JB food trip

3 Jan 09 - 6 of us, SW, Zhiwen, Wenfeng, James, Minchuan and I met up at Kranji MRT at 9.30am as we made our way into JB where we prepared to be ''stuffed'' with food.
I've always wanted to join the guys on their eating trips, as from what I've heard from SW after each of the trips, the food was mouth-watering. So this time, Wenfeng & I joined the guys on their annual eating trips. haha.. In a short while, we reached City Square in JB where we picked up our rented vehicle - 6-seater Toyota Unser as we were led by our eating guide of the day: James.

Us in our ride~

First stop - Dim Sum at 11.30am

The dim sum was yummy.. The carrot cake, sweet & sour meat & the otah was yummy! *drool....* but we din eat much as we knew the morning was still young and there would be many more eateries we'll stop by before noon.

Second stop - Kuay Tiao Soup at 12.10pm

this plate of chilli... is... actually not that spicy la!
haha.. looks can be very deceiving o!

The lady boss of this noodle stall is James's so-called 'godma' as he used to come by her stall at least once every week for her noodles and she always adds a lot of extra ingredients for him.. and all thanks to James, we got to taste her cooking.
YUMMY-licious is the word!! DROOL!!! the soup is solid~! with LOTS & LOTSSS of ingredients inside.. dun be deceived by the pix... the photo din do justice to the soup at all~!

Third stop - Bowling Alley at 1pm

We had to take a time-out after the kuay tiao soup and we decided to catch a IP MAN but coz the timing wasn't right, we decided to go bowling instead!
But golly!! the shoes they gave us was darn retro la!! look at all the bright colours! haha..
*kinda match my top in the pix though~! :p

check out my matching pipes~!

Imagine a bunch of big guys wearing this!
HIGH white socks were in vogue!! >.<"

Fourth stop - Bak Kut Teh at 2.30pm

After a short time-out, we headed for the famous bak-kut-teh, pig trotters & paper-wrapped chicken which I've heard SO much about but have not tasted before.
As I'm a big fan of pepper-styled bak-kut-teh, the one served at the stall (kinda herbal style) was not really my cup of tea.. but nevertheless, I drank a lot of the soup anyway coz it's really quite tasty! haha.. though not as addictive as the ones served opposite Tanjong Pagar Railway Station (Outram Bak-Kut-Teh).
The pig trotters were absolutely to-die-for.. but really very very sinful~ so I ate sparingly.. haha..

Fifth stop - James’ house at 3.30pm

After the bak-kut-teh, we were really saturated already.. can't eat anymore.. so we took another break @James's place in JB. But guess what!! his sis-in-law happened to have boiled some dessert - snow fungus soup!!! his mum insisted we eat a bowl each.. and so we all did!! haha.. the dessert was really tasty.. yum yum!!

*rest rest*

Sixth stop - Jusco KTV at 4.30pm

After some time, we left James's place with a heavy stomach and made our way to Jusco, hoping to catch IP MAN there.. but alas! they only had 1st row seats left.. so again, we left the theatre disappointed.

Ate some ice-cream while deciding on what to do next!!!
YUMMY!!!! :)

In the end, we decided to go for a KTV session..

---> someone let out some german gas.. guess WHO? --->

The semi-drunk singer~

Seventh stop - Korean food at 8pm

By the time we left the KTV, it was about 7+ and so it was time for DINNER!!
We headed for a korean restaurant by the sea -- highly recommended by James.
The small dishes there were so-so as I'm again not a big fan of Korean food as I don't really like kimchi.. but then, the meat was quite fresh and tender.. so again, thumbs up!! :)

Eighth stop - Cycling by the beach

After dinner, we had to go for a walk to help us with digestion and so we headed down to the seaside.. and what better way to aid digestion than to EXERCISE!!
so we rented the 6-man-cycle.. haha.. and it was super fun!!! We rode around like a bunch of teenage kids (up and down ramps too!! exciting!!!) and people around us started staring at us thinking what are these 6 people doing laughing crazily and behaving like kids!!

Ninth stop - Kuay Tiao Kia at 10.20pm

After the EXciting EXercise, we decided to eat a little more and end the crazy day with Kuay Tiao Kia. It's actually Kuay Chap, except that the noodles were thin. It's actually very nice to eat.. but none of us could really eat anymore.. so SW and I shared the noodles/soup.
Minchuan din eat any of this as he was already extremely full and at the brink of puking already.

The crazy day ended with the 6 of us going home feeling extremely extremely bloated and feeling slightly sick.. all thanks to the guy below... James aka JB GOD of FOOD~

sinful eating...
crazy fun~
great day!! :)
