Went to JB for a quick shopping trip with Esther! A week or two ago, I'd told her about some nice stuff I'd saw at City Square and she agreed to accompany me on a second trip. It feels so good to grab a passport and get out of Singapore, even if it's just traveling to Malaysia. I'm addicted to the kind of freedom that comes with traveling.
The checkpoint officer was, like, "Hello. Going where?" with a smile. I replied, " Shopping!" with a smile, took my passport, thanked him and walked off to start my shopping trip. The older I get, the more strangers—of various ages and backgrounds—like to make small talk with me or tell me their life story. It's fun talking to strangers, though. To think many years ago when we were kids, adults were always telling us not to talk to strangers. Hahaha!
Had to get our stomachs filled up before we begin shopping. Just had to dine at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng. In my humble opinion, I think this HK cafe outlet beats all other HK cafes in Singapore. The waiters and waitresses were prompt and friendly, and the menu leaves one spoilt for choice.
I ordered a 四君子, which translates to 'Four Gentlemen' while Esther had a cup of warm almond drink. Their desserts have very interesting names and it always make me want to try them! I ordered mine because I knew the drink contains yam milkshake and flavoured puddings, and I love those! The almond drink was amazing too. It was sweet, fragrant and thick. If only almond drinks were more common in Singapore. It's one of my favourites.
Forgot what Esther's order was called, but it's a cross between an omelette and chee cheong fun. Ah, it was fried so nicely. Somehow, I always end up ordering cheese-baked rice at HK cafes. There were five types of sauce to choose from and I asked for the salsa one. It didn't turn out as spicy as expected, kinda mild.
I had a fruitful shopping trip. I got a dress and 4 tops for less than SGD$90. Yay! Now tell me where to find such low-priced, good quality and classy clothes in Singapore! Hah! >:D
