Drink and drive is very serious crime in China and often have roadblocks, so you could use your WeChat app to call for a driver who arrives in less than 5mins with an electric foldable bike

So this is how it works

Next day took a train to Wuhan for my work and here is my ride

Seat was very comfortable

They even give you slippers

FINALLY! Today I got a chance to use the new terminal in the  Suvarnabhimbi Airport.

If you are familiar with this airport this is a video showing getting to the new terminal after immigration at the old terminal. Hope it helps.

While in Thailand if you are craving for Singapore food you really have to cook it yourself. This is my prawn noodle

without pork (for my maid)

with pork

All over Thailand one can find many delicious and clean street food. One of my favourite but rare item is bitter gourd chicken noodle or in Thai will be "kway teow gai mara"

It is basically noodles (of your choice) in soya sauce chicken soup with pieces of chicken boiled in soya sauce. At a side table are raw vegetables (including thin slices of bitter gourd of course) and sauces for customers to add themselves into the bowl of their noodle. Let me show you.

The stall

Open space eatery

Car park

Cutting chicken and inards

The said table with raw vegetables and sauces here you can find from left to right - Thai basil, bitter gourd, bean sprouts. From top to bottom - sour chili sauce, sugar, roasted chili flakes, un-roasted chili flakes, crushed peanuts.

Here you see customers topping up the their noodle at the "free flow" table

My 50 baht ($1.90) lunch

While at the market passed by a stall selling curry puffs

Bought 3 boxes each box of 10 freshly made puffs costs only $3.75

Yesterday was Saturday. Morning went to the market to buy some eggs and prawns and some vegetables for the new week ahead. Stopped for coffee and eggs for breakfast

Now in between the above meals and food there were some miscellaneous food and snacks which I will lump up in this last post of the trip:

Dinner on Sunday was planned at Tiong Bahru's Ting Heng Seafood Restaurant

Upon arrival was met with a surprise. As Sunday was the 16th day of the first month of the new year it is also the birthday of the monkey god as Taoists believe. Directly opposite the restaurant is the monkey god temple. On arrival there was a procession, really interesting, not seen this for decades so this was the scene there

Went to Raffles City to Putien Restaurant the second night

Once again started with Yusheng

After tossing

Signature dish is meesua noodle - soup was so so good
