A walk through the city.

Here I am in the city. This is the place I visit annually before Chinese New Year to get 'dried' stuff like scallops, sea cucumber, abalone ..... gifts for the mother in law.

We are here today to get our watches batteries fixed. The shop is at The Bencoolen - Win @ ground floor. This outlet is always packed cos his prices are reasonable.

Got our watches fixed at a really good price and took a stroll through Bugis Street. Stopped by a kiosk for a crunchy peanut cake and saw this lovely bread kiosk, it was so crowded.

Wow, a sex kiosk! No, there were two right smack in a young hip oasis. How the world has changed.

We got out of Bugis Street into Parco Bugis Junction to cool down and destress after the squeeze at Bugis Street. Got myself two DVDs - Elton John and Arista's 25 years concert. Arista changed the music industry bring in stars like W Houston, D Warwick, Kenny G and many more.

Refreshed, we walked over to Liang Seah Street and found a little Korean restaurant and decided to get a soup - Korean Chicken Ginseng soup. Ning and I loved soup and this brought back memories of our Korean trip twelve years ago. I hope I got the year right. We had this wonderful soup in Korean, the real stuff - lots of ginseng brewed with a young chick stuff with sticky rice. The version here is no where near the one we had but it was a refreshing soul food.

Liang Seah Road had so many eateries and should be rename as Hot Pot Street. It had lots of steam boat outlets, all serving buffet style. Turn right into Beach Road and there are two large outlets.

Yum Yum.
