An Eventful Saturday

It was a relatively relaxed morning of dragon boating simply because there were plenty of new rowers in the boat. If only we get new rowers every week. Hehe… After washing up, we head down to BANQUET at Raffles Place for an organic lunch. It was JK’s suggestion and it’s his treat so we went along with him.

Vin was pretty reluctant as he was neither a fan of vegetables nor healthy food. Sel had only tried Yogi House organic food at Boon Tat Street. Since that experience, she was not really keen either. Having organic food after dragon boating feels so unrewarding! Well, it was a pretty relaxed session so we don’t really deserve to pig out anyway.

There was a variety on menu. JK ordered 4 different dishes to share between the 5 of us and a nutty jelly each for dessert. We came out surprisingly full. Thank you Uncle JK. Hehe…

Then we head down to Vivocity to run some errands at the bank. Vin had been pestering Sel to switch from POSB to UOB because of the instability of the bank currently. Well, after much nagging, she relented and got it done there as both POSB and UOB have an extended hour branch in Vivocity.

With nothing planned after that, we decided to do some window shopping and tried looking for the perfect wedding ring for us. It will not be easy because we both have very different preferences and Sel insist that we get a matching pair. While aimlessly walking around the shopping centre we ended up in Giant. Guess who we bumped into? Fairus and girlfriend! Hehe… That was pretty awkward.

All the walking had made us hungry so we started to hunt for food and stumbled upon The Chicken Rice Shop. The outlook of the shop wasn’t very good, it looked very yellow. Clueless about what to have, we decided to eat there anyway. We ordered the Set B for 2 and added a side dish of fried wanton.

The service was fast. See we only managed to get a few shots of ourselves.

And the food looks good too.

Pai Tee

Fried Wanton

Ipoh Bean Sprouts

Braised Chicken

Grilled Butter Chicken

The picture on the leaflet looks more yummy...

All that we ordered

All of them gone...

It was really YUMMY! Probably the best chicken rice in Singapore. It’s even better than Mackenzie Rex chicken rice. Even the bean sprout which we both dislike tasted good. The price is comparable to Mackenzie Rex as well. It is not cheap but for the quality and quantity, it is definitely value for money.

Must try! Must try!

With our stomach full and our feet aching, we head home beaten. Not because of dragon boating but due to the walking.
