The girl behind the counter looked like she didn’t want to be there, but the wrap was good. It cost S$5.  I asked for a grilled chicken baugette but she glumly said “Don’t Have”. Oh well. Liked the sweet and … Continue reading

Arnold’s Fried Chicken hits the Spot

Not the Arnold’s from Happy Days, but the Arnold’s in Singapore with the greasy but great home style fried chicken. They seem to be located in old, out of the way, delapidated shopping centres, like this one at Hougang Green … Continue reading

Liang Court: Katsu Don and the Cute Meerkat Sign

Ate at the only restaurant located at the basement. It was a bit stuffy that day and the air-conditioning wasn’t very strong. There was some kind of food fair going on. And the clothing shop with the flower garden theme, … Continue reading

Octapas at Clarke Quay

An interesting, but expensive tapas place at Clarke Quay (S$100 at least for a couple). Since I aim to be honest – service was slow, plates were only cleared after prompting, and the lighting was too dim for conversation. I … Continue reading

Bussorah Street to Bugis MRT

Just a pictorial walking guide of how we made our way back to Bugis MRT. The Sultan Mosque. So much colour and fabric, along the way. Marvellous rugs. Mannequins draped in jewel tones. Sufi’s Corner, but no hookah smokers on … Continue reading

Find Your Childhood at Children Little Museum (Part 4 of 5)

Getting My Bearings at Bussorah Street

From Fika we walked on and passed Bussorah Street. This is how i get my bearings – recalling the shops or interesting things that catch my eye along the way. There’s a sign here pointing towards the Malay Heritage Centre.
