Pork Knuckles @ Choa Chu Kang

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Singapore is Farmart Centre. Amidst the few Seafood and Tze Char stalls found there is a small little Cafe and Wine place known simply as AustWine. My brother had arranged a small family birthday gathering and he specifically chose this place because of the Pork Knuckles ... and BTW, he lives in Pasir Ris!

With this place just 5 minutes drive away from my home, I had to go check it out.

Although not fancy, it is a nice setup, very quiet and cosy. No crowd even on a Friday evening, good for chatting with old friends or couples. Service was prompt and the food was cheap! Check out their main course menu. Menus for other dishes are available on their home page above. For those who are into wines, their wine order form is also available online.

We had the Pork Knuckes (large of course) as well as Emmentalar Cheese Sausages, Grilled Chicken with Mushroom / Back Pepper Sauces, Fried Rice and Salmon Fillet (not on their online menu). Overall very satisfying, highly recommended. I got the VIP card which cost S$10 and was instantly given a 10% discount. As the total bill was about S$84+, the VIP card was virtually free. Food_

Foodie Compilation

Have collected quite a number of foodie photos over the past few weeks to share here.

Home made Chinese Pig's Tail Soup with Peanuts and a medley of Beans
Entirely home made by father-in-law. Simple recipe with slow cooker, pig's tail, peanuts, black beans and black eyed peas. (Don't phunk with my heart baby!)



Chap Chai Stall Sweet and Sour Pork and Vegetables
"Off the shelf" Chap Chai Peng dishes (from Choa Chu Kang North 6) which complimented the Pig's Tail Soup perfectly!



San Remo's Macaroni and Cheese with Pan Fried Crispy Sutchi Fillet
Simple weekend dish for two. Simple and nice to eat. Cheese and Fish seem to go very well together!



Favourite Teochew Porridge stall opposite Bukit Timah Shopping Centre
The duck and the "hei bi hiam" are excellent with the plain porridge! Others swear by the salted egg but unfortunately that's not my cup of tea.

Its finally over!

The last in camp "training" (a.k.a. ICT) is finally over! We had our unit Stand Down Parade and Dinner last night. Some were jubilant as their names were read out from the M.R. list while others were disappointed as they are not eligible for M.R. because they still owed some ICTs.

It was a strange feeling during our out processing today as we will most likely be seeing each other for the last time. Many name cards were exchanged. Anyway, it was a good feeling to be finally free from our ICT liability even though the official M.R. date is in April 2007.

For those who have completed 10 years of NS and a minimum of 7 high key ICTs, we got our "thank you" gift, which consisted of a 10 year service medal + collar pin and a Hamilton watch (with SAF logo and Rank/Name engraved). Also, we received a letter of appreciation for our service. The actual letter from MINDEF will be served later as our M.R. date draws nearer.
