My trip to Singapore PT.2

The first place we visited was Queensway Shopping Center, just across IKEA. I didn't actually know this place until those sports fanatics brought me there! I guess the best thing for Singaporean is how they centralised all the sport stuff and audio stuff under one roof! This place is haven for shoes, rackets and apparels! The price? Far lower than Malaysia even after conversion!

Some of the brands you can get here is so much varied than in M'sia, some you don't even get in M'sia! And many of the shops are more than willing to give huge discounts! I can't help but to wonder what the heck is our government doing? SGD210 for a racket which you have to pay RM500 here shows how poor our buying power is dollar to dollar!


Just across the street, you have a wonderful food court! I was browsing around and found this stall with a long queue. To me, whenever there's long queue, there's good food! So I just queue along without realising what food I am expecting. Ah, from the huge sign, I guess it's something like laksa in claypot lar.

As I come from Penang, laksa to us is asam laksa, not the curry type as the KL people would like to call. Anyway, either one is OK with me. Since the trip is paid, I asked for the SGD5 portion. Then I was greeted with a question, "Do you want 'hang'?" I said "huh?" for 3 times until I realised she's asking "si hum"!

There are more and more Chinese from mainland working in S'pore! Even the cleaners in hotel are mostly mainland Chinese. Where are all the Singaporean working actually har?


This was what greeted me on the tray, aromatic and thick curry! I can tell it's gonna be a great curry laksa before even tasting it! Indeed, very nice!


A great view of the food court during busy Friday lunch time. Hey, how come they have more sweet looking girls in their food court?! Where are all our nice looking girls? Why is it so hard for us to have good views in M'sia?!

Hey, the guy in the foreground is our first singles. A consistent and great player!
