Joo Chiat!

Finally both of us got the time to go Joo Chiat for some jalan jalan. Joo Chiat is famous for its rich Peranakan heritage. Dear yesterday did some research on some of the places for makan. Weather was so hot and I parked my car so far away from the location. But the weather didn't beat us and we continue to search for the delicacies. We went past a very beautiful red building. We thought it was some kind of hotel but we were wrong. It was actually an art gallery and the owner was so friendly that it really scared both of us. I'm never really an art person but since it's free, just go in loh..

Seriously admiring the "ART"

That nice uncle helped us to take a photo

We continue our journey again and finally found the famous Hokkien Mee. It actually came with large oysters and I really like the texture and taste(or maybe I'm just too hungry).
Yummy oyster

Next stop, we went to the famous Popiah that has a long history. Some of you might saw it from TV where the family members still continue the making of traditional Popiah skin. We were TOTALLY disappointed by the taste!!!! We read a blog review where it gave high rating and with so many reviews about them, we thought it will be good. But then, my neighbourhood can make even better than this. It's tasteless and it's so expensive. $3.50 per roll with just puny prawn. It's the most expensive Popiah I ever had. It will be the last time I go there eat liao...Total waste of time!

The worst popiah!!
