didnt have school ydae. but had proj meeting!! first ever one. for our intro to politics project. kinda cool la. met the josh and shieh yuan at the library. was q a fruitful discussion i must say. heee. thn rushed off to collect my cam from harbor front!! (: very happy. my screen s now scratch free and nice. wheee. after that went to the gym to work out. thn gave tuition near my house. wah christabelle s getting lazyyy. i d better push her more. TSK. kids these days. oh wells. after that met jerome for dinner! fetched him from timbre that side. and he wanted to show me this damn nice eating place. so i allowed him to direct me to old airport road hawker centre. boy its rather near sch!! (: by car of cos. haven met jerome for ages! good catchin up with him. he is flying off to taiwan soonish for field trip with his cadets i tink. so being the fickle minded us. we walked round and round the place. and i decided to go back to the first stall i spotted. Xin Mei Congee.
this congee stall is apparently rather famous, appearing in various reviews and television shows on Channel U. i was craving for something hot and runny. so porridge seemed like an apt choice. the queue was longgg. even though it was already 745pm. but i decided that good food is worth waiting for. after about 20 mins. i finally got to order my fish slice century egg porridge. jerome decided to eat fish beehoon jus a few stalls away. supposedly famous too! (: old airport road is a new gem.

what i like about xin mei is that they serve the youtiao whole. while usually porridge stalls give cut up ones. the you tiao complemented the porridge well. unfortunately, it was a tad too oily for my liking. the porridge is good though! whole pieces of fish is found and they are generous with the century egg helpings. they were also generous with the shallots and spring onions which added much flavour to the runny bowl of delight. id recommend this place for supper as the food is easy on the stomach and delicious at the same time. after dinner we just sat there to talk until late 9-ish. shared with him my experience in US and all. its really nice catchin up with good frens. knowing more about their lives and being involved in them. after that got a drink from GoGoBeanz. this soybean stall that make their soybean products fresh daily. i had the warm almond soymilk. its not bad! (: took one of their cards. realised they ve got branches at other markets as well.
yay! gonna go shopping with yolks tomorrow. wheee. cant wait.
