Look! See how my Company S inbox grows within a day..

Today had QQ Rice with my colleagues for lunch. Sherlynn introduced me long ago but didn’t have chance to eat it.

What is QQ Rice?

QQ means chewy in the dialect of Hokkien. You have 5 choices of dishes to choose from, out of the 30 types vegetarian and non vegetarian prepared dishes. The dishes will be wrapped with your choice of rice or grains, into an elongated shape. You will have it in a wrapping bag.

Ok, let me teach you how to order QQ Rice.

Enjoy your QQ Rice for Dummies

First, choose the type of rice you want: Brown Rice, Supreme Combination Rice, Purple Rice, Mixed Grain and Wheat Germ Brown Rice. Eat it healthily in your own way!

Second, choose 5 fillings to go with the rice that you’ve chosen.

Third, do you want any beverage to go along?

Now, EAT IT! (How to eat: Unpeel the wrapper and eat. The tactic is to bite and squeeze, bite and squeeze. This is to ensure that the ingredients will not fall off.)

I had Cheezy Roll.

Type of Rice/Grains: Purple Rice + Mixed Grain Rice.
Dishes: Turkey Bacon + Cheese + Mushroom + Pan-Fried Egg

Last wednesday (5 Mar 2008) after work, I went to RedDot Brew House which is located at Dempsey Road.

“Housed in a pre-war colonial building, RedDot BrewHouse is the only microbrewery in Dempsey and offers customers a selection of classic craft beers that boasts the best quality ingredients sourced from around the world. Nestled amidst lush foliage in Dempsey Hill Green, RedDot features indoor seating where customers can enjoy on-site freshly brewed craft beers with char-grilled fare and modern Italian cuisine in a relaxed garden setting that is steeped in old Singapore’s history.” - http://www.dempseyhill.com

Ernest Ng (the founder of RedDot BrewHouse) enjoys brewing his own beer at home. This gives him the idea of setting up his own brewery. Patrons will be able to enjoy their meal in a relaxing garden setting, and they can choose to either stay indoors or outdoors. The indoor setting gives one a classical countryside feeling, just like the feeling of an old English cottage. But, I regret saying, I didn’t have the chance to take a photo of the indoor setting. But I managed to take a picture outside RedDot.

I ordered Governor’s Smile – made up of Orange Juice, Milk, Sugar and syrup. Sadly to say, I didn’t like the taste of it thou.

So, let’s take a look at what we’ve ordered:

Potato Wedges + Soft Shell Crab with wasabi mayo + onion rings + mini spring rolls + French fries
