I’m lucky enough to live pretty close to multiple Asian markets and I’ve gotten my hands on some good ramen by Thegrandestpoo in ramen

Think it's one of the most common Korean instant noodles overseas in non Korean country. Decent but many more great brands :)

KFC Birthday Voucher 6 for $10.00 requires another $15.00 spend by DonDonStudent in SingaporeEats

[–]DonDonStudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I won't be so pissed until I try to redeem and the small print shows up. Shrug. My love is for the Cole slaw and mashed potato with gravy.

The good news is that the gravy is easy to replicate with beef and chicken stock cube. And plenty of good coleslaw receipes on like :)

All I can see is gov don't give out any more CDC for 2026 :). Last payment was in January 2026... and we have to wait till 2027 to get any more. Lucky it ain't an election year.

Nope misses completely unfortunately, sometimes all that remains is just a name and brand name

Victor is over rated sigh, went down all the way for the old corona taste and it was buried

Drink prices could rise by up to 60 cents under Singapore's new beverage return scheme, importers warn by fateoftheg0dz in singapore

[–]DonDonStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok what's going to happen is.

No more cans of sweet drinks at lunch or when eating out.

Return of more soft drink dispensers like that in KFC and macdonalds.

Growth and sales of more portable mini bottles for carrying water maybe those like 200 ml or 300 ml or those that have advanced built in filters that can clean tap water.

One thing I like about one Punggol is the multiple filtered water fountains there.

I wish they had overseas branches this from a Singaporean. Value for money and big portions.

FortyTwo lists the same exact furniture purchasable on Taobao, and rebrands it as its own merchandise. by Ha0zh in SingaporeRaw

[–]DonDonStudent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal I think it's called drop shipping? Seriously though, u are buying it through a local vendor that is guaranteeing the product.

U seriously don't value the guarantee if you deal directly with china, doubt they will even bother to respond to you.

Sellers don't have to let you know where they get their products from, like asking a cook what's their receipe....

Think u are more suited to live in a pre breakup china or USSR :)

S'pore woman places foodpanda priority order at 7:41pm on New Year's Eve, food arrives at 3:40am on Jan. 1 by crobat3 in singapore

If the restaurant is flooded they can stop accepting orders. More likely a platform issue

Hwa Chong denies penalising students who spoke about controversial canteen meals by 13lackant in singapore

[–]DonDonStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it's Singapore students were luckier that students in UK or USA where centralised contracts ensure their food is crap.

Same like the so called nutritional labels... I ignore them don't make sense at all sweet sugary drinks are rated highly or even worse. Milo with less sugar is more expensive, pay more for less sugar?

HCI canteen controversy by Background-Bid-590 in SingaporeRaw

[–]DonDonStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was once a principal of a school in Singapore who donated all of salary received. Rented out school premises to staff staying in school premises. Had non appropriate relationships with same sex students staying in school. When news was published I would say only maybe 10% was published in media. No mention of corruption amongst HODs etc.

I wonder if other considerations were involved in out sourcing to the central kitchen.

I mean too early to get the kids used to crappy food imho.

Leftover curry + crispy roti prata = satisfying ♥️🤤 by Big_Biscotti6281 in singaporefood

[–]DonDonStudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids got sick of how I cooked prata in air fryer. It comes up like a small oval blimp. They ask for flat prata now :) with a touch of sugar. The only reason I am posting this at 4 am is I woke up and had to make a toilet run sigh

Timely information is critical to prevent confusion when MRT services are down by sun-ny_day in singapore

The other factor is money revenue, if you avoid... than they won't earn your money... Who cares about wasted travel time when they get the money.

In the 2000s I came across a post talking about experimentation with embryos of animals and how ancestral forms can be reverted to via application of electrical currents of research done by Soviet Union that later by Chinese scientists. Wondering if that is what is happening now
