Greetings from the sterile republic! *waves*
I have been out and about.. and hardly far from my laptop. ๐
Tired out from the bus ride, I actually slept half the day yesterday! Major FAIL! I missed the chicken rice for lunch & ended up having this for lunch instead.
Not that I mind.. I love cakes!!
(more details on the cakes later )
I love grocery shopping in other countries & I have always lamented that Malaysia seriously have some catching up to do. Though I have not been to that many countries… & based on my limited SEA travels, I rate Thailand & Hong Kong as one of the best for their groceries selection ๐
So after the cake, I hobbled over to Giant since it was nearby & got myself this – Magnolia’s Yogurt Smoothie (SGD1.25).ย It tasted like Berries flavoured cough syrup. NOT recommended at all.
Those who know me well knows that I have an obsession with bread. Especially in Sg; I actually find their Gardenia edible, UNLIKE in Malaysia where I rather starve than eat Gardenia! You can read about their yummy loaves HERE. Their Gardenia is much thicker, denser & tasted way better than what we get here!
This time round, I saw some new addition to their range of ‘Fun Buns’ & got myself one each for variety ๐
After chucking away the awful Magnolia smoothie, I bought this – F & N’s NutriSoy (SGD1.35). Luckily, this turned out to be a good choice.ย Thick & creamy, it did the job of washing off the medicinal taste from my mouth. Again I just can’t help but compare this to our Yeo’s, Nesvita & Soyrich, which sadly really loses out in terms of taste.
I’m not sure why I bought this Nescafe Macchiato (SGD2.50) , cos I can’t drink coffee! But I find it hard to stop buying everything! Guess I’ll just give it away ๐
Look at the variety of cheese they have here!! I wonder if Unka will help me lug some home on his flight (I’m taking the bus).
Ok, out I go! I hope to eat some reallllll FOOD today, I’m starving!!! ๐
You can read about my last misadventures in Sg HERE.
wah i can live very healthy over there wei.!!!!!
Haha! Yes you could actually! Come la, we both get a job in Sg! ๐
wah stim.. what r u duin there anyway?
Holiday! kind of la.. cos got free room since BF in Sg..

Oh? Dunno abt White Rabbit ๐ But I did try Ben & Jerry’s. Too sweet for me ๐
Oh, it’s @ dempsey hill.
a chapel turned restaurant, it’s on the splurge side, but i enjoyed the place very much.
and there’s a good variety within the vicinity too.
i rarely do grocery shopping, whether in kl or abroad, but whenever i do, i like to check out bread and buns too! though my weakness would be potato chips and chocolate ๐
Oh! Now I knw! Will get u some the next time I go anywhr else ๐
But u got to tell me whc u hv not tried though!
eh! we have the same interest ๐ while oversea, Jenn & I love to check out on the grocery store… eg. in Krabi, we went to Tesco Lotus and bought a lot of snacks there, plus a shampoo that we couldnt find in M’sia and also their famous Siang Pure oil ๐
For me, I checked out 7-11 and tasted their snacks… Malaysia is too far behind
7 -11! Yes, Msia’s probably the worst ones! Hehe..cant get decent food.
Cool man.. imagine if we go holiday toge ;), we will raid the supermarket shelves!
