Best Bak Kut Teh in Singapore?

I am a fan of Klang bak kut teh and trying to find one good bak kut teh restaurant in Singapore is not easy. For one, the taste is definitely different from Klang bak kut teh where it is served in a strong flavour of herbal mix. Instead, the Singapore version of bak kut teh is more peppery and it reminds you of the pig intestine's soup.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this bak kut teh restaurant while cruising along Balestier Road. Judging from the queue outside, the food has got to be good to justify for the long wait. I took this picture rather late after the crowd has dispersed. It was well after dinner time!

When it came to my turn to enter the restaurant, I cannot help but think that I have made the right choice upon seeing many endorsements from celebrities around the region. All these celebrity photographs are placed on the walls in the restaurant. Well, you can enjoy your meal while looking for your favourite celebrities!

When the food came, it was time to put my taste bud to work. I tried the bak kut teh and true enough the soup is fantastic, balancing the spiciness of the pepper with a good mix of herbs. I could not resist the temptation but to ask for 2 servings of the soup!!

I would definitely go back to this restaurant for my next craving of Singapore bak kut teh. If you are interested, the restaurant is named Founder Bak Kut Teh and the address is below. Look out for the uncle a.k.a founder who sits by the cashier....he is a celebrity himself!!

Learn the Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires

I may be wrong but I believe the reason most of us work is to earn a living rather than for the pursuit of passion. That would probably explain why the most popular books at the book store are those related to money and finances. You can twist and turn the topic around but the main theme would still be about money. Many of these books or audio books, for that matter, do not teach you how to apply the ideas to become rich. Most of them shower you with ideas but falls short on the application.

X-mini 2nd Generation

The sound system on notebooks is generally not up to the expectation of the consumers. Sometimes it makes you wonder why the manufacturers even bother putting them there. I have been putting up with my notebook speakers for a while until yesterday when I saw this article in the Straits Times on an entrepreneur in Singapore.

Listed as the one of the fifty faces to watch in 2010, Ryan Lee, the CEO and founder of XM-I, which is the company behind the miniature speaker series X-mini. After reading the news, I thought of ending my misery of listening to the mediocore sound quality on my notebook and I headed off to get myself one of those X-mini capsule speakers. I went looking around, researched on-line and compared with the likes of Altec Lansing, Creative and Philips but I finally decided on the X-mini 2nd Generation.

The X-mini is value for money and does not break your piggy bank. On the cover of the box, one will not miss the warning sign in red - "Warning Unbelieveably Loud". Although I doubt that one can become deaf from listening to the speakers, it is still a catchy sell phrase nevertheless.

The package comes with the X-mini capsule speaker, pouch and a cable that has both a USB adapter and also the 3.5 mm stereo plug which connects to the X-mini via a mini USB adapter. The X-mini capsule by itself looks unique and it is no wonder that this product is a reddot design award winner 2008. If you have buddies with X-minis, you can even link them in series via the "buddy jack" that can be found at the bottom of the X-mini. Now imagine have tens of these speakers lined up in various colours!

I tested the X-mini and found it to be reasonably loud and with sound quality which satisfies my normal application, i.e. listening to music. I think this is a fair deal for the amount I paid and I do not think this speaker will ever replace the high end music reproduction quality from high end speakers with the likes of JBL, etc. but rather, it provides you with the convenience in the ease of use and it serves its own market niche of portable speakers well.

Overall, I feel that the X-mini, with its eye-catching design, does serve the purpose of being a portable speaker of a decent sound quality.
