Coney Island Park - Parks & Nature Reserves

ABBEY: We set out Coney Island tour on a Saturday after Wilma's office. So we headed to Punggol Bus Interchange, took Bus 84 and alighted at Punggol Road End. You will know that it is time to alight as most of the passengers will do the same :) 

We rented 2 bikes from Go Cycling at 8SGD per hour for 2 hours. The third hour is free. But there are other shops for bike rent. Biking at moderate speed and following the main path, you can cover the 2.4km-island end to end within less than an hour. 

Going back, we did our sightseeing; their beaches, boardwalk, and the serene and quiet surroundings. Unfortunately, we didn't catch a sight of the brown cow only snake, lizard, and turtles. We're not able to dine as well to eat white bee hoon. The queue is so looooooong. It was fun; I'm able to ride a bike again and breathe fresh air.


Coney Island Entrance Gate
WILL: Coney Island opened its gate to public since last year and I am apologising for not  checking it out sooner than usual. Hahaha. This is an island just off the tip of Punggol area. 

So what can you expect while roaming this island? Well, I am recommending for you to bring your own bike or rent one for $8/hour. The nest time go in there is 4pm, the sun is not that hot because of the shades that were provided by the trees. 

You might see a cow, monkeys, lizards or just like me, I saw a snake (arggh). In my estimation, that is a three-foot snake. Yikes! 

You can check out their boardwalks and beaches. Well, after I saw a snake, we went straight home and never visited what is up for any turns. Hehe. 

Cycling is a good exercise for our heart. If you love nature and like to see new parks of Singapore, go in here, you will not regret to see a fabulous scenery.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh (The Centrepoint Branch)

ABBEY: After a great workout in Bounce we replenish our energy with bah kut teh. We dined at Song Fa Bah Kut Teh (The Centrepoint). 

I got big serving of pork ribs. I ignored the pork as I enjoyed sipping the peppery hot soup. I think I had 5-6 bowls of soup and then I indulge in the tender meat and youtiao dipped in sweet soy sauce. 

It was delicious and refreshing. Special commendation to Irene for keeping the soup flowing.

WILL: I am wanting for so long to dine in here and I got a chance to taste those famous bak ku teh when I attended Peng Joon's III last January. But Abbey is not with me back then, so no review about it was published. 

We planned to dine at a burger stand, but because of tiredness we felt after our trampoline madness at Bounce, we decided to get some hot soup. 

We headed at The Centrepoint, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh's newest branch. 

Our visitor from Middle East was astounded on the soup. We all liked that peppery and tender pork meat. Dipped that into a thick soy sauce! Yum,yum,yum,yum! Oh! Don't forget to soak the dough fritters at the soup before eating! 

Happy dining guys!

Wing Zone Singapore - Buangkok Branch

ABBEY: Wing Zone announced that they holding their 5 cent chicken wing promo. We went to their Buangkok branch July 6 (Hari Raya Puasa) and we're first in the queue :) Opening is at 11AM but got delayed for 10mins. 

Instead of picking up my order at the counter, the staff went an extra mile to deliver it to our table. Our table is the one nearest to the counter. Maybe that's the reason, but still kudos to the staff. 

I had five Honey Q chicken wings, a cup of rice and drinks. I enjoyed the sweet flavor and the nasi lemak flavored rice. The sauce covered the chicken well as well as my fingers :) I hope next time it can be taken away not only for dine in.

Tokyo Dragon Flavor
WILL: I am always delighted whenever a non-working holiday hits the calendar but I am happier when Abbey took a leave just to be with me on those days. 

Wingzone still run their promotion even it is holiday last July 6 (Hari Raya Puasa). They still offer Wings @ 50cents. As early as 10:30, we are already there to prevent any queue. The staff arrived at 11am and they opened their doors 30 minutes later than usual. 

Abbey is first in line and I want to taste the Tokyo Dragon wings for myself. It is not that spicy and the flavor of their rice is more prominent than the chicken. Their wings have blood issues too. Hehe. 

Anyways, I enjoyed seeing my husband eating all my leftovers.
