Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I went to this launch of an ETF lunch seminar with 2 of my colleagues. Actually I wasn't invited, haha who in the right mind would invite me, I was replacing my boss lah. So what do you do at such meets? Collect namecards. Serious! Hahahaha. And eat!! Free mah... Oh yah, and listen to the seminar.

Straits Kitchen is like a one stop food fair for local food, especially if you're bringing visitors around. My colleague recommended the Indian food, so that was the first one that I attacked. The rice was nothing special, but the dishes are not bad! Especially the grilled mushrooms! Tandoori's not bad as well. The rice was nothing special. Vege's okok only. I tried some of the Malay dishes as well. Not bad either. The roti jala a bit weird lah, who would expect the roti jala to have potato filling inside! I didn't really explore every single station, but I would say it has quite a variety. It is a must to come on an emtpy stomach. I couldn't really fit much just now, probably cos I ate quite a heavy breakfast. Damn. Hahahaha. So, because it's free, I give i...
