Which would Jolly Lucy choose?

 Wasn't that an obvious choice?

Lychee Mojito definitely suits Lucy's style.

How about some boutique bread to go along.

Images of Singapore

Mini Frederic Fox takes you to a walk on a Sunday evening to show you some images of Singapore.

This is the old supreme court building of Singapore, now on the way being refurbished into a cultural arts center.

Mini Frederic at the Padang with image of Swissôtel The Stamford behind.

Looks like a soccer match is on at the Padang (field).

There are so many open fields in Singapore but only this green patch is called the Padang.

Frederic is now at a war memorial cenotaph at Singapore's Esplanade park.

The cenotaph was built in memory of the soldiers who died in World War I

The cenotaph war memorial was later dedicated to the Singapore residents who perished in the World War II.

Frederic Fox is passing by the Esplanade park on the way to...

Singapore's Esplanade

Frederic Fox heard some music coming from the Esplanade outdoor stage ♪♫♪♫

Frederic grabs a seat and enjoys the performance. See you next time round on the Images of Singapore.

Swee Kee Chicken Rice

Today Jolly Lucy visits Swee Kee Chicken Rice at Johor Bahru (JB)

We are not sure whether this Swee Kee chicken rice has anything to do with the legendary Swee Kee chicken rice that ruled Malaysia, Singapore and was touted to be the best Hainanese chicken rice in the world.

A little history for Swee Kee chicken rice. It is a well-known Hainanese dish called Wenchang chicken (文昌雞). Kumpung chicken (kampung means "village" in Malay) is used for this Swee Kee chicken rice which is more tender and less fatty than normal chicken.

Swee Kee chicken rice is reasonably priced. 1 whole kumpung chicken for RM32, half kumpung chicken for RM18.

 We ordered one 'white chicken' which has a jelly-like skin texture and a roasted chicken, toppled with an extra plate of chicken 'stomach'.

Swee Kee chicken rice's kumpung chicken is tender, firm and springy.

Swee kee's chicken rice is flavorful, tasty and not oily.

The chicken 'stomach' (the proper name - Chicken Gizzard) at Swee Kee Chicken Rice is very well cooked to perfection. Not overcooked and not undercooked.

We ordered something out of the norm from a chicken rice stall. A plate of fried baby squids! Swee Kee Chicken Rice offers a few cooked restaurant dishes for you to choose from. This is just one of the many.

Swee Kee Chicken Rice is definitely a well worth visit and Jolly Lucy will definitely be back again!

Jolly Logan Jolly Logan is here

Jolly Logan is here! Finally after many months of not buying any new NICI toys, Jolly Logan arrived along with his partner Jolly Katie

Jolly Logan is a sheep in wolf's clothing, as opposed to NICI's trademark Jolly Wolf (Wolf in Sheep's clothing). Jolly Logan has extremely soft and fluffy wolf's plush that resembles Milo Gorilla and Rob Raccoon.

After removing Jolly Logan's hood, his white sheepy true face reveals beneath. What a cheeky little sheep, Jolly Logan even has a zip to his hood.

In 2007 NICI Germany created the wolf in sheep's clothing. It became an icon for NICI and soon later in January 2013, Jolly Logan was created to extend that legacy.

Jolly Katie, Jolly Logan and Jolly Wolf (from left to right).

Jolly Katie came as part of Jolly Logan's inauguration to NICI world.

Jolly Katie spots a pink nose, pink ribbon and most significantly a pink pocket on both sides of her body strikes a imminent dejavu to the classic Jolly Rosa. We shall talk more about Jolly Katie in future posts for this is Jolly Logan's page today.

Naturally, Jolly Logan and Jolly Katie is a happily ever after love story,

However...

Something amiss is lurking behind Logan and Katie
.
.
.

Wait! What's going on here? Another Jolly Logan that is more handsome, bigger, stronger and full of charisma?

TBig Jolly Logan asks for Katie's hand! What should we do now? two Jolly Logans but only one Jolly Katie!
