wanted to get out of the house so drove to Shaw House. walked through Isetan Orchard. things are really expensive even with 50% off 70% off sales, what with the recession?
2 years ago during CNY period I bought 3 pairs of Timberland shoes for like $250! now even with 30% off similar Timberland shoes are costing $250 less 30% (or $175!)..where is the sales?
walked along Scotts road. now they have sidewalk cafes for McCafe/McDonald's, Starbucks, Canele...and bubble tea is like $1.20 only. walk over to Level One (thought it was still Metro! how long have I not been here).
contemplated taking the $2 McDonald's double-decker cheese burger, but decided to drive off to Hong Lim food centre to try out the Tai Wah bakchomee instead. got behind a constant queue of 6-7 and got my $4 meekia dry after 15-20mins. think this is the best (& cheapest!) I tried of the 3 Tai Wahs (recently the eldest and youngest brother had a public spaton the Straist Times), better than the one at Crawford Court and Vivo Food Republic (about same as the Marina Square stall which had closed down). the noddle is springy (qq), the vinegar a tad too much, the 2 meatballs, liver, pork slices, minced pork, 2 dumplings, dried dace all great stuff worth the queueing.
the Outram Road char kuay teow @#02-18 was closed, but there is longer queue even at Kee Kee wanton noodles @#02-49. the curry chicken noodle Heng Kee at level one is closed, but the Ah Heng curry chicken at level 2 (the one I prefered) is open. <
