A tale of two rice

I just had duck rice today. It’s like the anti-thesis of chicken rice. (I’m assuming braised duck and steamed chicken)

One is dark, one is white.

The chicken rice has a smooth feel and its sinfully good as each oily mouthful slides down your throat.

Duck rice, on the other hand has a rough texture. Each spoonful of dry, brown rice peppered with yam cubes punches you with its flavour.

Chicken meat is softer, easier to bite yet it’s flavour is too general. Duck is tougher and its skin refuses to be masticated, but the taste is strong, unmistakably duck-like.

The differences extend to the soup and chili. The soup for duck rice is as brown as the duck meat and its strong flavour tells you that it has gone through a lot to reach its present state. Chicken rice soup is clear, understated, almost like spring water. The sweet yet fiery chili for chicken rice is in deep contrast to the salty, slightly bitter chili of duck rice. Like a sword versus a grenade, one stabs you with intense spiciness while the other explodes your mouth with different taste sensations.

Who would win? I’m not sure, I would probably order both.

COSPLAY BATTLE!

Who will win in this epic battle? All are professionals and so have been airbrushed and photoshopped to perfection. Now the question is, who has the “aura” of the character? (pictures resized, click to enlarge)

Just popped back here for a look. Seems that appropriate readership is…nil.

That just sucks. Well, it’s not like I have alot of inspiration to write anyways. But guys, if you’re reading this, COMMENT. lol

Hello Kiddies

Comment here if you read this. I want to know the approximate readership of my blog.

Singapore Toy Festival

Dinobot!

Back when I was a kid I loved the Beast Wars. Animals+robots=win.

I didn’t manage to have what I wanted back then so now with MONEY I can just spam.

Besides nostalgia, this is why I love him:

Lol

Hello, I’m Jake and I have a problem

I’ve already bought 3 toys this month…I’m having a toy addiction, mainly due to the transformers movie.

Spending thus far this year? Around 200dollars already. Ouch!

But it makes me feel good. I guess this is what they call retail therapy.

A couple of updates in my life

Celebrated Sunny’s birthday. Didn’t watch movie with the guys, but I went shopping for Grimlock instead. Haven’t opened him yet since I like him on the card so much.

Grimmy!(not my own picture)

After that, we played lan. Paying money for something I can do at home for free? Totally man!

Wasted time finding a place to eat. Finally settled on Breek’s cafe. Their seafood marinara is good!

Dead blog is dead

Regreting JC life…but it’s a path I must stick to for now.
