Ok here are the pics that I took from the trip. Enjoy!

 

 

Ok these are the breakfast that we had at Tiong Bahru market. Scubasimon had Lor Mee which I should have ordered instead of my Fish sliced with noodles plate. Sorry mine is half eaten before I remembered to take a picture of it.

[zyrofillica]

dancingbiker, dun be mistaken, thats not me in my signature pic lol~

 

i have a mesh jacket too but admittedly i dun use it much as i find it still too hot. lol~ it must be quite a feat to run around in jeans and armoured pants. in the pics, scub looks like he is having a ball of a time rolling around the ground with his camera, the protective gear works for angled photography too yeah? lolx

[scubasimon]

i had the lor mee that morning...so that bowl you see in the picture was mine...HOWEVER...i much prefer the lor mee at the corner coffee shop opposite great world city...or the one at bukit batok west

Actually I was also using that opportunity to test out my gear for the 2000km round malaysia trip in early March. Your mesh jacket is too hot? Hahaha! Must be a really cheapo one. Time to dump it and get something better.

[scubasimon]

Komine jacket is not bad...but pants is very bad...for me at least. cannot fit. so because of that, i didn't get

 

@zyrofillica: you are right...its very good for photography and the first time i used it for photography, i slipped off the stairs...it sure protected me well...hahaha!

 

@lcp: i hunted already. tried bt batok, bt permai, great world, upper thomson, tiong bahru...and many many many other places which i cannot remember because they were so...forgettable. hahaha!

So having tried so many lor mee stalls, which one do you think is the very best?

I find that those people who complain that mesh jackets are too hot are usually those who are overweight. They would be sweating even if they were walking around wearing only sleeveless T shirt and shorts. Admittedly, on very hot days in the afternoon, mesh can still be hot, but I would rather sweat a little on those days than be caught in an accident without any protective armor. At night, wearing mesh armor jacket can be very chilly and I find that sometimes I need to zip in the wind protection layer on the inside of my mesh jacket in order not to shiver with cold when I am riding at 120km/hr on the NSH.

[dancingbiker]

Wah! I really envy you.

May I take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a Happy & Prosperous Lunar New Year.

 

Hope to ride with you again soon.

 

Thanks Intrepid. Happy Lunar New Year to you too and Happy Valentine's Day too! Hope to see you again soon! Take care my friend!

@dancingbiker: favourite one is the bt batok west store...followed closely by the great world city one

[dancingbiker]

Bukit Batok West which block?

[scubasimon]

Blk 155 Bt Batok St 11 #01-324 Stall 6 (Off Bt Batok West Ave 8)

 

Ironically, its called Tiong Bahru Lor Mee...but it is COMPLETELY different in terms of quality from the one I had a Tiong Bahru that morning

Sgeans generally have the placebo effect of food tasting better when it's named from a different location. Chong pang/punggol/changi village nasi lemak, katong laksa, jalan kayu roti prata all over the place...
