ON FOOD TRIP: POPEYE'S CHICKEN AND BISCUITS




Popeye's
Terminal 2, Changi Airport




Changi Airport is my second home HEHE! But really, you can see me often at the airport's three terminals. Most of my books i got at Times Newslink at terminal 2, Sweets at Bengawan solo at terminal 1, Curry puffs at Budget terminal. I had Popeye's chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuit while waiting for my girls. Wish we had this near our place coz i'm kind of bored eating the same chinese/malay food there everyday.

ON FOOD TRIP: HONGKONG STYLE

Another place where we went to have dinner and also located at East Coast Park is Hongkong Cafe. Ambiance is okay. Solo vocal/guitarist performed that night. A little pricey though but food was great as well as the chilli spices readily served on the table. What we had that night were Claypot beef brisket, Chicken lollipops, and this Fruit and ham salad (watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, turnips, corn kernels, cucumber topped with mayo and cream).




Pig out! :)

ON FOOD TRIP: STEAMBOAT FOR DINNER

Nearest place we can go to enjoy nature is by the beach. We are just 10 minutes walk away from it. We always head out to East Coast Park whenever we want to enjoy the night and breathe in some fresh ocean breeze. Along the park are restos, coffee shops, bars, mini carnival, bowling,  video game,billiards and other shops for rentals of bikes and roller skates. On Friday nights, people would set up tents and stay there until Sunday morning.  I will upload some photos i took in my next posts, i just can't find my HD. HEHE!



This is the place where we usually go, The Steamboat! You will have to do reservation for the place is really fully booked especially during the weekends. They would sit you in and prepare the gas tank and start the fire to heat up the soup. This is "eat-all-you-can resto". You just get whatever you want to put into your soup (Chicken or Tong Yam Soup/ spicy or not). You can choose from varieties of chicken, beef and seafoods marinated and ready for grilling. Vegetables, noodles, and different sauces are readily available.



Drinks, ice creams and other desserts, they have varieties to choose from.  This is really a place where you can pig out. I think the price is reasonable and food is really great. What's enjoying here is that you will have to cook them yourselves however you want and spice them up to your taste.



Hmm Posting this makes me hungry. I miss steamboat already!!!

ON FOOD TRIP: PASTA DE WAKARU

Pasta is one of my weaknesses. Love it so! And this is pasta heaven, Pasta de Waraku. This one is located at Terminal 2, Changi Airport, Singapore. They got like all kinds of pasta, sauces and recipes. One would wonder how each one tastes like. They got these plates lined up and displayed in and outside of the resto walls. Below each replica of pasta plate got this engraved name plates of the recipe.

Replica presentation like this is a cool way to help you make a choice of what you may want to have based on how they may look like. And they all look yummy! LOL! I had Carbonara by the way.
