Mrupupup tried out the Yomenya Goemon Japanese Spaghetti House at the Marina Bay Link Mall (basement). This famous restaurant chain sells spaghetti done in an unique Japanese way and has a few stores in Singapore, Shanghai and Japan (of course!). Mrupupup ordered clam chowder spaghetti (loved the bowl design and seafood taste!) and tried out the duck spaghetti. The set also came with single serving of salad, apple drink and chocolate cake. The single serving of salad was stacked very high up with salads, beans, cherry tomatoes, and many, many, many lychees! The clam chowder spaghetti was very nice and creamy. The duck spaghetti was not bad. Try not to order too many spaghetti dishes for one might get very full easily for the portions are quite big. Yummy and totally enjoyed delicious Japanese style spaghetti and also the chocolate cake. Take note the place could get crowded during meal times. Mrupupup would come again and try out the rest of the spaghetti dishes and pizzas as showed in

Happy National Day Singapore on 9 August 2012! Happy 47th Birthday. This year's National Day Parade at the Marina Bay Area was great. For Mrupupup, the best moment was watching our pioneer leader being well and coming down along the steps of the stadium to take his seat and enjoy the National Day Parade. Relief to many Singaporeans! Good Job Singapore! Check out some Mrupupup's photos of National Day 2012!

Sakon Thai Food place at Jalan Wangi served up a very nice sticky rice dessert. The durian and mango versions of the traditional Thai dessert were done well at this Sakon Thai Restaurant! Yummy and sweet. The durian version slightly better than mango version. Anyway, both very nice. Mrupupup took a picture of the sticky rice, have a look and enjoy the picture!

Mrupupup visited the Soup Restaurant at The Clementi Mall (3rd floor) with a bunch of people for lunch. Soup Restaurant is a great place and served very nice Chinese cuisine. Mrupupup's Number 1 pick is Soup Restaurant's Samsui Ginger Steamed chicken - absolutely could not resist! The steamed chicken comes with lettuce and special ginger sauce for one to do a lettuce chicken wrap (pretty healthy eating). Mrupupup just enjoyed this ginger chicken dish. Mrupupup also tried out the deer meat (pretty exotic) and the sweet and sour pork. We also had very nice soup and fish dishes. Yummyssssss. Ok, pictures below of the steamed chicken, sweet and sour pork and deer meat. Please salivate.....

Mrupupup visited the new food venture known as 'Once Upon a Rosti' at AXA Tower, Shenton Way, Basement 1-15. The shops sells the European pan fried potato food known as Rosti. The shop has an interesting name and is the same managment that brought us the food concept 'Once Upon a Milkshake' - which sells milkshake. The Rosti shop is nice and sells different types of rosti with sausages, bacon, eggs, ham, vegetables. If you ask Mrupupup, the shop served up pretty good rosti. After enjoying the rosti, Mrupupup later went to the nearby 'Once Upon a Milkshake' store at Maxwell Chambers (near to Tanjong Pagar MRT). Had a pretty good red velvert cake with ice cream (wah... very very nice cake and ice cream pairing!!) and very thick chocolate milkshake. By the way, Mrupupup had a receipt that showed that the server was Fairy Godmother - pretty cute (check out the photo below). Do visit these two stores in the evening for Shentown Way becomes much less busy. Good day an

Mrupupup went to the Macritchie Reservoir Singapore. Mrupupup saw many canoeists in training. The place is very popular on a sunday morning. Mrupupup thinks having too many people disturb the tranquil nature of the reservoir. Mrupupup took some photographs and had a nice run around the Macritchie Reservoir boardwalk trail. The place has beautiful clear reservoir waters and tall trees. Overall, it's a good place to chill out and be close to nature.

Mrupupup followed a group of people interested in Singapore schools heritage trail in Bras Basah area of Singapore (organised by National Library Board). Pretty interesting heritage in the Bras Basah district. The group covered the St Anthony's former school in Middle Road, Sculpture Square, School of the Arts (even went up to the school's roof top - very exclusive) and all things interesting in the Middle Road area. Check out the pictures Mrupupup took. 1) St Anthony's former school - now a church with very nice stained glass and interior. 2)Middle Road Area - former Methodist Girls School marker, La Salle School & Jewish building 3) On the top of Arts School - nice view!

Dr Sun Yat Sen (famous revolutionary person in China) has a link to Singapore, as he visited Singapore and stay in this villa. The villa now named Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall is at 2 Tai Gin Road (in Balestier area) near to Ah Hood Road. Built in 1880s, this double storey villa also known as Wan Qing Lodge was bought by a rubber magnate Mr Teo Eng Hock for his aged mother. Mr Teo was a fervent supporter of the Chinese Revoluntionary activities and later offered the villa to Dr Sun Yat Sen for his activities in 1906. Wan Qing Lodge became the Headquarters of the revoluntionary movement in Southeast Asia. Today the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall is managed by the Singapore government and showcases rare photos, paintings, calligraphy works, rare artefacts and the 1911 chinese revoluntionary history which impacted Singapore. Do visit this place for the Mrupupup thinks is very nice exhibition in a beauitful villa. If not, you can check out Mrupupup's pictures below. As August is the m
