Good Makan Week

This past week so far has been ok. Only had to be secretary to a big meeting and it went better than expected. It was a crazy rush asking people for papers and presentation slides and one of the presentation slides only came in 45 minutes before the meeting started. That meeting even though was on Tuesday took up nearly most of my week in terms of time spent to ensure the meeting went smoothly.

Would like to share with everyone 2 places I visited for lunch this week. On Monday, we went to this hawker centre that most of us usually patroned Pek Kio. I have never even heard of such a place in Singapore till I started working. Actually the road name is Cambridge Road and it is somewhere near KK Hospital, but somehow never had a chance to visit it. The most famous item in the hawker centre is the wan tan mee. Unfortunately it is usually sold out by 12 noon and so far I have only tried it twice. Another favourite of ours is the claypot fish rice. A very unique dish of deep fried fish (yet to discovered what fish it is) cooked in a claypot with rice and plenty of vegetable. A decent price of $4 as well!

Yesterday was to Smith Street market in Chinatown. My boss recommended an isolated zi char stall and we ordered:

1. Fried Rice
2. Mee Goreng
3. Omelette
4. Stir-fried vegetables
5. Chilli Prawns
6. Sweet n Sour Chicken

There were five of us and guess how much it costs us?

$20 IN TOTAL

Amazing Right! Still cannot believe the pricing and we adjorned to the Hawker Legend Ah Baling, a sweet glutinous rice flour ball with different fillings like yam, sesame, red bean, green bean, etc. It was really good cooked in a clear pandan flavoured soup. Definitely a place to visit in the future.

Today my company had a corp planning seminar, so our lunch was a bit more atas and it was at California Pizza Kitchen at Forum Shopping Centre. Excellent variety of pizzas such as Beijing duck.

Must really go to the gym this week!
