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...

I'm always envy when friends head out for meals over the weekends. But come to think of it, I am superb fortunate because I had my meals at home and is all home-cooked, be it my or my guy's house. It is more comfortable to dine at home right? So I'm not envy anymore.

Most of the time I will be at my guy's place so from breakfast till supper, is all at his house. I must say that his eldest sister is a great cook. You name it, she knows it. My guy too. He whips up meal sometimes and other times, is just for me exclusively. So that's the reason why I will grow fat. It gives me the reason to run even more. Anyway, nothing beats home-cooked food. So be appreciative.

And for those who don't know, it is a typical Singaporean home-cooked meal. Don't find it gross or whatsoever. Cos I may think some of your food are gross too! Respect for others okay? Enjoy the little visual food feasting!
