Simple Joys: Why My Parents Loved A Gelang Patah Day Trip

Sometimes the best travel memories aren't found in bustling city centers, but in the quiet corners of a town like Gelang Patah . Instead of looking at photos from my Dad, I decided to ask my parents along to cross the causeway for a change of pace. We traded the usual shopping malls for authentic flavors and a slower rhythm of life. If you’re looking for a day trip that centers around local food and even better company, here's how we spent our day. Weathered vintage shophouses brimming with nostalgic charm and timeless character HOW TO GET THERE I have a confession to make: despite living in the West for 30 years, I only just realized how incredibly convenient to cross the border via the Tuas Checkpoint! Although I have been through the custom there via coach while on short trip. But not when I travel on my own! Living close to the Tuas Checkpoint makes the journey a breeze. We are 8 stops away from home to Tuas Link MRT station (opened since June 2017), hopped on the CW7 cross...

Photo of the Day! #Makanhunt by Openrice Singapore

Well again. Is a pleasant surprise again on a Friday. Received an email from +OpenRice Singapore , saying that my photo has been selected as the Photo of the Day for 29 May 2013. 

Yup I hashtag #Makanhunt on my photo in +Instagram again and not knowing it has been picked until the email came in. Thank you +OpenRice Singapore ! Really appreciate it. And the photo is Spicy Seafood Marinara I had the other day at Astons Express at U-Town, FoodClique. 


Oh actually it comes with a soup + garlic bread. But I never finish it because I just wanna finish the spaghetti. I kind of like mussels now after this round.


Oh by the way, Food Clique by Kimly Food is a foodcourt. The style is just the same as any other foodcourt or food junction. Kind of lazy to find any info about them but you can find them at NUS University Town, just walk further down after Koufu.

Yup the paging device that Astons is using so that customers will not miss their orders. Yoshinoya is using that too. Good job. I like!

Okay back to the story. So I was told to email them my mailing address so that they can send me the gift. I did that. Very prompt reply. 

Then subsequently, I received a notification on Instagram from Openrice Singapore. Eh... I saw the email before the message they left on my Instagram photo. Funny ar. It should be another way round. Hahahaha



Okay okay. I am a little long-winded. So now, how to join this #Makanhunt by Openrice Singapore?

Hey... I'm at Number 10! I think is for the month of May 2013. I think I'm rather aggressive for the month of May and I really do find myself a little of that. What's wrong? Hmm... Eating too much is no good to the waistline too. But exercise more. Balance up everything. I wonder if I can be that aggressive for month of June. I hope so. If not next month I'm starting my final semester, I don't have much time for this. Sighz...

Oh by the way, I do review foods that I had at OpenRice Singapore too. Yes one of their Openricer out of so many. I only write in honesty. No good means no good. Cos I'm paying for the food. Hahahahah... A little too excited again. Kind of crazy. But bear with me okay for this post.
