.....times of refreshing.....

 

The Gateway

Suntec City

By the way, I have been exercising and working out non-stop since last Sunday. It was great as I covered 14km from Sunday till Thursday as well as work with weights for two evenings. I also had badminton yesterday. Now, my body really ached and tired....hahaha ... I especially welcome the short break during this long weekend. And yeah, since most of the eateries are closed after 9.30pm, I gotta settled for my favourite Aglio Olio tonight.


Have a good weekend and enjoy your holidays. To my Muslims readers, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!! :)

Bugis Junction and Continental Hotel

The Rochor building at the background ... which is going to make way soon for an highway

Landmark Village Hotel .. famous for Indian cuisines

I am sure this place will change a bit once developments started , especially the highway at the Rochor centre.

It's always a refreshing sight to see restored pre-war houses in Singapore. These shoplots looks so beautiful after the refurbishment and repaint and its usefulness still stands, either for commercial purpose or just stayed in  for residency.

The pre-war shophouses at Tessensohn Road, above and below

Away from the bustling shopping districts or tourist attractions, I checked out the quieter side of the city which definitely have a history to tell.

Shop houses near the Raffles hotel - The beautiful exterior has been preserved while I believe they renovated the interior for business needs

The other side of Singapore near beach road.

It's seems down memory lane walking along these corridors. :) Meanwhile, along the shoplots near beach road , there's a lot of nice eateries especially chicken rice, western food and pubs. I was at YY Kafei Dian for their chicken rice, which were crowded during lunch.

Crowded!

Besides the chicken rice, I also love their kaya bun, which has a thick crust at the top.

Yummy............ :)

Well, there seems to be more and more 'makan' malls in Singapore where Bedok point is one of them. The entire mall were almost filled with eateries and restaurants, with only a small percentage of shops. It was a Friday evening where I have worked late and thought of having a dinner in Bedok Point before I leave for home.

I had a simple but expensive meal at Kungfu Paradise Club. They have a few branches in Singapore and I like their varieties of food which were not bad.

Ready to order

Looking out from where I seated

I ordered a platter of sausages, rib eye and chicken chop.

And their speciality Kungfu Coffee to go along

The food was good and the platter was making me very full. The meat, especially the rib eye and chicken chop were nicely marinated with spices and grilled. It was awesome! I also like the wasabi salad.

The dinner winds up my week and I am heading back to JB soon.
