Other than blogging on MyCarForum, one of my favourite pastime is to hunt for good food in our little island. A few months ago, I tried this restaurant that sells Taiwan porridge along a row of shop houses at Upper Changi Road. It was love at first bite and I have been frequenting that shop ever since. However, I would make sure that I go there early in the evening for a reason.

 

Due to its popularity, the restaurant would get quite packed at around 6.45pm on a weekend. Tables would be laid along the corridor of the shop houses and on the parking lots. Due to the spaced occupied by the tables and chairs, the remaining space for a car to maneuver becomes significantly reduced. This is evident in the photo above (apologies for the poor photo quality). I have observed several times whereby the diners have to make way for a car to turn in. If the driver makes a wrong judgment, the consequences could be disastrous.

 

The above explains why I go to the restaurant early, in order to secure a table along the corridor or inside the restaurant. This way, I can eat in peace without having to watch my back. Here

  • A sole-ful tribute

    Car enthusiasts are an emotional bunch. So, I naturally develop feelings for things on wheels, be it four wheels or two. However, I was surprised to discover that I had become attached to my old pair of sneakers, whose soles are so worn that it hurts to wear them.  That is the unequivocal signal to retire them. But I must say "Thank you" before bidding them goodbye. The laceless design is convenient, saving time when you need to rush off in the morning Through thick and

    ERP 2.0: Possible positions for your processing unit

    Your OBU's processing unit isn't always mounted on the passenger footwell. Depending on the car that you drive, more than one option may be available! Since November 2023, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been gradually replacing in-vehicle units (IUs) with the new on-board units (OBU). The OBU will pave the way for smoother traffic as we transition to the new ERP 2.0 system that is based on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology.  The OBU comprises three parts: An

    Toyota Assure: Keeping you and your car in the best shape

    It's now easier than ever to keep an older Toyota in the best health with the new Toyota Assure programme! Toyota's vehicles are well known for their reliability.

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev
