Carpark Lai Liao!

On this 41st birthday of our country, I'd like to share with you things iconic and Uniquely Singapore... Which I can't right now because blogger is having problems with the image upload again. So let me just type all of them down first and upload the images later...

Y and I went to have a wonderlicious crab dinner today. (Sorry for also being the cause for your stomach upset too. I really have no idea why I don't have them leh!) Address is Blk 232, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. Shop Name: Melben Seafood.


Man Tou


Butter Crab


Crab Bee Hoon

Finally, I fullfilled my craving for crabs that has been going on for the past one month. If you like crabs, I recommend their Crab Bee Hoon Soup, Butter Crab and Chilli Crab. And eat them in that order, because they are arranged in order of intensity of taste. If you eat it in reverse order, you may find that the crab bee hoon is really bland, cos your tastebud has been "intensified" by the stronger flavour one.

Oh, also to note: Please arrive before 6.30 for guaranteed seats. You will have to wait up to 1 hour for food to be served if you arrive after this. We waited for 1 hour after we placed our order. But no worries, the same coffeeshop offers appetisers such as satay, bbq chicken and rojak. But go easy when ordering those. You need to save your stomach for the crabs! And I recommend that you do not order rice, unless you are Super-duper-hungry.

Oh Yes! While we were eating the crabs, there was a sudden whistle blown from a loud-haler. A lady behind the speaker announced "Carpark lai liao! Carpark lai liao!", indicating to customers that the carpark attendents are arriving to check on illegal parking. Immediately, you see some movements as drivers rush out to drive their vehicles.

How's that for Unqiuely Singapore? Told Y:"Now that is a phrase that no one in the US or Taiwan can use or understand."

Pictures taken at MRT station

Why are there yellow lines to encourage passengers to give way in front of all cabins except the first and last MRT train cabins?

Tram interchange pix at Sentosa

Do you know that Sentosa has improved tremendously since it's renovation? If you have not visit the island yet, I strongly recommend you to do so. And remember to try the Sky Ride and the Luge. "Once is never enough".

A plate of Dua Dng (Pig Intestines in Kway Chap) from Zion Road Hawker Centre

Kway Chap, another local delicacy. Part of our Asian tradition is to share our food. Here's a picture to prove the point.

A Unique Signboard at Tiong Bahru Food Centre


Maybe Dick could compose a song for Gurmit entitled "Hey You, Hey Mee"?

About the lamps at certain prominent residential area? My simple and naive mind tells me that whoever cares for the residents would do it. It's as simple as that. Walk the talk and don't just talk the walk. Disclaimer: IMO.

Even though at times I do wonder why am I here, there are other times I'd like to say...

I HEART SINGAPORE.
