Food!
Went to makan at this "da4 pai2 dang4" food fest at somerset yday. Super crowded and the place reminded me of the food street i saw in Penang but smaller. Shared table with an uncle in his 70s and his auntie fren. This uncle was really cute and friendly and he kept chatting with us non-stop. Practically could tok about anything under the sun and his ability to create and link chat topics really amazed mi. Quite entertained by him hee. Had this oyster omelette (ate 2 small oysters even though i'm not supposed to have seafood :p) - not bad but a bit ex ($5 for a small plate) and the queue was super damned long. Had hokkien mee oso ($4 for a big plate) and it was quite nice but the queue was also long for this stall.
Still on the food topic, i tried this nasi lemak at Adam Rd the other day at this stall with super long queue. But it was quite overhyped -
1) the chilli was not spicy enuff;
2) the otah was not even hot;
3) the chicken wings was so-so only, they only coat them with flour to make it crispier, but tt's all;
4) the ikan billis cmi (cannot make it);
5) it's more expensive at $3 (egg, ikan, chicken) and $4 (plus otah).
Think i still prefer changi village's nasi lemak. But the prawn mee there was quite good according to my sis (i had a few sips of the soup, it was great!) Will definitely wan to try the prawn mee once i can eat seafood.
