In the spirit of the up-coming Chinese new Year, Mrupupup visited the Le Café at Blk 42 Cambridge Road. Le Café also have outlets at Blk 637 Veerasamy Road and 264 Middle Road. Wow, the golf ball size pineapple tarts was simply big and very nice. Mrupupup tried one pineapple tart and it was so filling that mrupupup had no much appetite for other snacks. The pineapple tart was huge, flavourful, yummy and totally enjoyable. Mrupupup say go try the pineapple tarts and each box varies from $18 to $21 (for ten big tarts) depending on when you buy the tarts, as closer to Chinese New Year date would mean an increase in price. Slowly enjoying the golf ball pineapple tart while writing this blog post. So very good!     The shops also sells other traditional cookies      

Once in a while, Mrupupup would like to sit down in a Chinese restaurant and eat. Mrupupup tried out the Crystal Jade Kitchen at Parkway Parade shopping mall at Marine Parade. Mrupupup had the tender steamed chicken, special simmering soup noodles and pomelo drink.   The chicken dish was very good. The meat was tender and marinade with a special sauce. Mrupupup ordered the very last chicken for the day. Lucky Mrupupup. Price $14.50 per steamed chicken       Special simmering noodles soup with seafood, large prawns and char siew meat. The noodles was in a soup bowl of shark fin's soup (without shark fin). The soup got other ingredients like fish, squid, char siew and mushroom. Totally enjoyable and a special taste to Mrupupup. Noodles soup costs $12.80.         All the food was paired up with a good glass of refreshing pomelo drink. Take note the drink is sour and sweet. Pomelo drink was also a good detoxing agent. Very nice at $1.50 per glass.   Ok, M

Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah 龍發豆沙饼  at 639 Balestier Road serves up one of the best Tau Sar Piah (Chinese biscuits) according to Mrupupup. As one would know, Balestier Road has so many stores selling Tau Sar Piah, Mrupupup figured it out today that the one at Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah served up the best Tau Sar Piah. Tau Sar Piah is a bean paste biscuit. Mrupupup tried the Tau Sar Piah and found it delicious, especially with a good cup of coffee! The older generation of Singapore loved eating Tau Sar Piah with coffee. Tau Sar Piah came in sweet or salty version and costs 60 cents each. The crust of the Tau Sar Piah was buttery and with the bean paste the biscuit was yummy! Haha, Mrupupup felt happy eating Tau Sar Piah. Take note that Loong Fatt is also a old style coffee shop that sells lunch and all sorts of biscuits & cakes. One can just hang out at this place and feel the old style 70s of Singapore.     Tau Sar Piah !!!    

From Admiralty Park, Woodlands Waterfront was a short walk for a quick visit. This waterfront area consists of one long jetty which stretches out to the sea. Opposite Woodlands Waterfront is the Johor Bahru Malaysia. The jetty is a long stretch with many people out fishing. Take a stroll along the Woodlands Waterfront can be quite a relaxing event. Enjoy the sea breeze and the view of Johor Bahru Malaysia Singapore's northern point park - Woodlands Waterfront is a very nice place to chill and relax              

Admiralty Park is a very quiet park located at the northern part of Singapore and just next to Republic Polytechnic. The park has two sides to it: urban park with bicycle path & small river (gravel) and forest park area. Mrupupup felt that this park is a bit too neat and not 'wild' enough (not many creatures/birds to see).  However, the park is a good place to take skyline photos - very blue skies. Check out the photos of the blue skies of Singapore at Admiralty Park.            

Mrupupup had great fun attending the Countdown Party at Marina Bay Area Singapore. Countdown TV50 concert was held to celebrate TV's 50 years of Singapore Television. Mrupupup enjoyed the concert with special TV actors like Phua Chua Kang, Cast from City Beat, Under one Roof and great boy band "the Wanted" from United Kingdom and of course Superstar Mr Wang Lee Hom (the most popular singer that night)! Mediacorp held the 5 hour showcase of TV 'live' celebrations, going through the best moments of television in Singapore. Great event, Mediacorp! The Countdown TV50 at the Marina Bay platform also showcased the most exciting fireworks Mrupupup had seen in Singapore - very nice and visually stunning fireworks matched with nice background music. Mrupupup took photos of the fireworks and the ever colourful 'wishing' balls in the Marina Bay area. Nice pictures and video below. Mrupupup wants to thank URA for sponsoring the Countdown TV50 concert tickets! H

The first Purple Parade in Singapore was held at Hong Lim Park on 30 November 2013 to show support for people with disabilities. Super meaningful event with many charity organisations in Singapore coming together. It was raining heavily too on the Purple Parade! Take a look at the pictures of the Purple Parade below for the memories and historical record. Thank you for the Purple Parade celebration.
