Mrupupup went to the newly opened Monster Curry (Japanese) store at Nex #B1-08. Mrupupup ordered the huge (very, very big plate) of Sea Monster curry. Why Sea Monster? Because the huge plate came with rice, lots of hot Japanese curry sauce with 4 prawns tempura style, two scallops and one large fried fish fillet. The signature, dark curry was delicious and spicy.The Monster Curry dish was so big that two persons actually struggled to finish up the curry dish. Well, with big plate means big price of $25 (without GST hor!) - actual was $28.25. Ok, Mrupupup's advice try to get three persons or more if you want to order the HUGE plate curry sauce dish. Monster Curry outlet was popular during meals times. Be prepared to wait for huge groups of people. Besides Sea Monster, there are other types of curry dishes with pork, chicken or seafood. One could choose the cheaper versions around $12 if only one person dines at Monster Curry. Burp! Think too much curry sauce!

A-One Claypot House was a very nice experience for those who loved to eat porridge. Mrupupup ordered their porridge filled with shellfish and fish maw. It was simply yummy porridge! Mrupupup enjoyed the taste of the porridge, seems to taste like those yummy porridge one can eat in Hong Kong. Mrupupup  also ordered their claypot chicken rice which was also delicious with lots of ingredients like chicken, chinese sausage, chestnut, mushroom, vegetables and salted fish. If one wants hot food, do try A-One porridge and claypot rice. Mrupupup went to the A-One Outlet at Nex Mall #B1-73/74 near to the Japanese food street corner. The porridge was pricy at around $12-$13 because of the fish maw and shell fish ingredients, while the claypot rice was relatively cheaper at around $8.90. Well, as their name says it, the food was A1 indeed! Lots of fish maw and shellfish   Yummy chicken claypot rice  

Yeah! Victoria Concert Hall Singapore has re-opened in July 2014. Mrupupup went for a visit of Victoria Concert Hall after its four years renovations. It was a special day because Mrupupup got to go up to the Concert Hall's many "decades old" Clock Tower. This was a very special treat to visit the inside of the clock tower and see the old clock chiming its way in Singapore's short history. Mrupupup went on a tour of the renovated Victoria Concert Hall and saw the beautiful old building came alive. Mrupupup loved the chimes of the clock tower. See Mrupupup's picture and hear the sound of the clock tower in the below video.

Mrupupup checked out Starbucks Singapore's 100th store at Fullerton Waterboat House at 3 Fullerton Road second floor. Mrupupup must say this is the most spacious and beautiful Starbucks store in Singapore (just opened in February 2014). With its wonderful location overlooking the Singapore River, the coffee place was a very nice experience for coffee lovers who just want to chill and relax. Mrupupup loved the store was designed with many photos of old Singapore, especially remembering the history of the Fullerton Waterboat House. This store is also unique because it hired people with special needs (very good!). Ok, Mocha Frappuccino please, make it a Venti size please! Mrupupup just want to chill out!        

Mrupupup saw a Lamborghini Aventador car - nice blue colour - along Millenia Walk. Every time walk along Millenia Walk, you would surely find a nice Lamborghini sports car park there.

Mrupupup went to the Paik's Bibimbap store located on the second floor of Vivocity #02-125. Bibimbap is a traditional rice dish which one would mix it up with beef or chicken slices (you can choose), lots of vegetables and egg in a very large bowl. Pretty nice Paik's Bibimbap (about $8.50), do try with their spicy Korean sauce. Mrupupup felt like eating their Korean warm noodles ($7.90) which was very nice. The noodles was soft, came with vegetables, nuts, seaweed and minced meat. Mrupupup noticed a lot of ladies in the store eating the warm noodles dish. Mrupupup enjoyed the unique Korean taste in the warm noodles. Stay healthy, don't eat so much Western fast food, try some simple Asian fast food. Warm Noodles     Bibimbap Rice Dish
