Tony’s Pizza: Sadly Disappointing

Posted on July 18, 2015 by bookjunkie

B has been complaining that he has been unable to have a real american style pizza with a dense chewy crust as health conscious folks have made all the crusts so thin and almost biscuit like. I too feel that other … Continue reading →

Kay Lee at Suntec: Kinda Pathetic Portions and Not As Fantastic as the Original

Posted on April 14, 2015 by bookjunkie

We need to make a trip to the original coffee shop at Paya Lebar where the original chef owners still help out. The outlet at Suntec City, although more comfortable in terms of seats and air-conditioning was a huge disappointment … Continue reading →

Singapore Art Museum: Beautiful Architecture, Disappointing Experience

Posted on May 8, 2013 by bookjunkie

Went to the Singapore Art Musuem quite some time ago but never blogged about it because I was uninspired. The old school building and chapel were beautiful, but the art work on display then didn’t quite catch my fancy. Perhaps … Continue reading →

Not Impressed by Nam Nam

Expected Better from Hoshino Coffee

Posted on January 19, 2013 by bookjunkie

Every time I passed this new cafe the queue was so long I told myself to forget it. This time I braved the queue. In the end I found out that part of the reason the queue is so long … Continue reading →

Bismillah: Not My Kind of Biryani

Posted on November 30, 2012 by bookjunkie

I expected to be wowed. They claim to be Singapore’s best dum biryani. Instead I was sorely disappointed and felt I had wasted my calories. Irritating when that happens because we do enjoy meal time so much. Should have gone … Continue reading →

Posted on November 17, 2012 by bookjunkie

B was very excited. He thought he was bringing me to try the best pao ever called the Kongfu Pau from JB. He was sorely let down. The pau in question (giant one with ingrediants including egg, pork and mushroom) … Continue reading →

Saboten at Changi Airport T1: Unimpressed by Meal & Sloppy Service

Posted on August 17, 2012 by bookjunkie

Won’t be coming here again. Not the worst food experience of course, but considering the price, not impressed. Out of the three people on duty, one was ok and more polite than the others. I am always reluctant to talk … Continue reading →

Posted on August 12, 2012 by bookjunkie

It seems that I always talk about places being great but the truth is I’ve had some sucky experiences. Just zero mood to write about it as I prefer to write about the positive ones. But since I don’t want … Continue reading →

Lynda Carter is Magic and I am So Disappointed by the New Wonder Woman Poster with Adrianne Palicki

Posted on March 21, 2011 by bookjunkie

What was David E Kelley thinking when he cast Adrianne? Is she really a great actress? And why have pants if the costume looks more uncomfortable and sluttier than the 70’s version. Lynda Carter who will turn 60 in July … Continue reading →

Swiss, Oliver Fricker is Sentenced in Singapore: I Feel Overwhelming Sadness at the Verdict

Posted on June 25, 2010 by bookjunkie

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fahN1LJfgW0] The jail term I can understand, even though it’s harsh as there was no malice in the act, but why the caning (seems more like flogging) as well? In my mind, the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. I am … Continue reading →
