JUst eat Singapore : Siam Kitchen (Thai food) at nex


Ordered Tom Yam soup.
Yes, the bowl is half full...few seafood and mushroom inside.

Soft shell crab and curry. 

Chicken

The food serving is not little but is not a lot either.
The food is consider good especially the chicken. Tender and flavoured
However, the service is not really up to standard.
Firstly, they serve us a bowl of rice and the tom yam soup after a 15 minute wait. 
We waited another 15 minutes but none of the food came. 
The soup turned cold and the rice became hard, we feedbacked to the manager and after another 10 minute.
we were ok waiting for our food, serving us partial of the food and leaving us there for another 10 minutes while the food turned cold is not really desirable.
They serve us our food and replace our soup.
Weirdly, the soup was hotter than when it was served for the first time.
I notice someone who placed her order 5 minutes before me and she was enjoying her dinner while I was waiting for my food to arrive.
Another table, the guy finished his dinner and his friend food arrived. In between, there was like a 10 min gap?
I was bored, waiting for my food to arrive so I was being kaypoh.
Seriously, if I eating with my friend in a restaurant. I want to eat together, not I eat first and then look at my friend eat and vice versa.
The restaurant was half full only.

The operation time and price of the tram tickets.
I did not manage to take the bus as I was there quite early in the morning..
Intent to catch the sunrise but it was raining yesterday and weather reports said that there are haze.
Be prepared to walk a lot if you are not talking the tram.
My phone estimated we walked around 15km..
Good morning exercise, take a good breakfast before you start on the long walk.
Wear good walking shoes.
Recommended you to go around sunrise or sunset because I did saw some fantastic photos by other bloggers.
Enjoy the fresh air and nice scenery.






Still hazy

There is a steep and a gentle path.
We only saw the direction for the gentle path after we finish the steep path!!!






Singapore Eats : ARbite



Meetup with some ex students for brunch or maybe lunch..
was not very crowded at lunch.
I ordered the chicken, which was tender and juicy. 
My student's breakfast serving seems quite big and they did enjoy their breakfast. It was quite worth it too, at around $15.
The dessert which was mango meringue was just normal.. 

The interiors is simple and comfortable.
Good place for a good chat with friends
