Noodle

My second lunch. I had one at 11:50am after my workout. 6.50SGD. A plate of coconut rice, a drum-stick, a fish stick and some green beans. Guess not enough. I walk through Suntec City Mall to my other old stomping ground to get a bowl of Vietnamese noodle. Here it is. This one costed more. A set lunch for 13.40 SGD. I got two fresh rolls, a drip coffee and this bowl of beef noodle. Yummy.

I walked through Suntec City Mall. Shocked that there were empty shops and empty carts not being rented out. There are more and more new malls being developed here. I am not surprise to see this is happening. How many more new malls can $ing@pore have? There is a limited demand here despite tourist. Not a good sign. We walked down another street and 1/2 a block was empty with garbage littered at a corner. Not like the $ing@pore we accustomed to.

Things seem to be expensive here. The gov't is doing a price control at Hawker centers. Trying to get hawker stall owners to keep their food price at around 2SGD per plate. I can get use to that. 3 weeks ago, my cost of living expense was low in Singapore for the weekend. This weekend so far I had exchanged 400USD and counting! That was just eating with odds and ends. 3 weeks ago, hawker center was our friends. Cheap food. And the supermarket was just next door to the hotel for some good discount fresh fruits.

Speaking of Hawker Centres, the gov't here is promoting healthy eating. At no extra charge, customers in Hawker Centres have a choice of eating with brown rice and use non-saturated fat oil for cooking. Bonus!
