Getting to Sunset Grill

Sunset Grill is in the middle of god-knows-where in Seletar amidst airplane hangars and a few parked private jets. It is also on the premises of the Singapore Flying Club. To get there, you take the TPE and get off at Exit 12, Jalan Kayu.

The first minor complication is to take the right turnoff, which is the sneakily small little one on the right of Church of Epiphany (church immediately on your left).

You will arrive at a circus, take the Picadilly turnoff, I'm not kidding. Then on Picadilly Road, you go straight till there's no more road and you see Seletar Camp in your face. Do not go on, there is a left turn, take it (not the one with the bus stop, the one before).

The road winds to the right, and takes you to Old Birdcage Walk. Turn left and stay on the road.

Here it gets real dicey. Go on past the white colonial houses on your left, when you get to the T-junction, take a right, the road winds left again (on the right is a dead end, it's some gate to the army base).

Now the road gets dark, go straight on and you will see white signs for some place that ISN'T Sunset Grill. Follow the signs. You will come to a really dark spot with a sign saying turn right, do it cos there's nothing else if you go straight.

It's pitch dark. Turn on high beam, the road winds to the right (in front is a dead end with a fence). Keep going till you see the hangars.

Another sign says turn left, now you will wonder if you ventured onto some restricted area cos the road is a single lane leading into the airplane hangars. Look left and you will see this small building with bright yellow fluorescent bulbs.

That's the place. So go on straight, and turn left when you run out of road. The carpark is a few metres ahead on the left.

At level 5, Daniel did not feel the kick till after his 2nd wing,

Spanish food in Manila


Wednesday night Boss and I went to Terry's for dinner with Tony & Charmi somewhere in the upper-class parts of Manila....Terry's serves Spanish cuisine fused with some Filipino like this hunk of roasted pork which we had to pre-order.

The skin is crispy like the Chinese-style roasted pig, but the meat is so soft it almost melts in your mouth. Plus a thin layer of fat and you've got a truly Yummy mouthful of roasted piggy.

wurst being grilled (uncanny resemblance to you know who's.....)

mushrooms sauteed in olive oil with parma ham
We also had squid ink paella, not photographed.
