Now this is what I'd call a food trip !  Right after having kaya toast and cupcakes at Chin Mee Chin Confectionery , we literally hopped next next door to 328 Katong Laksa  as this has been one of the places friends have been recommending to us. Every time we'd tell someone that we haven't been to East Coast, the first thing they'd say is: " What?! But the laksa is the best there!" That said, we agreed not to pass up the chance to have that much raved about Laksa for this trip. To be honest, I rarely have Laksa simply because I always thought it was unbearably spicy. Sweating profusely while eating is not really something that I really like to do. Well, the restaurant has a nice air-conditioned area inside so at least they got that sweating problem covered. Now, we will have to see if the spice level of the Laksa is something we can manage. We got a small bowl of Laksa (S$5) to share. Look at that generous serving of shrimps, noodles, cockles, fish...

Happy #SG50! It was indeed a fun and relaxing long weekend that just passed and how I wish we can have more reasons to celebrate like this. So, on Singapore's National Day , all trains and buses gave free rides for the entire day and Paul and I took this opportunity to explore the other side of town -- the East. Our adventure started early in the morning where we took a 45 minute train ride all the way to Dakota MRT Station. This was followed by a quick bus ride to East Coast Road --  our first destination of the day. After attending Sunday mass, we checked out this famous old-school coffee shop which dates back to the 1920s! I first learned about Chin Mee Chin Confectionery when I saw a couple of random Instagram posts from fellow bloggers about it.
