Railway Corridor

I went to walk the Railway Corridor with bf and his friends on Saturday. It is my second time walking along the railway tracks. I did a trek with some people on the railway tracks all the way to Sunset Way many years ago.

I like railways. It always give me a nostalgic feel about it. Makes me feel like reminiscing the past. :P KTM railway is shifting from Tanjong Pagar to Woodlands thus they have decided to close the whole place.

The walk was not easy. The rocks on the railway tracks made it even harder to walk. We lost count of the no of shoe soles we found along the way. That shows how tough the walk is. Bf contributed to part of the shoe soles found there. His already very "cui" slippers became more "cui" after the walk.

Someone's shoe sole that we found along the way

We started off the walk from Rail Mall and ended the session at Bouna Vista area. We took 3 hours to walk so far as we walked some, stopped to take some photos, walked some more, stopped to take more photos. Nevertheless, it was a great walk. It had been quite sometime since I last did any kind of "trekking". If this place is going to be preserved, I will definitely be back. Hopefully there won't be so many people then...

Ultimate Ramen Champion 2011 - Round 1

The Ultimate Ramen Champion 2011 is here! 6 famous Ramen stores is in Singapore to set up stores for a year to complete for the title of Ultimate Ramen Champion!

Being ramen lovers, of course my bf and I had to go and try it!. We decided to try one at a time

and will cast our vote after we are done with all of them. :D

Round 1 - Taishoken Mori Soba

Bf works in a Japanese company and one of his Japanese colleague recommended us to try Taishoken. He said that Taishoken is one of the most famous ramen stores in Japan. So off to Taishoken we go as the first stop! :D

We tried Taishoken's signature Mori Soba. Taishoken's Mori Soba is known as Tsukemen in which like soba, its noodles and soup served separately. One will have to take some noodles and dipped into the soup before eating.

I find the soup a bit too salty while bf finds it too sweet. -_-'''' ok... I have a sweet tooth and he prefers salty food, maybe that's why the complete difference in the opinion since I heard that the soup is supposed to be both sweet and salty. Don't ask me how they achieve it. :P We both loved the noodles though. Very springy! Yumz...

I am waiting to find a chance to try Ikkousha which HJ and another friend of mine highly recommended. Till then... :D

Artease Cafe

I think the Bubble Milk Tea craze is back in Singapore again. Is this another bubble that will burst soon? I don't know about it. For now, I am happily trying out the new kid (bubble tea) on the block. :D

Artease Cafe seems to be one of the newest pearl milk tea cafe in town. They have something sort of like a slogan "Life without Tea, is just plain Arse" which I kind of like. lol... I didn't feel that it's tea or pearls are exceptionally good even though it is definitely better than Sweet Talk. But come on... WHICH pearl milk tea can be worse than Sweet Talk diluted milk tea? Kind of hard right? I like Artease's shop deco. Other than that, probably the much shorter queue when compared to Koi's. :P It is still worth a try though. For now, I probably won't purposely go all out of the way to buy it. Maybe only when I am around the area... :)

Transformers 3

I went and watched Transformers 3 with bf yesterday. He had some free tickets from his contractor for some private screening. The movie is ok but I can't help but feel that Transformers 3 is just not the same without Megan Fox. The new actress is ok but I just can't help but notice her sausage lips. :P She kind of reminds me of Cameron Diaz. But her sexiness as compared to Megan Fox is nothing at all lor... Such a pity...
