During Mayumi's two short whirlwind visit days, we played the good host and brought her around sampling the exotic local delicacies. One of our excursions was to let her have a taste of Katong Laksa, but in Holland Village. Katong Laksa is probably one food very unique to Singapore. This laksa is eaten solely by a spoon because all its lauk-pauk has been cut into bite size (including the noodles). Mayumi loved this very much, to our surprise!
On the same night for dinner, we had an array of food in Lau Pa Sat. This colonial style food court is situated in the heart of the Central Business District. This place smells awful, thanks to a stall selling smelly tofu.
We started off with a plate of malay mee goreng. I don't like taugeh and i don't like mee goreng, enough said.
This is our carrot cake. Mayumi was asking where's the carrots, not knowing it was actually radish....haha...
What's a local meal without Char Kway Teow? However, this stall in Lau Pa Sat does not serve very fantastic char kway teow. You can find much better ones elsewhere.
Perhaps some handmade popiah? I haven't had this in about 10 years. Honestly, all this local delicacies are not my favourite foods, so i had abit of this and that and hated them all. Haha... i think Mayumi didn't really enjoyed this meal as much as the Katong Laksa too.
And this is the famous satay in Lau Pa Sat. We were there early, so the road outside wasn't closed for us to sit outside yet. Nothing beats the feeling of eating this satay roadside, so having it indoors spoiled a little bit of the novelty.
