Today, I have decided trying out lunch at this popular and famous food court in the middle of the business centre at Robinson Street. Well... Nothing really caught my eyes. The food court was big and circular; you got all types of Southeast Asian food: Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, Indonesian. Chinese desserts, freshly squeezed juice, etc.... Basically the place was a gathering of multi-ethnic hawkers. I finally settled with a set lunch for S$5.00. From the picture, I was suppose to get this big plate of nice veggie, a plate of boiled Hainan chicken and a plate of rice cooked with the juice from the chicken. For S$5.00, wow. Why not. Hee hee... Not what it advertised. I got one place with veggie and chicken meat, each occupied half a plate. The chicken was a very thinly sliced breast meat and then chopped in strips. The veggie was of some interesting mashed up. And then, a plate of rice. Maybe I was hungry after my workout, I polished it in record time. The portion was small. It could have been Brent's appetizer dishes. I was not satisfied after this S$5.00 lunch. O well... So, on my way home I supplemented the lunch with some rolls. Cake that was. I felt full after that. A total of S$8.50. I could have done what I had been doing for the last two days; head down next block and had a sandwich - a nice juicy beef burger on toasted sour dough. But that was just too much food, I wouldn't need to have supper after that. The sandwich even though not big but loaded. And that would have costed me close to S$20.00.
O yeah, I use the toilet before my lunch today at that hawker gather place. Had to pay a toll; S$0.20. Go figure.
On the way back to the hotel, I keep wondering how scary it is that I know this place more and more. Not needing a map in some areas now. Yikes. And on the way flying down here to Singapore, while I was on the plane in Shanghai, I forgot what country I was in. :-P
