On Friday I got up when Andrew was getting home from work. He brought a chili crab puff for breakfast. Some of the bakeries and takeaway food options here are just really good.
Andrew has the NFL Sunday Ticket package here, so I watched the Thursday nighter while catching up on my blog and sending some emails. I left his place around 2:00 and headed to a small place at the end of the street to try some Bah Kut Teh; a pork rib soup.
The soup was a little bit spicy and tasted quite good. From there I grabbed a cab over to Arab Street. Arab Street is right at the Sultan Mosque and is a hotbed for shisha bars, fabric stores, carpet stores, and fishing tackle shops.
As soon as I got out of the cab, it just started pouring rain. I hid out under the awnings and walked from shop to shop checking out what was there. The fabric stores were quite amazing to see.
Talking with some of the shop owners, there were carpets and fabrics from Iran, Turkey, India, Egypt, China, and Pakistan. After some shopping, I walked down to the MRT and took it during rush hour back up to Andrew’s. In the mall by the MRT station nearest to Andrew’s place, they have set up a little ice rink for the holidays. It doesn’t matter where you are, little kids all try to learn to skate the same way, by walking on their skates. That being said, all the kids on the rink were trying to skate that way.
After getting home and taking a nap, we both got up and wandered over to the restaurant at the Quality Inn Hotel, for dinner. They have the best Laksa in the neighbourhood and I was out to give it a try.
Laska is a perankan dish that is a coconut curry soup that has noodles and seafood in it. It was alright, not quite my favourite. The biggest issue was the size of the dish, I only got through about half.
After that we headed back to Andrew’s and had a quiet night in watching some TV and chatting with people back home.
