Little Fish Shop (nex)
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is the true seafood paradise.
From obscure varieties of fish to a straightforward seafood paella, this is where you can extend your palate without being embarrassed, thanks to the helpful, knowledgeable and sincere waiters here.
We ordered the paella ($39.90 for two persons). The portion was not overwhelming and it was chockfull of mussels, prawns, scallops etc. While not traditional (pan, saffron etc.), it was a decent take on a favourite dish.
Our neighbours had the barramundi and sockeye salmon. It looked and smelt delicious. It was a huge hunk of fish, as opposed to the miserable slivers you get at other restaurants.
We also had a Peach & Honey smoothie and a lemonade cooler, both delightfully-mixed drinks that washed the meal down really well.
I can't wait to come back to try their fish entrees.

Crazy, Stupid, Love
Steve Carell brings that endearing quirkiness we first saw in Little Miss Sunshine to the fore once again. Sure, he may be getting typecast as a lovable loser going through a mid-life crisis (a-la 40-Year-Old Virgin), but this empathetic endeavour maintains its appeal for now.
This feel-good rom-com reinforces the institution of true love, if not marriage, and one of the best parts is where all the characters come together for the first time; their genuine surprise mirrors that of the audience.
The standout scene for me is when Emily (Julianne Moore) calls Cal (Steve Carell) ostensibly having a problem with the heater, but she calls only to hear his voice as a source of comfort; what she doesn't realise is that he's in her backyard secretly doing some gardening. Awww.
All in all, a heartwarming if cliched movie holds its own with its formidable cast; Carell alludes to this when it rains during his most depressing moment: "What a cliche," he deadpans. Definitely one ti bring your better half to, if only to appreciate him/her all the more for who they are.
PS: Doesn't Emma Stone look like the 50-ft woman from Monsters vs Aliens?!
