It is not Seletar Kopi but Food Scholar now !

I mentioned that I was at Seletar Kopi yesterday. It's now known as Food Scholar. It will have  Indian food, Malay food, Western food and a dessert stall besides the other food like Korean, Ban Mian etc as mentioned in yesterday's post. Hope the new additions would be better than before.

New Seletar Kopi@ Greenwich is now opened

We visited the old Seletar Kopi (Kopitiam). It was closed for about 4 months as business wasn't good. The new owner took over but although the name has changed the place is still the same. Not much renovation was done and there are a few same food stalls there. Our favourite Ban Mian stall was there and so was the Yong Tau Foo stall, Korean food stall and the Chicken rice stall. The only new addition was the Thai Food stall (closed today which is Monday)which we understand is selling delicious Thai cuisine.
We ordered Ban Mian ($4 formerly was $4.40) and after that had the Old Chung Kee's Cheesy fried chicken ($2.50) which was tasty. Then we proceeded for our tea at Toast Box (next door).

It is a great Sunday

Since I went to AMK to pay the deposit for the rental of the room for the cabin crew wannabes "Talks", I stopped at Long Xjing  stall for my favorite fish soup and rice. The queue is usually long but within 15 minutes I was served. It's value for money plus the fish served was fresh.

Busy schedule so ate out

We were busy with work that my wife does not have the time to cook. Besides, shopping at the supermarket for veggies and groceries today (Saturday) is quite challenging. We ended up eating Yong Tau Fu for breakfast and Nasi Lemak for dinner.

Salad,soup and bread buffet in Japan

Order either the onion rings or fries as your main course and you get to eat the all-you-can salad, soup and bread for only $13. 

This was my dinner. Didn't eat lunch as I had the Toast Box  Mee Siam set for brunch. My dinner was quite nutritious. It was made up of (clockwise from top left) niku jaga, fried bitter gourd, miso soup, Japanese rice and fried sardines (fish).

Ba-Chor Mee and Toast Box Mee Goreng Set

Today, I had ba-chor mee for breakfast, niku jaga for lunch and mee goreng for dinner. Admittedly, except for the niku jaga, my meals were unhealthy. But then I craved for hawker food so badly.
Hopefully tomorrow's meals will be healthier.

Lunching with my schoolmates and teacher

Was at Shaw House Food Republic this afternoon with my ex-teacher and schoolmates. I had the beef soup and rice ($9.80). After lunch, a few of us adjourned to Toast Box for our usual kopi and toasts.
The gentleman in the blue shirt (next to me) was an engineer and the one in the white shirt next to Mr Koh is a medical specialist (still practising) Mr Koh will be flying back to Canada next week.

Hotel buffet breakfast in Japan

We stayed at a hotel near Kurosaki Station, Kitakyushu Japan (last week). It was a large room for two and came with a eat-all-you-can breakfast. The room was super clean and had comfortable Simmons mattresses.
The rate was around S$ 250 for two. It was quite expensive as it is situated near the train station.

Mee Rebus Set and a chat at Toast Box

I was at Toast Box and ordered the Mee Rebus set. It was quite pricey at $7.30c. The Mee was not as soft as I expected but the gravy and coffee O was as good as before.
I knew the cleaner Ah San who at one time was working at a coffee shop nearby. We chatted for a while. San is 65 years old but his movement was quite slow. He told me he would be quitting end of the year. He is a cancer survivor.
As San and I was chatting ( the place was quite deserted), another fellow, a customer, joined in our conversation. He told us he was 75 years old and he looked fit and trimmed. When asked what was he working in his younger days, he replied he was a fisherman. His fitness was due to the hard he had to endure as a fisherman, he told us.
The food, atmosphere and people at Toast Box was nice. I enjoyed every bit of my time there this afternoon.
