Changi General Hosiptal

A few days ago, I went for my eye checkup at Changi General Hospital. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the place as well as the friendliness of the doctors, receptionists and nursing staff. The above photos were taken about 11 am which was the lull period. I noticed that the eye clinic provide the patients with packets of crackers or biscuits if you may call them. They were place on top of the water dispenser. Naturally, by this time most of the crackers were gone.
While waiting for my eye examination results, I went to the foodcourt run by Kopitiam. I had a plate of nasi padang and a cup of coffee. The F & B were reasonably priced.

Spaghetti with mussels and broccoli in tomato sauce for lunch today after a heavy dinner with friends at Hong Kong Street Restaurant last night.

A more sensible meal@ home

After last night of heavy and oily dinner, I requested my wife to cook me a simple and healthy lunch. It was made up of miso soup, broccoli, kimchi, a fried egg and a bowl of Japanese rice.
For the next few days, I don't think I would want to have a heavy dinner like the one I had last night.

Dinner@ P12

We visited P12 coffee shop in Sengkang again for dinner. Our menu was fried sliced pepper beef, sambal sting ray, sambal kangkong and rice. The food was good but we found it was too oily.
We became very thirsty after that. Think the quality of oil they used for frying wasn't the good type. That's basically the problem with eating out. We spent $32 for the above 3 dishes.

Our blessed Sunday lunch@ home and chu char dinner

We had our Sunday lunch at home. Rice from Japan, nikujaga, bitter gourd and potato salad. All dishes were prepared and cooked by my wife. Wish we could eat at home more often but sometimes due to our schedule it's not possible. 

Chu char dinner

Dinner was at a coffee shop in the Sengkang area (P12 coffee shop). This was our first time there. We ordered the hot-plate tofu with seafood and minced meat, sweet sour sliced fish, sambal kangkong and a bowl of rice each. The food was above average. I like the sweet sour fish and the tofu. The kangkong was not spicy enough for me. The cost was $28.50. The place was 40% full at around 5pm.
Service was fast and we like it. We will frequent this place soon. 

Rambutan

Rambutan is an important fruit tree of humid tropical Southeast Asia, traditionally cultivated especially in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. It is a popular garden fruit tree and propagated commercially in small orchards. It is one of the best-known fruits of Southeast Asia and is also widely cultivated elsewhere in the tropics including Africa, the Caribbean islands, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama, India, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. It is also produced in Ecuador where it is known as achotillo and on the island of Puerto Rico.

Thailand is the largest producer of rambutan, with 588,000 tonnes (55.5%), followed by Indonesia with 320,000 tonnes (30.2%) and Malaysia with 126,300 tonnes (11.9%) in 2005, the three countries collectively accounting for 97% of the world's supply of rambutan. In Thailand, major cultivation center is in Surat Thani Province. In Indonesia, the production center of rambutan is located in the western parts of Indonesia, which includes Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan.

The fruit is sweet and contains vitamin c and others. The above cost S$6.60 which I bought from a fruit stall in Ang Mo Kio.
