Aspirasi Food Galore - Hawker Singapore

ABBEY: Aha! This is my favorite chicken rice when our office is still located at Harbourfront. Ito yung chicken rice na hindi tinitipid. Price varies from S$3 to S$6. I like the plain one. May parang kung anong hinalo sa rice. Kasi hindi siya yung itsura ng typical na white rice. Parang may oil na at spices na hinahalo habang sinasaing. The portion of chicken is large enough to satisfy my hunger. It also comes with a soup. The twist in this chicken rice is that pwede ka ring maglagay ng crumbs nung pinag-prituhan ng manok. Hehehe. Welcome cholesterol. Hindi naman araw-araw. Pero nandun ako sa hawker na yun, chicken rice talaga ang order ko. Kaya pag ako na ang o-order, tinatanong ako ng Malaysian staff nila "Anong order mo?" O diba, suki na :)

They live to their tagline "We have no air condition but we are proud of it" I don't know kung proud sila na walang aircon or dahil sa masarap ang chicken rice nila. Sa sobrang sarap, ang haba ng pila sa pwesto nila every lunch and dinner.

I'll definitely recommend this one. 


WILL: Who can say that foods in hawkers is not that tasty with fancy restaurants?
      
I do not know if what is in their crumbs, but I think it is toasted with a butter.. very tasty. Pwede ng ulam ang crumbs.
      
They were located at Harbourfront. The above picture costs S$3.00. Chicken, one cup of rice, soup, cucumber and crumbs. 
      
Very good to have this kind of meal for a cheap price. :)

MRT Purple Line ( North - East ) Singapore

Abbey:
This is my line simula pagdating ko ng Singapore. My employer provided my first week of stay sa isang hotel near Farrer Station. Then 3 days after, I found a room in Sengkang. When my housemates' HDB contract ended, we moved to Punggol which we are residing currently. Our house is a 15-minute from Punggol MRT station. Kaya talagang may excersise ako before and after work.


I can say na ito yung 2nd sa pinakamabangong MRT line. Huwag ka nga lang may makakasabay na may anghit :) It only cost S$1.86 for the whole line fare. All stations of the line are underground. Pero hindi naman nakakabore yung byahe, kasi may mga ads in LCD screens, sa tunnel ng mga stations and even sa windows.





Will: Well, I didn't much appreciate their train on the first time when I took my ride in it, I have a stopover here in Singapore. It was the Green Line. But when Abbey moved in to Punggol, I was astounded to see the Punggol terminal station. I can compare it on Philippine's international airport. 


There is seat for elderly and disabled that they always sure to leave it vacant. People are very courteous. They respect each other's right of way. Very safe. They keep on reminding the public that the safety and cleanliness lies on the hands of people riding it, which is very true! So nice trains!

The Town

ABBEY:
We watched the movie in GVmax, the THx cinema of SG :) The movie was based on a true story. It was a story of a group of robbers. They carefully plan their execution: complete blueprints, props, weapons, get-away vehicles and confidence that they can get away with it. As usual in a group, there would be someone who will cross the line on the group's rule. Then the conflict arises. One will rebel, one will keep secrets, one will try to live a normal life. But for every action, there will an equal and opposite reaction. As they rob people, gradually, respect and dignity were taken from them.
Di ko alam kung nasobrahan lang ako sa kape, pero kakabahan ka talaga at mag-aabang kung kelan sila mahuhuli ng pulis. All in all maganda yung movie. Hindi masasayang 10sgd mo :)






WILL: Like Filipino movies, being a robber was inherited. Like father like son. And like other stories, the bad guy (lead actor) will meet a woman in one of their plotted robbery and they will start to date each other, fell in love, but the twist..they don't live happily together. 
      Suspense, and yet, the story is very usual.
