last day of 2011... the weekly MacRitchie tree top trek in the morning :) ... glad to see lots of local trekking today... also the regular chat with the uncle attendant, this round a real long chat :)
after trek, we had our quick lunch at the 'mushroom cafe' in MacRitchie...
my laksa $3.90 ==> yum yum i heart the gravy, the 'authentic traditional taste'
st's curry chicken rice $4.90
to be frank, to-date we 'struggled' to maintain the weekly tree-top trek... struggled because of the rainy season as well as personal factor... i dunno if i should call it laziness... the first thing i did when i wake up on the day of the trek was to look out of the window to see if it rained... i admit that i would be happy if it rained, paisay hor... likewise for st, lol... anyway despite this... so far so good we still managed to almost maintain the weekly trek [dec 2011 got 5 saturdays, our plan to trek on every saturday... we managed to trek 4 times in december 2011, sometimes rained on saturday so trek on weekdays... we did not trek for 2 weeks b4 x'mas and the trek immediately after x'mas was the toughest, esp after the festive makans] :)
during one of the trek... i nearly stepped on this HUGE worm and HUGE 4-legged snake... st really has the 'same frequency' as these creatures... somehow she can sense them around and stopped me just on time... just 2 steps before i step on them... so scary lor... everytime she alerted me, my eyes automatically looked at about one metre or further from me but these creatures were about half metre from me lor... so took me a while to locate these creatures and automatically i screamed and withdrew a few steps...
chance upon this interesting eatery at TPY after trek one day, specialises in baumkuchen cake, not the noodles we had - wheat baumkuchen restaurant, blk 190 #01-530 toa payoh lorong 6... gotta try the cake one day :)
my 'penguin $4.80'
- green soba noodles in roasted sesame sauce with shredded chicken, fried eggs, carrot, japanese cucumber, lettuce & quail egg
==> yummy... COLD noodles just nice for me after the trek
st's 'lava $5'
- ramen noodles in specialty curry, carrots, potatoes, chicken & lettuce (st changed the ramen to soba) ==> the curry is hot but the noodle cold, when mixed became 'not three not four' [不三不四]... in my view it will taste good if both are hot
this lava is the only 'hot' noodles in the menu... i think can attract some elderly if they serve some 'hot noodles'
anyway today is the last day of 2011... here's wishing everyone a very happy 2012, blessed with happiness, great health and abundance of wealth :)
'climbing' bt timah hill tomorrow afternoon... ended 2011 and starting 2012 'with mother nature'... so blessed :)
