Ajisen Ramen @ Clementi Mall



Iced Green Tea and Lemon Tea (for sets)
It's the day Joling and Hooi Tin left for Johore, marking the end of their 4 days 3 nights Singapore trip. Hope that they did have fun here.

I brought them to Clementi Mall and treated them for lunch before sending them off.
And ya, anyhow picked a not-so-cheap & not-so-expensive restaurant in the mall, Ajisen Ramen 味千拉麵.


Seafood Katsu シーフードカツフライ & White Fish 白身魚フライ (Side dishes for sets)


Chicken Teriyaki Ramen 照り焼きチキンソースラーメン ($13.90 for set)


Spicy Cha-Shu Ramen ピリ辛チャーシューラーメン ($13.90 for set)


Aso Ramen 阿蘇ラーメン ($7.90)


Before they really departed from Clementi Station after lunch, since we're already at Clementi, then must let Hooi Tin try out KOI Bubble Tea, which is so crazily craved for across the island.

Night Cycling


Night cycling is an activity that one should try or at least experience in Singapore as for example in Malaysia you won't be able to night cycle because it's too dangerous (you might get robbed, kidnapped etc.) to do it there. In Singapore, people night cycle overnight and yup, you have to sacrifice your normal sleep hours for that.

It's my second time night cycling and this time was the one with hall people. Temasek Hall Outdoor Activities Committee (TH OAC) rented hundreds of bicycle from the east coast and placed them in the communal hall on the Friday night. Those that signed up will depart on bicycle from hall all the way to the East Coast Park.

In a group of 15, we paid $15 each as registration fees and some goodies, and our journey then started with two OAC attaches who'll led the way and made sure that we're safe.

Of course there're stops for us to rest and have late supper.

The two pretty ladies in green were our group's attaches.

At the end of more than 8 hours of ride, we finally reached East Coast Park, and no words can describe how painful our inner thighs were, on top of the painfulness on our calves and glutes.

Some concluded that this will be their last time night cycling, tiredness was indeed what we paid for the fun.
I think it can only be fun with friends cycling with you - we joked, laughed, teased each other, sang songs during the journey.

For me, it's therefore one good and unhealthy experience - you might get calories burnt, but you are awake when you're supposed to be lying on your sleeping bed.

What we did next was just waiting for the dawn to break, when the sun rises like a red egg. That would be the reason for us to gather at the dock, facing the south-east horizon of the sea.

Give yourself a round of applause if you managed too find me in this group photo.

It's past 7am and we returned our bicycles and collected our breakfast - Sausage McMuffins and Milo.

Thank God OAC catered buses for us back to hall and we're able to easily fall asleep on our way back.

Immediately when we reached hall, bathe, sleep... zzz....
