I’ve only ever eaten a black chicken once in my life… Today was the 2nd time….
Both times in singapore.
Both times made by Mama.
Both times in the form of a ginseng, red dates herbal soup.
The first time, no questions came into my mind, even though, I never knew of its existence! (Or maybe I did, but never thought much of it).
The second time, alot of questions came into my mind, even though I’ve eaten one before!
During dinner – random qns kept spilling out of my mouth…. Both my Huppy and Mama looked at me weird but still answered to the best that they could! With qns that couldn’t be answered, the result was a giggle with a shrug or ‘I don’t know’. I think at the end of the ‘machine gun’ questioning session – they were relieved! But I was just so intrigued by this black chicken!!!
“Is the meat of this black chicken really black or is it dyed with e.g soya sauce?”
“Is there any difference in a black chicken’s lifestyle compared to a white one?”
“What does a black chicken look like from the outside?”
“So would you be able to tell the difference between a black meat chicken and a white meat chicken from the outside?”
The bones of the chicken were a darkish grey colour… so this led onto more qns:
“So is the blood of the black chicken still red or black?”———————Realised what a stupid qn, once it came out of my mouth! I think the ‘black’ has got to my logic!
“How would you be able to tell if the black chicken is cooked properly (without cooking it until it was dry!) cos there’s no pink tinge!?”
Well, I thought dinner was entertaining…. Why not bring on some more interesting, colourful foods!? Don’t you just love the feeling of being intrigued?!?!? Cos I do!
Wow, time flies when you are really enjoying. Its has been a great 14 days… We did quite a lot of things actually. Lots of fun within the big group this time, moving out in 2 cars, walkie talkie-ing to ensure that we don’t break contact, shopping for designers clothes at crazy, crazy “whoops” prices, lots of eating eating eating (i think i put on 1-2kgs in LA, quite a few Singaporean friends noticed), lots of get together at friends’ places, chit chats and playing games…. Very eventful, I wonder when will we be able to do something like that again. 
Meantime take a look at our pictures at 
compared to those grumpy ones!!) The seafood selection was quite good, (the salmon sashimi and oysters etc) but the rest of the foods wasn’t all that enticing…. Not particularly fussed on the BBQ section… However, the leek and potato mash was really yummy! And my favourite section – the dessert section, was not that nicely presented nor tasty… However, I loved the setting… Established in 1896, the Bar & Billiard Room houses two original billiard tables from the turn of the century! And they served food on them – what a waste!!!
Andy came over to uk this weekend and came to Cardiff tonight and stay till tommorrow. Well, it’s a little rush because he was technically not on holiday, but rather this trip was work related.
After planning how about we going to do the tour, we made a move to London Bridge and Tower Bridge to take some pictures. We had a little stroll and talked about Singapore and friends. A rather relaxed stroll. Before we know it, it was time to move to our next destination – the reknown 
We ordered our food and chit chat a little and i was telling Andy that i thought it is much smaller than what i thought it would be. Our food arrived shortly after and my steak was really yummy, so was Andy’s rainbow trout. Well it was nice, but maybe there’s better… ehahehaehae.. 
Briefly showed Andy around our place (no.12) and we showered and went to bed shortly after.
