Food

So i don't really have anything to post about (or rather i don't have anything non-sensitive to talk about) so i have decided to go into the sideline of.... food reviews!

Of the food around the tanjong pagar area. I mean, since i'm going to be here a while, might as well make some sort of reference material for myself so i remember what's good and what's not...and i wanna test out this blogger photo thing. (edit: which apparently doesn't work.)

So we start off with 2 stalls at Tanjong Pagar Market just above Tanjong Pagar Plaza. (or in it, i can't really tell.) Kudos to Christian for reccomending the place.


For starters: Nasi lemak from 02-43, a very small unassuming stall which is somehow -smaller- in stature than the others, because of a lack of a humongous name signboard. "banana leaf nasi lemak" i believe it's called. or some random other vegetation. Anyway, the point is, it is amazing value for money! for $2 you get what's pictured in the photo above (or below) and the chicken is really good, crispy yet moist inside. Could be because the one i had was just freshly fried and straight out of the kuali. But the other bits are a bit oily.

Er ok i'm rambling. Nasi lemak. Good. Long queue, but super efficient. 13 ppl in 5 minutes.


Annie's Peanut ice kachang. Amazing. the ice is crushed really tiny so it melts in your mouth (well, i mean, like, as opposed to in your bowl). $1.50.

Total cost of lunch together with a $0.60 cup of chin chow (which tasted a bit like barley, dunno if it's on purpose or coz never wash cup....) = $4.10.

Which is about, oh, US$2.50? What can i buy for US$2.50??? Man.

Yes ok rambling. perhaps food reviews aren't a good idea.
