Today, I had a quick buffet lunch with my colleagues to catch the Penang buffet @ York Hotel before it ends this weekend. We have been talking about it even before the fair started but never have the time to arrange it until we realized that it will all soon be over.
I am hardly a buffet person because I always think that buffet is a waste of money and the food can sometimes be mediocre to my standard but I have already lost count of the number of times I went to this buffet. This fair is held 3 times a year. Of course it can’t be compared to those you get in Penang but this itself is the best you can have in Singapore and they specially flew in the hawkers from Penang just for this event.
Anyway the lunch was good and satisfying. This time they introduced a new dish but I consider this as a distraction, so I didn’t bother to sample it. I shall not allow myself to steer away from my target, CKT. Lo and behold, in the end I had 4 plates of CKT, 1 bowl of prawn noodle and 3 apam balik. Guess it’s time to do some diet correction before I can head off to face the music of my medical checkup.

After our exploration last week at a ramen shop on Robertson Quay, this week, HL YM-ed me and popped a link showcasing some of Singapore’s best restaurant. My greedy self of course jump on the chance to try it out with my food kaki. So the first to come under our scrutiny is P.S. Café at Palais that is along Orchard Road. We have been to the one located along Harding Road but it was quite a while ago and at that time I don't think they have this outlet yet.
My first impression when I first checked out the restaurant from the website was, “Oh I so like the setting there”. Then told my friend that we should make a trip there since it’s also along Orchard, makes our traveling easier too. But what I can’t imagine is that this restaurant that seems to have an outdoor setting based on the pictures I saw from the website, to be located within a shopping building. If you have been to this “atas” shopping center, you will know what I mean.
Within the restaurant, they make very good use of glasses and mirror to give depth and sense of spaciousness within room. The casual setting that gives the feel of a Sunday brunch café is actually a semi casual restaurant in the evening, pulling in mainly the expat crowds during dinner hour. I felt a little uncomfortable with the crowd surrounding initially, not sure why maybe because I didn’t know what to expect or I’m too used to a McD setting.
Anyway that’s not the point that I want to make here. Other than the fabulous restaurant setting, the foods were pretty impressive too. For starter, we ordered the soup of the day which is some chicken & bacon soup. Then for our main, I ordered some yellowtail tuna fish as my main course, while HL ordered NZ roasted lamb. These were recommended by the friendly waiter who was very attentive to us throughout the dinner. He keep coming back to check on us to one point I thought he is way too friendly that I can’t focus on my main course. LOL.
For dessert, even though we’re full (I didn’t manage to finish my main, what a waste!) we didn’t hesitate to give it a try. We immediately opted for some granny smith apple pudding and it was awesome… with ice cream melting on top of the hot pudding… yummy…
Conclusion: I think I will come back to this place again but hopefully it will be to try out their brunch menu. The have a different menu for different time. Overall, the experience was comfortable because we did mentioned to the waiter that it's our first time there and they treated us with very good service. Their service is definitely いちなん!
P/S: If you're going on weekends or Friday, It will be advisable to make a reservation first.

I call him immediately to double check. The conversation went something like:
Me: Eh Gary, where are you?
Bro: Going for my exam soon.
Me: Did you take part in a MJ's Thriller mob last weekend?
Bro: Yea that’s me. You saw me? (I suspect a huge goofy grin on his side)
Me: You have exam this week and yet you have all the time in the world to go for mob?!??!!!
Yea the younger brother strikes again, this time on the news front page. Not that he manage to scare anyone to death in broad daylight, he just happened to be the focus of the photographer.
So it seems that medical school is not that hard after all, or at least for my brother.
This is the video in which he took part in this yearly mob event to break record, more details can be found here - Thrill The World 2009. Enjoy the video, who knows, maybe you can see your other siblings here too.

I can’t believe this. Pepsi lost a suit case merely due to a secretary that has forgot to forward a letter because she “was so busy preparing for a board meeting she did not deliver it to anyone”. Maybe this will serve as a reminder to bosses never to overload their staff with too much work else you will be making a bigger lost. Perhaps I should show this to the guy at the top… LOL!
But I like how Anonymous Lawyer worded his comment in a sarcastic manner about this case:
I don't know what PepsiCo was thinking having a secretary responsible for something. Everyone knows secretaries are only good for bringing in food and taking up space in the cubicles. And sometimes having affairs with, but only when extremely desperate and all of the associates are busy stamping numbers on papers and sorting things in the right order.
Company should also look into NOT overworking their staff. No one should ever pay for such an expensive mistake. Note to self, make sure I read through each and every mail that comes to my mail box from now on.
What's your most expensive mistake so far?
