There is Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice. It is already famous enough... expensive chicken rice but I guess it is good and tasty enough to warrant it. Where else do you get pryamid shaped chicken rice, which is not excessively oily , fragrant and in tiny portion?
I'd seen people taking pics of their signboard. But I can't bring myself to do it. It is too touristy and freaky for a local to do that. Hurhur.
I prefer the roasted chicken cause the skin is so crispy and fragrant. It doesnt have slabs of fats under neath it- just the way i like.
We ordered the grilled prawn with cheese just to shut the trap of the waitress who couldnt take no for an answer and who couldnt stop up-selling. it tasted real good. cheese oozzing and piping hot.
Next to Boon Tong Kee, there is a teochew restaurant called erm, Teochew Crusine Restaurant. How imaginative. They were featured on CH8 before, happy to say, this recommendation was well given.
For starters, they serve us carrot cake, warm, springy and spicy ! It doesnt look very impressive... so never judge a book by its cover. I gobbled almost all of it, leaving poor bf to finish the smaller bits. LOL.
This is fried squid with prawn paste. It smells like they just roasted it in their kitchen. I would say, it smells better than its taste. I had envisioned the dish to be in calamari style, so it was a surprise to see chunky pieces of squid. All the chewing is tiring to the jaws. Still, worth a try.
My fav sam lui hor fun~. The portion is big, the fish is fresh, the hor fun is stirred fried with aromatic aftertaste. I'd take sam lui hor fun over seafood horfun anyday.
And if you need desert, walk down to Valley Point's Ice Cream Gallery. They serve handmade icecream with fresh ingredients.
And yes, after HK and all my foodie places, I'm not as skinny as before. erm. I am not fat, just not so skinny anymore and I wanna be skinny. (if not, what will happen to all my clothes?!)

Magmum Gold isnt the only choice if you want a taste of sea salt caramel. I'd nvr like caramel but Ice Cream Gallery's version of sea salt caramel with almonds is something I would order again and again. It really IS gold colour, as the pic below can illustrate.
Next to it. the brown blob of ice cream is Chocolate with Marshmallows. A sweet name no doubt, but they combine dark chocolate with tiny bits of marshmallows. A chewy hint of sweetness among the bitter ice cream is clever touch.

Freak accidents happen and I wonder what did those people do to deserve what they get?? ( cause I think I am a believer in karma, eh sometimes). I mean, get killed by falling trees when you are safely in a car? And people worries about car accidents on the other hand. Or getting smashed to death in a bus? By a crane? Which could have been prevented had he selected another seat.
It is so easy to comment about stuff in hindsight... but I truly believe what is meant to happen will happen. Tht is just meant to be. no matter how tragic/unfair/stupid. Who can you blame except yourself?
