SINGAPORE: Changi Village Hawker Centre

Are you a nature lover ? Are you an avid fisherman ?

Or Are you one of the perverse Outward Bound Singapore ( OBS) Fitspo ? 

And I'm saying perverse because I had a terrible time in OBS. I was at a tender age of 15, and I was coerced into going for this stupid camp whereby I had to kayak around pulau ubin and pitch a tent in pasir ris park wtf ? 

Can you imagine ME ?! doing that ?! Because I definitely can't, however, I've Been There and Done That and never want to partake in such activity ever again. 

Dude, i remember at the end of the camp everybody around me was crying saying how they will miss the camp. I cried too, I cried SO HARD. I was shedding all the tears of happiness that I finally get to go back home after 5 hellish days :D 

And Nick and I have discussed that if our children has to be forced to take part in such camps by their school, we will definitely at all cost try to get them out of it. 

I also thank God that national service is not compulsory for girls in Singapore, because I dont think I could survive the 1.5 years. 

Similarly, if hunger games were to ever become reality, I will definitely be one of the first to be ousted because I have 0 outdoor survival instincts. 

Anyhow, if you answered a resounding YES to any of my above 3 questions, then Changi Village Hawker Centre will not be unfamiliar to you. 

However if you are an unlucky soul and you are going to be dragged along to activities in pulau ubin  by your " resounding YES " friends, then you're welcome, today I shall introduce some of my favourite stalls to you so that at least in the grand scheme of sufferings in Pulau Ubin, you leave after being well fed. 

First up....... 

The Number 1 Long queue Mizzy corner Nasi Lemak.

I really love the smell and taste of the rice, very fragrant 

Second up, 

Okay, this carrot cake is hit and miss. Somedays it's AMAZING, somedays is mehhhh. In fact this is the only store where I order black carrot cake because I usually find white carrot cake tastier than black, but this store does a good black carrot cake. 

Third up, 

I've eaten the fried stuff at this store since I was a little girl. Also another seller I should invite to my wedding too hey hahahaha give that they watched me grow up lol. 

Also, the reason why I'm so familiar with changi village is because my church is in pasir ris and we usually go there for lunch after church. 

I love their goreng Pisang ( fried banana ) 

But something else that is seasonal is REALLY yummy, and it's JACKFRUIT ! 

This fried jackfruit is really special and tedious to prepare. First you have to dig out its seed, then boil the  seed and insert the seed back into the flesh and fry it. 

SO GOOD. 

Alright, I'll start you with 3 stores today. Will recommend more stores in the future !! 

Have fun at Pulau Ubin! As a medical professional, the best thing you can do to protect your skin is to  remember to apply heaps of Sun Screen !!!

SINGAPORE: Beach Road Prawn Mee

Okay, so I've been told that my recent posts are not entertaining anymore. Something like I've been doing a half fk job. And I guess this really woke me up. Because I shouldn't be doing a half fk job right ? That's just not ethical hmm very very bad !!

Not that I'm making any excuses for myself, but I'm not posting from my MacBook and I find it so hard to type just using a qwerty keyboard ! 

sigh let me tell you, apple is totally terrible. After a few years they're sorta forcing you to upgrade your technology. As in my case, my 6 years old laptop is now non compatible with my iPhone 6s. 

But not that I'm gonna boycott Apple anytime soon I guess I've fallen too deep lol. 

But okay la, I will still try hard and continue to be entertaining. 

Hmm, or maybe I should crowdfund for a laptop ? Heheheh

Anyway, one of my favourite street food in Singapore is prawn mee. And growing up in the East, beach road prawn mee was a familiar sight. Though still quite a stranger because last time my parents got no time to bring me to queue for prawn mee ): 

So this trip, since they're both retired, I INSISTED we make a trip there ! 

What I like about going to beach road prawn mee is that it's one stone kill 2 bird. I love how there's the fried ngoh hiang just beside them. So I get to eat both prawn mee as well as clog up my arteries with oily deep fried food :D 

Sigh. As usual, I always feel that there's a lot of unemployed people around. We reached at 1pm and the queue was still horrendous ! There were so many humans around I'm like holy where do all this people come from ?! 

But hehehehehehe,at least diagonally across me got handsome boy. 

$5.80 prawn mee. 

They also have $8.80 and $11.80. Jumbo prawn mee sells for $11.80 

 you can choose to have it soup or dry. 

I always have my prawn mee soup, thick mee hoon and yellow mee mix. 

East Coast ngoh hiong ! $9.80 for this place of goodness ! 

As a medical professional, I understand the cons of having too much fried food. So just eat in moderation okay everybody. This stall is good, because beside all the fried food, they still encourage you to eat your greens :D look, 3 slices of cucumber Hahahahah.

SUPER SATISFIED, HEARTY LUNCH ! 

Beach Road prawn mee 

370 East Coast Road 

7.30am -4pm 

Close every Tuesdays 

SINGAPORE: Bedok South Market and Food Centre

Bedok South market holds a very special place in my heart because I practically grew up with a lot of the hawker food. In fact, I think some of them ought to be invited to my wedding :p

I remember because Bedok south marker is directly opposite temasek JC, I used to see heaps of the students there during break time and I remembered telling myself: when I grow up next time I will go to Temasek JC, because my mommy say smart people go there.
In the end, hahahaha I went to a better school la oops ( ALL HAIL HWACHONG ! )

My favourite ever dish - in fact, if I ever move back to Singapore, this would be one of the reasons. 

Hill street fried kuey teow ! 

They serve both $3.50 and $4. This is $4 because wtf, queue until like mad how can just eat $3.50?!?!
My whole family loves this char kuey teow. In fact, my granddad used to have this everyday for a few years until he passed away.
Lots of memories in this small plate.  

Hock Seng Choon fishball 

Really really love their fishball! $2.50 for this bowl how cheap is this ? Perfect for a not so filling breakfast

SINGAPORE: geylang lor 29

hi there ! I'm back in Singapore after a 6.5 hours long flight. Ohmy, I really am a bad flyer, took me a day to sorta recover from the flight. And when I say recover I mean, to actually feel normal again. Somehow, I always feel a little nauseas and lightheaded everytime I step off a flight. Hmm 

Anyway, as always, it's a habit for me to have dinner at geylang lor 29 the first thing I land. 

Most of you would be familiar with Swee Guan hokkien mee. Unfortunely, I am unable to comprehend what's good about the hokkien mee. Instead, I LOVE THE CARROT CAKE AND FRIED OYSTER! 

I think since last year there's this new stall selling this. And it's really good ! I especially love the fried cracker with prawn

Ps. The satay is also very good (:
