Chung Cheng Chilli Mee.Prawn Mee.Laksa (Golden Mile Food Centre)

Chung Cheng Chilli Mee.Prawn Mee.Laksa frequently caught my attention whenever I walk pass the stall in Golden Mile Food Centre (Beach Road Army Market). Why? Well 2 reasons. Firstly, there is always a perpetual queue. Secondly, they sell Chilli Mee. (my thought was 'what the hell is Chilli Mee?') They also sell Prawn Mee and Laksa besides Chilli Mee. Chilli Mee is their speciality.

I have never heard of Chilli Mee before and decided to try it out one day.
Perpetual queue at the stall, waited about 20 minutes. Below the signboard are displays of magazines and newspaper articles featuring this stall.
At last, it is my turn to order!
Chilli Mee $4.00
Chilli Mee served with a bowl of prawn soup
The Chilli Mee consist of prawns, fish cakes, tau pork, pork ribs, bean sprouts, slices of hard boiled egg, yellow noodles and the chilli paste. What a unique combination and generous portion of ingredients for just $4. Give it a good mix to ensure that all ingredients are well coated with the chilli paste.

The main ingredient in this case will be the chilli paste. It was an awesome combination of sweetness and spiceness. It was not overly spicy and I found myself walking over to the stall to request for more chilli paste halfway into this meal. Shiok!! It was made from belachan, garlic, onion, shrimp, chilli and other spices. I also like the pork ribs as they were cooked till soft, tender and savory. But the prawns were disappointing, meat was chewy and soft; not fresh.

Overall, the Chilli Mee was unique and really delicious! Foodies should give this a try, you never know what you are missing till you try it.

Coca-Cola Hug Me Machine in NUS

Coca-Cola marketing campaigns and videos never fail to impress me.
Coke Hug Me Machine - Hug the vending machine and get a coke! I wish I am still back in National University of Singapore! Looks fun!

Chanced upon this video (top) and reminded me of the past commercials. Hence this post. =)
.
1979 Mean Joe Greene Coke Commercial - part of 'Have a Coke and a Smile' ad campaign. Caught the most attention when it was aired during the 1980 Super Bowl. Won a Clio Award for the best ad and is known as one of the top 10 commercial all time by multiple sources
1993 Coca Cola Polar Bear Commercial - One of the classics shown worldwide.
Coca Cola Coke Factory - Shown worldwide. Executed to perfection and done tastefully.

Coke Happiness Machine - A machine that not only dispense coke but also happiness. You will never know what you will get from the coke machine! (One can literally say to the machine 'Surprise me' and get really wowed). Spreading happiness around the campus. Giving big items to share among the students to spread the love. Sharing is caring.

Recent hype:
Self-Freezing Coke


Even in movies: The Gods Must Be Crazy

Not forgetting the Coke and Mentos reaction

Just in case you are wondering what is the market share between Coke and Pepsi:
1) Coke        17%
2) Diet Coke 9.9%
3) Pepsi        9.5%
