Food Fair at Expo (Part 2)

More food stalls at the fair.

The sales man is trying to sell his honey. So he demonstrated how they extract the honey from it.

Another stall selling snacks.



Japanes dried abalone

Have you ever tried Putu Mayam?

It used to be one of my favourite snack during my childhood.

You can see another picture of it in my food blog. For more information you can see the source from here.

Food Fair-Part 1 - Bak Kwa Or BBQ meat

I had visited the food fair after visiting the travel fair earlier this month.

The fair is just as crowded.

This is the bak kwa or BBQ meat store where they sold bak kwa and sausages.

Bakkwa, or rougan is a Chinese salty-sweet dried meat product similar to jerky, made in the form of flat thin sheets. It is normally made from pork. For more information, you can view here.

Senior Citizen Care Centre

This building may looked like a condominium with nice balconies. But it can be quite sad to be living there.

This is a private senior citizen care centre. It is a home for old people who are unable to take care of themselves.

Some are placed there because their kids are too busy working and there is noone at home to take care of them.

It dont comes cheap and can costs more than S$1500 and above per month.

National Day - Fighter Planes

Hopefully this would be my last on fighter planes...hehehe...dont want to bore my fellow bloggers. :)

I took this on National Day (09.08.2008), now I know why the last plane is trying to catch up with the rest of the planes. The last plane had just finished performing an acrobatic show at Marina and now fly to join the rest in the final show at Marina.

Compared the two photos and see the difference. The last plane was coming in different directions on different days.

The below photo was taken on 02.08.2008 during the National Day preview.

You need to watch this exciting video especially the ending part taken on 09.08.2008. It looked scary when the plane just turned and dived to join them. It looked a bit different from the preview video that I took earlier.

Thanks to Tom for hosting Sky Watch. For other sky watchers, you can go to Tom's skywatch blog.

Food Display at Japanese Restaurant

Saw these plastic food display outside the Japanese Restaurant in Marina. They looked so real and delicious.



Sorry for the blur photos cause they were taken by cellphone.
