TACHINOMIYA 立ち飲み屋 Review

Image
Went to a small Japanese restaurant in the neighbourhood of Kovan. Lunch set was $7.90 ++. Choice of Asparagus and Shitake /Cheese Chicken Katsu /Saba Fish / Gyu Steak + a drink. Hot Tea  Cheese Chicken Katsu Asparagus and Shitake Food was just ok.. normal, not fantastic and not horrible. My only gripe is that the food comes in a paper box which shouldn't be the case for restaurant food. It's a non air con restaurant.  Overall Rating:  3/5 Tachinomiya 211 Hougang St 21, #01-285 Tel:  6286 0738 Opening hours:  Lunch: 11.30am – 2.30pm Dinner: 5.30pm - 12am (Mon-Thurs, Sun), 5.30pm - 1am (Fri) 5.30pm - 2am (Sat & Eve of Public holiday)

Erich's Wuerstelstand Review

Image
Went to Erich's Wuerstelstand, which claims to be the last sausage kiosk before the equator. Tried their sausage which is rather delicious and value for money ($3.50). Their muffins costs $2 per pcs which is rather reasonable. It is highly rated by both foreigners and the locals. Value for money sausages.. who says you need to go to a expensive German restaurant to eat nice sausages? They have relocated from the roadside stall to a proper store at a coffee shop. Erich's Wuerstelstand  Blk 5 Banda Street- 01-52  K88 Coffee house  Tel: 9627 4081  Opening hrs: 11am - 9pm.

JB trip: Dim Sum at Restoran Haw Yi

Went to Johor Bahru with a friend and dined at Restoran Haw Yi Nice decent dim sum.. A total of 48 ringgit for the following dishes, a bowl of porridge and 2 cups of coffee. Quite a good deal.. bloated. Restoran Haw Yi  Address: 20, Jalan Hang Tuah 28, Taman Skudai Baru, Skudai, Johor

Little Guilin (Xiao Guilin) - Park connector in Singapore

Image
Little Guilin, also known as the Bukit Batok Town Park is actually located in between Bukit Batok and Bukit Gombak.  It is easily accessible via the park connectors - You can cycle from Jurong east to Bukit Batok to Bukit Gombak. If you take the MRT, just alight at Bukit Gombak station.  What to see? Just a little granite rock sitting on a lake.  Not many tourists there... a few people taking selfies with the rock. Is it worth going? There's nothing much except there is no other place to find this rare view of granite rock in a lake in Singapore. Once is enough..
