Checked in the hotel for a rest and we gathered to plan for the rest of the trip.
My friends and I, who shared the same room,
soaked our legs in the bathtub chatting and waiting for the others to get ready for dinner.
^^ bathtub~~
I really want a bathtub when I get my own house next time.
We went back to the shopping mall that we had spent only 20 mins earlier before,
to settle our dinner because it was the nearest one.
I'm sure you know KFC, there is also BFC there.
Best fried chicken, we walked around and couldn't find anything else that was as interesting,
so we ate there.
Their chilli is awesome.
My Indonesian friend said that they don't sell it,
because it expires in a day so they would have to make them fresh everyday.
There are also lots of ingredients and lots of work to make the chilli.
We went around shopping, the things there are not much different from Singapore.
At least, what they have in the shopping malls.
And Then, We went out to the streets.
And it's there.
Their life and culture.
Something I have been looking forward too.
We bought some street food for supper, they are super delicious!
Another worrying thing is that they don't keep check of their hygiene.
Make sure to have some pills with you
if you have been living in such a clean environment your whole life and if you think you can't take it.
A little dirt is good for you, and besides the food is too yummy to be missed out.
There is this dish that is lontong, with beehoon noodles, koropok and an amazing peanut sauce.
The smells and taste delicious!
Though it looks quite messy, it is actually nice.
It's called kepotprak.
We also eat the crayfish, with their chilli sauce.
Loved by my local friend. You can eat the small bones since they are so soft.
We are only left with the middle bone and some parts of the head by the time we are finish.
The chicken and mutton satay, lontong.
Eat them together with the satay peanut sauce.
I should have bought more...
There is this bread desert. They made it super slowly, but it was worth the wait.
I've got no idea what it is called.
They used the bun of the hotdog bread, slice it in half to make a sandwich (from the sides, not the top),
spread lots of butter both sides.
Then, one side your choice of chocolate rice or jams and the other side warmed up banana.
Sandwich them up together and pan fry them in a very well buttered pan on very low heat until the chocolate melts.
Press them into a flat rectangular box and cut into bite size pieces. So nice!
I'll try making them myself soon. =]
Banana and chocolate, what a good pairing.
That's what we did on the first day.
The next morning, BREAKFAST!
It is awesome!!! A little of everything and I ate a lot, I am happy. =]
There is noodles, fried bee hoon, coconut rice, porridge with lots of toppings of your choice, toast, salads, sausages and omelettes, cereals and milk, there's even Japanese rice and miso soup.
They have this drink that is at the fruits and desserts section. It is good for your health, but it taste weird.
Not used the star anise taste.
We didn't follow the tour bus back to the ferry station and we opted for the last ride home so that we can spend more time there.
The transportation isn't that much of a problem.
Their taxis don't have the taxi sign on top.
But there are many taxis outside the hotel.
As soon as we step out of the hotel, they'll ask if you need a ride.
It is good to travel with friends because we can share cab fees.
We can also buy a lot of different kind of food and not be afraid of wasting them.
We wanted to play archery or paint ball but one is too far and the other is out of budget.
So we went back to the go krat area.
There wasn't as much people as the day before so the operators there had let us play longer than the allocated time. Probably twice as long.
All the people on the track are all people we know, so it is much more fun playing with strangers.
We can laugh and make fun of each other to our hearts content.
I came on this 2 day 1 night trip with 6 others from my poly CCA, the Japanese culture club.
And as expected from cosplayers, their poses are cool shit! =D
We went to the mega mall near the ferry station for our lunch and kill time to wait for the boat.
And shopping too.
Although most things they sell there are available in Singapore,
and the pricing isn't that much different, there are other things to do too.
And like many other visitors, we went to check out the A&W,
TOO BAD that their gas machine is down, no gas drinks,
the only thing I wanted to try was their A&W float. =[
We went shopping at the basement, their hypermarket. It was cool.
Though you have to be careful, they don't allow bagpacks or more than one bag in,
so you'll have to check them at the counter near the entrance.
They have an eatery within the hypermart.
My friend got me some bakso soup, and fried siewmai which comes with the peanut sauce.
I swear, anything you add to the peanut sauce will taste delicious. No kidding.
Too bad they don't sell the peanut sauce too. T-T
I 打抱 home some fried siewmai, and they wrapped it up pretty nicely.
Bought a bunch of maggie mee (My friend got herself a basket full) and some passion fruit. =]
Like trying new things that are nice.
Soon, we got damned bored.
We finally settled down in this awesome area.
Why don't they have this is the malls in Singapore???
Waiting for the last few minutes for us to check into the ferry station.
And we are on our way home.
So tired...... and there's work the next day too.....
I came on this trip to relax.....
but still.... I want to sleep more...
ZZZzzZZZzzzZzzzzz
God bless you who are going on a trip.
Have a safe journey and have fun!
