We were on a hunt for good and affordable food that were priced in our minuscule budget, after the exhibition and that lead us to the Rasaputra Food Court at the far end of Marina Bay Sands The Shoppes. We were there at an ungodly hour or 12 in the afternoon, perfect if you'd like to see hungry impatient working-class heroes eyeing each table for an empty seat because it was packed-full. Even with quite a number of tables and chairs provided, it was still extremely squeezy to even order your food. Thankfully, we got to a table where an elderly couple were finishing their food and they gave us a sign that they were about to be done. Aww sweet couple, they were.
The food there are priced reasonably and they tasted good, unlike the ones you get in Johorean food courts. I was impressed by my Ayam Penyet and Jess's Padthai. All in all, we were full and happy people, walking out of the food court, re-energised.
Under a tree near the mouth of the bridge at Clarke Quay, there stood a ice-cream man with his little ice-cream motorcycle. And we bought one of our childhood snacks - ice cream wrapped in bread. Somehow, it brought back to the good ol' days. I remember the time when we were little, the ice cream man (not this exact one) will ride pass my house every 5 in the evening and my grandma would stop him and get my and my brother the kind of ice cream wrapped with either bread or biscuit. How time flies and these little scenarios like this traditional ice cream seller has flown by together with time and are so hard to come by, these days.
The weather was hot, despite the small drizzle. It was like the heat from the ground with diffusing upwards, hence it was quite heaty and humid at the same time. So, we decided to cool off at this cafe by the river called Haato & Co. for floats, a little bit of chit-chat and of course, free WiFi would hurt nobody :)
Throughout the whole journey in Singapore, we survived and stayed hydrated by bringing water from home in a water tumbler. I think I have learnt that important lesson when I almost passed out in Cape Town 2 years ago. Haha So, yes. If there's one prime advice I'd give about travelling is to bring or buy a bottle of plain water and bring it with you wherever you're going. A little water in your system really makes a difference. So, chug them liquids down and don't forget to seize every opportunity to go to the loo, even if you don't feel like it at the moment. Because you'll never know when will be the next time you see a toilet.
