As everyone else in the world seems to be joining the blogging bandwagon, we thought ... hmmm ... so why shoudn't we? Just because we're not "techie" people and we have the attention span of a hyperactive squirrel who just discovered a cave-ful of walnuts ... plus I have to admit it was a struggle to even get going with this page since we're a bit resistant to electronic change.

But on the positive side, our collective experiences in life could actually be entertaining, helpful and perhaps enlightening (?) to others. Although enlightenment might be too much to aim for - hahaha. So we hope you enjoy reading our blogs on various spontaneous topics as much as we enjoy putting them together. Watch out, world! :D

THAI AT SILK - Serendra, The Fort



The ambiance at this fine dining restaurant was superb and the presentation of the food was excellent.  We recommend the Deep Fried Prawns wrapped in egg noodles, it was gooooood - if you like fried stuff, that is.  The Thai Iced Tea tasted refreshing although a bit too syrupy sweet (definitely not for diabetics) and it helps to have a glass of water at hand.  The Shrimp Paste Fried Rice was okay - but a bit on the salty side and there were some mysterious dried meat chunks  in  it (beef?  pork?) which did not complement the rice at all.  The Chicken Pandan was typical although some end bits were burnt. 

For dessert, Ms. Gucci ordered Sticky Rice with Mango.  In her own tactful words - she said it was like fried rice dipped in muddy milk.  There were also uncooked bits of grains mixed inside (Ew?) - warning:  it sucks.  I, on the other hand, thought the Tapioca was to die for! (only if you're into coconut-based desserts like us) 

The waiters were not too attentive and it seems like there was never any around when you needed them.  However, while we were taking photos of the dishes as they were served (strictly for blogging purposes), they suddenly acted paranoid and defensive - keeping a close eye on our every move, mixing up the Shrimp Paste Rice with a spoon and fork before serving it to us  ... possibly thinking we were spies out to copy their dishes. Hilarious!  Hahahahaha
