A stroll in the city

Jade — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 15:15:24 +0000

My hubby is in China for some meetings. After being at home for 2 whole days, I decided to go out yesterday and get some sun. I went to the city to do an errand for my mom and then I ate my favorite food at the moment – Soto Ayam. I ate it at Ayam Penyet Ria located at the Lucky Plaza Mall.

Mmmm it was the best soto ayam in Singapore I think. They are actually an Indonesian chain and that’s why I love it. It is almost the same as what my MIL (She’s Indonesian/Dutch) makes.

Anyway, after eating I went for a stroll at the mall and this Nintendo Wii thingy caught my attention. I have been seeing this everywhere on the internet and was wondering if it really works. Do you have any experience with this? How much weight have you lost by using this?

And if you recommend this, what Wii accessories do I need to buy as well?

Wordless Wednesday: Snails

Jade — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 17:39:04 +0000

We have many of these creatures in our garden at our previous place.

I have seen some restaurants here in Singapore offer snail dishes – never had the urge to try them though. I don’t know I just find it too Ewww! If you know what I mean. I can eat balut but these …hmmm maybe you need to pay me a hundred bucks to eat it.

Have you ever eaten snail before or any other unusual food?

Check out my other Wordless W entries here and also I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce to you guys my new blog- Pictures and Cultures this will be the place where I will share my favorite pictures that I have taken with my cam on different subjects ranging from nature, people, travel and culture.

Happy Midweek everybody!

Friday Food Find

To join FFF, just copy the code and come back here with your url so I can visit your FFF entry too.

We are exploring our new neighborhood little by little. We went for a stroll at Eastcoast road to try to find the famous 328 Katong Laksa but I didn’t really feel like eating Laksa that day so I tried the Roasted Duck Noodle next door instead.

The taste was yummy but the server is a bit grumpy. People in the food business here should seriously be taught about customer service. The pricetag – $3 for this plate.The portion was quite small and I didn’t really felt satisfied so after our meal we went to find some goodies to bring home.

And we found something truly filling, some peranakan goodies.Hmmm…yummy!

I am really loving our new neighborhood. There’s still so much to explore!

You can find these food stalls/shops along Eastcoast Rd. I don’t know yet how to get here by bus but if you are take a cab from Bedok MRT, it shouldn’t cost you more than $10 (I think).

Food Finds: Roxy Laksa

Jade — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 01:50:37 +0000

I cannot believe it took us a year of living in Singapore to try out laksa. Once we tasted it, there was no going back! We were hooked. Roxy Laksa is one of the very best laksa I have eaten so far.

We always order a $4 bowl of laksa which is just enough for me. The smell is just delightful right from the moment our Laksa lady hands it over to us. Generous servings of fish cakes and prawns complements the delicious noodles. The shrimp is always so fresh! Mmmmmm… and the gravy oh la la! I am sorry I am already salivating here. I did try it with cockles in the beginning, but that didn’t work out for me. I prefer it without.

Price: $3, $4, $5

Address:
1220 East Coast Parkway
