Rob Raccoon at Coffee Bean

Ever wondered why Rob Raccoon has 'dark eye circles'? Well, every night he is staying up late sneaking around like a thief but no one ever knows what is he doing. 

One night we caught Rob Raccoon at Coffee Bean, a popular coffee outlet here. Guess what Rob Raccoon is doing?

Rob Raccoon orders 3 cups of coffee at coffee bean!

The time is about 9:30pm now at Coffee Bean in 313 Somerset

and yet another sleepless night for Rob Raccoon..

That is why Rob Raccoon has dark eye circles just like a panda. Oh well Rob, you gotta kick the coffee addiction, Coffee Bean is not gonna make you their mascot anyway :-D

Clarke Quay x Clarke Quay

Welcome to part 2 of NICI-Mania's Clarke Quay Singapore River adventure. NICI sheep Jolly Mah Jomo continues to bring you more wonderful sceneries of Clarke Quay. Enjoy!

As from mentioned in part 1, we just crossed the bridge over Singapore river to the other side of the Clarke Quay. Our brown nici sheep is now standing in front of a Qing Dynasty-esque restaurant. A huge group of tourist were taking pictures here and we had to wait for a long time for them to clear out.

Oh look! Jolly Jomo found some lobsters in a fish tank. Clarke Quay is well known for the abundance of seafood restaurants lining up along Singapore river.

This is the Singapore river cruise that we have taken before as we mentioned in part 1. There are at least 3 or 4 other river cruise services scattered along Clarke Quay and also Boat Quay. Behind is a shopping center called Liang Court. A couple of famous Japanese Ramen shop like Tampopo and Marutama is inside.

That was the end of the route in Clarke Quay already, so our brown nici sheep turned to another direction. Behind the rows of shophouses in Clarke Quay, there are still many shops specifically pubs and restaurants.

Forbidden City! Well it only forbids underage nici sheep like Jolly Jomo, because no animals allowed.

 Jolly Jomo sits down at Clarke Quay for the last time.

Thats it for Clarke Quay pictures, Jolly Jomo is heading towards Boat Quay and we are still along the Singapore river. So stay tuned for part 3 Boat Quay adventure!

Korean Instant Noodle (Samyang)

In spite of the recent news of Korean instant noodles found having cancer-causing plasticiser. Mutt and Pug are gonna introduce Korean Instant Noodle - Samyang Hot Yukgaejang

Samyang's made in Korea instant noodle is free from contaminants, different from Nong Shim's Korean instant noodles Shin Ramen which is made in China.

You get 2 packs of condiments in the Samyang Korean instant noodle.

First we boil a pot of water and add in some meatballs.

Then we can add in the Samyang Korean instand noodles into the pot.

Next we add in the flavoring packet and also the dried vegetables.

To get more vitamins and nutrients in eating Korean instant noodle, we add in some real vegetables, green leafy vegetables!

Finally to finish it off, crack an egg into the soup. Egg goes very well with the taste of Samyang's Korean instant noodle.

Before we know it, our Samyang korean instant noodle is done! All in 5 minutes. We have meat, vegetables and egg, a very balanced meal.

Pug and Mutt the unhealthy duo proudly presents the healthy version of Samyang Korean instant noodles. This taste much better than Nong Shim's Shin Ramen, try it out some day and you might be a convert like us.

Update!: The Samyang Korean instant noodles cost only S$3.30 at the Korean shop at Marina Square! Much cheaper than NTUC!
