He Ji Wanton Mee

I am a true fan of Adrian Pang and when he host the programme 'Yummy King', I never failed to watch. Of course after watching the show, the next thing is to track down the food he recommended and try it out. My first trial of his recommendation is a stall named 'He Ji'. This stall sells wanton mee. Their wanton mee is $3/4 per bowl. I ordered $3 wanton mee, fried wanton ($2 for 8pcs), shrimp dumplings ($3 for 5pcs) and pork cutlet ($3 per pc). The noodles is real superb! According to the stall helper, the noodles is 'imported' from Malaysia. The noodles are manufactured in Malaysia (JB) and then specially bought in to sell at the stall. If you visit the stall, you will be able to read the history of the stall. The portion of the noodles is rather litlle....so big eater, please order $4. As I was too hungry, I forgot to take picture of the wanton noodles when arrived....but only remembered to do so after eating a few big mouth. I was busy fitting my mouth with the fried wanton and pork cutlet, therefore, no pics of them. My conclusion, the wanton mee is worth the try, nice taste and noodles are cooked just right! Pork cutlet and fried wanton are so so lah....lastly, the stall is located at 273 Jalan Kayu (near the famous Jalan Kayu Roti Prata).

Clover leaf + disney

Do you believe clover leaf will bring you special luck? For me, its 50-50 belief....I have seen people using clover leaf as earrning, keychain accessory and handphone accessory. Today I bought one too! The main reason that I bought this clover leaf handphone accessory is because it comes with my favourite disney characters, chip and dale....look at the picture, is it cute and nice? To my knowledge, the four leaves represents wealth ($$$$), love, health and fame. (Is this how our local brand bakery, four leaves became famous?) This special clover now comes with original disney characters such as mickey mouse, winnie the pooh, minnie mouse and its sold at a counter at plaza singapura. (the counter is located outside KFC), and each handphone accessory comes with a certificate and a serial number...hope you catch the serial no on my card and good luck to you if you want to bang big on this no for 4D. Just dun forget me if you strike...otherwise, let me strike and I treat u guys! One last thing you may want to know is its price, right? Ok....the retail price range is from $24 to $32...and currently they are having a promotion, buy 2 get 1 free,,,,and for those micky mouse lovers out there....go and grab the mickey mouse design, its real nice and I had a hard time deciding between mickey mouse and chip and dale. However, I decided to go for the chip and dale design. Perfect as Xmas or birthday gifts!

Hokkien, Cantonese...Dialects.....u can't speak?

Does kids these days know how to speak dialects? I witnessed many of our students these days are unable to communicate with old folks because of language barrier. Is dialect a languange barrier in today's society? I came across a senior doctor who went to Germany for overseas triaining. He was attached to a local hospital in Germany and over there the German doctor and patient communicate in German. However, in the presence of a Singapore doctor, the German doctor and patient turned to speak English. And when another doctor did overseas training in Korea, oh dear, beside the body language he was observing, there is no common language to use! Well, language barrier is common among people of different nationalities....but how can language be a barrier among our locals?

Each time when I see a student unable to get details from the patient regarding his diagnosis, condition and history and resulted having to wait for an interpreter (if there happen to be), does it strike the mind of the student to start learning to speak dialect? Is dialect so difficult to learn or too 'malu' to learn? For the sake of your good, dear students out there, it won't kill to learn some dialects for the benefit of better communication skills!
