Face-booking? Think again.

 

This is way too spastic. LOL!

Vet Con Chicken Rice

And yes, I know how the name sounds like. Like some con job for your pet or something. LOL. This was different. I went there after hanging around at Sim Lim Square with Bertrand and his family yesterday. They headed to this place for chicken rice, and judging from their ever-flowing amount of customers, it’s no doubt that their food must be one of the best ones. And I can’t believe I ended up as one of them.

Just behind Raffles Hotel, this “restaurant” is located along Purvis Street, where many restaurants lie along it. Entering the street itself is rather sumptuous as you could smell a variety of food as you stroll and take your pick. That’s a hungry odour indeed. The restaurant itself has a furnishing of old. To go along with the feel, old wooden chairs and tables are used. Those chairs and tables are ancient enough to be as old as your grandparents. But then again, its definitely a comfortable one.

And I have not even introduced the food. Well, it’s just Chicken Rice. And you will go – “What? Chicken Rice again?” That’s what I thought. Well, I was proven wrong because the rice was so fragrant and the chicken is like lean meat, smooth and tasty. Best of all? The rice and the chicken aren’t as oily as hawker center ones. And along with a pork chop dish and a plate of mixed vegetables, this meal was as good as complete.

The pork chop was soft and good, accompanied with slightly silky gravy. And the mixed vegetables dish is great. Fresh vegetables, prawns, lean meat. It’s as healthy as what we almost have at home, if you don’t count the chicken rice. Price range is a tad more expensive than normal hawker centers because this is an air-conditioned area as this is because they do offer steamboat in their menu. I do not know of the steamboat pricing, but from the look of it, about 70% of the restaurant customers are having steamboat there. I suppose it’s of great value and taste.

And don’t expect pretty waitress or handsome waiters to serve you. It’s like all aunties and uncles serving you. But that’s what makes food good. It’s the older people that cook it. So if you feel like having a bite on some avian meat, then you could try this restaurant. Good value with good food.

Hmmm…

Everytime I see someone or something walk pass me, I wonder what will happen next to that thing or person. Imagine you see 2 kids walking pass you, and after strolling pass you, behind them, or in front of you now, is a guy dressed in black looking so suspicious yet bearing that kinda dressing that doesn’t seem too weird. What happens next? God Knows.

Then like any other thing in life, an elderly man crosses the road. And you, in a vehicle, in the other direction of the traffic, drove past this elderly man. Then on the opposite traffic flow, you see a car driving at speed so fast that it seems like light. Then you wonder – what if that car knocked down that elderly man? Or does the vehicle have brakes so strong that it can even stop a speeding cheetah from moving even faster? You just won’t know.

And in all that I have mentioned above, could you figure out what it means? There’s no right or wrong answer to it because it’s just your mind and how you choose to think of it. It can be an “expectation” thing, a “curiosity” thing, a “seeing is believing” thing, a “not-so-safe” way etc. And to think of either one of these options here might truly explain what kind of person you are.

If you think of what to expect, then you must be rather demanding. And to be curious about it means whatever you see or know, you would want to find out how it ends. And to see to believe, is simply to say that you don’t trust anyone or anything that easy and it’s hard to gain your trust because you didn’t give the same trust the other way round. And a not-so-safe thinking tells you that you are actually a very cautious person and that safety over everything else is your biggest priority and main concern.

Well, I might be wrong in what I have mentioned above but then it’s simply spelt out that you are what you think. Like you are what you eat. So do know what kind of person you are and please do the necessary changes to your negative side. And when you did that, you will realize that everyone might just change their opinion of you. When should you change? That’s when suddenly your number of friends start to get lesser and lesser and lesser not due to family reasons but due to the person you are.

Oh right, being good isn’t fun as well. Well, all good things must come to an end. And most of the time, it happens earlier. =)

If one could balance family, friend and partner in life, then one is a winner throughout.
