Bee Guan Coffee Shop Orange Peel Sour Plum Drink

Image
Bee Guan's orange peel with sour plum is a very refreshing drink. Mrupupup went to this stall named Bee Guan coffee stall at Whampoa Market # 01-23 two times to try out this drink. Mrupupup's verdict - best drink in Singapore on a hot day! The drink was very nice and pretty cheap at $1.50 with a large amounts of orange peel and came in two cups of cold water. Great value for money and fantastic on a hot day in Singapore! Oh, the uncle that sells the drink is quite a generous man. Just have a chat with him and he would tell you many stories of people ordering his orange peel drink. He would also top up your drink for free with more cold water if you need. See the large amounts of orange peel on top of the sour plum drink   Uncle preparing the drink    

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

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).

Sushi Express at Citylink

Image
Mrupupup first time tried out Sushi Express (food chain originated from Taiwan) located at Citylink Mall (#B1-23 - near to adidas sports store), Singapore. Why first time? Because the queue is very long! That friday evening- Mrupupup got to brave the queue for 45 minutes and find out why the place was so popular. Mrupupup could find two reasons for Sushi Express's popularity - cheap and decent sushi & sashimi. Where to find in Singapore $1.50 plates for all Japanese conveyor belt food?  Sushi Express had salmon sashimi, sushi of various types and many more..... All the dishes at $1.50 per plate (excluding service charges). Mrupupup just ate about 15 plates of sushi express! Too much salmon in Mrupupup's belly, burp! Nice prawn sashimi - quite sweet & fresh All Sushi at $1.50 Conveyor belt sushi Look at the pinkish fresh salmon Rows of salmon sushi - fresh on the conveyor belt Full house @ Sushi Express

Hifumi Japanese Restaurant

Image
HiFuMi Japanese Restaurant served up pretty nice Japanese food. The food at Hifumi reminded of Mrupupup's time in Japan. Hifumi's salad bar free flow of dishes served was uniquely Japanese like their potato salad, rice crackers, sweet desserts, bean curd and etc . Mrupupup ordered their salmon and teriyaki chicken sets which came with rice and soup. Mrupupup was more attracted to the free flow salad bar and was tucking into too many cups of chawamushi (steamed eggs in a cup). Very nice and per person about $15. Hifumi is located at Plaza Singapore #04-68 (at near Dhoby Ghaut station) - Orchard Road. Warning- Mrupupup ate too much food in Hifumi! Really felt like a 'value for money' buffet. Arhhhhh... the sweet potato sticks in the salad bar was just so nice!
