Wonderful Weekend with lots of Food!

This weekend was wonderful..... esp sat, went to the library book fair at expo with bangzhi and had a very satisfying dinner in the east, at 2 different hawker centres.

First we went to the hawker centre near bedok camp, i dunno the road name there, maybe some one can help me out here. I know that the Cheng Teng there is very good, so i went queueing for it, but when it's my turn, they told me only longan and winter melon left, haii....bo bian lor. we also queued for the famous fried hokkien mee...it's was very good!! (No photos cos i left the camera in the car).. but after that both of us were not full, so we decided to proceed to the hawker centre at bedok interchange.

We had mutton soup and zhui guey (from 2 different stalls, "Bedok" and "Tiong Bahru") i personally prefer the Bedok one. the mutton soup was cheap and good too!!! ... then we went for dessert, there's this interesting stall (Xue Hua Fei) that sells watermelon ice in JUMBO size!!! it was too big for the 2 of us, so we did not order. we just ordered normal desert.The photo above looks quite ugly but it's already the best one i have of the stall front, the florescent lights are very bright and there are other parts that are poorly lit, i really dunno how i can make the photo be of less contrast... Pros, HELP!! ..

The uncle even made 2 smiling faces with the watermelon skin and hang it outside the stall.

The serving on the desert was HUGE!! Look at the amount of sea coconut he gave us, i think the uncle dun really earn much.

Can you believe that this watermelon desert with fruits presented so beautifully costs only $2... btw, i dunno this person the the picture, we shared table and i ask him if i can take a photo of his dessert.... haha

I was at shaw towers on sunday having some meeting and then when it comes to dinner time, i suddenly remembered that i really liked the prata at suntec, it WAS the best prata i ever tasted, crispy and flakey on the outside and the inside is soft and chewy..... But sadly, the usual indian uncle that was always there was not the chef on sunday, and the standard was really bad. I wonder if the indian uncle still works there or has he opened his own stall somewhere else

Prata was just appetiser, initially wanted to eat KFC, but cheesing never tried Carl's Jr, so we went there for their giant burgers and free flow drinks
