Bugis Street Market

BUGIS STREET MARKET

Bugis is originally named after the bloodthirsty race of pirates who prowled in the Straits before the arrival of the British. The area where Bugis Junction now stands was the original home of Singapore's small Hainanese community. Great place to shop for souvenir items and other trendy cheap things. The place is always crowded but you can find a lot of restaurant that can give you a pause for relaxation and great food.

This restaurant is along the walkway so it's easy to see. As soon as you walk in the this resto you'll notice how it looks like an old-fashioned cowboy style place with wooden walls and wooden tables and chairs. The place is not airconditioned but the main door and facade is widely open you can feel the busy air outside.

The fries were sooo good and the sandwich toast was perfect

Fatty loin chops with white onions

I swear this dish is very tasty yet it gave me a woozy feeling because of the fat and oil. My friends ordered this dish twice as they were so into the exquisite taste of it.

With my friends, I was so hungry that time I wanted to eat everything but the resto's table is so small 'twas so hard to eat. Ate ren and I were already elbow to elbow seated together we have to eat using one hand only. And funny thing was they gave us no plate, we have to eat using a chinese small bowl.

Inside the bugis market LOL!
The place is like Thailand's chatuchak ( Jatujak; Thai: จตุจักร ) weekend market, only some of the store's are airconditioned and it's easier to move around even if it gets crowded.

We rode the cab going to Bugis, we hardly use the MRT as my travel mates are not that adventurous. After the Bugis adventure we decided to go to Mustafa, and decided to take the MRT for the first time. What I've noticed was all Singaporeans seemed to be always in a hurry. Everyone walked so fast in the MRT area it felt like my world was woozily moving fast. I took a halt every time 'cos my feet was soar from all the walks but indeed it was fun.

The day was like an amazing race, and I don't know why the hell on earth was I carrying my leather bag which was so heavy. I didn't want to carry plastics for the things I bought so I bought a cheap bag to put everything in it
