Singapore eats: Next door Deli and Pine gardens
Located at Ang Mo Kio Ave 10. It is quite easy to locate the place as it is along the main road. Buses to there includes 45,88,265.
The menu is just on the wall.
Price are quite reasonable, around western food at hawker centre or coffee shop
Do take note is self service
Drinks are also quite reasonable priced.
Our drinks. Lemongrass and lemon with plum
Just normal drinks but I do like the blue tiled background
Interior is nothing to shout about but quite pleasant.
It is not as expensive as other cafe. If you are an budget, and not have high expectation on the interiors. This place is good
Grilled chicken
wok fried laska
Next door deli's food reminds me of the good school in school canteen.
Nothing fanciful but it just have a very school vibe in it.
The good is good. The chicken wing is fried to golden brown while inside is tender and juicy.
Grilled chicken cutlet is also grilled just nicely.
The most famous and interesting should be the wok fried laksa. It has a distinctively laska taste, just that it is not soupy.
I wish I choose to have cockles instead of prawns
My sister enjoyed this dish much more than me as I am not into bean sprouts so the whole thing seems bit dry for me.
My sis say the bean sprouts are nice cooked, still have the crunch so it complies the noodles. She is definitely going back for more of it.
They have some discount for students and teachers on weekdays.

SWitzerland free and easy : Things to do at Zurich Free walking tours Zurich Review
If you have only a few hours in Zurich or just intend to spend a few hours in Zurich as it is not an very interesting place. Can just the Zurich walking tour and learn something about Zurich with a free guide. Tips are encouraged, but to me is complusory. You can give according on how good you think the guide is.
There are few free ones available, ours was the downtown tour.
Meeting point. Near to credit suisee building, at UBS.
Can take the tram down
To spot the tour group, look for a person in blue
Do expect to walk and the plus is you will never be lost.
Our handsome guide explaining to us about the history and buidlings
This is not the highlight of the tour but I just find it cute to have nice seat cushion during winter
Christmas is approaching
Panorama
Singapore : Pasarbella at GRandstand
GEtting bored of Singapore and don't where to visit and have a nice meal.
Can try going to Pasarbella at the grandstand which is the turf club.
There is big farmer's market which serve lots of food and some pretty things.
However, if you expecting to shop then you will be disappointed.
There are free shuttle bus from some mrt station.
The famous Omakas burger.
We have truffle fries and crispy chicken burger but their specialty is their beef burger but I don't take beef
Good food.
We tried the biscuit ice cream, it is nice. However, they should provide a spoon as it is hard to eat as the ice cream started to melt.
The spanish seafood rice was one of the most popular dish, but my sister's friend was quite disappointed with the dish as it looks much better than it taste.
I just like the way they put the signboard and add in some descriptions
More food!! The shop at the top left sells nice cakes and you can sample too before you buy.
Desserts?
Ice cream with our favourite traditional biscuit with the little sugar puff on top
or
maroons with my melody and hello kitty design
Dutch Colony Coffee Co.
There is a cute guy selling small pancakes. The pancakes taste quite good.
But I bought the red velvet cake to try, quite disappointed with it.
Only one layer of cream cheese which is at the top and side of the cake.
The cake is dry and tasteless.
Shops which sell lovely country style, a bit floral and vintage style towels, cutlery and cups
Shops which sell interesting variety of balloons. A hair salon for kids and also aromatherapy.
They sell party stuff for kids and lovely tea sets
It is definitely worth a visit.
interesting place
They have buses from Clementi, Toa Payoh and Botanic gardens

Great place for cafe hopping.
And if you decide to start your day early, some cafes opens at 8am but not a lot
Kong Rice ball..
Some Recommend it online.
It is located near to Ewha's university.
Quite interesting but I did not find it very delicious.

How can I go without eating the street food?
Lots of liitle stall at Ewha selling street food.
These 2 are my favourite, BBQ chicken stick and this chicken cup with ricecakes, potatoes and chicken.

Another breakfast in a cafe.
The is more mainstream as this is under one of the big franchise so you can find it at a few location.
The breakfast was yummy but nothing unique.
I tried not the original restaurant, taste just as good.
You can choose half a chicken, one chicken or more.
Can choose to add rice cakes, noodles or other items.
The Koreans add the kimchi in.
It is good for people who are not into spicy food.

3. NAndaemun
Yummy Korean snacks like nuts, cuttlefish and dried fruits at namdaemun.
Can be found at the basement at one of the building selling furnishing.
They don't give discount. They like to give services, means extra small pack of mixed snacks.
Nandaemum also sell Korean street food.
But do remember to visit in the late morning or early afternoon.
Evening is not really a good time as most shop are close and the food seems to be not as fresh.

Beautiful tea museum is more of a modern tea place. It is location in a narrow alley so it is not easily location
Traditonal tea place is more of the traditional tea place with more traditional snacks. It is located on the second floor
The third is a small tea place that sells a lot of Korean snacks for take away. This is on the main street.

They also sell Korean snacks and also the most famous is a pancake that looks shit.

Place for Cafe hopping.
Good food and a nice cosy environment.
Extremely cute and delicious pastry shop at Hongdae.
Keep a lookout for it.

8. Kwang Jang Market
I like Gimbap even I don't eat vegetables.
JUst koran seaweed and seasons vegetables
For the adventurous, Korean famous pig intestines with glutinous rice and pig blood
Kimchi dumplings
Pumpkin porridge and red bean porridge
you see a lot of locals eating at the market
9.Random
8 colour flavour bbq pork
Palsaek Samgyeopsal
We ate here because it was covered by a famous Taiwanese TV show.
It seems to be opening more branches all over the world.
I am not really a big fan of this place. Firstly, the flavour is not distinctive.
Secondly, they only serve only the fatty pork which taste quite oily after a while.
The previous time I ate bbq pork was in Korea, and we order from different parts so it is not that boring.
The plus is free flow salad and a yummy pot of soup.
The famous gingseng chicken place.
The bbq chicken taste good too.
Just a note, sometimes the dish states 2 person but if you intend to save your stomach for snacks and street food. A plate of 2 can feed 3 pax quite well.
Don't worry about language barriers, sign language and simple english work well
For me, I ask the hotel people to write a note stating " I don't eat beef"
