Today, I went to Changi Hospital for post cataract operation checkup. The eye pressure has dropped to 17 which is considered normal. It was 23 the day after the ops.
Travelling time to the hospital and back was 2 hours. Waiting time was 2 hours but consultation time was only 10 minutes.
After consultation, I headed to the coffee shop near the Simei MRT Station and had charsiew/siew yok rice ($3). Cabbage and chicken feet soup was free flow at no cost. After lunch, I ordered a cup of kopi O ($1.80) at ToastBox which was about 10 meters away. The kopi O was about the same standard as the one which was sold at the coffee shop ($1). Promised myself never to order any kopi from Simei ToastBox again. For dessert, I went up to the upper level of Eastpoint Mall (think it was Food Junction) and had a whole coconut ($3.50). The meat was jelly-like (too soft) and the juice was sourish. Again I told myself never to have the coconut again at this mall.
Finally, I had a haircut from a Malay barber shop (same level as the Food Junction). I was rather shock that a haircut is now $12 instead of $10!

Assam Laksa at Hougang Mall







This is one of the best Penang laksa in SG. It is being sold at Hougang Mall along Hougang Avenue 10, a stone's throw from the Hougang MRT Station. This is a take away joint and if you want to eat then bring the laksa up to the 4 level of the mall where there is a foodcourt.
The laksa cost $3.50c and the taste is delightfully spicy. Service may be a bit slow and the queue wasn't long but it's worthwhile waiting.
After the laksa, I had a piece of durain kueh and a kueh salat from the famous Bengawan Solo. These kueh made a sensible dessert after that spicy laksa.
Incidentally, I had a $10 haircut from a Malay barber. Nearby is a hairdresser shop where one could get a haircut for $3.80c. I do not like the $3.80 cheap haircut as the women hairdressers are not proficient in cutting men's hair.
