Filipino Food in Tanjong Pagar: Kamayan

**KAMAYAN is now back in Tanjong Pagar**

Another Establishment here in Singapore which sells Filipino Food.

 

Kamayan, not to be confused with the Kamayan restaurant in the Philippines, is located at the corner of Craig and Tanjong Pagar Road, it is also an establishment away from Duxton Rd.

Nearest MRT’s are Tanjong Pagar and Outram Park.

 

Here are some photos I have taken while walking by Tanjong Pagar.

They also have a store which is almost beside the restaurant.

And as per my new “guidelines” for this category, here are some things you should know:

Food that is readily prepared is available: Yes

You can choose from their counter and you can ask them to prepare Sisig, Lechon Kawali, and Crispy Pata (deep fried pork knuckles).

Day Visited for the first time: Monday

Time/Meal: Dinner

Day Visited for the second time: Wednesday

Time/Meal: Dinner

The place does not have air conditioners so I honestly think that dinner is the best meal to eat here. 

Good for Corporate Lunch/Dinners: No

Good to eat with Foreign Friends: Maybe for the adventurous

The Place is very near Duxton St. which have dozens of night clubs/bars. Filipinas working at these bars are regular customers of Kamayan so I am not sure if your foreign friends will be comfortable eating here.

You may also want to consider your time of visit. Since this restaurant is busy before and after these bars/clubs open.

Recommended for people who will try Philippine Cuisine for the first time: Maybe for the adventurous – please see my reason above.

Here are additional photos taken during the night.

I have heard that this actually is open until the bars/clubs of Duxton st. closes which is around 2a.m. perfect for those who are craving for Filipino food almost 24 hours a day.

Superbowl (2009) Ads!

I have always wanted to be in advertising. I think it’s the feeling of seeing the fruit of your labor every time you turn on the TV or listen to your car’s radio.

 

However, as opportunities to work in an advertising agency never came, all I can do is appreciate all those advertisements done by those in the field.

 

This year’s (2009) Superbowl was special, America is having one of the worst recessions in their history and 30 second Ad for the Superbowl seemed to be a bit too expensive. Ads with this price should reach their target market or at the least some attention as all companies would like to earn on every investment they make.

 

Of all the Ads in this year’s Superbowl, here are my TOP 4 favorites. Please note that I did not include movie previews.

 

#4. Doritos

 

#3. Doritos

 

#2. Bridgestone Tires

 

#1. Bud Light
