Honey Roasted: BMW 335i Convertible

Well, that's how dark one would get driving around top-down in the 335i Convertible. It's a retractable hard-top now by the way, as opposed to rag-top the E46 was stuck with, although most traditionalists would prefer a soft-top. the hard-top adds a decent degree of rigidity to the chassis though. thankfully, the backside doesn't look as heavy or droopy-bottomed as some of the other hardtop convertibles in the market.


So rather than be burnt to a golden brown crisp, the next closest thing is...?

A hearty lunch of BBQ char siew and roast duck of course, at Alex Eating House along Beach Road, a place I've heard a lot about from their many fans.


the place was packed and the service, slow. the meat was a little too salty for my tastes too. i think ill stick to my usual bbq meat fix in Ubi where the meat is juicy and flavourful without recourse to too much salt.

Thankfully, there was this to get back to after lunch:
