Paddington Market

I like the concept of weekend markets because you can find so many local brands/entrepreneurs in action. Seldom go weekend marketing in Singapore though. Will browse if I chance upon one, but seldom deliberately go to one :P Funny because I do deliberately look for one whenever I travel - thought it's such a nice reflection of the culture, local brands/products!

Went to the Paddington Market in April when I was in Sydney. Check out my press at http://ilovelongvacation.wordpress.com :)

PS: Was in Bintan for the weekend so I am feeling well and rested! :) How did you spend yours?

Food@Marina Bay Link Mall

Here's a peek at the food I had at Marina Bay Link Mall in August :)



Big Breakfast lunch at Cedele. Not as deli as the weekend brunches but definitely value for money. Thanks to DBS Indulge, it was one-for-one  so we paid about $7 each!

 

Went to Din Tai Fung for dinner before Phantom of the Opera. Delicious pork dumplings (top) and pork + vegetable dumplings (bottom). Had the latter for the first time and I think it tasted healthier. Haha. Yummy dumplings! Looking forward to Taiwan trip in November where I planned to try some dumplings shops! :)

Beautiful MBS at night. Not edible but still looks mouth-watering. LOL.

At the Tuck Shop! Ice Lemon Tea has been a while....
 

Chicken Hor Fun at Tuck Shop. Small. But looks good. LOL.

 

Last but not least, Earl Grey Tiramisu from Glaze. Delightfully received by the birthday girl and family. Happy 18, SS! :)

Happy Weekend! May you have a FULLfilling one :)

Malacca

 

Been to Malacca thrice - twice for department trips. Guess the proximity of Malacca from Singapore makes for a good (but exhausting) one day trip.

Always new things to discover - didn't remember Hard Rock Café when I was at Jonker Street 2 years back and it seems like there are more cafes sprouting up in the area. So I might just make a trip there again this year (and perhaps include Port Dickson as part of the itinerary) since I have leave to clear :) We'll see...

 Jonker Street - Jonker 88

 

 

Realised that Jonker Street in the day is a bit different than night. We tried the Chendol and Laksa at Jonker 88 which is quite famous. There are other local food to try too but we were full. LOL.

Yummy Chendol - we tried three types! :)

And Gula Melaka goodness in all three!

Always like the shop houses in Jonker Street. Let's feast in the courtyard!

Laksa - a mixture of coconut and Assam. It's nice but the concoction might be a bit powerful for weak stomachs...

City Square, Johor Bahru

 

And yes, we visited City Square again! And had the Taiwanese food again at Taiwan Nostalgia Café!

 

 

 

From top left/clockwise: Oyster Mee Sua, San Bei Chicken, Fruit/Flower tea...

 

 And dinner at Old Town White Coffee before we headed back to Singapore.

 

 

Didn't knew there is a tea-time set that you can order - comprises of a smaller portion of the main course and a drink. Value for money, I say!

 



New addition to City Square. Food court with interesting designs :)



And many new cafes too - always reasons to cross the causeway, I guess :)
