Was at the airport to collect this pet cat and clear her through CAPQ formalities. There is no need for this cat to be quarantined as she came from a country that does not have rabies and other animal diseases. Transported her to her new home at Farrer Road.

Breakfast: 928 Yishun Laksa




928 Yishun Laksa is at Block 928, Yishun Central 1. It closes on every Sunday. Operating hours are from 10am till 7pm or while stock last. A big bowl cost $3.30 and a small one $2.80. The gravy and chilli is good. Wish the see-hum or cockles are bigger. The queue is usually long especially during lunch time. The long queue is also due to people tarpowing (take-away) many packets of laksa.

Today's breakfast : Mee Pok and Lor Mee



Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lor_mee

Lor mee (Chinese: 鹵麵; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: ló͘-mī) is a Chinese-inspired noodle dish served in a thick starchy gravy and thick flat yellow noodles (also known as lor mee). The dish is eaten by Hokkiens (Min Nan speakers) in Singapore and Malaysia. The thick gravy is made of corn starch, spices and eggs. The ingredients added into the noodles are usually ngo hiang, fish cake, fish, round and flat meat dumplings (usually chicken or pork), half a boiled egg, and other items depending on the stall and the price paid. Vinegar and garlic can be added as an optional item. The dish is also eaten with red chili. Traditional versions also include bits of fried fish as topping though few stalls serve this version anymore.
