When you can keep both...

'鱼与熊掌', this is a Chinese Idiom. It means that you can't have both fish and bear's paw. You will have to choose one of them. However, this doesn't apply to the foodie world. You can actually have both of them at the same time. Introducing...

'Fish Fillet Burger' Basically, this ended up looking like a toy more than a fast food to me. Anyway, you get to D.I.Y the burger that you want. First of all, you have the choose the main ingredient, either Fish or Chicken. After that, you have to choose a 'Paw' out of 6 different flavours, which is 'Milk', 'Yam', 'Whole Grain','Brown Sugar','Japanese Curry' or 'Squid Ink'. I ended up choosing 'Japanese Curry'. Well, most of the burgers out there are topped with a sauce. Same goes over here, you have to choose a sauce out of 6 different sauces. There's 'Black Pepper', 'Tar Tar', 'Golden Cheese', 'Mushroom', 'Thai Chilli' and 'Honey Mustard'. Well, that's 'Black Pepper' for me. Taste wise, I think that this is pretty normal. Even though the taste of the 'Paw' has added an additional taste to the burger, but the additional taste just isn't strong/nice enough. Or probably I have to go with the funky selections to spice up the taste a bit. (Ex: 'Squid Ink Paw' + 'Honey Mustard'.) By the way, I do admit that the burger looks kinda cute but taste wise it's pretty normal and the potion is kinda small for me. :|

'D-I-Y Fries' By topping up a bit more, you can get the 'D-I-Y Fries' rather than the usual natural cut fries. Basically the difference between the 'D-I-Y Fries' and the normal natural cut fries would be the extra sauce that comes with it. Basically, you just choose a sauce out of the 6 listed in the above. I don't remember what's the sauce I ended up choosing but I do remember that the texture and the original taste of the fries were pretty good. But there are more and more fast food restaurants nowadays that are offering 'natural cut fries'. Therefore if you continue to offer the normal fries, you will lose out to the competitors in the competitive market of fries.

So where can you give the cute burgers a try?

The name of this fast food restaurant would be 'Bear Bites'(熊の食). The above shows the second outlet that is located on basement 1 of Bugis Junction.

A Company of Beer

Frankly speaking, I'm not so much into alcoholic drinks like beer, wine, etc... However, once in a while, I would still drink a bit, especially when I'm travelling and the weather is freezing cold. By drinking a bit, it really helps to keep you warm and out-stand the crazily cold weather co-temporarily.

'Taiwan Lychee Beer'(臺灣荔枝啤酒) Ever since I know about the existence of this beer in Singapore last year (or is it 2 years ago?), I have been keeping a lookout for it. And I managed to find it recently. As you drink the beer, rather than getting the bitter taste, you are getting the sweet taste of 'Lychee'. However the taste will slowly turn from sweet to bitter as you gulp down the beer, which isn't that important. Most importantly, it is something special and nice that even non-beer lovers like me could easily gulp down 3/4 of the bottle of beer without any difficulties. :)

So where can you give the 'Taiwan Lychee Beer' a good try?

Who says that you can only get a wide variety of beers in a brewery or restaurant? Basically, the name of this stall is 'The Good Beer Company' and it is located in one of the hidden corners on level 2 of 'Chinatown Complex Food Centre'.
