Grain Traders @ CapitaGreen - Build Your Own Healthy Bowl

ABBEY: What a way to start your day is to have a breakfast. Haha. The place? Grain Traders. They’re spot in Singapore’s central business district gives the diners a homey feel in the bustling city. 

I got pita bread with cream cheese spread, topped with fresh spinach, a couple of pickled cucumbers and pulled pork.

The bread is soft and goes well with the cheese. It’s what pita bread and cream cheese do. The pulled pork is sweet and not dry and the cucumber gave a sour twist on each bite. All were wash down with a cup of cappuccino.

Haakon Superfoods & Juice

ABBEY: It is Nadine’s birthday and she invited us over dinner at Haakon Superfoods (One Raffles Place). 

I ordered vegetarian bibimbap. It is the usual bibimbap mix except for brown rice and mushroom; replacing the meat. The food was full of flavor and light. You won’t even notice that you’re eating without meat. 

It is also a good catch up with our friend after a recent event organized overseas.

Dubai Museum and Al Fahidi Fort

ABBEY: After Gitex, we got some time to roam around Dubai. Dubai Museum was our first destination. It was located in one of their major forts in earlier years; Al Fahidi Fort. 

The first occupations were pearl diving and fishing. The forts were built as protection to invaders as their location is susceptible to it. Replica of houses and boats were exhibited as well as souks (shops). Features like windtowers help to cool down the house and the inhabitants. There were also write-ups for dresses, accessories, religion, culture and lifestyle to help visitors understand Dubai more. 

Their leaders have vision to improve the emirate and the result can be seen nowadays.

WILL: Before we want to explore each place, we would love to go first to it’s museum and gladly Dubai has one. It is for us to know of course the history and beginnings of each place before they reached the latest state of its land. 

As expected, we found wisdom. I learned that not long time ago, Dubai is a fishing and pearl divers village. Exceptionally and unexpectedly they are sitting on a huge amount of oil beneath them. And the rest, as they have said is history. 

The museum was built on the fort and that explains we need to spiral down to reach the displays. The musuem was dark but lit enough to see your way and to read on the diagrams. This is how dark it is living on those times at a desert. 

Dubai Museum costs only AED3 and for history buffs, this is a must see place.
