The day with makansutra’s tour
Yay… exam has finished…. study is over ^_^
Holiday has just started…. till I found jobs…
Fortunately, i got invitation from PMO (prime minister office) to join free makansutra’s tour worth of 100 S$… Mostly the trip is about exploring the traditional singaporean food… Along the way, the tour guide gave us some explanation on how the traditional food made and how it was invented.
First they brought us for breakfast to ayer rajah hawker center to eat singaporean fried rice, roti john, and teh tarik. First there are some demos on how to make teh tarik, some of us try it, quite funny, it’s not easy to make it. The fried rice is so red, I found it same as Indian fried rice which is sold at canteen 2, prefer nasi goreng tek-tek near my home, hehehe….. Roti john is quite nice, but it still ordinary roti john (roti john = bread which is fill in with omelette+meat)
Next place is indian restaurant at upper bukit timah road, their speciality is fish head curry… From the first step I got in to the restaurant, all are curry’s smell…We ate on banana leaf as the plate… quite unique. One big bowl are for 4 people, I sat with other 2 girls and 1 guy from PMO. The tour guide praise our table coz we can finish the fish till left the bone… Actually, the one who ate most is Jeremy, the guy from PMO, and we only staring at him and support him to finish it… For sure, we really can’t enjoy the food that much… Just an ordinary taste!
From there we continue to have our snack… char kwey teow and rojak at tiong bahru hawker center. For me… this two foods are not tasty at all…. Better Indonesian taste!
The last place to visit is dessert "island creamery". A place where sell ice cream with unique sinagpore taste… This is the best food of all. There are many uniques taste such as pulut hitam, cendol, tiger beer, lemon cheese cake, teh tarik, etc…
And… we also take the group picture!
Overall, the traditional singaporean foods is mix with malay, indian, and chinese taste. Can say it has mixed together and create a new recipee by "peranakan" means the descendant of the straight people from china which married with local malay, that’s why the food kind of "descendant" taste
