ode to the soapbox

aku makan ni dekat commonwealth drive food court. hmm aku tak sure dalam english benda ni kita panggil soup, sebab it's a desert. but again, bubur kacang tu pon dalam english kita panggil green bean soup kan? anyway, aku suker ginkgo nuts. kalau korang pernah dengar ginkgo biloba extract, yg kita ambil sebagai memory enhancer supplements tuh, ginkgo nuts ni dia punya seeds. price at $1 ($1.50 for extra ginkgo nuts).

dari stall yg sama. aku suker sebab bukan macam malay desert, dia tak banyak gula. kemanisan tu mostly dari sweet potato tu sendiri, so it's healthy and plain (read: delicious!). 80 cents per bowl.

ok actually aku tak tau apa nama benda nie. still from the same stall tapi takde dalam menu, so aku main tunjuk jer bila nak order. just ubi kayu rebus, lepas tu makan dengan santan yg dicampur dengan gula melaka. perghh.. aku suker sangat. dua hari berturut2 aku drive ke commonwealth semata2 nak makan benda 80 cents nih...

yg nie aku makan kat marina square shopping center food court. chinese yg buat tapi from halal stall. sedap, aku suker sebab kita boleh pilih tak letak udang. dalam ada telur. mahal sikit laa $1.90 per piece, tapi sebab kat marina square, so ok lahh...

from lucky plaza, orchard branch. tempat ni khabarnyer famous, tapi for me, ok jer ayam penyet dia. first, sebab sambal dia pedas, close to sambal belacan rather than macam sambal cili ala thai kalau makan elsewhere. for me still, the best ayam penyet is at changi village. plus, ayam penyet ria ni $6.50, compared to $4.00 market price.

from the same ayam penyet ria stall, aku prefer gado2 nih. sedap! especially dia punyer keropok dan belinjo. sayur2an kat bawah. kuah kacang dia boleh tahan sedap. aku rasa dalam $3 benda nih..

main attraction sebab a glass of this cappucino is $2 jek after 2pm kat marina square branch. normal price >$5. tak payah beli apa2 yg lain, minum sambil lepak2 kat sofa in front of the restaurant lepas penat shopping (ada robinson sale weekend lepas, kalau ko ocbc robinson member, ada 20% off so syooorgaaa membeli). tan tak tido malam minum nih hahaha...

the vegetarian restaurant tempat aku makan nie, just accross the road dari office aku, near bendemeer shopping street. wah convenient!! cuma kawan2 office aku sumer meat-eater, takde daging tak sah so takde geng nak seret. eventhough byk herbs dalam nie (read: healthy!). my first impression? eh manis! very light sweet taste, but lepas tu ada rasa masin2 sikit. different herbs different texture dia, so interesting experience throughout. aku pulak memang suker mee suah so luv it! price at $4 lebih kurang. ok lah for health tonic hehe..

from the same vegetarian restaurant as above. very nice, pekat so very worth it for $2 per glass. for me, first time jumpa dragon fruit juice.

aku makan nie kat circuit road food market. aku suker tempat nie sebab senang parking dan open air, best kalau makan dinner sambil borak2. speciality of this place is the vegetarian food, so byk stall2 vegetarian. nasi lemak ni surprisingly sedap! nasi dia pekat bau santan dan pandan, dan sambal dia pergghhh syooorga on earth. and no animal has to die in the process heh heh.. not that i'm vegetarian. tak ingat aku harga dia, $1.50 tak salah..
