great time out with the boys (chai seng, chong lee, chee hong, boon teck) last evening...
what I read when I googled Sek Wai Sin at Geylang (between Lor 13 & Lor 15) turned out to be accurate enough - pay a lot for wok hei, no price, no menu, no aircon, no service (the last cannot determine as chai seng seems to have one with the owners so the service we got is par excellence, also aircon part no issue as our table is indoor place is decent & quite cool)...
food is good and I want to go back again...we had prawn with kai lan and tofu prawn (signature), and beef kailan=all with fantatic wok hei! the prawn is huge and very fresh. also had steam song fish head (signature)=very good, black chicken soup=good and sweet sour pork=below average. read that bitter gourd pork rib is good, didn't ask as (maybe should ask because) chai seng is paying. damage was $148 for 5, not exactly cheap for daipaidong but then most dishes are better than some restaurants..problem with such places is food variety looks limited and w/o our friend chai seng probably service maybe sucks...
after that we stroll to sims avenue side for durian...$50 for 1 mao shan wan durian (3.5kgx$14/kg=about $2 per seed) not quite my idea of value for money, but then fun night out can't count every cent, just eat & be happy.. durian was nice but really not that great..chee hong also ordered a 1x$16/kg (forgot name sounds something like XO 666..)...that one actually had many tiny seeds, not bitter enough and maybe not bad afterall...
sad to hear from CH that BT's brother Boon Siong passed away from cancer (though I expected that having heard from BT >1month back that he was nearing the end). we are all at the age where transient makes a deeper impression, we get more philosophical & start to hear more of such news from amongst friends but I was playing my 1st majong game with BS just before CNY=that was just 4-5 months back..
