Ippudo Ramen @ Mandarin Gallery

The review of this restaurant was very good. That's why no matter what time i go, the queue is always very long. You will have to wait almost an hour and sometimes even more than that.

Another interesting observation was that there were a lot of japanese men eating alone there. I think it must be really good and taste really local for them to queue so long for it even though they were eating alone.

Most of the waiters there were japanese and they usually communicate with the costumers in japanese. This was quite difficult for me coz i have returned everything that i have learnt back to the lecturer so usually i would just smile and pretend that i understand. lol

I tried 3 of their specialties - Shiromaru Classic with Chasu, Akamaru Modern with Egg and Kyushu Miso with Tokotsu.

The classic one was a bit bland if you eat with other flavours. But quite a number of them actually ordered this.

For me, I preferred the Akamaru one. It is pork stock boiled with

red miso and a dash of black garlic oil. I am not a fan of miso but this is really yummy. I like the taste of this soup base. More flavourful. Noodles are ultra thin and flat, a Hakata specialty.

Their noodles are usually quite small portion but they allow you to order another bowl of noodles ($2 I think) if you have sufficient soup left. You can top up your ingredients (such as pork for $3 and egg for $2) too. For me, their ingredients were really too little so i usually will add the chasu aka pork.

If you use a certain credit card to pay, you will be able to get free green tea ice cream. Cannot remember which credit card, most probably is OCBC. But the friendly waiters will be happy to advise you on this.

Actually I have eaten Ippudo ramen in Hokkaido but i dunno whether it was due to 心里作用，i just didn't think that it was as delicious as the one that i have eaten in Hokkaido. I remembered the pork melted in my mouth and the soup was the most delicious one that i have tasted. Was it due to the ingredients in Singapore or was it just me? But it is still definitely one of the best ramen in Singapore!

Kluang - TP Alumni Trip

It was raining cats and dogs last Sat morning. I was supposed to meet the rest at 6am in TP. As my house is just a road across the bus stop, i thought i could dash across without having to bring umbrella to Malaysia. But the rain was really heavy. Even though i was under the shelter, the rain splashed inside as though there was no shelter. I was shivering and could not move an inch. In the end, i had to brave myself and dashed across the road so that i won't be late. When i was on the bus, i couldn't stop shivering on my seat. But a group of old ladies boarded the bus and i had no choice but to stand up and offered my seat. So awful.. I had to stand and shiver all the way to Tampines. After i reached Sheena's house bus stop, i had to withstand the cold wind and rain for more than 30 mins before bus no 15 finally arrived. Luckily, the bus we catered was late too so the group was still waiting at TP. What a disaster morning!

As there was jam at the expressway, we thought we will definitely be late for the train. Luckily, we reached just on the dot. We took bus no 160 in Woodland and walked over to the train station at JB to take the 9am train to Kluang. It was RM17 i think. But the train was late and would only reach at 10am. Thus I went over to City Square to buy breakfast with Weilin, Wanting and Eng Chun (the CO gang). I tried the kuan lao mee but totally not nice. But the bee hoon that Weilin bought was totally awesome. I should eat that next time. It was also cheaper than my RM4 noodle.

We have 53 people travelling thus the whole train cabin was our people. It was fun and a lot of them kept taking pics at the train station. We reached Kluang around lunch time thus Yeuan Huei took us to eat at Lau Pa Sat. Mok (Cindy's cousin - a local) said that the coffee there is the nicest coffee in Kluang. I tried Wanton Noodle, Hao Fun and toasted bread there. Everything was cheap but ordinary. I love the toasted bread though. The kaya was yummy and the butter melted in the hot crispy toast. Lovely!

Yeuan Huei took us to the Honeyland to buy nonya kweh, cakes, egg tarts etc. As i went there before, i didnt eat anything there this time. I am not a fan of egg tarts. But Darren gave me his green tea egg tart so i tried it for the first time. It had a strong green tea taste but i still don't like egg tarts.

After the tea break at the Honeyland, we went to purchase the coffee powder and tau sa piah. Both shops were introduced by Channel 8 many years ago. I bought the coffee powder previously and my parents hated it thus i didnt dare to buy this time. It was cheap and many of my colleagues love it. I guess different people have different taste. But the tau sa piah (salty version) was fantastic. It was nice and fresh with super low price of RM2.80 per roll of 5. My parents and colleagues love this.

On our way to the hotel, Sheena bought a very nice and cheap hula hoop at a cane shop for RM12. She was very pleased with it coz it was cheaper than what her sister paid for in Singapore. I was influenced by her so i bought one of a lower quality but of the same price in Kluang Mall when we went shopping on the next day.

We checked into the Ailang Hotel which was opposite Kluang Parade. The room was around RM60 per night. It was clean and comfortable but there was no lift and breakfast provided. Try to ask for lower floor if your luggage is heavy or if you are not the type who love stairs.

We gathered at the lobby after a short rest and headed to the Gunung Lambak. We had to take a bus trip that cost RM1 and walked quite a distance to the entrance of the mountain. There was a lot of monkeys there. The climb was not an easy one thus when i reached the mid-hill, i told Sheena that i rather stayed there to play with the squirrels. But Sheena very keen to climb so i had to climb too. It was frightening as the terrains was high and uneven. We have to keep using ropes and trees. People in front and behind me kept felling down so i was extremely careful when walking. I kept thinking how am i going to climb down after reaching the peak. Scary. When i finally reached the peak, they told me that a local told them there was another easy way down at the other side of the peak. Thus we tried that road. It was really easier than the previous road but it was slippery due to the rain in the morning. As usual, i was extremely slow so as to make sure i won't slip and fall down. Due to my carefulness, i reached the entrance safely without any injury. Btw, i must thank the guys in front and behind me. They were very nice and offered help whenever they saw me struggling. Actually i was lucky, there was 2 groups behind us and we waited quite some time for them especially the last group. The 2nd last group was lost and luckily they met a jogger and led them back to the correct path. Paul was with the last group trying his best to help the girls. The forest was in total darkness when they were walking down. We almost wanted to call the police after an hour of wait. Next time, i think we should ask everyone to bring a torch. Or maybe this should be done in the morning instead of afternoon.

Mok's mum was extremely friendly. She came out to look for us and brought us to the bus stop so that we won't lost our way. I like her. Very nice and friendly lady. By the time, we went back for dinner, it was almost 9pm.

As everyone was hungry, we proceeded to eat our dinner at the food street opposite our hotel in our smelly clothes. I tried the Mee Hoon Kuey and Pig Trotter with Yam Rice. It tasted ordinary but the price was really cheap. Sheena let me tried her dumpling and i didnt like it too. The flour was too thick and the soup had very strong ginger taste. But the satay that Yeuan Huei bought was nice. Not much fats and they were very generous with their satay sauce.

Before we headed to watch midnight show, we went back for a shower and a short nap. I was so sleepy that i even thought of giving up watching the movie. But i have paid for it thus i decided to go even though the movie cost only RM9. The popcorns combo was cheap too. Only RM8 with 2 mineral water and 1 medium popcorns. I love the movie too. The 32 of us watched Inception together. As we were really tired, many fell asleep in the cinema. The CO gang went karaoke and they said it was cheap and good too. Maybe i should try it next time.

By the time we reached the hotel, it was around 3 plus and we had to wake up at 6am to go wet market. Tiring.

The next morning, we took bus to the Kluang Baru area. By the time we reached, Mok told us we were late as many stuff was sold out. I tried the big pao, peanut pancake, peanut muah chee or dumpling at the market. Yeuan Huei bought durians for Sheena and gang to try. They also bought dragon fruits and honey sugar. Sheena, Yeuan Huei and myself went to the hawker stalls to eat breakfast and i tried the fried mee with egg. I like the mee but not the bee hoon. There wasnt any other side dish for me to purchase. Maybe next time i should eat with the yong tau foo with this mee. After breakfast, Mok told us she hasnt had her breakfast yet thus i went to eat the famous Botak Curry Mee opposite the basketball court with her. It was yummy. I love it but a bit too spicy.

Next, Sheena and myself went to Kluang Mall to try and find shoes to replace our damage shoes. But we couldn't find anything there. Luckily Sheena found her favourite organic rice there so one objective was met. We also went to massage at the building opposite Kluang Mall. I did the 1 hour foot massage for RM30. So cheap! We met the others there too and they were doing the body massage. After massage, we went for lunch at the wanton mee coffeeshop near the Bat Town. It was introduced by Mok and i think it was quite nice. But i dunno why all the wanton in Kluang didnt taste as nice as Singapore ones. It was all very small without not much meat inside.

After lunch, Sheena went to pluck her eye brows at Kluang Parade. It was only RM6. Why everything was so cheap in Kluang? When we headed back to the hotel to meet the group, i saw Dominic's girlfriend and she told me the spectacles and contact lens were all half price of Singapore. So i went to the shop beside our hotel to buy contact lens even though i am not short sighted. Heehee.

While waiting for the 4pm 5 Stars tour bus back to Singapore, i went to buy my favourite Marybrown chicken wing. I dunno why this time it didnt taste as nice as the KL one. Regret.

Conclusion, we love this trip and my SAA colleagues want me to bring them there. Planning one soon..

Melaka & Muar

Just came back from our car trip to Melaka & Muar.

Day 1

Coz we needed to avoid the traffic jam, we met at 4.15am to drive to Melaka. We reached there around 8 plus and we had our dim sum breakfast in Chinatown. Not all the shops were opened so we went straight to the first coffeeshop that we saw. We ordered a lot of food such as bee hoon, century egg porridge, dim sum, buns etc and these cost us 41.30 ringgit. We weren't very impressed with the dim sum as it was not the fantastic kind. But it consider very cheap if you are not a fussy person.

As there was a fruit shop beside the coffeeshop, we bought a super sweet pineapple and a bunch of banana for 8.30 ringgit.

After this breakfast, Terence brought us to a 2nd round of breakfast at Baba Low's. We ordered nonya laksa, mee siam, pai tee and popiah to try and these cost 17.10 ringgit. The place was so kampong and we love the feeling of having our meal there.

Next, we drove around and went to shop at supermarket Tesco which was just opposite Jusco shopping mall. Terence told us that the Malaysian Govt subsidized flour, sugar and milo. Thus there was a limit to how many pack each family can buy. Convinced by him, Sheena and myself bought flour and sugar. I even bought maggi cup noodle that cost 1 ringgit each. Very cheap coz the other supermarkets all selling at 1.60 or 1.80 ringgit.

For lunch, we went to a Chinese restaurant that had very attractive rate. We ordered salted egg prawns, 生岛鸡, hotplate beancurds, vege, tapioca leaves fish etc and only cost us 134.30 ringgit. The ambience looked posh but they didn't have many customers. But we definitely enjoyed this meal.

After our satisfying lunch, we finally could check into our Grand Continental Hotel. The rooms cost us 425.50 ringgit. Each room had 2 double beds. But i think the location really not that convenient if you don't drive.

Of course, we were too lazy after we checked in thus we had a short power nap before we headed to see the Melaka beach. The sea was reclaimed thus they only managed to buy some durians at 26 ringgit (around 4 ringgit per kg). We went to a park to eat the durians. Coz i don't eat durian, i took some photos of the lovely scenary there.

Next, we went to the local pasar malam which Terence accidentally found it during his trips to Melaka. The stuff there was cheap and i bought the carrot cake at 3 ringgit. There was a lot of cai po inside so i like it but it was too oily.

After local pasar malam, we headed down to Jonker Walk which was the tourist pasar malam. Rahayu and myself bought the earring holder for only 22 ringgit. So cheap!

Coz i was hungry, they brought me to eat my dinner at Newton Food Centre. I ordered chicken rice (4 ringgit) and hotplate noodles (4.50 ringgit). As they were very full after their durian dinner, i could not order whole table of food. These 2 kinds were what i could take in. Both was ok but i didn't really like the hotplate coz it was a bit bland for me. Though that was clearly the most popular dish in the food centre.

After the dinner, we headed back to Jonker Walk coz the ladies wanted massage. We found one near the Geographic Cafe and it cost 67 ringgit for an hour. Though i was very full but i could not resisted the temptation so i joined them for the massage too. The massage was quite ok except that the lady scared me when she twisted my neck left and right.

Oh ya, i bought my smurfette tee for only 10 ringgit in one of the shops while we waited for our turn to massage. So cheap!

When we were back in our hotel, Sheena and myself were so tired that we skipped the supper at the guys' room and went straight to sleep.

Day 2

Terence gave us a morning call and we rushed down for our free breakfast. It tasted like the normal international breakfast. After we checked out, we went to shop at the shopping mall. I bought some masks (3 for 10 ringgit), nail art deco (3 for 10 ringgit), cards (2 ringgit each) and some shoes at Vincci.

For our lunch, we wanted to try the Nancy's Kitchen which i told them that it was a popular Nonya Restaurant at Jonker Walk. But the lady boss was too "ar-tas" and kept telling us that it was full and ignored us. Thus we went to Donald & Lily's. Terence accidentally found this lovely nonya restaurant during his trips to Melaka. It was very cozy and we love the nonya dishes. They served different dishes everyday. That day was Sunday and we had the Ayam Ponteh, Assam Fish, Tau Kwa, Mee Siam and Nonya Veg was given free to us. Their rice was free too. So kind. It was a family business thus you will be able to see the bosses and their sons serving us. The meal cost us 72.50 ringgit with Chengdol as desserts.

After lunch, we drove to Muar and checked into the Riverview Hotel at 85 ringgit per triple room. Of course, we had our power

nap again before we proceeded to search for the local pasar malam that Terence read in someone's blog. We lost our way for quite some time and even passed by a scenic fishing village. It was so lovely and we saw the sunset there too. I asked a cute girl selling otah and she told us the direction to the pasar malam. It was a super long pasar malam at the roadside. Terence suggested that we bought a lot of food and eat in hotel room. Thus, they spent almost 60 ringgit for the dinner. I like the fried mee and chicken chop.

We went to a supermarket after this to buy my mineral water and i ate wanton noodle on my way back. It only cost 3 ringgit though it didn't tasted very delicious. But we passed by an Otah stall at the street and it offered to give free delivery on the next day. The boss was very nice and charged the Crab Otah at 5 ringgit too. The Crab Otah was supposed to be 7 ringgit which was indicated on the signboard.

Day 3

As the hotel didn't provide breakfast, Terence brought us to eat Satay at this very nice ambience place near the hotel. We ordered Mee Rebus, Lontong, Roti, Satay etc and only cost 42.90

ringgit. But the Otah boss told us that it was not the best one in Muar. He introduced us to the Sai Kee Coffeeshop along that stretch of shops. It was a nice ambience Chinese coffeeshop. They ordered coffee and we tried the whole meal bread (19 ringgit) introduced by the Otah boss. It was really nice thus we bought some coffee powder (3 in 1 for 8.50 ringgit) there as well.

After our 2nd breakfast, we went to check out from the hotel and coincidentally, i met mum's colleagues there too.

We went straight to shopping mall after checking out. The shopping mall was really boring but we spent an hour there coz we needed to wait for Darren and Terence to finish their haircut. Thus i went to eat at the Chicken Rice Shop which cost me 8.90 ringgit for their set meal. The rice was different colour compared to the one at Vivocity but it was cheap and nice.

As the guys saw the hawkers started operating at 贪食街, we went to eat YH's favourite duck rice (30.40 ringgit). It was yummy but i preferred the noodles. The noodles tasted like our hokkien mee. I like! But i was too full after my 3rd breakfast thus i couldn't eat a lot for lunch. Terence also ordered some 五香 for 5.40 ringgit. After our satisfying meal, we headed back to Singapore. On our way back, we tried to avoid the toll fee by taking the side road and saw a lot of durian stalls. Thus they bought a lot of durians for 4 ringgit per kg. I wanted to buy some too but nothing was left after they have selected their share.

We reached Singapore around 5 plus and we didn't meet any jam. So comfortable trip.

Universal Studio Singapore

Coz Andy going army soon so we decided to go USS together last Wednesday.

We tried the breakfast at Superdog in Vivocity. The chocolate chip waffle cost an additional of 50 cents each and the banana walnuts waffle cost an additional of $1.20 each. So expensive but we still topped up the difference as we wanted to try the different flavour. It was nice and we like the sausage. But the blur blur me mistook the maple syrup as honey for my ice tea. Luckily it didn't taste weird.

When we were at the monorail, we realised we could use our ezlink card to tap without having the need to buy ticket. The transport fee was $3. After 1 stop, we reached our destination. The USS ticket cost $66 on weekday. There was a promotion so we got $10 meal voucher and $5 retail voucher each.

Lights, Camera, Action! - hosted by Steven Spielberg

The first stop we went to was New York. Lights, Camera, Action! was the first attraction we saw. We were impressed by the special effects in the room and I have video-ed glimpse of it.

Before we leave New York, we saw the performance by Rockafellas. They did some breaking and popping performances. I think they were quite cool and pro. Badd and Andreas told me that they are probably from Philippines.

Sci-Fi City

The most exciting ride (the Battlestar) was closed for servicing. I heard a chair dropped out. Scary..

But we managed to try the other attraction in Sci-Fi City which was the Accelerator. I had to keep staring at Jean to prevent myself from getting dizzy.

Revenge of the Mummy

After Sci-Fi City, we reached the Ancient Egypt and tried the Revenge of the Mummy. It was something similar to what i took in DisneySea. But this was more scary. We were being pulled back, raised and dropped suddenly in total darkness. So scary! It was so exciting that the dancers went back for another round while Iris and I waited for them outside.

We wanted to try Treasure Hunters after that but the staff told us that the ride was for kids.

The Lost World

Next, we proceeded to The Lost World where we took the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure. It was a river raft ride which the dancers found it too boring except for the ending part where our raft was being dropped from a low waterfall. Some of us were wet entirely and have to change into another set of clothing.

The second ride at The Lost World was Canopy Flyer which we thought would be those slow sightseeing ride. It turned out to be very fast and exciting. But i think need to choose those seats facing front coz only Jean and I thought it was fun. Our legs were hanging in the air and we have nothing to grab on. We kept thinking that our legs would hit into some trees so we didn't even have the time to do our sightseeing views.

After that, we skipped the Dino-soarin which obviously was a kid ride. We started to queue for the WaterWorld. The show was supposed to start at 1.30pm but it didn't open until 1.45pm. The super long queue was worth it. The show was impressive with amazing stunts and awesome explosions. But the local staff had bad attitude. I asked her to take a photo and she didn't even wait for me to walk back. So angry. Took photo for me without me getting into position. I think she just didn't want to help. Anyway check out below for the small part of the show.

Far Far Away

We had our lunch at the Goldilocks in the Far Far Away. The meal cost me $9.20 with 2 pcs fried chicken, hot bun, buttered corn, coleslaw and drink.

After lunch, while waiting for the Shrek 4D Adventure, the guys suggested to try Enchanted Airways. It was supposed to be kiddy roller coaster. But it was so fast and scary that we don't think it was kiddy at all. Of course, the guys went in to have another round while the girls waited for them outside.

Then we proceeded to Shrek 4D Adventure. It was a very interesting show and i think everyone will love it.

After the show, someone suggested to go Donkey LIVE show. We thought it would be a children kind of muppet show but it turned out to be a very entertaining cartoon projected on screen. The donkey really communicated with the audience. So amazing and we were so surprised.

We didn't try the Magic Portion Spin which located in a souvenir shop. It looked really kiddy.

Madagascar

The ship was still building thus basically we only took pics here. But we tried the King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round after some persuasion from the staff there. It was cute but really slow.

Hollywood

The last stop was Hollywood where we watched the Monster Live at Pantages Hollywood Theatre. The show starts at 5.30pm and it was really nice. It featured all the monsters such as the Vampire, the Bride, the Frankenstein, the Mummy etc. They danced and sang pop songs. Even the setting looked like professional musical stage.

We also had our dinner there at China Bistro and shopped for interesting souvenirs. Btw, the food at China Bistro was quite nice.

Hotels

After we left USS around 8.30pm, we went around to explore the hotels there. I love the Hard Rock Hotel. The deco was classy.

Everything with Fries

Read about this cafe in the magazine. It was opened by the owner of Awfully Chocolate. The restaurant was located at Joo Chiat Road opposite Katong Mall.

Actually i find that their signboard is really very small. If my friend didn't bring me there, i might have missed if i passed by. But i love the young look that the cafe gives. The waiters and waitresses all looked very young and the pink tees that they were wearing made them looked even more youthful. The place was white and bright. The concept was raw and simple.

I ordered the one egg soup which Wee How recommended. He told me that it was chicken soup and the chef separated the egg white and egg yolk to cook it in different methods. It was special and maybe i love fried egg. Heehee.

I also ordered the skinny wings which they cut the wings into half and deep fried it. My colleagues found it very salty but i like salty food so i am quite ok with it. Moreover, chicken wings are my favourite food!

For the main dish, i ordered the pork chop. It tasted a bit tough and i didn't really like the sauce. But the overall taste was quite ok.

Since the shop is called Everything with Fries, we tried the fries in all the 5 flavours. The flavours included curry, sour cream & onions, garlic & herbs (with garlic as deco), original and salt & vinegar. The fries also come in 2 shapes - shoestrings (macdonald kind) and straight cut (mos burger kind). My colleagues think that the curry flavour (with curry leaves as deco) tasted the best but i think i like the salt & vinegar. The rest of the flavours tasted quite bland.

For the desserts, we ordered the nutella tarts (tasted better with vanilla ice cream) and hot banana butterscotch pudding with ice cream. The famous nutella tart was hot and yummy. The base tasted like chocolate oreo crust and the hot nutella filling tasted very chocolaty. But my colleagues found them too sweet. Btw, i love the banana butterscotch pudding too. Very banana and the pudding tasted like hot cake. It blended well with the ice cream too.

Ministry of Food in Bugis

This was a place that my colleagues loved and we decided to come here every year to celebrate New Year. You will receive free coffee or tea voucher with every set meal that you order. The voucher indicated that you can even just drink without order anything for your next visit. I tried the fried chicken with unagi set. I also ordered 2 kinds of rice to try. The pork rice and the unagi rice. Both tasted quite nice. I love the dessert here too. Must try the fried sweet potato balls with red bean and ice cream. Hot sweet potato with cold ice cream mixed with red bean just tasted fantastic!

Japanese Food in Ion

Watami

Many magazine recommended this japanese restaurant in Ion. It was a famous franchise restaurant from Japan.

I tried these 4 types of food in the pictures. Ramen tasted quite good but i have a fussy taste over ramen. I love ramen with springy noodles, pork flavour kind of sweet soup with "melt in your mouth" pork thus this ramen could not fulfill all my requirements.

But the skewer chicken tasted just like what the magazine stated. This can be a place for you and your friends to sit down and drink sake, eat snack food to chit chat.

Before i left, i tried their dessert coz my credit card has some discount thus the dessert was like free for us. Quite nice. It was cold crepe with red bean paste and green tea ice cream.

Ginza Bairin

Saw this super long queue at the basement of Ion. Magazines recommended this place too. You have to queue outside to order the food. Fast food restaurant kind of concept but they will try to find table for you.

The only problem here was that the wait for the food was really too long. Those queuing in front of me have all gotten their food. But maybe the set that i ordered was their recommended award-winning special set thus my wait was really double of other customers.

I tried the katsu set and tempura prawns. I like the crispy chicken, sweet rice sauce and melting egg of the special kastu set but i tried better one in Toyko thus i wasn't that impressed by it. Tempura prawn was quite normal though. Moreover, i think the wait was just too long for me.

Food in Kovan

Fish Steamboat

Went to try this fish steamboat at the coffeeshop in front of Kovan interchange after watching 煮炒来了. Also, ordered the prawn roll. The soup tasted sweet and delicious, fish was fresh and they gave us a lot of vegetables and yam. But dunno why i still preferred the one near Potong Pasir highway. The prawn roll there tasted better too. Just that the queue was really too long.

Wanton Mee

This was my favourite wanton mee stall at the Kovan market. I recommended this stall to my friends and they love it too. Do not come on Weds and Thurs coz they rest on these 2 days of the week and they will rest for a long period during CNY. Sometimes, they closed for a long period for holiday. I think they must be earning a lot to close so frequently.

The noodle is springy, wanton is yummy and i like the sauce and soup also. The auntie there is very friendly too. There was one time when she told me that some of the wanton were spoilt so she didn't have enough to sell me just wanton soup (my usual side order). There was another time when she saw me re-queuing to buy back for my family. She asked me to jump the queue. One bad point is that the queue is just too long. I needed to wait for almost an hour most of the times.

Nasi Lemak

This was the Punggol Nasi Lemak opposite Kovan MRT station. The stall only opens at night for dinner and supper. But do not come on Thurs coz it will be closed.

The chicken wings are one of the most yummy food here. My friends like the sambal long beans and curry vegetables. Of course, the rice and chilli are good too. Btw, the queue here is incredibly long too. I think that might be one of the reasons why people like the food here. Singaporeans always like to queue for food. They think that it will definitely be nice if there is a queue.

Fried Hokkien Mee & Oyster Egg

These dishes were sold in one of the old coffeeshop opposite Kovan MRT (somewhere near Punggol Nasi Lemak). I didn't really notice it until I watched the variety show 排排站查查看. The show mentioned that the Hokkien Mee didn't use any pork or pork lard in order to cater to Muslim customers. But it tasted just as nice and fragrance. I like it! But the oyster egg didn't taste as good. I felt that it was just too oily.
