Tonny Restaurant

Image
I have heard about Tonny Restaurant every now and then but never been there. They serve authentic Hong Kong Premium Cuisine and is helmed by Hong Kong celebrity chef Tonny Chan. Tonny was a chef in several Hong Kong restaurants and he was also formerely from East Ocean Seafood Restaurant among others before setting up on his own. They are now located at no. 8-10 Geyland Lorong 3. If you are there early, you may be lucky to get a car park lot just right across the HDB car park. Otherwise, just move on to the nearby multi-storey car park. Once outside the restaurant, you could see all the write-outs about the restaurant from both the English and Chinese media. And the other celebrities who have frequented. They have unique dishes and not the standard fare you find in most restaurants and they have this award-winner that you must try - the "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'', probably named after that movie.  It won the Singapore Golden Tripod Award when it c...

EPL 2015/16 - Game Week 27

It was the first time I remember that the top four teams played on the same weekend. I predicted 2-2 draw for both matches and it was close so it could have been. Not one experts from the press gave Sunderland any hope against Manchester United - one predicted a 2-1 win and three others said 2-0. I felt bad for the Red Devils and predicted a 1-1 draw but Sunderland went one better to win 2-1.  At the beginning of the season, I have said finally Arsenal could have a say as they have the most settled side and they have narrowed the gap to two points by beating Leicester, so too Tottenham who won at Manchester City too.  I find things rather strange and disrespectful when Manchester City or Pep Guardiola announced about his appointment after Pelligrini. Technically City are still in the hunt in all four competition. Under Pep in future, Yaya Toure may be affected in his performance now as he left Barcelona when Pep was there. So too, Juan Mata at Manchester United if Jose Mo...

Victoria in Singapore, there are other schools we know, Victoria is something more, the school that watch'd us grow. For here we've learnt and striven too. And played the sportsman's game ; Victoria, we give to you the honour that you claim. Victoria thy sons are we , and we will not forget, Victoria thy triumphs see, and victories we share yet.  For others came before and went, and carried to the world, Victoria's fame and our intent to keep her flag unfurled .  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsPZoxXya5A (Victoria School Song) That was our school song.  I remember and will not forget. It was our formative years and with youthful exuberance and vigour, I plodded along unknowingly about what the future holds but with ebullience I participated in so many sports and even joined the school band. Sometimes, people asked me why I joined the band and I just just told them that I joined a queue thinking it was for soccer and ended up in the band. Wrong Qu...

EPL 2015/16 - Game Week 26

The Foxes are not just everybody's second favourite team. They are entertaining, enterprising, they fight in every inch of turf, they are confident, they have belief, they are fearless and run themselves to the ground. They are supreme underdogs made into a supreme team.  There must be method in the madness. First of all, they have the right management team in place. Their Thai owners must have known how to connect with their history, tradition and know how to pick the right manager and trainers and from there on found the right players, on the cheap at that and transformed them into ''a team'' who fought for one another. It begins at the top.  Who would not love an underdog. That is what life is about too. Money can't buy you success. The old tradition of hard work in itself is humility. Not a get rich quick scheme. Not about one famous manager nor a few famous players. Leicester City have given hope to all that we can dream and despite the unfair advantag...
