First Myanmar Cafe opens in the heart of town
Located in the School of the Arts (SOTA), Avenue'J is a newly opened cafe serving up authentic Burmese cuisine.
Avenue'J is a homegrown brand from Myanmar, with 2 outlets in Sanchaung Township, Yangon. In fact, this is the first outlet they have opened overseas! Unlike other Burmese food establishments in Singapore, Avenue'J has a warm, minimalistic aesthetic, blending modern and traditional elements seamlessly.
You can start your meal with the Lahpet Thoke (S$10), a Burmese tea leaf salad with contrasting textures and bold flavours that make for a unique and refreshing dish.
Nan Gyi Thoke (S$12) (above, left) and Mohinga (S$15) (above, right) are dishes I've seen many customers ordering. Nan Gyi Thoke is a thick rice noodle dish tossed in a fragrant curry sauce, while the Mohinga, Myanmar's national dish, is an aromatic fish noodle soup.
For a cafe that focuses on Burmese cuisine, it is surprising to see quite a number of customers raving about their Brownie (S$5) too! One netizen even mentioned that it is 'one of the best I have had in Singapore'.
Don't forget their interesting drinks menu. They have a Burmese Ceylon Tea (S$6) which seems to be what most customers are ordering. This cafe also serves up specialty coffee using their own blend of coffee beans from Myanmar, for those who simply want a midday pick-me-up.
The menu at Avenue'J is broad and they have so much to offer—rice, curry, pastries and other homemade dishes.
So, if you are ever in town looking for a good study or hangout spot with something different, Avenue'J is the place to go!
In light of the recent earthquake in Myanmar, Avenue'J is also raising awareness and donating to relief efforts, and encouraging others to do the same. You can help out simply by visiting Avenue'J today.

'We couldn't believe it': Giant python wrangled, caught by 3 hunters in Everglades
The famous quote from the movie Jaws is "You're gonna need a bigger boat." This line is spoken by Chief Martin Brody (played by Roy Scheider) to Quint (played by Robert Shaw) during the film. The line is used to emphasize the inadequacy of their current boat in the face of the shark. For Zach Hoffman, Jan Gianello and Justice Sargood it wasn't a bigger boat they needed when they caught a massive Burmese python on May 31. They needed a bigger tape measure. "Working in construction, I have a pretty good eye for measurements, so when numbers started to get thrown around about the length, I knew they were short of what we had caught," Hoffman said of the 105-pound female invasive snake. "At first we measured with a 15-foot tape measure that we had lying around, and it wasn't long enough. Then I took a measurement with a 25-foot tape. When I read the number out loud we couldn't believe it." They measured the python at 16 feet, 8 inches. It weighed 105 pounds with no contents in its stomach or eggs. "Two hundred inches on the button," Hoffman said. The snake was caught near Everglades City, Hoffman said. They caught it at 12:30 a.m. on their way home after an uneventful night of hunting Florida's most wanted invasive species. "We decided to check one last spot on our drive home." Hoffman said. "A few miles in, Justice said (from the front seat of the truck) 'IIs that a shadow?''. Hoffman was in the back seat. "I looked up and said 'That's no shadow'. Before the truck could even come to a complete stop we had jumped out and ran over to this snake which was laying halfway on the road, half in the ditch," Hoffman said. Without hesitation Hoffman said Justice grabbed the python by the head and started to wrestle with the snake. "Jan and myself controlled the rest of the body so it didn't coil up too tight," Hoffman said. "As soon as we had control over the snake, it was ethically dispatched. Then the realization of what we just caught started to set in." Not quite a record, but a sizeable catch to say the least.

"We made phone calls to friends that we knew were out hunting, sent texts to family, it was a big deal for us." The photo has made the rounds on social media, including Hoffman's Instagram page @SWFL_REAPER. The experience of hunting pythons paid off with this catch, Hoffman said. "This is none of our first rodeos. I've been hunting for two years now. I introduced Justice and Jan to the sport a year ago, where we ended up catching our previous biggest (10 feet, 2 inches). This snake blows all of our best snakes out of the water," Hoffman said. Hoffman estimated that as a group, he, Gianello and Sargoodwe've have caughtmore than 100 pythons. "Justice and Jan have been hitting it hard, putting 25 hours a week into python hunting, whereas I can only go a night or two a month with them," Hoffman said. "They have earned this snake, and hopefully a spot on FWC's Python hunting program as well." After the kill the snake was skinned with portions of its meat donated and consumed among friends and family. Hoffman said the skin will be tanned and put on display inside the house. It was an unforgettable experience for the commercial plumber from Boston, Massachusetts, who has lived in SWFL for four years. "We need more people out there eliminating these snakes," Hoffman said. "We will never be able to stop them, but we can put a big dent on the negative impacts they have on our natural wildlife. However, as big of an ecological threat these snakes may impose on our natural resources, the biggest threat is over development." A group of python hunters caught the longest Burmese python ever measured on July 10, 2023, in the Big Cypress National Preserve in eastern Collier County. The monster snake was 19 feet long.

Bold & Beautiful Preview: Luna's Plan for Steffy Pushes Sheila Too Far!
Based on the latest Bold & Beautiful preview, it appears that Sheila's had a change of heart when it comes to Steffy. Why do we say that? Because it appears that the woman who once posed a major threat to Steffy is about to become… her protector? Yeah, we definitely didn't see that one coming, but read on for details! More from Bold & Beautiful Exit Strategy: Luna's Murderous Scheme Sets the Stage for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's Maternity Leave Lest anyone forget that Liam is dying, the latest video preview kicks off with him admitting that he has no idea how to say farewell to his daughters. The more cynical among us suspect that will never actually happen. Surely the experimental treatment Grace has suggested will extend Liam's life, perhaps indefinitely.) More: Proof Carter learned nothing from Thomas But the real trouble is brewing between Steffy and her in-laws. While it's unclear whether the Forrester exec is talking about Sheila or Luna, one thing is unmistakable: Her determination to keep her loved ones safe. 'She is a monster,' Steffy declares, telling Hope and Ridge that they must 'do anything to keep her away from me and my family!' It seems likely she's speaking of Luna, whom Steffy recently caught trying to bond with Finn. And as if to prove us right, Luna is seen talking to her newly-found grandma. It seems Luna has finally come to realize that Steffy is about as likely to accept her as she is to let Finn make out with Hope again. That being the case, 'Why don't we just eliminate that threat?' the young lunatic suggests. Which is where things get interesting. Because while there was a time Sheila would have made that suggestion herself, we're apparently in the age of a kinder, gentler Mrs. Sharpe. In fact, as you can see for yourself in the clip below, she shuts that idea down pronto! Will Luna listen to her grammy… or perhaps convince Sheila that together, they could push Steffy out of the picture and make new memories with Finn? Want to see just how ironic ? Check out this gallery featuring all the madwoman's past antics… including attempts on her daughter-in-law's life!

Bold & Beautiful Preview: Luna's Armed and Aiming For Steffy! Will She Kill Her New Dad's Wife?
Sometimes on soaps, things escalate quickly. That explains how over the past few days, Bold & Beautiful's Luna went from verbally jousting with would-be rival Electra to suggesting she and grandma Sheila join forces to get rid of Steffy! Fortunately, Sheila is a whole new person, right? She's exorcised her demons thanks to the love of a good decent man. But look closely at the scene in which this proposition was put forth, and you'll see a glimmer of the old Sheila. One who, if only for a split second, thought, 'Life would be easier without Steffy!' More from The Life and Crimes Bold & Beautiful's Luna Nozawa Although Sheila is determined to prevent her grandchild from spiraling out of control, the fact that Luna has already killed two men might indicate it's too late. And as the scenes for this week indicate, Luna is about to run out and get herself a gun. Now, do any of us really think for a second that the soap would let the double murderess make it a threefer by rubbing out Steffy? Certainly not. She will remain front and center until the day that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood wants to exit stage left a la Susan Flannery, for whose indomitable character the younger woman is named. But Steffy will need to vanish from the canvas for a hot minute so her portrayer can give birth to her and hubby Elan Ruspoli's fifth child. With her due date rapidly approaching, it's a safe bet that Luna's latest descent into madness will play a role in Steffy's upcoming departure. The real question is exactly how things will play out over the next few weeks. And as you might guess, we have thoughts on that! Luna kidnaps Steffy. And why not? She's done it before, drugging Steffy and leaving her locked in a cage in a building that was scheduled for demolition. This possibility gives Sheila a chance to discover what her granddaughter has done and actually behave in a sane, rational manner for a change. (She's even advising Luna to steer clear of Steffy.) Sheila could take over her daughter-in-law's care, whereas Luna was going to leave her to starve. So by the time the prisoner escaped — or was set free by Sheila — Steffy would begrudgingly feel indebted to her monster-in-law. Luna might be sent straight back to the slammer, but Granny might end up in those Forrester-Finnegan family photos after all! Luna kills Steffy. That is, she 'kills' Steffy. Luna thinks that she's removed the one obstacle to a relationship with Finn, maybe by running her stepmother off the road (like Maw May did Li). Luna delights in 'being there' for Finn in his hour of need and even suggesting that Sheila should rejoice: This is her big chance to bond with him, too! Little do either of them know that an amnesiac Steffy has washed up on the beach and embarked on a friendship with a sexy surfer (maybe played by Days of Our Lives' Greg Vaughan, ex-Eric). By the time Steffy discovers her true identity, maybe she's caught feelings for the new guy and returns home not only determined to get Luna sent up the river but forget the handsome stranger who accidentally touched her heart. Luna's determination to get all up-close and personal with Finn could drive Steffy to say, 'See ya!' She's done it before, after all. When the going gets too rough, she gets going, if only to regroup and come back stronger than ever. (Right, Sheila?) But that would be the least dramatic of the options. Which one do you think the show will go with? Sound off in the comments below after checking out the new photo gallery below; it's a !
