Open the terminal again, at the prompt type:

“ls /usr/share/emacs/21.2/lisp/play”

Don’t forget the space!

What I eat today…

Posted in Photos, Food, Hobbies, Blog, Leisure on July 5th, 2008 by ahwe!

1. Lunch at Rong Liang 榮亮閤 @ Clementi

This restaurant (kopitiam actually) selling Hong Kong styled roasted pork, char siew, chicken and duck rice. Perhaps not the best in town, but easily one of the cheapest one. I always come here to satisfy my crave of saucy juicy char siew whenever I pass by this area.

Roasted Pork /w Char Siew Rice 叉燒火肉雙拼魬 +

ONLY S$4.00

I ride there with Dahon Curve D3, and with the help of public transport.

How to get there? Take bus number 30 or 51, alight opposite Ginza Plaza, walk through the Food Market is the block 725.

Rong Liang 榮亮閤 Clementi Block 725.

2. Dinner at Geylang Claypot Rice @ Lorong 33

This claypot chicken rice is really yummy. If you don’t mind the waiting time, eating by the road side, and the weird on-lookers passing by your table, if you are a claypot-lover, this is a must-try.

FMHO, this is even better than the one @ Clementi Block 328. What we have ordered:

Double Boiled / Sun-dried Vegetable Soup 菜干燉湯

photo-0099.jpg
Sweet & Sour Prawn stir-fried with Fresh Fruits 鮮果炒蝦球

photo-0101.jpg
and of course the Claypot Chicken Rice for 2 pax… 當然少不了瓦煲雞魬

photo-0103.jpg
Total S$41.40. Slight expensive but we guess it must be the succulent prawns that cost the bill.

photo-0096.jpg
Lorong 33 Geylang, you hardly can miss it as the shop is facing the main road.

photo-0097.jpg
Operating hours: 1130am-230pm, 5pm-12mn. Close on Monday.

You can place the order before you go, or else have to wait for at least 30 minutes.

16 of us, all Dahon owners. 34km of fun ride from East Coast Park (Carpark F2) to Changi Village, and back. 2 hours of pedaling, its my first time to join the group and virgin (long) run for my Dahon Curve D3.

My bike’s (rear) tube blew up. Lucky enough there is spare one for replacing. Very enjoyable ride despite of this small accident.
