Last week, we wrote about the Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice we ate in Chinatown for $2. That was on Sunday. The following day, we were both on leave because it was our monthiversary - we've been celebrating on the 15th of every month since we went steady as a couple 39 months ago.
We went for a day trip to Changi Beach. The original plan was to go there for a picnic, but Ms Budget wanted to eat the Changi Village Nasi Lemak, so we modified our plans. When we reached there, we found that the nasi lemak stall opens only at 6pm. >_<
So we decided to go someplace else. At Blk 5 - the long block of holiday flats opposite beside Changi Village Hotel - there is a row of pubs, a kopitiam, and a few cafes and food stalls. One of them is... you guess it! a branch of Tiong Bahru Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice. Again for $2!
So we had that for lunch. There are a few small differences. This one doesn't give Mentos sweets, but you can help yourself to as much free soup as you want - we had three medium-sized bowls. Basically we took the soup until we were too paiseh (embarrassed) to take more! Hee hee!
We spent the afternoon on the beach, digging in the sand, building sand hills (castles were too much of a hassle), walking along the water, looking for seashells, and people-watching. We also drew stuff in the mushy sand... or was it mushy stuff in the sand?
As it was the school holidays when we went, there were a number of teenagers there. It was actually surprising to find so many people there. We thought that people would prefer to go to East Coast Park. But then again, the sand at Changi Beach is so much nicer.
There was also the option of going for the Changi Beach Boardwalk, which is a 1.2 km coastal boardwalk with scenic views of the sea and Pulau Ubin, but we've been for this before in one of our earlier dates, so we didn't go this time.
When evening came, we headed back to Changi Village to get our nasi lemak. The yummy yummy nasi lemak. We've never tasted such delicious ikan kuning (the small crispy fish that usually comes with nasi lemak) and of course the rice and chilli. Mr Budget doesn't normally eat chilli, but he usually makes an exception for nasi lemak and fried hokkien mee.
That's all for this week. Next week, we'll tell you where to get yummy pasta for $7, and pizzas for $9.
Speaking of pizzas, we had Skinny Pizza at Suntec City last night. Not good. It's not cheap, and not worth the price. Neither is it filling. It's our first and last time there.
