Melamine found in China made Products

Singapore has suspended the import and sale of all milk and milk products from China since 19 September. A total of 8 findings of affected products were found to contain the industrial chemical melamine. The Agri—Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) says the public need not be unduly concerned as only low levels of melamine were detected in the affected products. Consumers have to consume large quantities of the contaminated products over a prolonged period of time to have any potential ill effects on health.

All 8 products that have been detected containing melamine:

1. Dutch Lady Banana Flavoured Milk
2. Dutch Lady Honeydew Flavoured Milk
3. Silang – House of Steamed Potato – Potato Cracker
4. Puffed Rice Rolls – Butter Corn Flavour
5. Puffed Rice Rolls – Cheese Flavour
6. Yi Li Choice Dairy Fruit Bar Yogurt Flavoured Ice Confection
7. Dutch Lady Straberry Flavoured Milk
8. White Rabbit Creamy Candy


My beloved family and friends in Singapore please take not of the above products.

20,345 US$ for a bottle of wine

And just when I wrote a post about the high food prices I read in the news paper about a Singaporean Business man who bought 12 bottles of wine for 244,133US$.
The sale took place in Hong Kong at a wine auction held by Acker Merral& Condit at the Shangri - La Hotel.
The Singaporean Business man paid a record 244,133US$ for 12 bottles of 1990 Domaine de le Romanee-Conti. According to wine experts, it is the most expensive and most rare wine in the world.
It is another prove that food prices are rising!
But in this case I don't think that the man in question will starve to dead.
He might have the most expensive hang-over in his life though!!!!!

Magic Wok Restaurant, Singapore

Eating out in Singapore isn't all that cheap unless you eat in one of the hawker centers where you can get a meal for $3.
But if you look around long enough you can find those hidden pearls among the Singapore restaurants.
When my wife and I were walking around town we stumbled upon the Magic Wok by accident.
It doesn't look like much from the outside. The interior is filled with the most basic furniture.
But the food is Cheap and it is good!
The Magic Wok is a restaurant serving Thai Food and quite often its packed and you might have to wait for a while.
It is very popular among the locals.
It is a good place to get a very good meal at backpackers prices.
Try the fried chicken chunks wrapped in pandan leaf or the beef noodle soup, delicious!
The Magic Wok address:
Capitol Building #01-20
11 Stamford Road (S)178884
There are two other outlets but we haven't been there yet.
One is at:
Novena Square #03-23/25
238 Thomson Road (S)307683
And the other at:
Ten Mile Junction #01-17/18
1 Woodlands Road (S)677899

Newton Hawker center in Singapore

Newton Food Centre is a major food centre located in Newton, set up for tourists wanting to experience the 'traditional' way of eating in Singapore.
It's one of the best and most famous food centers in Singapore.
It was first opened in 1971 and it closed down in 2005 as the government wanted to revamp the food centre. It was reopened in July 2006 after renovations.
There are 83 stalls, arranged in a horseshoe configuration.
It has a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. The prices are a bit higher then in most hawker centers but it's well worth it.
Don't get frustrated by the many touts walking around, just get a table a look around to find the food stall you think is the best.
The Newton Food center is famous for it's sea food. Try the barbecued stingray topped with sambal sauce, one of my favorites.
Main courses range from $3 to $15
The Food Center is open daily from 6pm till 4am and is within walking distance from the Newton MRT station.

SEDAAAAAAP!!!!!
