Yesterday’s Tiger Beer Singapore Chilli Crab festival was a DISAPPOINTMENT.
The only thing Singaporean about it is the queuing up for the FREE goodie bag and the queuing up for the food!
Chicken rice was too salty! The Char Kway Teow was bland. We could only taste the oil and chilli! Yucks! The Chilli Crab was ok.. not that bad but could be better. The lion dance was pathetic! The lion was so small… a Singaporean boy (about 8 yrs old) said it’s a dog! HAHAHAHA! There were no cymbals just drums! I wish i’d taken a pic of that “dog” but i was too busy complaining to Husband about it.
Please lor STB! If you want to have such events, please fly in the best hawkers from Singapore and let them serve REAL Singapore food to the people!! And also maybe fly in the No.1 lion dance troupe from Singapore and not hire some dodgy troupe that has a small lion that looks like a dog! Oh and with a big drum and cymbals please! Not a little drum that the drummer could strap over his shoulder. It’s not a snare drum!!
ARGH!
I felt it’s a total misrepresentation of Singapore!
Anyway, we left after finishing our food and walked around Spitafields market and went to Absolute Vintage. It’s so big! I think it’s a Vintage Heaven to Vintage lovers!
We went to Portobello Market and it was fantastic! Brilliant! Hog Heaven! Almost wanted to get a flat cap but it was 20quid.. couldn’t bear to pay that much for one but came home to check that it actually cost 65quid! DOH! But it was a bit too big for my small head though.. ah well. Oh and we chanced upon this nice little malaysian cafe called Makan. We ordered Char Kway Teow cos we were really disappointed by the one at the festival! Anyway, this time, it was much better! We were both really happy! Too bad there’s no cockles in it..Oh, The malaysian waiter was really impressed when Husband could pronounce Char Kway Teow perfectly! hehe
Back to Portobello Market….
I was looking at some cool boots at a stall when Husband reminded me that I still have a pair of boots that I’ve never worn and the stall owner turned round to me and said.. “Rule #1! Never bring your boyfriend with you when you go shopping! Especially to my stall!” LOL! It was so funny. I agree with her.. which is what I might do next time.. hehehe Or I’ll leave the Husband at the Makan cafe while i walk around the market.. 😀
Might go write a letter to STB now… or maybe after my Brain Training and er.. maybe after playing Hotel Dusk Room 215. I’m close to solving the mystery!!
no lah.. it’s a singaporean! hahaha
So we, Singapoeans, are the fastest walkers in the world!
No wonder…
I’ve been wondering why the Londoners are walking so slow! I’m always wondering to myself, “Why these ang mohs walk so slow? I need to get to work leh!!”.. and then of course i always end up early at work.. cos I walk fast mah… hohoho
It’s the Easter break now and school’s out and so are the chavs… Chavs are the equivalent to the Singapore Ah Bengs and Ah Lians…but much worse i think…
I was walking along Regent Street and Oxford Street the other day and man… it was full of people and yes, chavs..
I saw a group of girls, hair tied up like Viki Pollard, talking loudly and singing to some Hip Hop songs. Anyway, It was around 4.30pm then so there were lots of distributors on the street handing out the London Paper and London Lite. Most of these distributors are Indians/Europeans/Africans. And everytime someone hands a paper to this group of girls, they’d go, “Me speak no English!!”
Grrrr! How rude! These distributors do know how to speak English! But just not as good as them! Whatever happen to being nice to people??
And then there’s this girl who was scolding a man who bumped into her. And then she started to tell her friends, why people like to bump into her.. the conversation goes like this…
Chav: Yeah, i once scolded a teenage boy. I told him DON’T YOU DARE! Everyone just like my tits. All my guy friends are just like… they all just want to touch it!
Aiyoh! I think they wanted to touch them cos you weren’t wearing any bra and it’s so cold, so your nipples are showing!
Argh!!! I hate Chavs!
