可能有加一些粉丝，不可能都是鱼翅。味道就像吃鱼翅汤，就想象一下干的鱼翅汤包成饺子。

2) 港澳義順牛奶公司
銅鑼灣駱克道506號地下

冰花炖鸡蛋

巧手姜汁炖鲜奶

炖蛋和姜汁撞奶是香港特有的甜点。
吃起来就像吃豆花，香滑可口，没了豆味，替代的是蛋味和奶味。
我其实没有很爱这道甜品，吃多会腻。
就因为是香港特有的，所以还是值得一试地。

3）東寶小館 北角渣華道99號渣華道市政大廈2樓

Tel: 2880 9399

5.30pm-12midnight

南乳炸豬手

青红萝卜炖汤

墨魚墨汁意粉

甜品（姜汁仙草西米露）

这个是很道地的香港餐馆。就是说很多香港人会光顾的地方。
要排队，拿号码的，如果你走开了，错过你的号码要重新排队哦。
那天还有外国录影队在录影呢，所以知名度不用多提了。
其实，这餐没有很满足，可能食物不是很合胃口吧。

炸猪手，很香，都是胶原蛋白。可是，对于我，一个超怕肥肉的人，胶原蛋白就像肥肉。多希望，这些猪手能多一点瘦肉。
青红萝卜炖汤，这个算是这餐最满意的了，典型广东汤，清甜可口，好喝！
墨魚墨汁意粉，漆黑一片，哈哈，味道怪怪，有点腥，吃了嘴唇、牙齿、舌头都脏脏的。应该不会试第二次 :P
甜品是赠品，姜汁仙草西米露是我取的，因为有仙草，sagu，和超浓的姜味。第一口吃下去，差点要喷出来。哈哈，我平时喝的仙草是甜的，这个很辣啦。但是吃多几口，还是觉得挺不错，呵呵，所以走之前，多吞了一些。

重新出发

哇！偷懒了快要两个月，长满蜘蛛网了，让我先洗刷刷一下，呵呵！

好，搞定，随便洗洗就好，别太累坏自己 :p

这些日子，其实也没闲着。继续打蔬果汁，喝蔬果汁，希望越来越健康。
健康之路还很长，但是，却先瘦了下来。妈妈强烈抗议！
然而，自己却是挺开心的。
可以说我从来没有如此“瘦”过。而且是健康的，长久的。

我也去了一趟KL，哇，见了好多老朋友，聊了好多事情，分享了很多心情，真的好开心。
想念你们哦，超想回流的 :p

前几天，去了香港，培训。
遇见很多“老同学”，哈哈，网友等，一年见一次，其实是挺享受这短暂的见面。
今年应该是最后一次，明年应该不会去了，留下的美好回忆，回味无穷！
除此之外，香港的食物好好吃阿！！
下一篇，就写香港美食了，啊，我已经流口水了，哈哈。

Bus Service 171 (3)

Because I'm really pissed off by the letter.
I reply with the letter as follow, haha not mean at all right?
Guess no more response from them, let's wait for 1 month :)

Hi Ms. Ang,
Thanks for the reply, after 1 month.
I tried to understand that the situation is under your control, but from what I see in the pass 1 month, I can't convince myself.
Bus 171 continue to be late, waiting time of 20 mins is normal, happen 2-3 times per week.
If the waiting time for that morning is 15mins, I will feel extremely happy for that day.

About the traffic congestion, etc, thanks for explaning to me. This "reason" did slip my mind, I just try to bring the problem up, hopefully something can be done at your side. Well seems like NOTHING can be done. I wonder how can the bus in Japan or Hong Kong can be so punctual. Guess this country don't have traffic problem!?

Just FYI, a lot of the passengers of 171 have find their alternative to get to their destination. I guess I need to find MY way to solve MY problem.Good luck with the under control situation.

regards,
SN

Dear Shih Nyien
Thank you for your feedback regarding bus service 171.
We apologise for the incident that you encountered on 12 February 2009.
We shared your frustration that sometime the service is delayed and certainly agree that good schedule adherence is critical. Please be assured that where it is within our control, we have been and are continuing to try our very utmost to minimise disruptions> and improve the frequency when necessary.

With regard to two buses arrive almost the same time, we wish to explain that such situation occurs when the first bus gets caught in traffic congestion, causing it to be behind scheduled time and in turn picks up more passengers resulting in the headway to be lengthened further. The second bus which may not be caught by traffic congestion as traffic is easing out would then "catch up" with the first bus and would seem relatively empty when compared, due to lesser passengers boarding this bus.

We seek your understanding on this matter and thank you for writing in.

Yours sincerely
Ang Siew Tee (Ms)
Senior Officer, Customer Relations

Bus Service 171 (1)

Until now I never complain about Singapore transportation, because is really much better than Malaysia. ~15mins waiting time and the punctuality is +/-5mins. Good enough right?
But recently I wrote a complain letter, because I waited more than 25mins, somebody else waited 40mins, and this is not the 1st time, so I write the letter. Surprisingly, nobody replied me after waiting for few days. Then I made a conclusion, every country is the same. The feedback link in the website is just meant to complete the format of a website.

I attached the letter as below.
But the peak of this matter is, I got a response recently, I will attached the letter too, then you know why I say PEAK!

Subject: Feedback about Punctuality of Bus 171

To Whom who concern,

I'm a regular bus 171 passenger, take this bus everyday during weekday.
Recently, the punctuality of this bus is getting worst.
The waiting time is at least 15mins. All this happen after SMRT change the old bus with new bus.

I really appreacite that SMRT upgrading their bus to a newer one. Although its not really more spacious but at least the passenger no need to worry that the bus breakdown half way.
During the transistion time from old bus to new bus, the waiting time actually improve to 10mins, but it become worst when all the old bus is eliminated.

Today I have the worst experience.
Not even single bus apprear after I waited from 7.25am until 7.50am. 25mins of waiting time and this is the peak periods where everybody is rushing to work!!!I over heard a conversation of a passenger that take the same bus with me. He has been waiting since 7.10am! So the waiting time is 40mins, is this acceptable?? You can image how packed in this bus with this kind of delay. I got into the bus at Bukit Panjang Plaza bus stop, and the bus already full!! There are another 4 bus stops before the bus leaving Bukit Panjang to Yishun, image how worried for a passenger that cannot get into the bus!?
Is this kind of "improvement" that we are talking about? I remember that somebody did mention that waiting time should be decrease to 10mins, what happen now?
The worst things is when I alight at North Point bus stop, I see another bus 171 right behind and the number of passenger inside is so much lesser. I always wonder, shouldn't SMRT setup some kind of communication system between bus driver of same number. For example in this kind of situation, the bus driver can inform the passenger that there is another bus coming 5mins later, instead of just asking the passenger to "move inside" "move inside"

I really hope that you can look into this and improve the service. I think the punctuality in Japan and Hong Kong are really good examples.

Thank you.

regrads,
SN

Detoxination Day 7

6 Mar 2009

Yesterday night sleep is not as good as I think, woke up ~2pm, because of the gas. Woke up again ~6pm (anyway is time for me to wake up too) to do big business. Anyway, still consider ok, as it was not torturing :)

Breakfast was again banana blended soy milk.
Lunch was vegitarian rice: steamed brown rice, long bean, chinese spinach (苋菜) and vegitarian fish.
Dinner was again 消化美肤蔬果汁 (~3cups) and also a mini chicken potato bun.

Feelings:
Still got gases, fart but not bloated anymore, actually the feeling is better compare to the pass few days.

Wrap up:
Today is the last day of the detoxination process.
Although it is not an enjoyable time, I did learn something.
I will continue with the vegi-fruit juice and also try to have healthy diet (high fiber), so that I can have output at least once/day. Hopefully, when time comes I can achieve 3-4times/day
I already planned to go thru the 2nd time in early April. :D

Atually that night, I don't have a good sleep.
Wake up twice in the middle of the night, gases.
But on the 7Mar, I went to toilet 4 times, wow.
And I know how good the feeling is to have most of the rubbish being thrown out.
