going to a pub at boat quay filled with Chinese songs and tone deaf people on a Saturday night is just gonna make me a deaf boy..lol.. yes that was where i went with 2 other guys from 53, before that we were at hooters eating 40 chicken wings! totally nuts.. i think there will be more of these in the future when i go back and work in January... not that i love busy life, but i too enjoy slow life.. when i work hard i relax hard too.. like right now, wondering what to do everyday.. wondering how to make my life count... anyway back at boat quay, because i don't drink one of the guys know the owner of that pub, he asked him to get the hostess to entertain me..lol, the outcome didn't turn out what he wanted, he wanted to get me drunk or at least high.. but too bad... learn to say no is effective in this kind of environment, and the hostess, they didn't know what to do with me, they ask me to play some card games or some dice game which i really don't know, and all i do was to speak English and they find it hard to communicate with me..haha... boat quay is always filled with fights, i was told that there was once a fight between 2 groups of Malay people and there was a crazy old man filled tattoos took a chair and sit in the middle of the fight... when i went home in the cab i saw this old man, he is really crazy... i mean screw loose.. he behaves like a mad man should behave.
the hostess they are very young girls, still in their late teens or early 20, why would they want to work there?.. i don't like that place, filled with high pitch screams and tone deaf people.

now i present to you what i experience in The olive restaurant in Genting highland hotel

How i got to know this was when xz and Esther went scouting for a place where we could have dinner and the went by the olive at last prayer answered!.. the trip was not so wasted after all.

It is a fine dining place, the ambiance was nice, it has this cozy feeling, during that day it's not crowded or you can say it is dead, only 4 tables were in(including me). so this is what i ordered

a king prawn
foie gras (goose liver or fat liver)
wagyu beef
and crepe Suzette(not on the menu, waiter didn't know the price too).

I went in got seated down near the kitchen, the kitchen is a open concept kitchen, where you can see the chefs cooking and if you're lucky you may get to see shouting and scolding.

When i got seated to my table the waiter started mumbling to himself.. i had to ask him to repeat twice.. very funny.. i think he was nervous or new.. he asked if i wanted still or sparkling water.. i would take sparkling of course, note that fine dining don't serve tap water. so after my orders were done he served me 2 olives to eat.. didn't really know why, no one explained to me, anyhow he served me bread and he forgot what was one of the bread in total there were 3 different bread.. he forgot one, then he mumbled to me the second bread, which i didn't hear him at all and finally i hear and understood the last one.. it was a squid ink bread how interesting.. it was hard and has light flavour of squid.

first course came- king prawns.. it was really good in texture and flavour...
it was perfectly cooked, it has a really good lemon confit to go along as well as avocado puree, just creamy and smooth.

second course came- foie gras(goose liver or fat liver) it was perfectly cooked as well! crispy skin nice juicy and tender. goes well with balsamic vinegar. nothing was overpowering each other.

while waiting for the main course, there was a little heated argument in front of me between a waiterss and i think the restaurant manager.. not really nice to argue in front of me, the manager knows i'm looking and he decided to ask her to one side of the restaurant but she refuses and just walk off.. lol... not too nice to do that in front of customers, got to show some respect.. but i know how it works.. it will be a showdown after dinner..

main course came- while ordering i forgot to ask if it was a japanese wagyu or australian wagyu.. now this is really funny to me.. he got his facts wrong.. it was the restaurant manager that i asked.. he said that wagyu is Australian and kobe is Japanese... i was a little confuse a first and i know that what he said was wrong.. the word wagyu is beef in japanese and kobe is a town or state in japan so when someone says it's a kobe beef, means the cow was breed in kobe japan.. when someone says it is a wagyu you got to ask is it from australia or japan if japan, which state.
japan beef is a full blood pure black cow.. very nice meat, where places like australia is a half breed beef a Australia and jap cow cross breed, in the USA it is angus beef, a half breed as well.. so don't be fooled when someone tries to tell you something else.
But i didn't tell him that he was wrong, although i really felt like it.. best to keep my identity a secret. anyway the main course was nice, gave me what i want rare. and i'm not a monster or a barbarian that likes to eat things raw.. some meat is nice that way..lol but the beetroot was oversalted... he gave me a english mustard and a french mustard.. difference is english is real spicy it's like eating wasabi french is sour sweet.

and now last course... crepe suzette. is a traditional French dessert it was name after this lady called suzette. can't remember the history of it.
this is where the waiter or chef will go in front of you with a gueridon or trolly to cook or prepare in front of you, either a salad or dessert. the gueridon is equiped with what it's needed. and so the waiter cook the dessert in front of me.. well.. the whole thing was nice, rich flavour nice ice cream.. i like it..

so there was the dining of the olive.. if i go genting again, i would go back there to try other stuff.

Back here in little Singapore

How was my trip?... nothing unusual

you want to know where did singaporeans get the culture of kiasu, kiasi, ect.. just look across the causeway!..lol i mean when i was in Genting that is what i see!! people rushing to the lifts, to the train, to the breakfast buffet... they are everywhere.. they will even try to cut your Q. amazing retard people...

In genting they can't give shit about service and food.. you know what i mean... let me talk about the breakfast buffet..
the 1st morning there.. it was a total mess!.. it looks like a huge canteen, not a proper dining hall really terrible... and the people my goodness the will rush for the food, and when they take their food trust me it is a little mount Everest.. when i was in the hall i felt like screaming.. you should know why.. total nightmare, a 3 star hotel?... better to give it a 0 star.. even a 3 star in bangkok could do better... no proper service and food.
BUT there was a fine dining restaurant that i went and i would say it is a near perfect and good place to go.. God answered my prayer.. the trip was like a forest being cut down and burn then i saw a little flower that is still alive and went for it, it save my trip lol... It's called the olive, located at highland restaurant... i spent like 200 singapore dollars there for 4 course food.. won't blog it down now.. will do it on the next entry... trip was still fun overall..

and still no letter here yet.

In search of perfection-


may God bless me with perfection of fine food and service as i search in malaysia. Amen

once again welcome to my critic post.. if you are bored of me criticising about restaurant please do not view this post.. if you are keen to know which restaurant is good please stay tune until i find one..

7atenine- semi fine setting

I have been eyeing this restaurant at esplanade.. it's just outside the open stage area you can't miss it... it's looks cool on the outside.. inside.. you'll find out soon enough.

I went with jia shen to this restaurant.. we step into the area.. there was nobody attending to us until we went to the counter.. we walked in at around 9pm.. inside we saw only 1 table but outside there were many people drinking... here goes

the waiter seated us to our table, present us with the drinks menu then we told him we were eating so he gave us the food menu.. but only gave us one to share!.. indoor dining only 1 table, done eating and we have to share the food menu?.. strange.. wonder if it is the policy one menu to a table..

this is what we ordered:
7atenine salad- jap tomatos, sweet corn, lettuce, bread crisp, tuna sashimi

portobello mushroom- protobello mushroom, coated with portobello mushroom powder, crispy shallot rings

For mains:
Lamb rack
wagyu rump

after we ordered we looked around... looks nice but we saw some things that should not be seen..
we were seating beside the window with this bombay sapphire gin deco and the deco was not clean at all!! lizard shit on it!!! disgusting!... next i saw mirror with finger prints... either the manager is blind, can't be bothered or they are all just too lazy.. i wonder where is the boss?.. or is the boss a lazy ass too?

so here comes the food they thought we will be sharing.. so never mind about that..
first 7atenine salad.. looks good.. first i took a bite at the raw tuna.. sweet, but not season at all!.. next on the bread crisp.. i was wondering when did they make it.. it was soft! then the tomato.. nice..

next

portobello mushroom.. looks good too.. ate the mushroom, good flavour... fried crispy shallot.. what time did they make it?.. it was soft and shit! i'm starting to think that the chef is a lazy PIG!

comes the main course

1st was the wagyu rump.. first look.. terrible! it's dry! the colour didn't look nice at all!.. when ordering the waiter told me that the beef can't be done rare because it is already pre cooked.. i was thinking it is either a wrong order that they gonna give me or the were using water bath to cook it(cooking in water at a certain temperature) so i said never mind i'll take it still.. because if that happens i know i will get piss and will force them to change it..-- back to the beef-- so i sent back that dry thing and then the lamb came and came along the beef that i sent back.. that was real quick to change... i looked at it, it had been drizzled with oil and it came back to me.. took a bite i know it's still shit.. so the waiter came and this is what i told him :" i doubt that the beef has been change.. it is still dry.. looks like it has been drizzled with some oil.. i'm not being a fussy customer but it's not right" he apologise to me sent it back again.. and i waited for the next 10 min... and the beef taste like a cheap Australian beef but it came from Australia anyway.

while waiting jia shen's lamb looks good but he ordered a medium rare.. cutting all open.. 2 of it was rare and 2 of it was medium rare!.. inconsistent!!! total rubbish that they are giving us.. it's bullshit!!... so jia shen sent it back too..

So came the cheap Australian wagyu beef again.. DAMN STILL LOOKS THE SAME!!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!! I BET THEY WON'T EAT THAT IF I SERVE THEM!!! SHIT!!!!!! so i ate my thing totally disappointed.. then came the lamb again.. this time round the lamb was done right! at least this is something is right!! why didn't they do it right the first place?... sad sad sad.....
while eating the chef purposely came out and walk pass our table... take check on us.. then walk back to the kitchen.. i stared into his eyes when he was looking at us... then he called the waiter that served us.. they were saying something about us...
called for the bill paid it and gave the waiter 20 bucks.. he was a nice guy.. deserve some tips.. on our way out i asked him what the chef said.. he said something about the beef but can't remember.. then i asked how was it prepared.. he told me that they sear it then chill it again!!!! NO WONDER THE BEEF IS DRY!!!! AND WHO COOKS IT THEN PUTS BACK INTO THE FRIDGE!!!! BULLSHIT AGAIN! IF NOT HANDLED WELL IT WILL CONTAMINATE.. IT COULD KILL SOMEBODY... so i told the waiter that's the reason why it's dry... so on the way out i was thinking since if it's cooked and then chilled again.. how old was that beef i just ate?.. 2 days 3 days??? OH MY GOODNESS..... when can i have a decent meal in Singapore?.. through out the meal there was not enough salt... i wonder if it's expensive or something.

terrible place to dine.. chef did not put in their heart to cook... hazardous place..may kill someone... no wonder more people drink than eat.

7atenine.. more like 7ateshit..

currently i'm just doing this small research of premature birth- why?

because sometime ago when i met with my grandma we were talking and all that, but i could not understand her so my cousin translate for me. She said that i was very tiny.. a small little baby because i was a premature birth. And after looking at some articals, they said that premature babies have a great risk of death after they have been delivered, due to the environment condition, then also like organs are not fully developed and are left to fight for their life.. even if they survived, they will have disabilities, may suffer from brain damage, and other complication..

But after looking at the articals i can't help but thank god that he protected me still watching over me, i can't deny it... indeed he has a greater plan for me and will use me in some ways that he wants.

1988- saved me from birth
2002- He found me
2003- He called me by name Isaiah
- I showed my faith through water baptism

along the way he showed me how much he love me.
along the way he disciplined me because he love me.
He never fail to surprise me.
till now.....


how can i ever say enough how amazing is you love.
