Kids eat free at Wanton Fu for first 2 weeks in Jun
Here's some great news to kick off the June school holiday season. From 31 May to 15 Jun, all kids below 16 get to eat a FREE bowl of Noodles with every paying adult at Wanton Fu, a popular noodle spot at ARC 380 in Jalan Besar. After an unexpected closing early this year, Wanton Fu relocated to another unit in the same building in Mar. This marks their 8th year in the Jalan Besar estate since their opening in 2018, and they've proudly garnered a small but loyal customer base in this neighbourhood. Their Signature Fu Noodles (Dry/Soup) go at S$5.50 for a small and S$6.50 for a large portion. This 2-week Wanton Fu promo only applies to the small bowl, but you get to enjoy it for half the price, so I'd say that's a pretty good deal regardless. Though only the Wanton Noodles are free for kids, who's to say the paying adult can't order other dishes? Have a taste of their crowd-favourite Fried Set Combo (S$8.50 for small, S$9.50 for large) and Roast Pork Set Combo (S$8.50 for small, S$9.50 for large). Pork Belly Noodles at S$8, say whaaat? With a perfect balance of fat and meat, one bite of this pork belly will put you right in vacation mode. Not to mention, their wantons and dumplings are wrapped by hand, and the char siew and roasted pork are roasted by themselves, too! This place got standard one hor. Open till 12am on weekdays, Wanton Fu is the perfect spot for a quick lunch fix or even a sinful late-night supper. Hopefully, your teenager isn't asleep by then. Other than the fact that it's only valid for dine-in, there are no other conditions to this Wanton Fu promo. So set aside your doubts, and head down to Wanton Fu to spend some quality family time this June holiday, indulging in their robust noodles and plump homemade wantons. 11 best wanton mee spots in Singapore that will leave you 'wanton' more The post Kids eat free at Wanton Fu for first 2 weeks in Jun appeared first on

Josh Freese Theorizes Why He Was Fired from the Foo Fighters: A Poodle Obsession, No Facial Hair and More
Josh Freese was fired from the Foo Fighters on May 16 Days later, the drummer posted a list of possible reasons that he and the rock band parted ways Freese joined the Foo Fighters in May 2023 after Taylor Hawkins diedJosh Freese has some ideas about why his gig with the Foo Fighters didn't work out. After two years as the drummer for the rock band following Taylor Hawkins' death, Freese, 52, announced that they were parting ways on Friday, May 16. Days later, Freese posted about what he thinks led to the sudden departure. On May 19, the musician posted a cheeky list on Instagram titled "Top 10 possible reasons Freese got booted from the Foos" in descending order. "#lol #peaceoutrainbowtrout #byefelicia," he captioned the post. One reason Freese listed was for that he "once whistled 'My Hero' for a solid week on tour." He also guessed that because he could only name one Fugazi song and that he never tried growing a beard his stint with the Foo Fighters was short-lived. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! Other reasons listed included his "metronome-like precision behind the kit [was] deemed 'soulless,' " asking that every rehearsal began with a "20 minute cowbell sound bath" and not showing up to the studio "because Mercury was in retrograde." He also promised The Offspring musician Noodles that "he could be fourth guitarist." Noodles, 62, joked in the comments, "But you PROMISED." The drummer teased that he "refused to perform unless he was guaranteed a Ouija board and nunchucks after every show." Freese concluded the list with perhaps the most egregious reason: "the whole poodle thing was getting to be a bit much." In Freese's defense, he is a devoted poodle dad to several poodles. Freese joined the Foo Fighters members Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee in May 2023. "The Foo Fighters called me Monday night to let me know they've decided 'to go in a different direction with their drummer.' No reason was given. :(,' Freese wrote in an Instagram post. "Regardless, I enjoyed the past two years with them, both on and off stage, and I support whatever they feel is best for the band." He added that it was his time being fired from a band. Freese noted he was "not angry — just a bit shocked and disappointed." "But as most of you know I've always worked freelance and bounced between bands so, I'm fine," he concluded.

Josh Freese lists 10 reasons he got fired from Foo Fighters
Ex-Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese has shared a list of 10 reasons why he might have been fired from the band. Freese announced he had been booted last Thursday, sharing that the band had done so with the "non-explanation" that they'd decided to go in a different direction. "No reason was given." Freese, who has played with a who's who of artists from Sting and Guns N' Roses to Nine Inch Nails and Weezer, said he was "shocked and disappointed" by the decision, but added, "Stay tuned for my Top 10 possible reasons Josh got booted from the Foo Fighters' list." The promised list included: "Once whistled My Hero for a week solid on tour"; "Never even once tried growing a beard"; and "could only name one song" by Grohl's hometown heroes, Fugazi. He also revealed he'd promised Noodles, his former bandmate in the Offspring, that he could be the Foos' fourth guitarist. ("But you promised!" Noodles joked in the comments.) After months of speculation, Freese joined the band officially in May 2023 in the wake of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins' sudden death while the group was on tour in South America. The Foos have kept a relatively low profile in recent months, and have just one upcoming show on the books, an October date in Singapore.
