After class me, Kai and Kai's friend Rachel met up to head for JB. She was having her make lessons that day. I wanted to took bus to Bukit Batok then take MRT to Kranji and take 170 to JB.
Kai mentioned can go opposite take bus to Jurong East interchange where there would be a bus to JB also, its much faster. We then took the bus heading towards Jurong.
Bus No 3 @ Jurong East Bus Interchange However its going to Gelang Patah not Larkin.
The bus had arrived.
The bus design is so world class ! At the rear, the middle area has no chair. So poor Kai paid $4 to sit on the engine. You can hear him shouting when the bus jerks. LOL !!!
Very expensive bus ticket to unknown destination.The bus was travelling on AYE and heading towards Tuas. I told Kai, i got a feeling the bus is heading Tuas 2nd Link. Kai said no lar going Woodlands. Then me and Rachel bet with him who ever loses the bet treat lunch. Agreed.
20mins later after passing the factories. We arrived at Tuas checkpoint. Next we arrived at the Malaysia customs. There were 5 Singaporean passengers, so we had to fill in the white card. I was the last to be checked by the customs officer.
When I stepped out, i saw that familiar yellow bus zoomed passed me !!! For the next 30mins, without roaming, I left cold, lonesome, helpless and hungry. Finally the next bus came and soon boarded it. The next problem is where would the 2 alight? The bus system is such that it can stop anywhere for passengers to board and alight. Luckily my intuition was correct, I reached the terminal and noticed the 2 familiar faces.
There we took another bus terminating at Larkin near City Square. It was an arduous and cold 1h journey to Larkin. The route seemed to take us touring the state of Johore!
Chinese school
Grazing cows.
Small coffeshop along a junction.After 1h of bus ride, we finally reached the familiar site of the JB and City Square. We alighted and went to change money. Initally wanted to have Japanese for lunch which many people recommended good. However had just started business and told us to come back 1h time. We then had lunch at Kenny Rogers. First time eating Kenny Rogers.
Rachel's order - Baked Potatoes, coleslaw, pasta, and mashed potatoes.
Kai and my order - Quarter chicken in original sauce, coleslaw, pasta and cheese macaroni. The chicken is nice with that unique Kenny Roger's recipe sauce however the macaroni is abit hard but the cheese is yummy !!!
Our orders also came with 1 muffins each. 2 original/butter and 1 chocolate. Only the butter/original is nice.
Chocolate muffin, not nice, no chocolate smell and taste.
Next we headed basement to check out the Japanese restaurant. We were informed that business would start in evening. A disappointment. Just when we were about to leave, we saw the restaurant opposite serving dishes on a stone. The concept is very unique and we decided to try as the recommended Tom Yum dish looked delicious.
I ordered seafood tom yum soup kway teow, Kai order Salmon spaghetti and Rachel ordered a seafood platter to share.
First up the seafood platter consisting of - Fried Rice, a large piece of salmon, 3 scallops, 3 tiger prawns and french fries.
My tom yum kway teow soup. After tasted it, found the soup got no kick and not spicy enough. However the serving is large and full of ingredients.
WACK AR !!! Think the salmon and prawns overcooked, wasted.
Salmon Spaghetti.I was so damn full when the 2 of them couldn't eat anymore. See la Kai, ask you don;t order tomatoes noodles liaoz.
For the next few hours we walked around City Square. Surprisingly today so crowded as compared to previous time we went. Then we decided to chill at Starbucks, I did not order any drinks, still stuffed from the heavy lunch.
Kai the spokesperson for Tora, a chocolate with a free toy. Our childhood candy. I think you cannot find this is Singapore.Next its dinner at Da Ma Hua Yuan (Chinese pronunciation Big Horse Garden). This place is a hawker centre with many Singaporeans patronizing, evident with the SG plate cars. I remembered I came once with Sandi and gang for dinner.
First dish Kang Kong and Cuttlefish. The cuttlefish serving is generous, too bad my sis is not here.
Kai with his shocked expression after ordered some exotic fruit juice.
Sambal Sotong not nice and very spicy. I found it to be not even cooked.
Stingray, did not try this dish.
Best dish Cereal King Prawns. The prawns are huge and meat tastes good !!!
Second best dish Black Pepper Crayfish.
Kang Kong
More to come.
Black pepper deer meat, doesn't taste good also. Huge disappointment.
Group photos with the food.
Our crazy orders, not forgetting the heavy double lunch we had earlier, not yet digested !!!
Look at how big is the cereal prawns !!!
The prawns looked even bigger compared to her face. Definitely worth the money.
Special drinks from left - Apple + Orange juice, passion fruit juice and dragon fruit juice.
Game over for all of us. Think the next few days I am going vegetarian !!!Then we took at taxi back to City Square and walked to the immigration. There boarded the bus to Woodlands and home.
