Yesterday, our colleague drove us to Clementi Town Centre because he needed to do run some errands at the Post Office.
Wondering what to eat, we finally ended at the Varinice food court beside Clementi Fairprice A. (There are two Fairprice in Clementi, thus they call it A and B)
Remember when there was a time, Ke Ai Ji was everyone's favourite? Due to a million kinds of excuses, they raised their prices so so so many times, many of us just decided to give it a miss. Their standard also dropped. (I am sure many of you agree right?)
Few weeks ago, sis tried it again and said, ey, they have repented. The food's not that bad anymore. lol...
Since we are sitting at this coffee shop, I decided to give it a try.
It tasted better than what I remembered the last time I had it. I remember it being so bloody that I gave up on it. This time it is not bad lah... (or is it because I have not had it for a long time?)
The chilli is nice though. ;-)
Price of 1/2 chicken is now $4.50

Thai Express @ Holland Village
One of our colleague got her 'Orange Card' from Thai Express and proudly proclaimed: "let's go there to have lunch". So, off we went to Thai Express at Holland Village.
We ordered a few things to share. 3 starters to start our appetite going...
The prawn toast. We always liked it though it's a little oily. :-)
This is a free dish. (I think, courtesy of colleague's Orange Card.) Pineapple Salad that's quite refreshing. You see more cucumber and tomatoes than pineapple right? Haha..
This is something I have not tried. Fried Calamari with salted eggs sauce.
The combination's not bad at all. "Old Cat" obviously love it a lot, that he's picking up all the salted eggs. :-)
One 'O card' colleague had the Green Curry Vegetable with rice. This is all vegetables and no meat in it.
"Old Cat" decided to have tomyam noodles to give him a 'shock' in his head. When his dish came, he said: "Oh so mild." But... don't be deceived. It's quite potent!
Dpuk and I, we knew that this was the potent dish. (Yellow Ginger Chicken) But still, we wanted to be suicidal. We ordered it and as usual, the person taking our order warned us that it's super spicy. We said yes, bring it on!
The last time we tried it, dpuk 'tak ada rasa' (did not feel the spiciness) about it. But this time, you could see that the nerves of his tongue functioning normally. Our tongue's crying for help!
(You all should try this if you think you can take very spicy food. haha...)
Oh, when we ordered, we asked that by using the coupons that has given us discount (and also a free starter), if we pay using a DBS card, do we still get the free dessert? They said yes! So we got this tapioca dessert FOC.
(One thing about Thai Express we realised is that they are not so 'ngiau' like some places. They seem to be genuine with their offers. I hope this don't stop.)
Oh, it's Ms Orange Card's birthday month, so she got a bottle of wine to bring home too. Not bad eh.. She treated us this time. She said to give her a big meal on the real birthday date.
(We jokingly asked her, is this her month long Royal Princess celebration? It's only the start of the month, and her birthday's not so soon. haha....)

Happy Wanton Noodle @ Bukit Timah Food Centre
I was deciding to skip dinner tonight because I am not really hungry. Sis texted to say that she's at Bukit Timah Food Centre, and I can join her there. So I detoured a bit and met her there.
Walking around to look for something quick and easy, I had a 'Happy Meal', not from Mcdonald's but from the food centre.
Wanton Noodles from a stall called Happy Wanton Noodle. Hey, this stall's really really popular. The queue's always very long. But at around 7:15 pm, there's no queue at all. ;-)
The wanton and the soup. The soup's saltish and sweetish. Nice for a few mouths, but not the whole bowl. ;-)
The wanton noodle is surprisingly quite springy and delicious. I am not a big fan of wanton noodles, but I think this one's quite nice.
$3 for the above. Much cheaper than the Happy Meal from the two Mcdonald's that around 200 metres away from this food centre. But you don't get any toy here though. LOL...
Pardon the dark blur photos. If you know this food centre, there's not much light!
