Sanook Thai Restaurant at Changi Jewel

 








We ordered the Sanook set meal for 2. It was a satisfying meal and worth the money. The meal set was $26.90++. The chendol was an additional item ($3.90). The Thai chendol was not fantastic at all. It does not contain gula Melaka (Malacca brown sugar) so it was not up to my expectation.
The place was packed the Q was quite long even at 3.30 pm. Good food and a "must try".

Tim sum breakfast with friends

 










We had a nice tim sum with our friends at Tung Lok (Orchard Towers) on Sunday. It was a buffet service from 10.00 am till 12.30 pm. When we arrived at 10 am the restaurant was full. However, we had made a reservation the day before so seating isn't a problem. The food was not super good but good enough for the price of $28.50++ for each person. I particularly like the chicken feet and the siew mia.

Lunch with my Grab driver friend

 


Met my friend who is a Grab driver. He persuaded me to have lunch with him at Food Republic. Over lunch, he related lots of interesting stories regarding his current job. He has been driving for over 7 years and is making a decent living, he told me. One day when I have the time I will publish his stories here.
Since he asked me for lunch, he paid for the meal which was quite good.

Lunch@ Market Grill

 









Had a delicious lunch with a friend at Market Grill. The lobster roll was the best I had followed by the Kagoshima rump (100 gm),Fisherman's Pie and Creme Brulee for dessert.
I like the write up by Alexis Cheong on Market Grill. Go ahead and read what Alexis has said about the food served at Market Grill....here

Singapura Heritage Food @ Seletar Mall


 



The visit to Singapura Heritage at Seletar Mall was worth our time. Yes, I am talking about the food sold there. It is situated on the 3rd level, above where McDonald's is. I was craving for Eng's noodles for a while now and it happened there is an Eng's Wanton Noodle stall there. There are a few other stalls selling Old Hainan Curry rice, Prawn Mee etc.
We had the Eng's wanton mee for lunch and Prawn mee as well as the hay pia set for dinner. They were all flavorsome except for the popiah (spring roll).
Besides the above, there are Song Fa Bakut Teh, Hai Di Lao, Ding Tai Fung and many other eateries at Seletar Mall.

My former colleagues

 


My ex-colleague John Chua, the man on your right is one of the fastest sprinters in his age group. He is 76 and able to sprint 100 meter in 16.25 secs.
The other guy is Percy, a former inflight supervisor with SIA. He left the airlines many years ago and immigrated to Australia.
