Public transport with ease ahh? This is subjective leh ...

Walking distance from Tiong Bahru Mrt

Services in nearest bus stop: 51, 64, 186 (aint sure if this is correct, cos close to 10 years no take bus already)

If u can find zouk or great world ... this place isnt hard ... to be much exact ... its near havelock road "bak kut teh" and havelock road teo chew porridge ...

Why Halal? We are expecting Muslim kakis.............. cheers :)

[SoToNgMaN]

bro try this (http://www.ezb.com.sg)

40 cents per chicken wing from your link ... I think we self marinate a lot cheaper .. rofl ...

generally to cater to a wider spectrum of guests ... the same goes why we dun have beef in our menu ...

Hopefully .. I'll try to get vegetarian staples like bee hoon, noodles or rice ...

K, we will finalise the food matters this sat. :)

[peckio]

Was at Downtown East for lunch, saw that they've pre-marinated meats on sale at the NTUC outlet. Maybe we can get them, saves time on marinating all the food, think the food is halal as well ;)

[celticfish]

peckio,

Your fish is turning out to be a fine male!
Odontode growth showing in the tail area already.
And firespitter's fish looks female being a larger fish with no odontodal growth in the tail area.
But I probably the male needs about a year more as the size difference is quite large.
Its a good start though as the two largest fish I have are one of each sex.

Do come for the meet.
I havent forgot the 500 gm of SW!! :D
