Singapore Food Fest = Our Food Fest !!

It's Singapore Food Festival. Since both of us love feasting, decided to check out the event held on a bridge at Clarke Quay. It turned out to be a disppointing one for us as we thought we would be able to try a varieties of delicious food. It was just a collection of famous stalls from various Kopitiam food court. All purchases have to be paid via kopitiam card, no cash allowed.

Walking down further towards The Central, there was riverside flea market and a puppet show.

Dinner at Marutama Ra-men !! This was our 5th or 6th visits, but first time dinning with camera. Finally able to add these food photos to my collections.

Though it has another outlet at Liang Court, preferred to dine here where the chefs and the supervisor are all Japanese. Hence, it seems more authentic and tastier to me. Shortly after we arrived, queue was forming up fast.





There were a choice of 3 soup base: miso, soy or spicy. Both of us love the spicy soup base and would always top up with Ajitsuke Tamago (egg), which is a must have ! So far, both of us feel this is the best place for ramen! Nama Karashi Ra-men for both of us please !

The char siew literally melts in your mouth and we love the chicken base soup. Some would find the soup a bit salty.



The famous Ajitsuke Tamago ! The whole egg is well-seasoned, and it is very very soft ! It is around 70% cooked and the york is still in liquid form. It is available for for top-up at only $1 compared to Tampopo's $2. Give me a few more eggs and i certainly wun mind !

Another muz have dish, its signature Char Siew! It's surprising soft and tender. And a few drops of lemon juice actually bring out the taste. Goes well with the chilli powder too ! Yummy !!

I am drooling all over !

My gal's muz have dish, Doshimaki ! This made by folding layers of egg omelette together. It's soft and sweet despite many layers. Compared to the egg on top of the tamago sushi, this egg is simply much more hevenly !



Gal was craving for some desserts and the ice-cream at Haato looks savory ! Chose Cookie and Cream and Wild Raspberry! Nice combination and love the rich taste ! Definitely better than most of the Italian Gelato ice-cream....



Nite shots without tripod was tough !
Regretted not bringing the tripod out.


Love the lighting of the bridge in the background. On normal days, this bridge doesn't seems to have the colorful lighting. No tripod, could not get a good shot.

Nice view of the ACM ! Guess all these buildings are lighted up due to the NDP rehersal at the Padang.

Beautiful interior structure of Fullerton Hotel. Heading back home after a long walk. A Feasting Saturday for both of us .......

Fun @ Abusement Park ?!?!

It's sat, a short working week for me. Suffering from Bangkok blues. Shopped around Orchard before we settle down at Plaza Sing for our dinner.


After the dinner, head to SAM to explore the Abusement park which had a long queue yesterday. Had quite a bit of fun @ the Abusement Park !







Some shots taken when we were in the queue. After 20 mins, we finally see the gate. While we are queuing, there is a masked guy playing guitar and singing some nice songs. However, he was getting too close with the ladies and his eyes have a fierce expression. No wonder he's scaring the ladies away. And he perform to the ladies !



The first "station" that we came across. A mini pond with doll's head hanging and different parts of the doll in the pond. I suppose the red light is to stimulate bloody water. The lady on the left refills her water gun and shoots randomly at the crowd in the abusement park.

This station is quite fun. Lots of people like to role-play at the old execution deck. Juz for $2, one can purchase $10 abusement notes. Each station requires $2 abusement dollar. All proceeds will go to the charity.

Managed to capture the process of "execution" =s

Mock Human Meat stall ? It looks more like doll meat stall. The butcher knife looks real though as it pierce through the doll's body. Well, abusive enough !



Inconvenience Store ??? ZzZzZz ............

Well, this seems to protrait the opposite. Get a life by smoking , feasting rubbish and staying healthy by inhaling toxic? hmm ...........

are we lucky or the shooter is a very bo-bo shooter?

Hungry ??? No worries, a puff and the hunger will be gone !

A dictator that is brought away by armed terrorists

Abusment Notes given to us by a kind soul !!! Both of us were very paisei. We were actually asking someone how did he actually get the Abusement Notes. After explaining to us we can get $10 Abusement Dollar at the information counter for just $2, he then gave us $4 Abusement Dollar. He said he and his friend has a total of $20 Abusement Dollar and can't finish using.

A short video clip on Alphabet soup, where doggies learn alphabets ....





The last venue for the day ..... an origami room ??

On our way back, spotted this guy sitting at the bus-stop. A Gucci freak guy !! Everything from his hat, shirt, shorts, belt to his shoes are Gucci ! Got so much money to spend on branded clothings yet taking buses? hmmm.......
