Gochi-So Shokudo - Iberico Pork Belly

ABBEY: After attending a talk, we had dinner at Gochi-So Shokudo. They are serving Iberico pork and I got a bowl of Iberico Pork Mix Don. 

The pork is soft (melts in your mouth). Don’t forget to put the sauce as it will give more flavor to the pork specially to the rice when it’s soaked.

MENU

WILL: A lot of choices where to eat the basement of One Raffles Place. And most of the time all diners are full specially on lunch and around 6-7pm (overtimers), and we arrived 740pm and the place is still busy as bee. 

Gladly, we catched a free table at Gochi-So Shokudo and got a promotion of $10 for BBQ Iberian Prok Belly Don. 

Please take note that they never put anything on the pork but still, you can taste the deliciousness of a pure pork's meat. And it feels like healthier! Oh, that feeling of "healthy" because the Iberian Pigs were fed by acorns and weeds! A herbivore pigs! Nice! That's explain that this pork belly doesn't have too much fats section. 

Nom-nom-nom! Add some spices that is on the table and you will surely ask for another bowl.

Makanista - A New Style Food Court

ABBEY: Wilma suggested to eat at Makanista. It has 3 shops that offers Western, Indian, and Chinese/local foods. 

I had crispy chicken burger with fries. Food prices starts at 5-6 SGD. Nothing special about my burger :) But the chicken is juicy and crispy.

Plain Prata 

WILL: It is 7PM and diners are full! Why not head over at Makanista? 

It is like a hawker but every stall is selling drinks. I am craving for prata, yes plain prata with a fish curry sauce. And I am happy to know that they served a crispy-thin prata. OMG! How do they know that I prefer that? Hehe. 

A decent place to talk (not that noisy) and a good place for a affordable food at Tampines!

Punggol Discovery Cube

ABBEY: We were on an afternoon run when we saw a building beside Waterway Point mall. It was the Punggol Discovery Cube. And when my schedule opened, we headed to it. As the name implies, you will discover Punggol from the past and its future plan. There is a huge 3D map of the area on the first floor. The second storey shows the timeline and key events that took place. You can get a panoramic view of waterway on the third floor.

Who would have known that there devices that measure the airflow (cold and hot) to check whether it is sustainable to live in that area or that is a block of buildings using solar panels for power? Yes, that’s me. I learned them all at the cube.

WILL: Our first flat together as husband and wife is Blk 295 at Punggol Central, there's not so much to see and go, that was 2010. 

But now, 8 years had passed, malls, groceries and container/food vans are all over Punggol! Yeah, I saw somewhat a small "transformation" of this place. But I was shocked to see that this is the former fishing village. Whew! A well planned transition. From a fishing place to the very first Singapore's eco-town. 

What is a eco-town? Well, I am happy to say that residents in Punggol are active in recycling (of course including us). You will see most of the time that the Punggol residents are putting their recyclables in the bin. Water harvesting system was installed to collect rain water and to use it in cleaning corridors and watering the plants. Solar panel was installed to the roofs to harness solar energy and light up LEDs at carparks or podiums. 

Check-out the Punggol Discovery Cube! It is just beside Waterway Point.
