Weekend 1 in SG

Short early morning trip to CSC for the Sunday flea market....it's been a long time I've been there and it's certainly great that there's even more Transformers products on the market now..and for even cheaper prices (some even go for less than half of that found in retail stores!) Not only that, I met Edwin there, a long lost army camp-mate in 30 SIB. Well...actually I did not know him that well cos I was ORDing when he first came in but he provided a very informative yet bleak outlook on my future and upcoming NSman days. Apparently the new brigade commanders and S-es are super "on" people, which means tough days for future ICTs and also means sai kang for men and specs like me.....sighz....watever happened to good ol' 30 SIB?

Afternoon was spent with Kinwee shopping around Orchard for polo-tshirts.....Orchard Road feels the same...it's like every city has this main shopping street area that every tourism board would like to tout after running arnd so many cities...S'pore is no exception....

Highlight was more of the dinner in the evening, where we went to this place called Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar at Raffles City. It's a very Japanese Marche concept where you are given this card and then go about to the various stores to pick your food and paying at the end of it. Variety was ok but of cos a tad bit expensive. Shared sashimi with Kinwee as it's something we all missed overseas. Had my fill of Bamboo BBQ Eel Rice which I thought was yummy and the pricing was just right. Paired it with other stuff like the ebi yakitori, prawn with bacon and scallop on the skewer to finish up my main course. Desert was nicely round up with us taking up all the different kinds available. I had the one that resembled ice kachang but filled with red beans, green tea paste and green tea ice cream, Kinwee took the Matcha float with green tea ice-cream, Kendrick had Red Bean and Mochi with even more green tea ice cream and Tony took the mango ice kachang one.....which I personally found the best out of the 4.
