If you were to ask me, I would say that I have a love-hate relationship with my own country. This place is great to live in, but, *in Singlish accent* DUH PEE-PER AHH HORRIGIBLE EEW KNOW!

Well, my hatred for its system and the people will be another story for another day. Put everything aside, the food has got to be the main reason why Singapore is irresistible.

And if you can’t find a reason to come here for a holiday, just simply think about the myriad choices of food you’ll be able to find.

Funny thing is, though I’m not a food blogger, I’m always very hyped up whenever I’m blogging about food. Hell, my imaginary superheroes, Makan Man & Dessert Girl won me a laptop sometime ago!

So if I were to plan a perfect 1-day itinerary for a foreign friend, I’ll make sure the friend indulges in so much good food that he/she doesn’t feel like leaving this place!

Here’s how it goes:
We’ll kick off the day with the classic kopitiam style breakfast – The Kaya-Butter Toast with Soft Boiled Eggs and a fulfilling cup of Kopi!

I personally love the eggs from Ya Kun Kaya Toast – They have the biggest I’ve ever eaten.

If you’re not yet satisfied with the breakfast, you can head over to Fandi Mona and Family food stall over at Haig Road Food Centre to try their Mutton Mee Rebus. Mmmm mmmm.

As recommended by ieatishootipost

What a hearty breakfast!

Next, for lunch, Prawn Noodles at Lavender Food Court.

…or Hainanese Chicken Rice

I like going to Chinatown or Far East Plaza for it. These two places have Chicken Rice of Boon Tong Kee‘s standard, but cheaper!

After lunch, head over to Tanjong Pagar Hawker Center to have some chilling Peanut Ice Kachang. Perfect for such a sunny afternoon!

Not enough? Grab a few Tutu Kueh from Bugis Street!

AND, for the awesome dinner, it has got to be the XO Crab Bee Hoon from Old Airport Road!

Well, if you are not quite done after dinner, I would definitely bring you to Wan Toh Sek, otherwise known as 126, at Geylang.

And with that, it completes a fulfilling day of food glorious food! OM NOM NOM! Okay, all these pics are making me hungry! Gotta go and grab something now!

“Indulge in the Uniquely Singapore EATING experience!”

No updates since like 2 hours ago. Meh. But it’s kinda scary, isn’t it? Like how our lives revolve so much around technology that if one day it suddenly disappears, we actually can’t function properly.

Anyway, I’m still kinda busy with some stuff and hopefully I get to rest proper after the blog awards. Haven’t been getting enough sleep, so here’s my eyebags galore for your scrutiny.

Promise to blog about the overdue events soon!

DON’T FORGET TO VOTE FOR ME PLEASE!
It’s the last 3 days before voting closes!!!

First up, the materials you’ll need!

Step #01:
Cut the Pringles tube into 2 parts! One of it being about 1/5 of the length.

Step #02:
Cut the plastic mirror into 3 long parts that will fit nicely into the tube.

Step #03:
Slot the plastic mirror sheets into the tube and glue them down to secure them into place.

Step #04:
Cut the base off from the smaller half of the tube.

Step #05:
Stencil the circumference of the tube and cut 2 pieces out from the transparent sheet.

Step #06:
Glue one of the transparent sheets on to one end of the tube.

Step #07:
This smaller tube will be the image that will be reflected, so decorate it with the shiny/translucent stuff. You do not need to actually glue everything down; You simply place the stuff into it and glue the other side on. The shiny/translucent stuff will move about as you turn!

Step #08:
Cut out one wide strip from the foam sheet.

Step #09:
Wrap it firmly around the two parts of tube and glue it together. *Don’t glue it on the tube though!*

This is the “handle” of the Krrunchleidoscope!

Step #10:
Cut out the circumference of the tube from the foam sheet and puncture a hold in the middle. This serves as the peephole!

Step #11:
Glue it down to the top end and TADAA~! It’s a kaleidoscope!
OH!
NO!!!
IT’S A KRRUNCHLEIDOSCOPE!

Take a look inside!

And now to prove to you that it actually works…
