Lunch @ Golden Mile Hawker Centre

I went to Beach Road to run errands...The Concourse at Beach Road is where all the best party supplies are, so I am told. I went there to see what was available. I am making goodie bags for the kids at Cutie's birthday party at the end of the month.

Lunched with Mr G, and at his recommendation we tried this Lor Mee stall on the 2nd floor of the hawker centre. A queue of about 3 people, but it moved pretty quickly. There were lots of accolades posted on the front of the stall, and the lady was quite nice and friendly.

SGD4 for an upsized portion. Wow, quite pretty isn't it? the fried wontons which lined the bowl were large and very crispy. Interesting addition of fried sliced lotus root. Quite yummy too. The gravy was not as generous as I liked, but that's just me. I like lots of gravy to slurp my noodles in. I think the lady here puts less gravy so that her wontons, which were clearly the stars of the event, wouldn't get soggy.

Dessert next.

I was thinking of trying the Belgian chocolate waffles (lots of hype about this angmo selling dessert in a hawker centre), but Mr G isn't keen on chocolate, and I also felt rather heaty so we ended up with a nice cooling dessert of tang yuen instead. Mine came in almond paste and his was a peanut soup. This stall was from the 1st floor, and though it had some accolades on the store front, it wasn't crowded. SGD2 for the almond paste, balls are an extra cost.

Thanks for the recommendations Mr G.

Lor Mee @ Seah Imm Hawker Centre

Sorry for the lack of updates... I have been so super busy with work! Sigh!

Also, been doing dumb things on Facebook! :( I have a Facebook fluffpet called Chocolate!

LOR MEE

I am so addicted to Lor Mee. I love it. And I have been unsatiable. I have had lor mee for lunch three times in 1 week!

I love the lor mee at Seah Imm Hawker Centre, facing the main road. It's a really popular stall, so just look out for the stall with the queues. The queue moves very quickly though, so I am always willing to wait.

Only SGD2.50 for a huge portion. I omit the garlic and parsley and add a generous dash of black vinegar and chili... mmm, heaven.

The gravy is thick and not too gooey, and very fragrant.

The meat is tender and there is lots of ingredients, including sliced egg, fried wontons and fish cake.

It tastes just as good when I tarpow it back to the office.

It tastes great when I eat it at the hawker centre too.

There is also a $3 portion, which I have yet to try. The $2.50 portion is so generous, it is more than enough for a big eater like me.

I am amazed how something so good can be so cheap!!

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang musical at Esplanade

On saturday, DH and left Cutie with Por Por, and went to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I didn't really know the story beforehand (what an ignoramus!)... so I was so surprised to see all these children at the matinee (mostly angmo kiddies). Oh, it's about a flying race car? And twins who lived with their eccentric inventor father? Ah, it was a lovely kiddy tale where the bad guys get banished and the good guys win the day... The kids in the esplanade hall loved it. They laughed and cheered and giggled at the right bits.

DH bought us 2 glasses of champagne at the intermission... at a cutthroat price of SGD20 EACH! My goodness, I am outraged at the sheer audacity.

But it was romantic to drink champagne in the late afternoon at the esplanade... hee hee.

We for a foot massage after that, and dinner at dempsey. No photos because I lost my phone before arriving at the restaurant. :( So it kinda spoilt the day a bit, as we went back and retraced our steps and tried to find the phone.

Good news was that a kind soul found the phone and returned it to my address (yippee). So I was still able to post these pics.

The kind soul refused to leave his name or number or accept a reward. So I will pay the good deed forward of course. Thank you very much Mr Kind Soul.
