I seriously am going to miss tropical fruit. These mangoes were the size of my head! They were juicy and sweet too!
Ron brought home food since we were too lazy to go somewhere to have a sit down meal. We just had fried “stinky tofu” and noodles.
We shared a bottle of wine that we brought back from Europe.
If you know me, I have a weakness for shoes. While shopping at Bugis Junction, Ron pointed out these really cute shoes in one of the stores. They were so adorable, I couldn’t resist.
For dinner we went to Botak Jones since we heard rave reviews from all our friends as it is “good ol’ American food”. We went to the Clementi outlet.
We had the chili cheese fries. So big we couldn’t finish.
Had a good old cheese burger.
Ron had a classic hot dog with fries.
We couldn’t Joyce to eat the beef but we still had a good dinner 🙂 We ran into one of Joyce’s pharmacy students there as he politely came over to say hello to us. I always thought Singapore was small but this is the first time that we’ve run into a student outside of school and the workplace. I guess Singapore isn’t really that small of a place.
My coworker has been spoiling me with the wonderful fruits she keeps in her refrigerator. These passion fruits are so delicious! I thought I was allergic to them because I had a reaction once when in Hawaii but I am glad to find out I’m not 🙂
I had laksa for lunch, one of my favorites, a spicy creamy noodle soup and for dinner we went to Al-Ameen Eating House which is open 24 hours and had some good Indian food. We had green chicken, Milo dinosaur, maggie noodles, etc. It’s too bad we didn’t know about this 24 hour place before, I’m sure we would’ve eaten there more often!
We didn’t eat real food today, just snacks!
Since we were heading to the MRT, we stopped by the CCK Lot One food court for a snack of Taiwanese goodies. We had the oyster noodle soup, fried chicken chop, and papaya pearl drink.
After some shopping at Sim Lim for electronics. We went to their food court for some spicy ramen, fried chicken, and thai style chicken. Ron bought me this weird green drink with tapioca in it but I had no idea what flavor it was.
In the evening, we went to have the famous Rochor bean curd and “yao tiao”. The line was long but it went fast and the bean curd was creamy and good.
Right next door is another bean curd place which apparently is owned by a relative or friend of the place we ate at. The rumor is they had some sort of fight so they split up to compete with each other. But the line was so much longer at the place we ate at. Too bad we probably won’t have the chance to try out the other place to compare.
We really are trying to eat our way through Singapore before we leave… I think food will be one of the things we miss most.
Today at work was actually slow enough that we could walk to NUS for lunch. Usually we stick the staff canteen which is in the basement of the hospital. The NUS canteen is about a 5-10 minute walk. We tried something a bit healthier, an herbal soup with duck and preserved vegetables. It may look a bit oily but it was very appetizing with a bowl of rice.
For dinner Ron and I went to Sakae Sushi at Bukit Batok. We’d ordered delivery from them before but only had sushi. They have a lot of other things on their menu in the actual restaurant. The menu is on paper but is also available right at your fingertips as there is a computer monitor at each table with a mouse underneath the counter so you can just click and order. Pretty high tech.

I wouldn’t say the food was to die for but it was a cool experience.
