Like eggs? Then you should like Hatched restaurant. Located at Evans Road, in Bukit Timah area. I heard about this restaurant through Pioneer magazine – my monthly magazine from army sent to me. I was so afraid that the restaurant would be very crowded after reading many positive reviews about this place. Some said the place would be packed even at 11:30am. However when I was there, thankfully it was not crowded.
Basically Hatched serve up all kinds of ways there are to cook eggs. Be it baked, boiled, fried, poached & scrambled, they have them all. It is kind of breakfast all-day menu. What I ate was the Egg Benedict. You can choose to order just one egg or have two. I chose one. It was pretty nice with a perfectly poached egg on top of a hard but still tasty muffin. The flavour of toasted muffin and egg matched nicely. This dish is also topped with hollandaise sauce. Salad comes together with the dish but strangely I there was not dressing on the salad.
And with children coming in, I cannot resist not taking photos of this particular girl who stood under the fan for so long, refusing to sit with the family. Then while I was taking photos of her, the mother told me she was standing there because her pants were wet after running. So she wanted to stand below the fan to blow dry. Haha! So cute!
Do try out Hatched when you got the time. I supposed driving there is most convenient. There is a small car park next to the place. So I believe there will be little (or no) parking space available when you go at the wrong time.

I received my accessories for my Canon 550D that I purchased online. I was excited to see how I can play with this camera more. I bought a lens hood and pop-up flash diffuser. While I know how the lens hood can help in my photos, I did not know what a pop-up flash diffuser is for. Just done a little reading and I decided to buy it since it cost only $10. Just for the fun.
I end up being a little disappointed with the lens hood because I took shots to compare but seems no difference. But maybe because I was in my room and not much direct sunlight. So I cannot judge the uselessness of the lens hood as yet. But the pop-up flash diffuser is quite fun already! With the ability to switch around with the 3 different colors, my photos with flash turned out quite different. In fact the while one, I believe the one I will use most often, helps soften the flash effect on the object. Below are the 4 shots I took. All photos are flash enabled. Top left is the one without the diffuser. Bottom left is the one with the white diffuser. But don’t think you can see a lot of difference from that shot. But from the enlarged photo, I can see the difference. While the top right is with the orange diffuser and the bottom right is with the blue diffuser.
Can’t wait for another photo taking day out!
Let the photos continue…
I was stuck under shelter for quite a while as it rained heavily midway through. Actually I did not quite like most of the photos I took. Because the photos were either over-exposed (due to the bright sun) or the animals were just too far (that is why a need for telephoto lens). However the telephoto lens is just too expensive for me. And to try solving the over-exposed problem, I have recently bought a lens hood to be attached to my lens. I have yet to receive my order for the hood. Hopefully I can learn more about photography as I continue to roam the country, places to places to take more photos!
I went to another park yesterday! Erm, photos will be up another time. :)
I was at Singapore Zoo two weeks ago. So can consider this an overdue entry. Last time I went to Singapore Zoo was probably 5 years ago. So I figured I should give the zoo a visit to see what changes there are. More important I am there to take more photos. Well the admission fee is still pretty costly, $18 per adult. Well anyway not visiting the zoo very often. So I think that price is quite alright, once a while. At least the zoo was not as mosquitoes infested as Kent Ridge Park that I went to previously.
I took hundreds of photos. But for viewing purpose, I have created 10 collages style photos and split 5 photos in this part and another 5 on part 2. Without further ado, here are the first 5…
Part 2 is tomorrow! :)

I believe I starting playing Casino City in Facebook no more than 2 months ago. Initially I found the game very fun – after all I like games where I can build my own city. That is why I like Social City and Restaurant City. Those two games I am still playing. But I have lost the fun in Casino City after very quickly expanding my casino to the max possible size. And with money so easy to earn (as you can see from the screen-shot, I have $7.5 million), the game really has no more playable level for me. Or rather no more aim. So just like how I left Zoo World, Hotel City and Cafe World, very soon I will stop Casino City too. Here is a screen-shot of my casino.
So what is another game I can try? :)
