Sunny Bank

Today, I went to a new suburb with my housemates and found paradise in Aussie. It's like a little Taiwan/Hong Kong/Singapore. If I miss the food back in Singapore and feel like lifting the weight of my wallet, I will know where to go. That's right, the food here is very very expensive but I still went right ahead and spent it. Haha...

今天到了一个新的小镇,是好像个小亚洲,汇集了台湾,香港和新加坡的食品。想念新加坡的美食又觉得手头宽松的话,倒是可以来这里解一解乡愁。没错,这里的食物还蛮贵的!


Market Square Shopping Centre, where all the food is.


I had my lunch here, a plate of 'salty fish with chicken cubes fried rice' which costed me $8.50.

我在这吃了一盘‘咸鱼鸡粒炒饭’,花了$8.50.


The Sweet Dessert Shop, where I had my first soya beancurd in Aussie.

圆圆糖水舖,在这里吃了我两个月以来的第一碗豆花。


Soya Beancurd with mini glutinous balls. The glutinous balls tasted like pearls and I was a bit dissappointed. Initially wanted to order beancurd with soya milk but the shop ran out of soya milk. Sigh... $3.50 for this bowl.

小汤圆豆花。小汤圆吃起来像珍珠(泡泡茶的那种),有点失望。我还以为会像冬至吃的那种汤圆。原本想点豆浆豆花但是卖完了。$3.50.


Little Singapore - the restaurant with all the Singapore specialties. They had chicken rice, char kway teow, hokkien mee, nasi lemak, hor fun and so on. However, I don't think it's run by a true Singaporean. Which Singaporean will write their signboard in traditional Chinese?

新马餐馆,售卖很多新加坡食物,有鸡饭,炒果条,福建面,椰浆饭,河粉等。不过,我觉得这间餐馆可能不是新加坡人开的。多数新加坡人应该不会用繁体字来写招牌吧。


The food we ordered, there's laksa, curry chicken with rice, seafood hor fun and tauhu goreng.

我们所点的食物。


My Laksa which cost me $9.80. Siao right? I really have no idea why I ordered this since I don't really like Laksa in the first place. In the end, I can't finish it. Must be due to the fact that almost every table had an order of this. A friend once told me that if you want to eat the best food by a restaurant, just order whatever is eaten by most diners in that restaurant.
一碗$9.80的Laksa。其实我也并不是很喜欢吃Laksa,不知道为什么会点,结果没吃完。应该是因为很多其他食客都有点吧。曾经有朋友告诉我,想知道一间餐馆有什么是最好吃的就只要看一看什么是最多人吃的。


For the benefit of my KTV buddies, there's KTV here! I didn't check out the price so I have no idea how much a KTV session cost. Don't think there'll be a chance for me to sing here anyway.
