Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice Restaurant

Singapore - Since Air wants to eat Singapore chicken rice, I brought her and Lesley to one of Singapore best chicken rice restaurant - Boon Tong Kee located at Balestier.   I arrived earlier and had to take a number while wanting for Lesley and Air to arrive.  The crowds kept coming to this popular chicken rice restaurant.

Signature chicken dish
The chicken meat is very succulent and tender to the taste. 

3 eggs and vegetables
This is a unique dish served at few restaurants in Singapore - in this dish it comes with 3 types of eggs - chicken eggs, salted duck eggs and century duck eggs.

Long beans vegetable dish
This is a mixture vegetable dish with Long beans, cabbage, chye poh and bean curd diced and sautéed to taste.

Fried bean curd
This dish as a unique taste with the inside soft.  After dinner, it was raining 'cats and dogs', so we had to abandon our desire to taste good durians along Balestier road.

Vegetables with Chinese wolf berries
Steam Soon Hock
 This fish fish called locally as "Soon Hock" or Marble Goby has a very succulent and tender flesh and when steamed the flesh just melts in your mouth.   A common but premium fresh water fish in Singapore sold in many restaurants.    We import them primarily from Malaysia.

Prawns
Banana Fritters
Deep fried banana fritters then dipped in cold ice water to crystallised the sugar and give the outer coat a crunchy taste.

Eric Kayser - famous French baker @ AEON Mall

Phnom Penh - Eric Kayer comes from a family of famous French bakers - all 3 generations.   He has not 1 but 5 Eric Kayser bakeries in Cambodia.   I was walking around Aeon Mall and came across this French bakery near the toilet.   The eclair was really good.

Cheung Ek "Killing Fields"

Phnom Penh -  I took a taxi to Choeung Ek Genocidal Center which is the most well known of over 300 killing fields throughout Cambodia.   This place of interest is the #1 "Things to do in Cambodia" on TripAdvisor.  This is one very sick and disturbing past of Cambodia.   Entrance fee for foreigners only USD 6 which comes with headphones and audio player.   A total of 19 stations to cover.

Welcome to this Genocidal Center

Truck Stop
This is the location where the truck stops to bring the prisoners to be executed and is also the start of the audio station.   Once completed, I just walk to the next station and the audio explanation was very good.

Gloomy detention center

Mass Grave of 450 victims 
It was a very solemn and quiet with all tourist just bowing their heads like prayer for the lost and sad souls that died here.

Memorial Stupa
Thousands of skulls and bones of murdered victims


Top of the memorial stupa
It was shocking to see humans killing humans - man, woman and child,  Cambodians killing Cambodians.   One sorry chapter of their history and pray it does not repeat again.
