Actually,
this is my late post from my visit in Singapore last month (on April). I went
there only for 3 days, for business purpose. Since I’m not often visit
Singapore (not really sure why I’m not so interest going around in there), I also
arrange to meet my friends there in the evening.
We
planned to have dinner in Kushikatsu Tanaka, Clarke Quay, around 7pm, but the funny
thing, I lost when heading there. My boss gave me the wrong direction, instead
of take the MRT, he said that by Bus is faster. But apparently, he forgot the Bus
number, and so finally after going around from 1 Bus stop to another stop, we
decided to take MRT. The things that I don’t know at that time, that I should
take the Blue Line and get off in Fort Canning instead of take the Purple Line,
and stop in Clarke Quay. The station and the restaurant quite far, and since I’m
very tired because just get back from Expo, I take the taxi. The cost around SGD11,
5 minutes from Clarke Quay MRT Station. J
This time,
I also asked a favor from one of my friends to buy an armband-waistband in
Decathlon Bedok (the price SGD 26.9) for my daughter. Since in Decathlon Alam
Sutra this product never available and the shopkeeper said that in Decathlon Bedok,
this stuff still has some stocks. Luckily, she’s very nice person, she bought
it first for me, and I only have to repay her when we met. She even gave me discount,
it should be SGD 26.9, but I only pay SGD 26. Awesome!
The next
day, I’m following the recommendation from one of my friends yesterday. She told
me that the new menu in Far East Plaza (near Orchard MRT) is very famous for its
Salted Egg Pork Ribs. This food stall named: New Station Snack Bar. And she said that this is must try dish. So,
I search in goggle map for the location, and around 5.45 pm, I going there
alone.
Far East
Plaza not far from Orchard MRT station, only walks around 10 minutes. This Plaza
is not crowded; moreover, I don’t think it can be name as a Plaza. Its looks
like ITC for me. J
The restaurant located in 5th floor, and I could
say this place have complete Chinese food menu, despite of the location seems
like food stall in ITC Mangga Dua. The price is also affordable, mostly under
SGD10. I only ordered Salted Egg Pork Ribs with Rice, and Tea. Total cost SGD 8.
Crispy and well-done pork ribs, drenched in tasty salted egg yolk sauce, a very
yummy dish. I love that the sauce is rich and extremely savory with a hint of
curry from the curry leaves.
And still about salted egg, I also decided to buy salted
egg fish skin. This snacks nowadays become very popular in Singapore because of
the savory taste. Since I want to try various kind of fish skin, I bought 3
brands that well known in there, The Golden Duck, Fragrance and Oyu. I didn’t
get small size of Irvins, so I cancel the order.
Overall, the taste was good. I actually love every dish
or snacks with salted eggs topping. So For me, every brand were yummy J The Golden Ducks
itself has spicy taste (and now Irvins also launching the new product, spicy
fish skin). My Japanese friend doesn’t like it, but somehow I love it. This is
the snacks that maybe I’ll looking for when I visit Singapore once again. I
think I must spare larger space in my luggage for this. Haha…
Finally,
that’s my experiences for only 3 days in Singapore during my business trip.
Very short time, but it’s enough for me. Since I went there only with my boss,
sneaking time after working hour for a little bit happiness vacation is a
precious moment. I’m glad my boss not the kind of killer type. Haha…
