  • Where we first met in Best John & Aeran Memories

    My mom loves telling this story. We were the most unlikely of first year college roommates that annoyed the crap out of each other for the first few weeks of school. Not sure how we ended up being best friends and travelling / meeting up all over the world together, but thats where we're at now!

    Just saw this movie last night with Xixi - we both really enjoyed it. Great action and over-the-top scenes like you said. The ending was sad tho... RIP Paul

  • District 10 in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    I had the Black Angus Beef Burger ($19 w/ set lunch) which had a dense, buttery bun that I really enjoyed. The beef patty was quite chewy in texture with decent juiciness and hints of salt/seasoning that made for a great taste. There was a strong cheese & mayo flavor which was refreshingly good alongside the tomato. The fries were alright - thick but not very crispy. Overall a tasty burger that I'll glady have again.

    ps. the beef carpaccio was great, making for fantastic value as a set lunch.

  • Glints in How to find Interns in Singapore

    Glints is super cool and easy to use, and I was able to get some applicants and an intern for my startup. It did take a few weeks though - there are lots of internship postings (over 1,000 right now!) from many cool companies so you'll need to figure out how to stand out from the rest and attract people to apply.

    I'd suggest using a really cool photo and talking up your company + the role in the first sentence to attract people quickly.

  • Hubbers Facebook Group in How to find Interns in Singapore

    I went to the Facebook group looking to get referrals to interns, but ended up meeting someone who became my co-founder. Am really glad I didn't corner myself into an 'internship/jobs' site since I got so much more out of the process. Plus, I got a bunch of cool feedback and potential partnerships as a result of letting people know about what I'm doing.

    Hint: post here even if you're not looking for interns, you never know what you'll get!

  • The Chop House in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    A friend and I ordered the BBQ Beef, Bacon, & Cheddar Burger ($29) and were pleasantly surprised when it came - it is a BIG burger. The toppings were very generous and enjoyable with tasty bacon and a ton of melted cheese. The patty was very thick and pretty juicy, and while the meat itself wasn't overly flavorful nor tender (cooked medium), the combination of size, ingredients, and BBQ sauce made for a very satisfying meal. The tater tots were served perfectly and made for a great side dish.

  • Strangers' Reunion in The Ultimate Guide to Eggs Benedict in Singapore

    I always opt for the smoked salmon version of Eggs Benedict whenever I have brunch and I can confidently say that this has been the best I've tried in Singapore. The hazelnut bernaise sauce is sweet and gives a very unique flavor to the dish, which is further complimented by the cheese and smoked salmon. The mixture of ingredients and tastes is excellent and nothing like other dishes I've tried - if you love Eggs Benedict you have to try these at Strangers' Reunion!

  • Paradise Dynasty (乐天皇朝) in The Best La Zi Ji (辣子鸡) in Singapore

    The cheesy xiao long bao ($9.80 for 6) is my favorite flavor as it really is quite cheesy. The black truffle version ($13.80 for 6) is a bit mushroomy and not really what I enjoy (I love truffle but dislike mushrooms), though I could see some people liking it.

  • XiaoMi Mini Router in Stuff that I would introduce

    Awesome router! Previously had a $30ish TP-Link 802.11g "300 Mbps" router in my office that was only giving me a max of 30 Mbps, but more like 5-6 Mbps more often than not.

    Switching to the Xiaomi AC router immediately bumped that up to 55 Mbps down / 95 Mbps up, and cut the ping in half to 3ms (from 7-10 ms).

    No gigabit ethernet but you won't find anything in this price range with the feature. Definitely an awesome AC router for the price, and looks sexy too!

  • Grilled Chilean Seabass in Singapore Airlines - Best Book the Cook Meals

    @louannwong What country did you depart from when you tried it? Ex-Singapore has been consistently good for me though I'm sure they have off days. I do note though that every time I try it the preparation, presentation, and taste is a bit different (see my photos) so that could be an issue too.

    Either way definitely try again and hopefully it'll be better - when on form this dish beats out anything I've tried in restaurants thus far!

  • UOB PRVI Miles MasterCard / AMEX in Best Credit Cards for Airline Miles in Singapore

    These are decent cards but not nearly as attractive nowadays with the plethora of 4 mile / S$ options on the market. The UOB PRVI Miles cards offer you simplicity in being general use cards that require little thinking, but you pay a hefty price of losing out on almost 3x the miles by not using the best cards for each type of spending. That said, they do have some utility in filling in certain gaps that other cards can't earn 4 miles / S$, such as very very large overseas purchases (non-dining).

  • Avengers: Age of Ultron in John & Rachel's Trips to the Cinema

    A lot of people didn't think this movie was great but I think that is due to how much hype it had. I really loved the first Avengers movie and thought this one was still very good, though perhaps the first was still better - the bar was set pretty high. Tons and tons of action and some funny scenes. Felt they could have done a bit more with Jarvis 2.0 after building it up so much. Overall still a great movie IMHO!

  • First trip to Singapore in Best John & Aeran Memories

    Thanks for visiting so soon after I came back to Singapore! It was only like what, a few weeks after graduation? We had no idea you'd eventually move out to Asia and come out like every other month :)

  • Red Velvet Lava Cake w/ Ice Cream in Fantastic Lava Cakes at Ngee Ann City

    Loved that It was served warm and oozy - you know it's gonna be good when you cut off a side and the gooey insides flow out all over the plate. First time having red velvet flavored lava cake, I'm a huge fan of regular chocolate lava cakes but this combination is definitely a winner for those with a big sweet tooth. Goes well with the coconut ice cream too!

    @Reg84 Good point on the parking - usually need to make a few rounds to get a spot and not super accessible via public transport either.
