Scotts Beef Noodles

After hearing so many friends saying that the Scotts Beef Noodles have resurfaced at Ion Orchard, I couldn't resist trying it today for lunch since I was in the area today.

After so much anticipation, I must say the whole hoo hah about this stall is overrated and utterly disappointing.

I used to eat at Scotts Food Court alot and always have the beef noodles there so trust me I know how the original taste like. Other than the chilli, the rest of the setup was not the same as the original. The gravy doesn't look as dark and the biggest disappointment for me I must say is the missing salted vegetables. The soup taste bland and lack the beefy taste and the beef balls though bouncy doesn't seems to be seasoned enough.

All in all, it was a total waste of my $6.50....but if I never try I will never know so once bitten twice shy, you will never see me spend my money on the noodles again!

Is this consider good customer service?

Saw this article and is wondering whether people consider this good customer service or it is a disgusting idea?

"UK - If you find your bed too cold to sleep in, staff employees at Holiday Inn will soon help warm your bed up for you.

According to Reuters, the Holiday Inn chain is will offer its employees up as bedwarmers in a trial service in three hotels in Britain this month.

On request, a staff-member at the Holiday Inn will dress in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit before slipping into bed. The bed warmer will also have a thermometer to measure the bed's required temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

This service will apply to two of its London hotels and one hotel in Manchester. In an email to Reuters, the hotel spokeswoman Jane Bednall said, "The new Holiday Inn bed warmers service is a bit like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed."

Sleep-expert Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Center, said that there is plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night when body temperature starts to drop. "A warm bed - approximately 20 to 24 Celsius - is a good way to start this process whereas a cold bed would inhibit sleep." "

Talented Rio

Rio Ferdinand, one of the defenders of Man Utd is so talented. I know he has a magazine and now he is designing and producing footwear and even act as the model....AND that's not all, he even has his own restaurant call Rosso in Manchester.

I actually went passed the restaurant twice but too bad, did not see any footballers hanging around. But I managed to take a photo of the restaurant for everyone to see.

Look

Look at these men alighting from the plane....one would think they are models right?

WRONG!! They are not models but Real Madrid footballers...damn, don't they look good in suits?

Ryan Giggs Part II

Wow my idol scores twice in a year.

First was the Wales BBC Sports Personality of the year and now the BBC Personality of the Year. Hear how they boo him when he said he is playing for the best club in the world haha.

Ryan Giggs

I still remembered when I first start following Manchester United in 1991, Ryan Giggs caught my eyes and has been my favorite Man Utd player for many many years. Even till today, he is my favorite player together with Wayne Rooney. Not even Cantona, Beckham nor Ronaldo could change my loyalty towards Giggs.

Many thought I like this team because of all the good looking players but hell no, I like them because of the way they play, it has never been about looks.

Anyway I am glad I caught this piece of news about Giggs winning the Wales Sport Personality of the Year 2009. Enjoy this clip.

Time Not Enuf

For some Money's not enough but for me really time is short. Not that I want 48 hours to a day but then it just seems there are too many things to be done and too little time to do them.

I came back from a trip in Australia 2 months back and till now, I haven't sort out all the photos yet and posted them to my blog. And now, I am already busy planning for my next trip to UK...arrghhh and being someone who will love to have a roof above me when I sleep, it is really stressful finding accomodations in some cities that I am planning to go...and as days goes by, it gets more stressful as my airtickets are not confirmed and I cannot stand booking my accomodations and transport. Double argghhh.

On top of that, I really must put more focus on my blog business. Was talking about creating a group on FB but till now has not got down to doing it.

There are too many on top of that, I am having friends in town next week and together with 2 weddings on the same day (Of cos only attending one of them) and trips to be made to the bank to withdraw money for the angbaos.

Today is the 2nd day out of a 3 day break for us but time flies so fast and I can frankly say I have not achieved much. Blame it on the fact that I am such a bookworm that I cannot put a book down long enough to do other stuff.

But really and truly, I MUST start doing them soon. May the soon really be SOON.
