湿滷味 Stewed Noodles@People's Park Food Centre


湿滷味
that's the name of this stall.
How seldom can you find a stall like this!
And its egg noodles are only going for $2.50 a bowl!!! Topped with golden-fried beancurd strips, a huge piece of cuttlefish, fishcake, taopok and a good serving of kangkong veggies. hmm, was there half a hard boiled egg in there? can't rem...anyone ate there can tell me some other time yah??
The soup stock was flavourful enough, although it could have been stewed longer but it bears nostalgic moments for me as I used to eat this when i was young.
Although the taste can never be compared to the past, but I'm not really complaining here as I know how hard this sort of food is to find.
Besides their $2.50-a-bowl of egg noodles, they also serve a bigger portion which includes 3 layered pork, pig skin, more taopok, kangkong, chicken wing that comes in a metal bowl, in a rattan basket. I see many people ordering that too with their bowl of rice. Comes in 3 prices: $4, $6, $8
Ritey, that's all i wanna blog about this time round...and of cos i'm always on the look-out for more interesting finds in Singapore!

Jubilee June Shoes






this month i have been rather a good girl! so far i only bought 2 pairs of shoes! The first pair is from our local shores - Charles and Keith. Yes yes, their shoes are painful to wear but this design is rather pretty! And because that unfortunate morning, my heel broke and i had no spare shoes in the office, leaving me with no choice whatsoever to buy a pair to tide me that day.
the second pair is somewhat i have been eyeing on for months now. heehee...yeah yeah for the great singapore sale so River Island was on sale too!!! Finally bought this pair of beige Mary-Janes! I was also eyeing on one of their low-rise jeans but sobsob! even at size6 (the smallest) it was still too big for me!!! And it was so cheap! going at $80!!! Was tempted to buy it then alter later but the wiser brain said ..."no" So my thumping heart relented. I did went back to the store like 5 times a week. Practically everyday until every single size 6 piece was sold. Heartbroken, i even went to the store at Vivocity to search for the same pair. But they didn't have it either.
sometimes it's just not meant to be.

Flea Mart



we are setting up our 'store' now....more like mat store. Really! we are so clueless as to how to arrange our stuff!



Next, friends and cousins have arrived to help out! Even our colleagues came down to buy stuff from us!!! heeheh. Soon the hot scorching afternoon sun was shining down on us, and out come the umbrellas! okay i didnt take any pictures here cos we all looked so auntie-like! how embarrassing...so unglam!!!



More photo taking here...all smiling away...of cos, if not how to make business? I keep smiling at my customers ok...from 3pm till 1030pm...and i bend and crawl till i had a backache! So tiring this flea mart business. I was telling wj that this will be the first and last time for me!!!!
Kudos to those who have been doing this for alternate saturdays every month!
THIS IS HARD EARN MONEY PEOPLE!


See...the people here ah, drive such a hard bargain! $1 they also want to bargain with us...crazy man and i'm selling zara, mango, topshop, miss selfridge over here! They think im selling pasar malam clothes....sheesh.
There was even this blangah ah, walked up and down our stall 4 times! 4 times and every time he wanted the tee for $2 instead of $3. In the end after the 4th time he came down to bargain...we gave him for $2. We really admire his perserverance, determination and of cos bargaining skills. *bleah* we give up lah, no fight against him.





Lastly i really want to thank my friends and colleagues who made their way down just to encourage and support us!!!! and of cos my family and cousin who stayed almost the whole day with me, buying me drinks and food and of cos looking after my things in case someone steals them!!!!
It was a wonderful experience despite the backaches! hahaha...and wouldnt be a success without our family and friends..and of cos a sunny weather...gosh they should really put cooler fans attached to the ceilings or columns...phew!
And.
now i'm proud to say that

"I've come and done it all!"


ps: just in case you are wondering how much we made....we managed to sell $300 plus worth of goodies! *smirk*
