Where can I find Good Biryani (not doused in Curry)?
One with actually flavourful rice. I know Bismillah gets a lot of flak, especially with their association with the Michelin Guide, but their rice is actually nice. Their proteins are rubbish though and the prices are high. Most friends I know recommend Biryani places with the rice not tasty and also drenched in curry. I feel this defeats the purpose of eating a biryani.

For context, im currently studying in poly while my bf is in a top jc in singapore (hes taking a lvl this year) We met each other in secondary school and hes prob one of the smartest in the school Recently, we were texting late at night and talking about our future. He told me that he wants to go overseas to study after As, aiming for top schools like oxbridge.

S&P 500 ‘No Dividend’ Fund launching in July - No withholding tax impact. New option for Singapore investors going forward
"The fund, XDIV, will sell holdings just before dividend dates and rotate into other S&P 500 ETFs to avoid taxable income, appealing to tax-aware investors" This will be a viable S&P500 alternative for Singapore investors that is even better than Ireland domiciled UCITS ETFs due to no tax drag at all. TL;DR is that the ETF holds other S&P500 ETFs and will sell holdings in one before dividends are paid and rotate into another ETF that has a different dividend date. Potential upsides are reduced commissions (LSE/EBS commissions are higher than US exchanges), avoiding the 15/30% WHT drag on total returns, reduced tracking errors as it holds a basket of S&P500 ETFs. Potential downsides are any drag from the reallocation, possible liquidity especially in the initial stages and tracking errors since it tracks other ETFs instead of the underlying 500 companies directly. Also, estate tax if you die while holding this versus Ireland domiciled UCITS. I will likely take a position upon launch to closely track its performance against the established ETFs. DYODD but consider keeping this on the radar. Might turn out to be a gem, might be a dud.

Found a whole flock of these birds in Chua Chu Kang. What are these?
They are occupying 5 trees along the road. Are they migratory birds?
