Ever since there is a budget airline, many people who never fly before can have their dreams come true. They can fly with the cheap airfare to most of the destination they desire. Because of this, major airlines are also having all kind of promotions, just to get their customer back and have a better revenue. With all these promotions, the people like us are the big winner. We can choose where to go by searching for the cheap flights, and not forcing ourselves to buy the expensive air tickets from certain company.

In order to get cheap airline tickets, most of the time we need to plan ahead. The airline will have the promotions at their convenience. We need to grab the ticket as soon as possible, if not the ticket price will be increased. The most convenient way to plan your trip is searching through the Internet. Cheap Flight Service is one of the website which provides this kind of service. Besides searching for the cheap tickets, one also can search for the hotels and cars in a few clicks away. From there, it is guaranteed that you can get the cheap flight, cheap hotels and cheap cars within your budget.

I always want to go to Las Vegas if I have the chance. Last time when I was in US, I only went to Los Angeles and San Francisco. I planned to go to the US again next year. By that time, I need to ask my sister to bring me there. The first thing that comes into my mind about las vegas nevada is the casino. Las Vegas is a well known place for its casino. I wish to see it with my own eyes and hope it can bring me some luck on winning the jackpot.

I like to go travel. I can see a lot of different stuffs and cultures from different country. Normally, if I go for a vacation, I would like to travel for free and easy. I can have all my time to go to the places I like. However, free and easy also has its bad part. You need to plan it very well. If not, you will waste a lot of time and cannot visit all the places you want to.

If you are lazy to plan, travel agent can help you out. TravelStoreUSA.com is one of them. They provide a lot of vacation destination including Holland America cruise line. Many cruise groups are available for you to choose from.

I think it’s time for you to plan your vacation now.

OK, this will be the last post on food I have in Singapore.

I went to Golden Mile on the last day to take bus back to Penang. After getting the bus number, we (my aunt and I) decided to have some food since it’s still early. We went around the Golden Mile Complex and finally decided to have dinner at this thai restaurant. We just simply pick since this is the one with more customers.

We ordered fried rice and tom yam. The fried rice was normal but I like the tom yam. These were the last food I have during this Singapore Trip.

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!
img_4595.JPG

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.
img_4596.JPG

“Zha Jiang” noodle or so call minced pork with sauce noodle (My very own version). Nice.
img_4597.JPG

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.

img_4358.JPG

Is this looked familiar? YES, Tox used it before and put his head on it. Remember? HAHA.
img_4356.JPG

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!

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.

img_4509.JPG

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.)

Here’s the photos for the temple. The outlook of the temple is very grand. Not only the outlook, if you go inside, you can see that the structure of the building is fantastic. I’m very impressed on their work.

For those who stayed in Singapore and never been there, please spend some time to go visit this temple. It is worth for visiting.

On the day I met AngKu and Kuan Kong, we went to Chinatown. I forgot why we decided to go there, maybe it’s near to the Cineleisure in Orchard. Out of my expectation, Kuan Kong suggested to visit the temple near by. I was like “WAH…… Go to temple lo…… Unexpected wor…… Kuan Kong also wants to go temple”. AngKu was having the same thinking as mine. Why we think the same? If you see Kuan Kong, then you will know la…… He is not that kind of people who will go to temple from his outlook. Hahahahaha. Anyway, AngKu guided us to go there. AngKu knew about it. For sure he knew.

The temple was newly built, 2 years before, it was not there. The temple is having the exhibition, photograph exhibition. Besides, there was also the story of Buddha and all kind of stone carving and Buddha statue. On the top floor, there was a nice garden, full of orchid. Such a nice view. Oh, before I forgot, the temple called “Fo Ya Si”.I don’t know the English name, so sorry. Maybe AngKu knew about it. Anyone who know, please help to leave on the comment ya…… ๐Ÿ™‚ In English, it’s called Buddha Tooth Relics Temple Singapore (BTRTS). Thanks AngKu for providing the name!!

I took some of the nice photos from the exhibition. I was amazed on the photography skills they have. The photos were great! No wonder they won prizes for the competition.

I manage to took the photo of Kuan Kong without his notice. He was paying attention looking to those photos. Is the photo looks like God of Gambler? LOL. ๐Ÿ˜€

For the temple’s photos, I will upload them on the next post.

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!
