Pre-Exam Fridays

Alas I can finally have one day where I can actually sit down and update my blog and at the same time relax while it rains cats, dogs, hyena's and elephants outside. This is what I call, ironcially, a real Sunday.

Had a couple of great bites over the last few days eating some old stuff and also trying out some new places as well.

(Friday: 08 April 2011) Didn't do much except have dinner at Kovan (Bagus Yong Tau Fu) which is a MUST try place, tried a big JUMBO sized yogurt and studied.

his is one of my usual food haunts, "Bagus Yong Tau Fu" at Kovan. They have another outlet along Upper Changi Road and are quite well known. It opens till late and you have a relatively wide selection of food to choose from for your own consumption. They actually seperate the fried food from the cooked ones so that's always a good thing. You can choose your style of noodles to go along (Ampang, Normal, Laksa, Tom Yum, etc.). I always love the Tom Yum soup cause it is spicy and sour, not suitable for the gastric. They serve pretty fast though the price is reasonable, cheaper would have been great. Good place to go on a cold day or if you are not feeling well. Of course parking is always a bitch in that area (since the store is actually down the road from the famous Punggol Nasi Lemak) so those familiar with that area will know when i say parking is a real bitch sometimes. Oh yes and another good point, this joint is halal certified. :)

Tried this new yogurt joint "Yoguru" at Thomson Plaza level 1 and this is actually their jumbo cup which is REALLY REALLY BIG. You can choose between the normal or promegranate (or you can mix) flavor of yogurt and add on the toppings of your choice. This one we chose strawberry, oreo and nata de coco. It is a little pricey to be honest and the staff (female service crews on duty that day) are decent looking though they have a little attitude problem. Or perhaps we were one of the last customers of the day and they had worked long hours. But putting those minor flaws aside, what perhaps was most disappointing was that though this was jumbo size and they really fill the cup in height, the middle is actually empty so as Linda pointed out, either the staff are not experienced or this is how they cheat my feelings for a jumbo cup. Wouldn't say I am a big fan of the place.


Since the exams are looming and I am super far behind in my preparation, I am either horde up at Serene Center MacDonald's or East Coast Carl's Junior. I prefer the latter as it is more peaceful. Anyways, whenever I am there, walking pass THIS sign always never fail to crack me up...

So if I were to order a mermaid, I really can't be faulted can I? I mean really, you are promising people you will serve whatever that swims. OK maybe mermaid's are a little too far-fetched and too imginable. How about a whale or a dolphin or a sperm?

Anyways the packed weekend spilled onto Saturday.
