It's been such a long time since i went to Katong...
Since Grace and me were working at parkway today, we decided to pay a visit to her old 'Jia Xiang' and the place i used to hang out after sch during jc times...
We decided to have the famous Katong Laksa for dinner. I thought there is only one famous laksa stall there but to my surprise, there are so many self-acclaimed "original Katong laksa" there. Most of them have posters of Mediacorp and Channel U artistes posing beside the stalls. And all the stalls are called Katong Laksa!
Which is the real Katong Laksa? Grace brought me to this 49 Laksa.. She claimed that she has been patronising that stall since young, so i assumed that is the real original one la...
Original Katong Laksa is to be eaten with only a spoon.. Hmm... very yummy indeed..
While exploring the stalls there we found this dish called "Tao Kua Pau" .. This apparantly is also one of Katong's famous food.. Ever heard of Tao Kua Pau? Tao Kua is bean curd in hokkien. Stupid Grace keep pronouncing it as Kau Sar Pau. I think she mean tao sar pau(red bean bun) but she got the whole meaning wrong also... her hokkien is CMI.. haha..
As the coffee shops at katong is super stuffy and hot, we decided ta bao the "Tao Kua Pau" and go chill out at one of the cafes at Siglap.
Grace: Alright, let's take a bus to Siglap.
Me: Eh Siglap is quite near, since we're feeling so full we can walk there..
Grace: Huh.. Are u crazy? It's a very very long way from here.. we're gonna take ages to walk there.. It's after TJ (Temasek JC) leh..
Me: NO... It's before TJ la u stupid..
Grace: EH.. hello.. this is my Jia Xiang ok.. i know this place better than you..
Me: But i'm quite sure it's before TJ... we can walk there..
Grace: I bet with you Siglap is after TJ...
Me: I BET with you Siglap is before TJ..
Grace: ( very confidently) ok lo.. we'll walk there and reach siglap 45 mins later.. den i will use the "Kau Sar Pau" to smash your head..
Me:ok lo... later see who is the one who will get smash by the Tau Kua Pau..
Meanwhile.... We happened to walk pass this house..
Very scary looking right?
So i told Grace," eh i think this place quite scary.."
Grace," HUh... u dont scare me..." Then we started to run.. Very dumb i know.. -_-
Anyway, Grace keep insisting that Siglap is too far away to walk to and she convinced me to take a bus to Siglap.
In the end? We alighted after 2 stops. I din even see TJ la... hai... Grace is such a MOMO..
After all the perspiration from walking, we decided to chill out at The Coffee Club.
And we ordered Fresh Fruits Chocolate Fondue!
I asked Grace to pose with the Fondue. Then to show that she enjoyed the fondue, she gave me a very cheesy pose.. haha..
Long time no see me?
