This item was last sold on : 07/10/20
Purple Ninja radishes are medium sized with an oblong shape coming to a thin point or tail at their tip. Their exterior skin is a vibrant purple hue and like many elongated radishes may have slight striations of darker color and fine hairs or short roots coming out of its skin. Their interior flesh is a star like burst of lavender to dark purple atop a white background. The radishes are capped with purple and green stems and green leaves. The radish offers a crisp bite and slightly spicy radish flavor.
Purple Ninja radishes have a peak season in the spring and early summer months then again in the fall.
Current Facts
The Purple Ninja radish is botanically a part of Raphanus sativus and a member of the Brassicaceae family. A relatively new variety the Purple Ninja has received accolades for its vibrant purple coloring and superior radish flavor.
Nutritional Value
Purple Ninja radish provides a great source of vitamin C, particularly when eaten raw. Additionally, they contain flavonoids and the antioxidant sulforaphane. The leafy greens of the Purple Ninja radish are edible as well and offer even more vitamin C than the root of the radish.
Both the greens and root of Purple Ninja radishes are edible and can be used in a number of both cooked and raw preparations. Sliced thin the root can be used to add a spicy bite to sandwiches, crudité, sushi, soups, and ceviche. Sliced Purple Ninja radish can also be added to salads and stir-fries or prepared preserved and pickled. Sliced radish can also be roasted which will impart a sweeter and less spicy flavor. The greens can be used in lieu of other greens such as chard or kale and added to soups and sautés. To store keep Purple Ninja radishes refrigerated and used within one to two weeks.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
Purple hued radishes have long been popular in Europe, China, and Japan. Their popularity in the United States, however, did not come about until fairly recent times beginning in the 1990's.
Purple Ninja radishes were first released to the marketplace in September of 2015. They were created by Babé Farms in the Santa Maria Valley of California. Started by founder Will Souza in 1986 the farm was born by Souza's travels in Europe, seeing there all the European produce varieties and baby sized vegetables. The Purple Ninja no doubt is a continuation of this inspiration as unique radishes such as this have long been popular in European countries. Distribution wise Purple Ninja radishes can be found when in season throughout the United States as well as parts of Canada and occasionally abroad.

On Monday, April 29 local businesses and downtown community members came together for the 14th annual Downtown Earth Day Cleanup. The annual event is part of Downtown Winnipeg BIZ's overall efforts to clean the downtown area and is a great opportunity for the community to get together for a fun day of cleaning!
A total of 383 business workers, residents and school groups joined the Enviro-Team and staff for the Cleanup at Thunderbird House and at Millennium Library Park. Participants picked up litter in the downtown area and successfully collected 4,188 lbs of garbage.
Prizes were given out to corporate teams who took their participation to another level:
- Most Lbs. of Litter Collected as a Team: Artis Reit
- Best Team Name: Trash Terminators by Triovest
We would like to thank everyone who participated at our 14th Annual Earth Day Cleanup. Your efforts have contributed to helping make our downtown clean and vibrant for the spring season!
We would also like to thank Tim Hortons who provided coffee for us in the morning, Sunshine Valley who provided their Honey Buzz energy drinks, 1-800-GOT-JUNK, The Winnipeg Free Press and to Energy 106 FM for their energy and enthusiasm throughout the day.
About the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ Enviro-Team
The Downtown Winnipeg BIZ Enviro-Team helps keep the downtown clean and looking great. Sixteen year-round staff and seven additional seasonal members pick up litter, water flowers, remove graffiti, remove posters, and clean downtown's sidewalks every day. Starting at 6:30 in the morning, sidewalk machines sweep and wash downtown, and in the winter two snow ploughs clear major sidewalks of ice and light snow. In 2017, The Enviro-Team was able to pick 44,562 pails of garbage by hand!

Located in a corner lot behind Carrefour, it is quite a busy square even at night. I can imagine the rental to be at 5 figures. Small nuclear families were having their meals when we arrived at 9:15pm. I guess not being a weekend the dinner crowd were gone. Most likely the night denizens will be in for their German beer and talking sweet nothings though the beer is in the vicinity of RM26 (excl. tax).
The restaurant look jaded through wear. The wait staff were enthusiastic and helpful and food came in a jiffy even though it was stated that a minimum of 25 minutes is needed to grill them.
Seafood Soup with a strong tomato base, was above average. The sour awakened the senses and the herbs aroused the taste buds. The seafood made up of shrimps and squid were just passengers.
Being used to sausages with a high flour content these were different. Rough the be exact. It was meatier with very little fat too. But palate-wise I still prefer the smoother version due to the addition of flour. Sausages should be grilled not pan-fried and over a perfect charcoal fire. It is up to the master to coax the best out of the sausages.
Overall it still taste a bit odd to my unrefined tongue in relation to sausages. Still it was a good meal. Maybe my next meal would be the German Pork Chop. A slab of meat is better than a tube of processed meat. My take.Other POV - Vkeong.

Pendant Luminaire
Back Download
Verner is a minimalist pendant luminaire which combines considerable light output with geometric aesthetics. It has been designed for high ceilings and open spaces where only little attention is to be directed towards the ceiling. The cone-shaped lampshade ensures that the glare-free light is directed downwards, intentionally avoiding the indirect illumination of the ceiling. The standard version of the LED light source reaches 2,400 Lumens while the high output model delivers over 4,200 Lumens.
Statement by the Jury
Clear lines, adopting a traditional design idiom, emphasise the high light output of this pendant luminaire.

Facts relating to the Punishment of Death in the Metropolis . By E . G . Wakefield . Second Edition . With an Appendix , concerning Murder fir the Sale of the Dead Body . London . Wilson , 1832 . E vei | . y legislator , every magistrate , every philosopher , every philanthropist * should study Mr . Wakefield ' s book ; and every one also who feela any interest in knowing how young children are entrapped by old
thieves into the commission of crime ; what time , pains , and money are expended in their seduction ; what instruction they get in Newgate and its sphool ; what becomes of them when they are turned , out pennyless and characterless into the world again ; how long an average career of plunder lasts ; what proportion of the sexes , and of different ages , is engaged in the profession of thievery ; how the chances of impunity are calculated ; what a total absence of prevention
there is all through ; how prosecutors , judges , and juries , are managed ; what a lottery of life and death follows capital conviction ; how humanity appears in the condemned cells , and on the scaffold ; and what a disgusting travesty of religion introduces the final scene- All this , and more , Mr . Wakefield has told , interspersing facts , which are not less important or authentic from having been unknown and unsuspected , with most judicious reflections and most graphic descriptions .
The Appendix to this edition consists only of a few pages , but they are well timed and well written . For the last seven or eight years resurrection-men have been hunted by the public much in the same way that cats used to be by mischievous schoolboys and their dogs . The old winking system has vanished , and , from the watchman to the justice , all have been on the alert . Schools of anatomy have been treated as if they were the world's deadly enemies ; and subjects being
necessary for their usefulness , the war has been waged in the most efficient way , by cutting off their supplies . Surgeons have been criminally convictedjof endeavouring to qualify themselves for their vocation , and found guilty of compassing the preservation of their patients' limbs and lives . The agents—bad enough , no doubt , — whom the state of the law compelled them to employ , have been
pursued with the utmost fury for , probably , the most beneficial act they ever did . The prejudice—not an unnatural one , but which might have been mitigated— -has been ministered to by senators , magistrates , and newspaper-writers , till it became perfectly insane . Not the murderer himself passed from the police-office to the gaol amid deeper bowlings or fiercer peltings than the detected body-snatcher . —As might have been expected , he became a murderer .
The Times of the 13 th of January copies the following paragraph from the Dublin Freeman ' s Journal : —> * On Saturday night , a resurrectionist , who went to pillage the graves in the churchyard of Hollywood , was shot dead , in the act of raising the body of Mr . Fitzgerald of Ardenode / The resurrectionist , had he decoyed Mr .

BMW art car collection - art drive! in london

art drive! BMW art car collection 1975-2010
july 21st - august 4th, 2012
great eastern street car park, shoreditch, london
the institute of contemporary arts (ICA) in london showcases the BMW art car collection, presented over six floors of the
NCP car park on great eastern street in shoreditch which designboom visited this past weekend. this is the first occasion
in which the vehicles are on show in the UK.
the initiative began more than 35 years ago when french racing driver and auctioneer hervé poulain invited his friend alexander calder
to design a car that married artistic excellence with 'an already perfect object'. the resulting automobile would compete in the
le mans 24-hour race in 1975 and hence the BMW art car was born. since then, other leading international artists have transformed
BMW cars including: frank stella, roy lichtenstein, andy warhol, ernst fuchs, robert rauschenberg, m.j nelson, ken done, matazo kayama,
cesar manrique, jeff koons, A.R. penck, esher mahlangu, sandro chia, jenny holzer and david hockney.
'art drive! - BMW art car collection 1975-2010' is presented in partnership with BMW, the mayor of london and the london 2012 festival
and will be on show until august 4th, 2012.

BMW art car M3 GT2 by jeff koons, 2010
the last car to join the collection is that by american artist jeff koons. as part of his creative process, the koons gathered images of race cars,
related graphics and combined them with vibrant colors expressing speed and explosions, resulting in a vivid work which exudes the feeling of power,
motion and bursting energy. the car's silver interior in combination with its striking exterior imparts a dynamic appearance,
even when it's standing still. first premiered on june 2nd, 2010 at the centre pompidou, koons's BMW art car went on to compete at the
24 hours of le mans on june 12th, 2010. the car he designed has been driven by andy priaulx (GB), dirk müller (DE) and dirk werner (DE).
it first started with the number 79 - atribute to andy warhol's BMW art car from 1979 - but encountered technical problems and had to retire
after only five hours of racing.
'these race cars are like life, they are powerful and there is a lot of energy. you can participate with it, add to it and let yourself
transcend with its energy. there is a lot of power under that hood and I want to let my ideas transcend with the car – it's really to
connect with that power.' - jeff koons

BMW art car 320 group 5 by roy lichtenstein, 1977

BMW art car 320 group 5 by roy lichtenstein, 1977
on his 1977 contribution to the collection, american pop artist roy lichtenstein said:
'I wanted the lines I painted to be a depiction of the road showing the car where to go. the design also shows the countryside
through which the car has travelled. even the sky and the sunshine are present. one could call it an enumeration of everything a car experiences -
only that this car reflects all of these things before actually having been on the road.'
lichtenstein combined these listed elements to create an almost abstract overall image. the painting on the car was transferred by
varnishing expert walter maurer and BMW designer wolfgang seehaus over the course of six days and six nights,
but because of the artist's precision, looks as if it has been applied by machine. blue dots and stripes in sun yellow and black stand out
from the white background, covering the vehicle in dynamic lines.
technical specs of lichtenstein's 320 group 5:
- 4-cylinder in-line engine
- displacement: 2,000 ccm

BMW art car M1 group 4 by andy warhol, 1979
the fourth car of the BMW art car collection is that of american pop artist andy warhol, and is probably the most well-known piece of the group.
warhol was the first artist to paint the entire vehicle single-handedly. his design features a BMW M1 saturated in paste-like colors:
two red tones, one powerful and rich, the other heavy with hints of violet, the color of ripened grapes, which run over the driver's side of the bonnet and roof.
a green which is reminiscent of moss and forests decorates the bottom side section and the rear, while the hues which cover the passenger side
are a pale yellow and sky blue, offering a lighter feeling. the divisions between the blocked tones are blurred having been overlapped,
smudged and spread by hand. the thick layers of paint which coat the car have been applied in brushstrokes and warhol's own fingers,
giving it a more sculptural and expressive character.
technical specs of warhol's M1 group 4:
- 6-cylinder in.line engine
- displacement: 3,498 ccm
- power output: 470 hp
- top speed: 310 km/h top speed
paint has been applied thickly over the car's surface, giving it a more sculptural character

BMW art car 635CSi by robert rauschenberg, 1986
with robert rauschenberg's 1986 car, pop art came to a temporary end in the collection. the artist restricted his work to
black and white using his designs to define various areas of the vehicle. for the first time, rauschenberg used reproductions of
prominent masterpieces including those by agnolo bronzino and jean dominique ingres which he applied with an 'image in an image' approach.
he used a photographic technology to generate the illustrations, his BMW art car being the first in which the graphics had been applied to a car with foil -
he made a conscious effort not to apply the layers of paint in order that the surface remain smooth. each of the wheel covers are decorated by
motifs derived from antique ornamental plates. overall, the american painter portrayed aspects from different eras of the western world:
ancient rome, renaissance and classicism.
technical specs of rauschenberg's BMW 635CSi:
- 6 cylinder in-line engine
- displacement: 3,430 ccm
- power output: 185hp
- top speed: 213 km/h
reproductions of masterpieces by such artists as agnolo bronzino and jean dominique ingres are featured on the car

BMW art car 535i by matazo kayama, 1990
the first asian artist to paint a BMW art car, matazo kayama wanted to 'combine an element of traditional japanese art forms
with an extremely modern art object.(…)'. his overall design is based on one of his earlier works whereby he covered the entire car
in a stylized snow motif in such a way that it glistens as if sun is reflecting off of its surface. he used deep blue oil paints
which he sprayed into rivers onto the silver BMW in a number of places, leaving each snowflake clearly visible through the layers.
applied with an airbrush technique, the snowflake formation runs along the hood, widening towards the rear as though strong winds
have scattered them over the car. amidst this, kayama has placed piece of silver, gold and aluminium foil which he cut in advance
into squares and dots using the japanese art of 'kirigane' (metal cutting) and 'arare' (foil printing).
technical specs of kayama's 535i:
- 6-cylinder in-line engine
- displacement: 3,430 cylinder capacity
- power output: 211 hp
- 231 km/h top speed

BMW art car 635CSi by ernst fuchs, 1982
austrian painter, sculptor, musician and architect ernst fuchs became the first european to paint a BMW art car after the american pop art artists in 1982.
given a BMW 635 CSi - a vehicle from series production - he covered his canvas in wild bolts of lightning and moving flames.
consisting of warm red tones combined with blue and yellow spread over the car's deep black foundation, the resulting look features dramatic
tongues of fire blazing from the engine and the four wheel covers, giving fuchs's piece a strong sense of dynamism.

BMW art car 525i by esther mahlangu
south african artist esther mahlangu's BMW art car expresses africa's love for the arcane play of decoration and colors.
mahlangu's vehicle is covered in decorative bands of geometric forms - triangles, rectangles, diamonds and cross-shaped symbols.
there is a complete absences of circles, ovals or any other curved configurations. the brightly colored panels - ochre, pink lavender,
turquoise and light blue, with accents of deep orange, green apple and blood red - are anchored by a fixed structure of white frames with black edging.
the patterns depicted bring forth the art of the ndebele tribe - of which mahlangu is a member - to the broader public.
technical specs of mahlangu's 525i:
- 6-cylinder in-line engine
- displacement: 2,494 ccm

BMW art car M3 group A race version by ken done
wanting to express his native homeland with his BMW art car, ken done knew he had to give his work something that was 'typically australian'.
influenced by what he saw in warhol's 1979 version, done wanted his design to exude the feeling of 'speed' and of course, 'australia'.
he chose to depict an abstract portrayal of parrots and parrottfish, two animals that are very popular 'down under'.
though he used templates for some of the shapes, for the most part, done painted the automobile by hand, executing a gradient which ranges in color
from warm yellows and reds on the hood, moving into cooler hues of blues and violet tones along the body of the car, finishing in black at the rear.
blue and green tones are meant to symbolize the abstract motif of parrottfish and their rapid zigzag movements in water.

BMW art car 850 CSi by david hockney, 1995
the master of perspectives, for a long time british artist david hockney resisted creating an art car as he felt he was not ready.
finally in 1995 he took on the challenge, whereby he turned the car 'inside out' putting the technology of the BMW 850CSi
on the exterior of the vehicle, making the bodywork seem transparent. 'BMW gave me a model of the car and I looked at it time and time again.
finally I thought it would be a good idea to show the car as if one could see inside, the engine, tires, seats and that sort of thing,' hockney explained.
on the hood, he painted parts of the 380 hp 12-cylinder engine: large grey cylinders and huge round intake manifolds. he stretched stylized tyre treads,
executed in black and white beyond the wheel arches, making it seem as if you are looking down through the metal from above. on the driver's side,
there is the silhouette of a human figure also in black and white, as if the shadow of the driver is on a canvas screen. on the passenger side,
roof and trunk, hockney has depicted a landscape in which we see a short stretch of grey road and a lot of green, the lushness of california's trees.

- V-12 cylinder in-line engine

a peace sign, two eyes which look seriously and a number of snakes stand in as symbols of nature. on the retractable driver's door an archaic stick
hunts an 'X' - the X-hunter being a favorite of penck's motifs.

BMW art car 3 series racing touring car prototype by sandro chia
unlike other artists, chia took it upon himself to approach BMW, offering to design an art car.
the entire body's surface is enveloped in disembodied and genderless faces, a theme which runs throughout his work,
which have been rendered in colored lines. they peer out at the observer from the green, yellow, red, brown and blue undergrowth of squares,
lines, circles, waves and streaks which chia had conjured on the body: mute, observant, solemn, sad, bitter, maybe cheerful -
the expressions unfathomable.
'I think that cars, especially BMW's, are desirable objects. they are not only made for driving but also to be seen on the street.
this car here, whose surface I have designed, reflects the gazes. it meets the people who look at it like a mirror.
you can see the beauty of the care and yourself reflected in the surface. it is an interchange of beauty.' - sandro chia
faces, a common theme in chia's work, cover the entirety of his BMW art car

BMW art car BMW M3 group A race version by michael jagamara nelson, 1989
'the car is a landscape, like you'd see from a plane - I included the water, the kangaroo and the opossum,' says australian artist michael jagamara nelson
of his BMW art car. the first second-hand vehicle in the collection, the 300hp BMW M3 racing car from BMW australia that nelson received
as his three-dimensional canvas had already won the AMSCAR championships down under. after two weeks of working it was transformed
into a masterpiece of aboriginal art in which nelson, using fine brush strokes and dots, illustrated stories and myths he had learned from his father
as a young boy. across the vehicle caves, kangaroos, snakes, and lightning flashes appear - all encoded. through his piece, nelson carries on the traditions
of his culture with his own signature aesthetic. we see vivid colors, occasional elements such as wavy lines or concentric circles -
together they look like a landscape photographed from the air. though the design may seem incomprehensible at first, it invites viewers to engage
in a dialogue between modern automobile and one of the oldest human cultures.

BMW art car 730i by césar manrique, 1990
spanish artist césar manrique applied his bold use of colors to his BMW 730i art car in the form of abstract patterns -
waves, circles and spots - captured in white, red, lilac, green and black. the curving lines which manrique has created complement
the shapes of the vehicle.
'a car is for getting quickly from one place to another. and when I think of speed, I immediately think of butterflies and dragonflies.
my idea was to design the BMW in such a way to give the impression of it effortlessly gliding without any resistance.' - césar manrique

BMW art car M1 group 4 by andy warhol, 1979
the first of the BMW art car collection was the concept of french man hervé poulain, who asked his good friend alexander calder
to design the first of what would become an ongoing initiative. it had always been poulain's wish as an auctioneer
and passionate racing driver to add 'artistic beauty to an already perfect object such as a racing car'. the brightly painted art car
by the american artist is covered in a geometric abstract pattern rendered in primary colors.

BMW art car 3.0 CSL by frank stella, 1976
american abstract expressionist and minimalist artist frank stella's 1976 car is a 'blueprint transferred onto the body' of a BMW 3.0 CSL.
the design is composed of tiny boxes - bundled into 10 x 10 square - surrounded by a thicker frame. on top of this grid,
thicker black lines have been painted which are like sewing pattern marks, stretched over the body which pay no attention to the
actual shapes of the car itself. the graphic image suggests that one could cut out these forms and put them together again in a new way
and is reminiscent of the templates used by engineers in technical drawings before the introduction of computers,
offering an aesthetic expression of technology.

BMW art car V12 LMR by jenny holzer, 1999
focusing on the reception of the written word at high speeds, american contemporary artist jenny holzer's 1999 art car is covered
in white paint in which she has featured several phrases: 'the unattainable is invariable attractive'; 'lack of charisma can be fatal';
'monomania is a prerequisite of success'; 'you are so complex you don't respond to danger'; 'what urge will save us now that sex won't';
and 'protect me from what I want'. her piece is characterized by a marked sense of minimalism compared with the bright colors usually
seen in the world of motorsport, the sentences written across the vehicle an expression of her thoughts on the racing sport.
'the intoxication of motorized speed appears to be every bit as strong as sexual fulfillment.' - jenny holzer

30th January 2019 @ 7:30 am - 9:15 am
*Fully Booked*
Council Corporate Plan and Budget
Last year Peter advised that despite significant cuts to public sector budgets in recent years; locally 65% in government grant between 2010 and 2018, there were bigger cuts still to come with insufficient reserves held to cover predicated shortfalls.
Quite a stark message.
Despite this challenging financial backdrop he went on to explain the opportunities for the town around inclusion, growth and futureproofing to make sure the council's working practices and services are sustainable and meet the future needs of the town.
These included supporting marginalised communities in the town and raising living standards, as well as continuing the regeneration of the town, developing new visitor attractions, expanding our cultural offer and supporting job creation.
Last year we were told to look out for potential development at West Marina, the Harbour and Sports Village amongst other opportunities including the need for better transport infrastructure. As we know some of these have already stalled or sunk without trace.
So to get the latest from the council on what they now see as the opportunities and challenges for the town; whether there are more cuts to come and the impact of these; their revised budget position and progress closing the previously forecasted deficits; plus plenty more make sure you attend our first meeting of 2019.

City of Costa MesaHome Menu
The beloved Snoopy House holiday display has been a Costa Mesa and Orange County holiday tradition since 1966, attracting an estimated 15,000 visitors annually.
Click here to watch a video about Snoopy House.
The holiday display features scenes populated by "Peanuts" characters and is open nightly from 5:30 to 9 p.m. December 13 - 22 in front of Costa Mesa City Hall, 77 Fair Drive. Opening night will be Dec. 13 with a formal presentation beginning at 5 p.m.
The event features free train rides, free cider, free photos with Santa, live performances on the community stage and an opportunity to purchase holiday treats from local organizations.
Santa makes special visits to the event every night beginning at 6 p.m.
Snoopy House first made its appearance at City Hall in 2011 when the Jordan family, faced with some difficult financial times, considered putting an end to the display. With the fate of the Snoopy House in jeopardy, the City of Costa Mesa agreed to host the display and provide other assistance. This partnership with the Jordan family saved the holiday tradition, provided an even larger venue and allowed for additional features including nightly live music and free train rides for children.

A wonderfully talented lady named Alice Finch has created a massive model of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, from Harry Potter, using Legos! As one would expect it took over a year to complete! But the details are AMAZING!
I have used Legos and I have built my kids models (using the directions), but this is thoroughly impressive! It even lights up! I can't imagine creating something like this.
Slytherin Common Room

She put so much detail into this! She even has the Gray Lady!

As if that obviousness wasn't enough!
From far, it still looked like a shadow,
Some doubts thus still lingered,
On your lips there's no answer yet.
Couldn't those moments be bit more expressive?
If those clouds wouldn't hide anything!
What more there to be naked?
It can't be more both calm and restless and therefore inviting.
Let's not let it be dry,
'Coz you can always catch and stop time.
Or you can choose to fly like a butterfly often with no intention.
To lose can't be a sin.
We'd rather embrace and sweat with our yearnings.
This mystery and you, here I breathe,
A little inception in the now is what I only long for.
The deep urge of this urgency can be welcomed.
Then take a shower in the drops of uneasiness.
And curl me inside with your legs.
More incidents will not precipitate more love.
It's impossible to find discontinuity with an open eye.
And I won't stop drinking you.

|S$ 5.00 Chicken Chop
BF came over to my house with Popiahs (spring roll) for my family and waited quite awhile for me to get ready. I didn't get to taste the Popiah when I got back home at night though... My mum said it was very yummy and she finished them all with my brothers. =(

Operating Hours: Mon to Sat - 11.30am - 9.30pm (last order), Sunday - 11.30am - 9.00 pm (last order)
Website: http://www.saveur.sg/
Contact: +65 6736 1121 (No Reservations)
Saveur has two branches, the one I visited is at Far East Plaza (Orchard) and the other at Bugis. The Orchard's branch was pretty small and according to my friend, Huiping, Bugis' Saveur is more spacious. The eight of us waited for 10-15 minutes for the staff to prepare our table and they were quite particular about the full attendance of our mentioned-number-of-pax-at-the-start as the waitress asked us 'All 8 of you are here?' before we could enter the restaurant.
|Saveur's Entrance
|Saveur's Interior
|Table for 8
|Choices choices
We've ordered 3 Duck Confit and 5 Chicken Roulade as our individual mains. BF and I ordered Salmon Confit as our starter.
|Salmon Confit ($9.90 before taxes)
|Duck Confit ($12.90 before taxes)
|Duck Confit (side profile)
The highly raved Duck Confit isn't famous for nothing. Seen many pictures of it via Instagram and Facebook, now it's my turn to try! The meat was really tender, smooth mashed potato, tasty sauteed shiitake mushroom which my BF kept stealing from my plate -.- and the oranges were sweet! Very good combination and this is definitely gonna be a MUST TRY dish whenever one visits Saveur.
|Chicken Roulade ($9.90 before taxes)
|Cookies & Milk ($9.90 before taxes)
|Cookies & Milk - Cookie dough ice cream, milk soil, honey cloud, cherries kirsch & peanut butter
Overall, the dining experience at Saveur was satisfying. French food was well-known for having small portion of food and being expensive on the contrary. Saveur offers good french-styled food at affordable prices. I've never tried dining in an authentic French restaurant before so I could't make a fair comparison in terms of their food quality. I'll probably try the other branch at Bugis and order more variety of dishes soon! This isn't a place where you can chit-chat after the meal as there'll always be a long queue and the staff will 'chase you away' courteously.

2019 Rugby World Cup – Japan vs Russia Preview & Prediction
When is Japan vs Russia taking place? Friday 20th September, 2019 – 11:45 (UK)
Where is Japan vs Russia taking place? Tokoyo Stadium, Tokoyo
What is the expected weather for Japan vs Russia? 27c but rain could hit during the game
What television channel is Japan vs Russia on in the UK? This match will be televised live on ITV 1
Where can I stream Japan vs Russia? This match can be streamed via ITV Hub
Where can I get tickets for Japan vs Russia? https://www.rugbyworldcup.com/tickets
Last meeting: Russia 27-32 Japan
- Japan will get the 2019 Rugby World Cup underway with a clash against Russia in Tokyo as the hosts attempt to progress out of the pools for the first time in their history and will hope they can continue the form they showed in the recent IRB Pacific Nations Cup.
- The Japanese will feel like they have been handed one of the best draws that they could have hoped for and are likely going to battle it out with Scotland for second place in Pool A with Ireland short-priced favourites to top the group.
- Japan will be looking to achieve third place in the pool at the very least which would secure their spot at the 2023 World Cup and skipper Michael Leitch will be the driving force behind their efforts at flanker.
- Russia will hope to take full advantage of their opportunity to appear in just their second Rugby World Cup after they qualified by virtue of Romania's disqualification for fielding ineligible players during qualifying.
- The Russians have never won a game at the Rugby World Cup having lost all four of their games in New Zealand in 2011 and their recent form also leaves a lot to be desired with Italy putting them to the sword as they conceded 85 points in their warm-up game.
- Russia are likely to be reliant on 34-year-old fly-half Yuri Kushnarev if they are to have a successful tournament and his experience will be crucial to guiding his side around the field but he will need support from his teammates.
Japan shocked the world at the last Rugby World Cup when they pulled off one of the most incredible results of all-time. They defeated South Africa with a brilliant display but were unable to capitalise as they failed to advance to the knockout stages. They will hope for better luck in the tournament they are hosting and can get off to a good start against Russia with the Pacific Nations Cup champions able to build on the form they showed in that competition.

Cash to meet rising social care costs and extra funds to repair potholes were announced by Philip Hammond to ease the pressure on town hall budgets.
Local government chiefs have suffered years of cuts and the Chancellor acknowledged they had "made a significant contribution to repairing the public finances".
But council leaders warned that the announcements fall short of what is required and financial pressures meant services including libraries, parks and street cleaning remained under threat.
In Budget measures to tackle the social care crisis, Mr Hammond promised £650 million of grant funding for English authorities for 2019-20 and an additional £45 million for the disabled facilities grant in England in 2018-19.
A further £84 million will expand children's social care programmes.
Setting out a new mandatory business rates relief for public lavatories, Mr Hammond joked it meant councils can now "relieve themselves".
And local highways authorities will benefit from a £420 million fund to tackle potholes, bridge repairs and other minor works.
Local Government Association (LGA) chairman Lord Porter said: "Today's Budget shows the Government has started to listen to the LGA's call for desperately needed investment in our under-pressure local services, but falls short of what we need in the long-term.
"Councils were at the front of the queue when austerity started so local services should be at the front of the queue if it is coming to an end."
While the social care funding will ease some of the immediate pressures facing councils "this cannot be a one-off", he said.
"Local government in England continues to face significant funding gaps and rising demand for adult social care, children's services and homelessness support will continue to threaten other services our communities rely on, like running libraries, cleaning streets and maintaining park spaces.
"Councils also continue to face huge uncertainty about how they will pay for local services into the next decade and beyond."
Paul Carter, chairman of the County Councils Network and leader of Kent County Council, said: "The funding announced will help protect social care services, help meet the rising demand for care, and support fixing potholes."
But he added "there still remains uncertainty over our future funding levels for councils".

A giant floating trash collector heads for Pacific garbage patch
|On Sept. 8, an ungainly, 2,000-foot-long contraption will steam under the Golden Gate Bridge in what's either a brilliant quest or a fool's errand.
Dubbed the Ocean Cleanup Project, this giant sea sieve consists of pipes that float at the surface of the water with netting below, corralling trash in the center of a U-shaped design.
The purpose of this bizarre gizmo is as laudable as it is head-scratching: to collect millions of tons of garbage from what's known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which can harm and even kill whales, dolphins, seals, fish and turtles that consume it or become entangled in it, according to researchers at Britain's University of Plymouth.
The project is the expensive, untried brainchild of a 23-year-old Dutch college dropout named Boyan Slat, who was so disgusted by the plastic waste he encountered diving off Greece as a teen that he has devoted his life to cleaning up the mess.
Along with detractors who want to prioritize halting the flow of plastics into the ocean, the Dutch nonprofit gathered support from several foundations and philanthropists, including billionaire Salesforce founder Marc Benioff. In 2017, the Ocean Cleanup Project received $5.9 million in donations and reported reserves from donations in previous years of $17 million.
How it works
The Ocean Cleanup Project's passive system involves a floating series of connected pipes the length of five football fields that float at the surface of the ocean. Each closed pipe is 4 feet in diameter. Below these hang a 9-foot net skirt.
The system moves more slowly than the water, allowing the currents and waves to push trash into its center to collect it. Floating particles are captured by the net while the push of water against the net propels fish and other marine life under and beyond.
The system is fitted with solar-powered lights and anti-collision systems to keep any stray ships from running into it, along with cameras, sensors and satellites that allow it to communicate with its creators.
For the most part the system will operate on its own, though a few engineers will remain on a nearby ship to observe. Periodically a garbage ship will be sent out to scoop up the collected trash and transport it to shore, where it will be recycled.
Misguided focus
Marine biologists who study the problem say at this point things are so bad that it's worth a shot.
"I applaud the efforts to remove plastics -- clearly any piece of debris cleared from the ocean is helpful," said Rolf Halden, a professor of environmental health engineering at Arizona State University.
But he added a caveat, namely that there's not much point to cleaning up the mess unless we also stop the tons of plastic entering the oceans each day. "If you allow the doors to be open during a sand storm while you're vacuuming, you won't get very far," Halden said.
And that gets at the heart of some of the criticism.
Stopping plastics from making their way into the oceans "should be the focus of 95 percent of our current effort, with the remaining 5 percent on clean up," said Richard Thompson, who heads the International Marine Litter Research Unit at the University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom.
"If we consider cleanup to be a center stage solution, then we accept it is OK to contaminate the oceans and that our children and our children's children will continue to clean up the mess," he said.
Another concern is that the project only targets plastic pollution floating at the top of the ocean, although researchers have found microplastics from the waves all the way down to the sea floor.
"They're not all buoyant. Some sink, some remain floating at different levels based on their density and the water pressure," said Charles Rolsky, a Ph.D. researcher who studies ocean plastic pollution at Arizona State University.
There's also the possibility that the contraption might break up in storms and simply make more plastic trash.
"The ocean is strong and powerful and likes to rip things up," said Miriam Goldstein, director of ocean policy at the Center for American Progress and an oceanographer who together with physical oceanographer Kim Martini has been publishing critiques of the project.
The foundation -- which openly refers to itself as a "moon shot project" -- responds that cleanups are an important part of the story.
"The current plastic pollution will not go away by itself," spokesman Rick van Holst Pellekaan told USA TODAY in an email.
To deal with the baseline problem, he said the project is considering spinoff systems for coastal areas and rivers that would intercept plastic before it reaches the ocean.
There's a lot to be stopped. As much as 9.5 million tons of trash is deposited into the ocean each year, according to a report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Plastic is different than other trash because it never decomposes. While it breaks down into smaller and smaller parts called microplastics, they never become bioavailable, meaning they can never provide nourishment to marine life.
The biggest sources today are countries that have rapidly developing consumer economies but whose waste management practices haven't caught up, often in Asia.
"They simply don't have the systems in place to deal with this nondegradable material," Goldstein said.
Discovering the Patch
First described in 1988, ocean-borne trash patches such as the Pacific one consist of a huge concentration of garbage, mostly made up of plastics. Due to circulating ocean currents called gyres (something like slow-moving whirlpools) they accumulate floating trash in areas hundreds of miles across. There are five gyres worldwide, according to the National Ocean Service.
About 70 percent of the litter in these patches is made up of plastic, according to a British study published last year, with close to 50 percent made up of discarded fishing nets, a study published by the Ocean Cleanup Project found earlier this year.
It was cleaning up these convergence zones that obsessed Slat after his high school diving experience. He eventually presented a TED talk on some of his ideas after he graduated from high school in 2013.
That talk went viral, a crowdfunding project to raise money to implement a cleanup began, and Slat ended up dropping out of the aerospace engineering department at Delft University to focus on the cleanup.
Fast forward five years, and a team of international engineers and scientists who have been working to build the cleanup system across the bay from San Francisco are weeks away from launch.
The plan
The project's first cleanup system is scheduled to be towed out to a spot 240 nautical miles off the U.S. coast on Sept. 8, from a dock in Alameda, California, where it's being built. It will spend between 40 and 60 days there for real-world testing.
The event will be live-streamed online, and the nonprofit is also welcoming supporters to come see it in person as it sets off on its maiden voyage.
If it performs well, the system will then be towed out a further 960 miles to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch between California and Hawaii.
The goal is to deploy 60 such systems by 2020, which the group believes will clean up 50 percent of the garbage in the garbage patch in five years time.
While the scientists who study ocean plastic pollution aren't convinced this will fix the problem, it might help bring the problem more into the public eye. In Rolskly's opinion, there's just one good thing about plastic pollution -- it's one of the few forms of pollution you can see with the naked eye, which may in the end be what helps end it.
"It's really repellant," he said. "It triggers the right emotions to get the political will to implement change."
