1) Go cycling in Palau Ubin at 8 a.m. It actually is a brilliant idea, but I ain't exactly very keen about waking up so early in the morning just to cycle. And I can't cycle, for one thing.
2) Have lunch at Orchard 313. This looks appealing too, but stuff in Orchard are pretty expensive, and I am a bit tight in my finances lately...
So after a period of consideration the night before, I have made my final decision.
...
Cycling in Palau Ubin just doesn't sound cool to me. Sorry to those who went(you know who you are!). And so I headed off for Plan 2.
We had our lunch in RamenPlay located in 313@Somerset. I normally do not like to have noodles, especially when I am eating out, because noodles take very long to cool and I will take very, very long to finish eating a bowl of noodles. But hey, after seeing and tasting my bowl of ramen, I agreed it was really worth coming.
I ordered their house specialty the Tonkotsu Ramen, and I must say, it's really worth every dollar. The serving is pretty large,so it was awesome for me. The pork slices are also very tender and has absorbed the flavour of the broth, thereby enhancing the taste of the pork slices. Speaking of the broth, I must say that I really loved the soup. It's not very salty and one can taste the very essence of miso and pork marrow bones. Most importantly, the noodles are well cooked. It definitely left me wanting for more...yum yum.
The next stop... is of course dessert. So off we went to Orchard Central, where our next destination awaits. I was recommended to a cafe called Fruit Paradise, which is well known for its fruit tarts. By the time I reached Orchard Central, I was so full from my previous course that I decided to just order a ice mocha, while the rest ordered a fruit tart along with a pot of floral tea. Now, allow me to show you how wickedly awesome and tantalising the fruit tarts are...
Awesome eh? Just looking at it makes one feel like eating it. Fruit Paradise is a good place to have your afternoon tea, when you can enjoy your tea and slowly indulge in your cravings for a sweet fix.
With our dessert settled, we went off to have a game of pool until 6pm, when I left for home while they went for dinner. I definitely enjoyed my day in Orchard, where there are many places for good food at affordable prices - the two places I went to are very good examples. Look around carefully the next time in Orchard, and I am sure you can definitely find places like these. :D
