1# Wing Seong Fatty's Restaurant

its been awhile since i've done a first post..

even though this is actually my 68th post on no lies. just love. this 68th post feels like a first post.

this is because this is my first 'the food blog' post.

for those of you who are thinking.

'what.the.hell'

then i'm very sorry to have confused you. (you should probebly check out my 'pages' underneath my header and then you'll maybe understand)

anyway.. back to my first 'the food blog' post.

i'm lucky enough for my first (or 68th) post to be a review on a Singaporean Restaurant - Wing Seong Fatty's (Fatty's)

type of place: restaurant
type of food: asian, chinese
address: 175 Bencoolen Street #01-31 Burlington Square

at 12.30 (with no breakfast mind you - dad is an early early riser who doesnt need any food in the morning) we were all so hungry we ordered up a feast of roast duck, combination char siew and roast pork, singapore noodles and fried Man Tao buns..

even as i was eating those amazing little buns i was thinking..

i could write amazing things about you.

Fatty's Man Tao buns are Michealangelo's David of the bun world.

when doing some research on Fatty's one food review stuck in my mind

"I found the roast duck really ordinary.... there was nothing special about it. The skin wasn't crispy and the meat wasn't particularly tender.."

with no offence intended to this fellow reviewer..

you are wrong.. very very wrong..

the roast duck had an amazing skin that was crispy and had the ability to melt in your mouth, and the meat was completely unique with the softest texture..

i am sure that their duck was just old and grumpy.

type of meal: lunch, dinner, night dining
occasion: children/family, after ork
atmosphere: hidden find, noisy/vibrant

must tries: Man Tao fried buns, Roast Duck

snail tales.

so its been awhile since i last posted, sorry about that blog..

It seems that i go through phases.. at one point i'll post everyday and then at another i just cant ever be bothered.

moving on from this i'd like to tell you all a story..

I arrived in singapore around 6.45pm local time.. which means that for all my australian friends and family it was 8.45pm.. i like adding 'local time' after '6.45' because thats that the pilots on the planes say..

as you should know, i've come up to singapore 3 times now, because my dads working here, because of this i know the entrance to singapore like the back of my hand.

so as we're walking out of the Qantas terminal at 7.15 (i know, the baggage terminal took FOREVER to return our bags) we get into the taxi and i'm feeling quite relaxed and happy, which ofcourse, is quite nice..

sometime later we arrive at the apartment and go down for dinner, as we're walking my dad tells us of the.. wait for it..

GIANT SNAILS!

thats right, GIANT SNAILS that make their way on to the path we need to cross to get home.. and apparently they come in PACKS! which would be impossible for any other kind of snail but not the SINGAPORE GIANT SNAILS!

its actually quite unbelieveable i had not yet seen a SINGAPORE GIANT SNAIL!

anyway, all was well and good untill the next day, after dinner, when Kathleen and I were discussing how nice Bradley Cooper was looking in the A-Team (awesome movie by the way, you should totally check that out)




as i said, nice right? oh and sorry about the poor quality of the picture, first i typed in "bradley cooper" but couldnt find a picture that expressed his 'nice-ness' and then i typed in "bradley cooper, a-team" and singapore said "bradley cooper, a-team" may return explicit adult content and has been filtered by your Bing SafeSearch settings.Your country or region requires a strict Bing SafeSearch setting, which filters out results that might return adult content

so apparently Singapore thinks i'm being dirty by googling bradley cooper..

interesting huh?

anyway, back on track..

as we were disussing Bradley Cooper and the A-Team i saw a hideous big blob of mush on the concrete next to a big rock thing.. i cant really remember what happened next but Kathleen says i screamed like a little girl, did a star jump in the air - while screaming (which i think takes skill), and ran for 5 meteres before screaming again "WHAT WAS THAT!"

The worst thing is that i did this near a construction site, so preety much all of singapore's workers heard me..

heres a picture -



this is actually a GIANT 'african' SNAIL from africa.. i got the picture from wiklipedia so thats not even my foot, personally that colour nail polish doesnt do jusice to my skin tone. anyway, overlook the fact that this is an 'african' GIANT SNAIL, and just imagine its a SINGAPOREAN GIANT SNAIL!

you can not tell me you wouldnt be scared of that thing.. its like a breed between a normal small sized snail and another medium sized invertebrate..

So that was my GIANT SNAIL story, i have quite a few others, not GIANT SNAIL stories but others..

lie when we went to see A-Team and after the movie we got ito the lift and there were all these asian boy teenagers and the were muttering in chinese or something and then one of them pulled out his phone and they all started singing along to Justin Beiber.. complete with hand movements.. i must admit i was impressed :)

Sigh.

normally i'd be opposed to posting twice in one day - but i forgot something in my first post..

and it is this.

what is 'this' you ask.. well 'this' is probebly my favourite song of the moment..

its amazing that the killers can be top 40 and yet so totally and awesomely unique at the same time..

no one has a voice like brandon flowers..

-sigh-

he is a god.

so i think you should check it out (or him out - because at around 1.14 to 1.42 he is d.i.v.i.n.e)

dont ask me what it is about him, i just think he's gorgeous..

happy..

so, i think its time for something new.

the past few months have worn me down... completely..

i think that i maybe need this trip to Singapore a lot sooner than i thought.. thank god its only a week away..

and i really need to pay more attention to this blog, which i have undoubtedly placed in the back of my mind since the 9th of May..

and this problem has an easy fix - re-decorating..

its such an amazing thing,

replacing my pink flowers with a nice french linen from Shabby Blogs , and adding some new buttons is going to make my blog seem so much.. happier..

so i think thats what i'll get onto when i finish this post..

love x
