Long weekends

27th Nov, Friday

Since its holiday, off to eat breakfast outside. Think the previous night Channel U was showing Singaporean cuisines sold overseas like Beijing, London, US, Japan, Mumbai, Australia ...

The theme for that week was "Hainanese Chicken Rice". The host Mark Lee had a shock with the way the Australian chef prepared his fusion chicken rice. The restaurant which they showed in Beijing and Mumbai, I did tried there but not chicken rice.

My mum wanted to eat porridge and the stall at Maxwell is her favourite this is good as i can fulfil my chicken rice addiction.

We reached Maxwell around 11pm no chance to eat the porridge. The queue has already reached till the opposite end. Then I queued for 15mins for the chicken rice. In the queue was tourists from Hong Kong, Caucasians and Japanese, think this stall world-renowed.

While queueing i saw a familiar face, Makansutra's Host Seetoh. Apparently he was doing an interview with a few Caucasians.

28th Nov, Saturday

Second trip to JB this month, but this time not for groceries. Kai need to buy Windows 7 as though it was made in Singapore, Malaysia is selling much cheaper how contradicting.

Met up with Kai at Kallang MRT then went Queen Street to take bus in. Surprisingly the traffic was smooth all the way to JB. Unlike when I went in with Jimmy and co jammed like f**K !

The new JB Kastam is very well designed, like an airport terminal. The only thing I don't like is the complex is designed like a maze unlike the old complex where you just walk straight

Soon reached the familiar sight City Square and we went to Jap Restaurant Kinarashi to have lunch. After lunch we headed to Landmark, their local Sim Lim Square to look for the Windows 7. Due to holidays, the complex is like a ghost town with only a few shops were open. Luckily we managed to find the intended store and bought the Windows 7.

Then we head back to City Square to walk around and kpkb. Soon we had early dinner at the back alley of the shophouses. One side is selling Muslim their end is selling Chinese food. Eating there brings a very nostalgic atmosphere. Think you can no longer find such eating places in SG.

After dinner headed back SG then walked around Bugis before going home.
