OG Outing Episode 2 – Attack of Clarke Quay
This time, this OG outing was organized by Yuan Hua.
After my cluster cleaning exercise, we PGPRians (JoLane, Jing Qiang, and me!) headed for Clarke Quay. Though we reached there qqquuuitte late (well, the rest were waiting for us Ma-lai-sii-ia lang… tsk tsk), we managed to get an entire large table for our OG. The restaurant is a Japanese shop specializing in making ramen. Hmmm, I never exactly know the difference between ramen and yellow mee, but well, maybe it’s nice?
As usual, when a certain restaurant specializes in something, that something is gonna cost us. Looking at the menu, I suddenly lost my hunger. XD … Lowest price for ramen’s $12.80… T_T there goes my money again…
My Negi Chilli Something Ramen finally arrived, and I must say, it tasted kind of good! I especially liked the meat. The black pig (I think) meat has some sweetness in it… can’t really define it, since I’m not good at words. But it wasn’t as spicy as I thought. Oh, well, maybe it’s better that way, since I’ve got lab session the next day.
Most of my OG mates ordered
This is when Edlyne finally arrived! I think she got lost finding this restaurant lol. Well, anyway, she brought along with her two packets of durians!!! Yum! Unfortunately, since this is a restaurant, we didn’t eat those durians… not yet anyway =D… And we just discovered that JoLane doesn’t eat durians! Wakakakakaka!!!
Yun Yau ordered some sort of ramen (is it called ramen? Or something else?) where you soaked it in some sort of sauce. Personally, the dish has no taste, but according to him, the dish is eaten for its texture and softness of the ramen.
After this, we wandered around (albeit for just a short while) the mall (where the restaurant is located in) and stopped by a stall specializing in gelato (note the specializing… wallet wallet, you’re gonna be as thin as me…). I think it’s called Gauche? For $4, we could get 2 scoops. Actually, I think it’s quite value for money, so after much consideration, I finally bought a cup (also due to indirect peer pressure XD). There’s just so many flavours to choose from, but I’ll just have to settle for two. Anyway, I could always get some tasting from the others lol. But that’s not all, as we met one of
The gelato was very nice, and while wandering not far from the gelato stall, we bumped into another celebrity! After another group photo again, we headed out from the mall, but not before Xuan De buoying another scoop, this time it’s Rum N’ Raisins! The first time I’ve tasted rum in ice-cream! And the taste was just… mmmhhhmmm, incredible.
Well, anyway, we decided to walk around Clarke Quay and take in the night life. There, the entire walkway was sheltered by large interconnecting umbrella-like roofs. Furthermore, there’s these huge holey-things scattered around Clarke Quay. According to Xuan De, it’s a climate control of some sort. If the weather’s too hot, it spews out cooling air… if I remembered correctly… lol.
After that, we settled at a bridge and played the numbers game (ok ok, I don’t know what’s it called, but the objective’s to NOT to guess the number set by the game master). And the forfeit? Eat DURIAN!!! Wakakakakakaka… After a few rounds, where almost everyone ate the durian, the suspense increases so high that JoLane stopped playing the game. But she still can’t escape from our durian breath!
After this, well, we headed back to our respective places. We actually walked from Clark Quay all the way to
As usual, the PGPRians had to chase after the fleeing train… again >.< . And took a cab back… again… because the 183 bus wouldn’t come.
After reaching back to PGPR, I finally set food into that elite-looking Super Snack outlet, selling (maybe, I’m not sure) inflated priced snacks. Waffles with chocolate cost bout $1.50… maybe it’s quite cheap. Haven’t tried it yet. But, I finally found rootbeer! Wouldn’t miss a chance to drink it!
It’s eleven at night when I finally hit the sack. Whew, a long night, but definitely a fun one!
