A Weekend @ Singapore Food Trail & Flea Market

Last Friday, there was no LG so we had dinner at home. Wanted to go for a late night movie but was feeling too tired and lazy so ended up staying at home through the night.
Felt a bit peckish so I prepared some ham and cheese for supper.

Saturday, woke up early and went Ghim Moh for breakfast with folks. Had my usual fare, folks too and wifey tried prawn noodles. Can feel the weather beginning to turn hot recently, so we decided to go for a swim at Queenstown swimming pool after breakfast.
We swam for about an hour and as the sun was beginning to scorch our skin, we decided to come up before we get sun burnt.

Went back and shared a packet of nasi lemak (bought earlier in Ghim Moh) for lunch. It was nice! food usually tastes exceptionally delicious after a swim. After lunch we watched Rumpunzel cartoon on the DVD. Both wifey and myself enjoyed the show as the songs and storyline of the cartoon were captivating.

For dinner, we decided to try the Singapore Food Trail @ the Singapore Flyer. I was excited and I think folks were very interested too. As there is an early BPL match between Man Utd and West Ham at 7:45pm, we left home earlier (about 5pm) to the flyer. I expected a large crowd but because we were early (thankfully!) the crowd hasn’t formed yet. We chose our seats at the open area and went to buy our food. Singapore Food trail is a 60’s themed food court with a wide selection of “retro” famous stalls.

Mom ate Tai Hwa Bak chor mee, wifey ate Bak Kut Teh, Dad bought Rojak, ice kacheng and cheng tng to share and I bought orh luak (fried oyster) and satay bee hoon to share. Its been quite some time since the whole family tried a new dinner place so the dinner was particularly enjoyable for me.
Deb and Family joined us a little later and they too ordered a wide variety of food to enjoy. As the crowd was beginning to swell near 6plus we decided to avail our tables and walk around near the flyer. The surrounding is beautiful and quite windy. Very relaxing to just walk along the track and take some photos along the way.

We left the place about 720pm and headed home. Parking charges was rather costly at about $6+ for 2+ hours ( $1.20per half hour charges). Reached home just in time for the game. West Ham stormed to a 2-0 half time lead before Rooney led Man Utd to a 4-2 comeback victory. Dad was pleased as a punch of the final result. ;o)
On Sunday after service, wifey and myself joined Abel and Eugene for the first time to the flea market at China Square. It was very interesting there, with lots and lots of toys on sale. We spent about 2-3 hours there just looking at mostly toys. Wifey bought 2 cute cartoon T-shirts there for $12. I did not buy anything but I hope to go back again next time.
