I forgot where I took this photo. Is it in Bugis Junction? I cannot remember. I just remember it’s on the day I met Ang Ku.

It’s very funny. On the bun itself, it has a chinese note, saying: I’m not real. I asked Ang Ku, can I take the photo? Ang Ku told me go ahead. So, I quickly took my camera and just shoot. Luckily, it’s not blur.

After took the photo, we just walked away. We never tried. It’s a bun with pepper, pork and fresh onion. Look nice, but is it tastes nice? I don’t know. Maybe next time I can go and try it.

I met Ang Ku twice when I’m in Singapore. I forgot to bring the stuff to him when we first met, so no choice but to meet up another time. We agreed to meet at the Clarke Quay MRT station at 6pm since Ang Ku was working on that day.

Ang Ku was late again, or should I say I’m too early? Haha, anyway, we manage to meet up again. We went to the Clarke Quay Mall (Is that the name?? I’m not sure). The building was pretty new and the structure was weird. YES, I say WEIRD. Many of the shop units were unoccupied and not many people as well. But, I’m sure, If I go there again this year or next, it will be different!

Since we cannot find any restaurant in the mall that we want, Ang Ku suggested we went for the Taiwanese Food in Bugis. We took a bus there. That will be the one and only time I took the bus during this trip. ๐Ÿ™‚ It was raining at that time. It was raining everyday though. Sigh.

The Taiwanese Food were nice! I will go there and eat again if I visit Singapore next time. Thanks Ang Ku for bringing me there. He posted the pics before in his blog, but I will post it again.

It’s like “Lor Mai Kai” but a bit hard, make it not so nice.

This is nice!

The chicken is spicy, very good!

This noodle soup Oyster Mee Sua is a bit sour, I’m not really like it. I think Ang Ku knew since I only ate little and he finished all. Wakakaka.

“Zha Jiang” noodle or so call minced pork with sauce noodle (My very own version). Nice.

This yam “Tang Yuan” is good! Yummy.

Next time if you go Singapore, you can go try it out. It’s in Bugis but I don’t have the address. Oh, this shop is recommended by the Singapore TV station!

I need to write this before I really forget about it. Before I start, let me tell you some background. Let me start with this: Once upon a time in a far away land…… Hahaha, just kidding.

I knew Kuan Kong and Ang Ku from Penang Hokkien. I think I no need to introduce Ang Ku anymore, since he is very famous now. Let me introduce Kuan Kong to you all, in case you don’t know who is he. Kuan Kong is one of the early member in Penang Hokkien. He joined many of the show in the early stage. But later, he was busy in his study and left PGHK for quite some time. Remeber his famous quote? Do you know why his name is Kuang kong? If you don’t know, go find it out from Penang Hokkien Podcast. ๐Ÿ™‚

He was back to Malaysia and in Singapore for the time being. I message him in MSN one day and knew that he was in Singapore. Coincidentally, I’m going to Singapore when he was there. Since I cannot meet him in Malaysia, I plan to meet him in Singapore. Kuan Kong agreed. Of cause, the gathering is with Ang Ku as well.

I waited them for around 30 minutes in Jurong Entertainment Center. I only can call Ang Ku but not Kuan Kong. He doesn’t have phone there. Luckily, he turned up at last. Ang Ku reached later. We were hungry and we went for the food court and got some food. We have chicken rice, vegetables and wantan soup. The chicken rice was so so, not that good. The vegetables were bad! There were in sweet soy sauce! My god, can you imagine vegetables dip in sweet sauce? Terrible! The wantan soup was ok.

Is this looked familiar? YES, Tox used it before and put his head on it. Remember? HAHA.

After lunch, we went to China Town. Kuan Kong suggested to go visit the temple. For the temple posts and photos, please go to Temple Exhibition Photograph and Buddha Tooth Relics Temple.

After the temple visit, we went to Cineleisure in Orchard for Karaoke.

To be continue…… Kuan Kong’s photos coming up next!

(Hey, Kuan Kong, you must pay me advertisment fee for promoting and introducing you here!)

I met up with my friend BT on Sunday, 9 Dec at Woodlands Causeway Point (Yes, I’m back on the Singapore Trip, Hehehe). It’s raining on that day, I still remember. BT was already there waiting for me.

I was hungry at that time and so BT. We straight away went to search for the food. We cannot make the decision and at last we went into this shop, Yoshinoya. It’s japanese food. They have few kind of set lunch. I ordered the salmon set and BT ordered beef set.

This is not the Yoshinoya that we have our lunch. This is another branch located at Marina Square.

Do you notice it has 2 layers of tray? You know why?
img_4510.JPG

Here’s why. The rice is at the bottom tray.
img_4511.JPG

The food was too salty!! I’m not a person who will eat too salty food. So, you can know what I will comment. The food was not really special, you can actually find it from any of the japanese stall. It’s just a piece of salmon, salad, and fried food (I’m not sure what is that. It’s some sort like “chim zhor”. I don’t know how to say it in English. Anyway, you can see from the photo.). Not really recommended, unless you want to try it out. No next time for me.

Later, we went to quite a lot of places, including Bugis Junction, China Town, Suntec and Marina Square. Remember the Earthquake? Yes, I have my 2nd Earthquake on that day in Suntec. ๐Ÿ™‚ We walked the whole afternoon, walked until my leg pain. For the dinner, we have it in Burger King.

It’s nice for me to meet up BT in Singapore. Hopefully he will get his broadband soon. Then we can chat and he can read my blog! Hahahaha. ๐Ÿ˜€

I like Earthquake so much. Don’t misunderstand ya…… The Eqarthquake I mentioned is not the Earthquake that you think off. It’s a name of the ice cream in Swensens. It contains 8 scoops of ice cream. You can choose the flavour you want from the menu. I already forgot how many of them all together.

I have 2 Earthquakes in Singapore. Yes, 2!!! Hoon treat me one and another one is treated by my friend, BT. I have 2 Earthquakes in 3 days time, so happy. Thanks to Hoon and BT.

I still remember the very first time I have this Earthquake ice cream. My sister came back from US and brought us there. The Swensens was located in Tanjung Bunga. I think at the time, that Swensens is the one and only Swensens in Penang. We went with my mom. I cannot remember why my brother was not there. Anyway, I fall in love with Earthquake from that time onwards.

Now, we can get Swensens in Queensbay Mall and Autocity. For those who like ice cream, Swensens is another choice for you. Ok, I will stop writing and let you all see the Earthquake!!

Bukit Panjang Swensens (or Bukit Timah?? I forgot. Haha.)

I like to go IKEA. I just like to see the decorations they have. They decorate it in such a nice way. I have gone to IKEA in US and KL. Now, Singapore’s IKEA. ๐Ÿ™‚

img_4324.JPG

Hoon brought me there. We just walked around without buying anything. I think the main purpose we go there just to have IKEA tour and have lunch! Hahahaha, always food.

IKEA is famous for its meatballs. Hoon ordered for me. She also ordered chicken wings, broccoli’s soup, and fish and chip and a cheese cake. (I forgot about the cheese cake, I suddenly remembered and add it in). We cannot finished the chicken wing and cheese cake. Hoon let me took home. ๐Ÿ™‚

Just curious, why Penang doesn’t want to have one IKEA? Is it not enough land? Or is it not high demand? Hmmmm……….

After posting so many good food (Although I still have a lot waiting for me to post), I want to share with you the bad food in Singapore. In future, don’t ever order the food that I post here. If not, you will regret.

I went out with Ang Ku and Kuan Kong on Saturday. We went to China town there and have some dessert since we are thirsty. Ang Ku ordered Chendol, I ordered Mango and Honey Dew Ice Pudding for me and Kuan Kong. First, the portion is very small. So little!! Second, when we put the dessert into our mouth, my goodness……. Totally not nice!! Third, it’s not cheap! The Mango dessert costs $4!! Can you imagine that? The previous one that I have it in the food court is much much nicer and cheaper!! For the Chendol, it was the worst Chendol I had in my whole life! I never have such a Chendol before!! The taste is so salty, like you are drinking a slat water. So, don’t go and eat there if you come to Singapore! TWO Thumbs DOWN!!

Another bad food is my all time favourite, Wantan Mee. I joined my cousin and aunties to the shopping mall today to have breakfast. It’s the Hong Kong style food court. I didn’t consider it as a restaurant since it’s open air. It’s located at IMM mall 3rd floor, just in front of Daiso. The Wantan Mee costs $4.30 per plate! How expensive it was. If it’s nice, then ok la…… But it’s not. I still prefer the Wantan Mee with Char Siew. Not recommended. Not worth it!

I reached Singapore early in the morning, around 6 something. Before reached the checkpoint, it was so jam. I was out from the Woodlands checkpoint at 6.40am, got into the cab and headed to my aunt’s place.

My aunt waited for me since I don’t have small change, she helped to pay for the fees. It costs $10.70. It’s consider cheap! If you take the cab after 7am, you will need to pay additional $2. Lucky me, the bus reached early. ๐Ÿ™‚

The first thing I have is the Gardenia Banana Walnut bread. My aunt knew I like this bread so much, she bought it for me. How nice! I took 2 slices. But you know me la, still feel hungry. We decided to go out for breakfast. Before we going out, the sky become dark, seems like going to rain.

We managed to go out and have breakfast in the cloudy weather. Guess what I have? Hehehe, I’m sure most of you will know this time. Yes lo…. Correct lo…. My all time favourite! Wahahaha.

Wantan Mee Stall

After breakfast, we walked to the market nearby. Hoon sms me at 10am and we walked back to home. Hoon took me to her house, then follow her round here and there from 12.15pm until 1.30pm. After she settle her 2 lovely daughters, we went for lunch.

Hoon suggested Pastamania but when we went up on the escalator, we saw Sakae Sushi. Hoon keep asking what I wanted to have for lunch. I cin cai one mar…. In the end, we walked into Sakae Sushi. ๐Ÿ™‚

I ordered Teppanyaki Chicken Set Lunch while Hoon ordered Soft Crab. Before the main food arrived, we took some sushi from the sushi conveyor belt (I asked Hoon, she said it’s called conveyor belt. I have no idea). My Teppanyaki Chicken Set Lunch came with many stuff: Chicken (Of coz got chicken la…. if not why call Chicken set??), Vegetables, Cuttle Fish, Rice and Miso Soup. I’m so full after having all of them. Hoon only ate her soft crab and one plate of sushi. Tell you one thing, Hoon was really good in eating wasabi.

My mum cooked Huan Zhu Ty’ng yesterday. At first, I planned to buy the “Tong Sui” (dessert) near my house but then my mum said she has cooked the Huan Zhu Ty’ng. OK, great, let me save my money.

I like all the desserts. From Ang Dao Ty’ng, Lek Dao Ty’ng, Bee Kor Moi, Bubur Char Char, Kan Tung until Tor Dao Ty’ng, all I like. ๐Ÿ˜€ You can know that I’m a Tam Chiak person.

Ham Chim Peng 1

Ham Chim Peng 2

Overall, the Ham Chim Peng is nice. I only manage to eat the one with red bean. The one with glutinous rice, I took it home for my mum. You need to eat the Ham Chim Peng when it’s hot. It’s not that nice anymore if it becomes cold.

The Hua Chi was only so so. Other stall one will put sugar and you can feel the sweetness and crunchy when you bite on it. Too bad I didn’t take the photo. It’s already inside my stomach when I took the above photos.

If you want, you can go to Batu Lanchang market to try it out. It’s selling at RM0.70 each (Previously is only RM0.60. Price just increase recently due to the flour). The stall is closed on Sunday and Friday.
