North point South Atrium Opening - Lion Dance

Happens to be at opening of Northpoint South Atrium opening, fascinated by the Lion Dance.

As with many new opening of malls, it is always crowded with shoppers. One of the favourite to take photos with must be the 3 Gods Mascots. They are the Sanxing (三星 "Three Stars"), who are Fu, Lu, and Shou or Cai, Zi and Shou (財子壽), are the gods of the three stars and the three qualities of Prosperity (Fu), Status (Lu), and Longevity (Shou).

Singaporean loves malaysian food, our nearest neighbour up north. Ate the Penang Char Kway Teow, tasted good with the pork lard (yes unhealthy but dont eat very often so can cheat a bit hahaha), found the price a bit high.

Mee Rebus

Penang Chendol

Spotted this restaurant near the malaysian food court, a chinese hotpot with conveyor belt. The little plate of ingredients moves around, so just pick the plate of ingredients that you like. Each has personal hot pot right infront. Would like to try one day.

My World Tuesday - Yishun

Been a long time since I visited Yishun, a heartland located north of Singapore. I used to visit Yishun almost every weekend when my kids were younger, cause at that time Yishun was a very vibrant heartland. Now twenty years later, the town is so much quieter and even the shophouses near the bus interchange are very empty.





The building where the shophouses are located is a two storey building. At that time, it seems to cater to the needs of the residents and shoppers but twenty years later, the building have to give way to better and taller buildings due to the space constraints of our tiny island.


The whole place looked like a ghost town with people still moving things out.





But nearby the famous chicken rice stall at another four storey building is not affected at the moment. I am surprised the chicken rice stall is still there after twenty years. You have to queue to order your food. This is a coffee shop/eating house. Owner of the coffee shop sells drinks/coffee/tea while renting out other stalls in the coffeeshop to different stall holders.


It is not cheap to rent these stalls some can cost S$3000 to S$6000 per month depending on the location of the shop.

Other stalls selling just as yumy and delicious food.
