A Week in Singapore 4

Went to the older food center instead to have breakfast. It was about 9am when I reached.

A Week in Singapore 4

Oh, beside Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple, you can find Sri Krishnan Hindu Temple as well. Most devotees who came to this area usually will pray at both temples. 🙂

In front of the Sri Krishnan Hindu Temple, there was a tentage and offers free food to the devotees who are queuing patiently for their turn to be shown their seats. Must be some festive or auspicious day!

A Week in Singapore 4

Walking around in Bugis area and saw a car with many balloons sticking out of the sunroof. Are they trying to fly? 😛

A Week in Singapore 4

Claypot Chicken Rice S$10 (for 2 person). Well, you have to fish out the chicken, Chinese sausages, vegetables from the claypot and put them on a plate. Then add dark soy sauce and oil into the claypot (both to each preferences) and mixed well. Once done, it’s ready to be served. Believe the main reason that most people separate the ingredients out is that we just want to season the white rice. 🙂

A Week in Singapore 4

Side dish to go along with Claypot Chicken Rice – Herbal Black Chicken Soup S$3.

Also ordered some healthy Stir-fried Vegetables with Oyster Sauce to go along as the vegeables that comes along with the Claypot Chicken Rice is not adequate for us.
