Tom's Citizoom Fishball Noodle Lengkok Bahru

Image
Mrupupup discovered at Blk 57 Lengkok Bahru there is a very nice fishball noodle stall - Tom's Citizoom's fishball noodles. This fishball noodle stall attracted a very long queue. Think Mrupupup waited for at least half an hour during lunch time. Well, at $2.50 per bowl for their Mee Pok dry fishball noodle, it was pretty cheap and good!    The Mee Pok noodle was special because the stall owner fries fish cakes fresh and cuts them into slices just before he serves the Mee Pok noodle  The fish cakes were handmade, eaten hot and the fish cakes were oozing with juices and bouncy. The Mee Pok had a springy texture which was delicious! Oh, one more thing, the fish balls were also handmade and could tell that it was made with fish paste. The stall owner also sprinkled crumbled fish crackers on top of the noodles which made it an interesting crispy blend of noodles. Also do try the fried wantons ($3) which were a good compliment to the noodles! Pretty cheap and good meal! Do

Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival at Gardens by the Bay

Mrupupup went to the Gardens by the Bay Singapore to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Gardens by the Bay was beautifully adorned with many types of Chinese lanterns and was very impressed with the large lantern of a Dinosaur! The Mid-Autumn Festival transformed Gardens by the Bay into a magical display of light and colour and enchanting displays of blossoming flowers! Go the Flower Dome which features large Dragon Fly lanterns perched amidst a field of vibrant flora. In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gardens by the Bay will have an extension of operating hours and 15% discount on admission tickets to the conservatories from 13 to 22 September 2013. Also keep a look out for the colourful stalls selling many products like lanterns, food, Chinese paintings and various handicraft at the Meadow area.Watch out for the large Dinosaur Lanterns! The dinosaurs are roaming there!                     Loved the dinosaur lantern!

Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill Location: Marina Square, 6 Raffles Boulevard #01-204/205 About this Restaurant: Created in Paris in 1968 (France), the Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill is known for their meats (Tres Bien!) especially in the Paris region, with the widest selections of meat cuts. Prices: Range beef cuts like skirt cut of about $19 to high end range of beef steaks of $100 and alos got burgers, desserts and drinks Mrupupup had Hanger Steak ($20 estimate) and their BBQ ribs ($20 estimate). The beef steak was very juicy, tender and some blood still oozing out (order medium done). The ribs was very nice and ask for extra BBQ sauce. Eatery's selling point is its wide range of beef cuts at affordable prices. Because the restaurant is located along a rather quiet stretch on the ground floor of Marina Square Shopping Mall, it offers an "al fresco" dining area alongside the pedestrian walkway as well as seating in the inner chambers which offer more privacy.

Really all 15,000 people were cheering and having a great time to the music played at MTV World Stage (watch the videos below).

Teo Heng KTV Karaoke Studio - value for money

Image
Teo Heng KTV Karaoke  studio is a 'value for money' place for karaoke singing sessions. Do go there because Mrupupup paid only $4.50 for a three hour singing session with 8 people. Really cheap. While the system is not very advanced and the room is simple, the great music makes up for everything. Mrupupup spent 3 hours at the outlet at Buona Vista (NTU alumni club - level 8) with my friends so it's really nice that they have cheap standard drinks and a nicely cold room, with music of your choice.  Scrape kbox and party world, Teo Heng is the place to be. Another good thing about the venue was that they do not charge you extras for tidbits and compulsory drinks on the menu like other places. You can buy a can of drink from the counter from as low as $1 and you can even bring in your own food. Mrupupup's only irk is that their location could have been a bit more accessible than NTU alumni club in Buona Vista (11 Slim Barracks Rise - near to Buona Vista MRT Station).

Sims Place Prawn Noodle

Image
Mrupupup ordered a bowl of Pork Ribs Prawns Bee Hoon Mee dry version at Sims Place Prawn Noodle stall located at Bendemeer Hawker Centre (Blk 29 Bendmeer Road #01-39). The Pork Ribs Prawn Bee Hoon Mee dry was great and the pork ribs were cooked till nice and tender. However, the prawns were a bit small in size. The accompanying soup was rich and tasty and came with the natural taste from the prawns shells and pork ribs. The fried spring onions and lard was added into the noodles to make it even more fragrant. The prawn soup came with a generous portion of bean sprouts! Hope you like bean sprouts! The Price Reasonably priced at $4 for Mrupupup's portion - servings think could be bigger. Overall Mrupupup would like to try this stall again but there is a queue! Do prepare to wait at least 20mins in the queue.
