Its tropical..
May 4 in Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 27 °CAs I started my run it was the lightest of drizzle. A kilometre in it begun to bucket - drenching with thunder and lightning thrown in. A classic tropical downpour. It was still raining when I went go to breakfast so grabbed an umbrella and took off. When it's not cold and windy you can carry on! Well - just when you thought I would stop with the Kaya pics my apologies - I have a new project. I have dealt with my dilemma by deciding to visit a different kopi stall each day and then going to my #1 on the last morning. There are 4 in the Bersah Food Centre and number 3 is going to trouble no 2 for the flag so far! Excellent toast/jam and the best kopi o so far. The boss is friendly as well (not a prerequisite at these places!) I waited a bit then set off in light drizzle to visit Maxwell Food Court. Used the new TE line that Sandy alerted me to - Maxwell station is virtually joined to the food centre - luckily, as the skies had opened. Undercover into the food centre and to the congee stall. No queue!!!!! By the time I was served there was one and it was the customary stretch around the corner. The fish congee was delicious and a HUGE serve for $4. I decided a whole bowl was way too much so went for some equally excellent chicken rice. Two excellent Maxwell 'brunch' experiences for less than $10. The rain had eased to just there so I wandered through the people's market and through Chinatown. Very quiet as you would imagine. Back to Lavender and my hotel. I read the Straits Times and stuff at the pool (spotting rain). Went to the hotel bar for my welcome drink - I knew from all last time it was a mocktail but it wasn't bad. I looked for a glass of fizz for a sundowner but was distracted by a familiar Provence Rose. I had a couple of glasses and took the rest to my room. Rain had stopped and a lovely fresh evening. Checked all the food options on the way towards Bersah and decided on none having eaten well today. There is a big soccer game at the stadium close by so a bit busy but not a noise issue. I think I knew what I wanted and yes - fried oysters (not omelette) at Bersah. I have had it several times before from this stall and it is peerless. Here, and a Bangkok place I go to, do this dish to perfection. (ps- the chillies I bought, although larger than I normally prefer, are serious chillies! I noticed in the market there were no other types on offer)Read more
