Of Places and Things
I was staying in Copthorne Kings Hotel when I was in Singapore and it was just right across River View Hotel; the balcony is not big I mean it could accommodate just about 2 persons standing right beside each other and I wasn’t all that pleased by the bougainvilleas surrounding it but the view across; of the golf course below and of the street in general is pretty nice.
Chinatown Food Strip
This is street is named Smith Street on Chinatown where all the good food is being sold, which also houses my favorite restaurant in Singapore, Da Dong by Fatty Weng. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of their dishes and ever since I arrived in Singapore I have neeb dining there.
Food favorites from Fatty Weng:
- Yangtzou Fried Rice [sadly w/o the shrimp as am allergic]
- Sweet and sour pork with pineapples
- Sweet and sour fish fillet
- Stir fried beef with vegetables
- Chicken and corn soup
- Crispy Chicken in lemon sauce
Normally when my aunt and I dine there we’d have medium size of the dishes which is really good for 2 to 3 persons; so say 1 medium size sweet and sour pork with pineapples, 1 medium size crispy chicken in lemon sauce and 1 medium size rice and it’d cost less than 100 SGD.
We both love to eat good food and we are not hesitant to pay good money for it.
