Politically Correct in a Crazy World

Last Sunday we celebrated Raymond's belated birthday with the usual dinner after the usual game of DOTA and an unusual KTV session.It was quite a rushed celebration being the fact that some of us have some event of our own in the morning.

We had a difficult time trying to find a restaurant to eat.Frankly speaking,it's hard to find an English restaurant that offers reasonable price to dine in.

As we became hungrier,we decided to forget about finding a nice English restaurant and went to a Chinese restaurant instead.


We settled at a place called "Chen Fu Ji",a restaurant famous for their crabmeat fried rice,which was recommended by my colleague.

The place was kinda quiet,probably because it was already 9am when we went there.I rather prefer the place to be somewhat noisy.





The meat is very juicy and the mushroom is well marinated.Most of the time I hate eating the black mushroom but this is one special case I ate it.





Oat Wheat prawn.This is one of the dish we really can't accept its price.6 prawns for $24!Is there any gold filling hidden inside the prawn?No!Then why is it so expensive?

Singapore Sambal fried rice.The rice is well separated and it doesn't taste so dry when I ate it.Somemore the spiciness of it is damn shiok.


Japanese fried rice.I loved the ebi roe on top of the rice,but the bad thing about this dish is that,for the cost of $22 it contains only seaweeds,ebi roe and some chewy black stick.


The four of us actually played a game of "Fear Factor".Raymond challenged us to eat a lump of onion and garlic inside the 三杯鸡.Glenn and I don't dare to eat it because we know that if we did,we probably get to puke out what we have eaten.

Then we challenged one another to eat a piece of chilli from the sambal fried rice.This should be easy I thought.When I put the whole piece inside my mouth,my tongue sting like mad.I tried drinking cold water to neutralize the taste but failed.It took me some time to get my taste bud recovered.

Glenn,on the other hand is worse.His eyes became bloodshot red after chewing the chilli for 10-15 times and then swallowing it.He had a hard time trying to get his tongue recovered and yes,he had to drink 5-6 cups of tea.

The total cost of the whole thing is $200!It's a super expensive meal I should say,and the birthday boy is sort of kenna carrot chopped by the restaurant.I think this will be the last time we eat here.I should have swap my Japanese fried rice with crabmeat fried rice instead.At least there's crab meat for me to enjoy.

I think next time we should never come to Clarke Quay for meals anymore,except for Central which is nearby.
