Passing of an Era 1 hour ago I have never posted before but on hearing news that the great Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice is closing by June 2013, I have to write something. Warning: Article/Review below may border on being a little emo and over dramatic. If there is a restaurant that encapsulates the story of the makan nation, it has to be Lim's. From a tender age of 5+ (am mid 30s now), I have patronised this far flung restaurant admist stories of motorbike racing along the "99 corners" road (a.k.a Kent Ridge Road). In all my years of patronage, the food there has never disappointed. If you read the other reviews here, the duck meat is really as good as it gets. It is the combination of the duck meat and the hot porridge doused with luscious gravy that have warmed the stomachs and hearts of many Singaporeans. What is even more charming and rustic of Lim's is that the place has never changed, the staff (that friendly uncle who always insist in speaking English and give you a feeling that he is just estimating your bill rather than calculating) are the same, the look is the same, the drinks are the same.. Everything you see, eat and feel there is a page out of the 1960s. There are very few places left in Singapore that has such tradition and remain staunchly "unfranchised". I will be going there very frequently until the very end.

Around 11pm like that... the taxi front smashed and twice until jialat jialat... then got ambulance also... and I see broken glasses on the ground... as I am driving pass I dunno got how many vehicles kana.

Anything nice to makan there?

around 9.10am, the junction of south buona vista road and prince george park rd..between a black civic and a taxi. dont know if the taxi tried to beat redlight or the civic didnt watch out traffic. sorry didnt take a pic bcos till now i still feel really "unwell" after i saw the accident scene. not sure how is the condition of the old lady now, who was the driver of the black civic..she looked unconscious at that time..

Last weeknight, there was a Vios that spun and ran its backside up a lamp post or tree along South Buona Vista...... looks like either black or blue, OPC car. Got two cars, Honda Jazz/Fit and something else next to it, plus TP WRX. Another racing Vios challenging the downhill Touge and lost
