After we secured our stuff at Link Hotel, five of us decided to start exploring the city with the hours we have left before the Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards Night. The five of us included Kate, Crissy, Jonel and Jane. Near our hotel in Tiong Bahru is this mall called Tiong Bahru Market along Eng Hoon street. Before getting there, we saw locals happily eating along the sidestreet where delicious hawkers’ food are also located.
We crossed the street and figured our way around the market. We took the stairs going up and discovered a huge food court with numerous stalls selling Asian cuisines. Everything was smelling so good! The place looked simple but very, very clean. We also noticed that each stall would have an alphabet displayed in front. A means it is in perfect accordance with their cleanliness regulation. There’s B and there’s also C. We of course decided to get our food from one of those stalls displaying A in front. ^_^
While waiting for my food to be prepared, I went ahead and ordered some exotic sugarcane drink. I say exotic coz though we have sugarcane in the Philippines, I haven’t tasted yet what a sugarcane juice is like.So that’s what I ordered — Lemon flavored sugarcane juice. I saw how it’s done and it was so fantastic! They have this machine where they put the sugarcane in between the rotating cylinders thereby crushing the cane and squeezing the juice out of it and after a couple of rotations…voila! There’s my sugarcane juice!
They put ice and sliced calamansi in it and it’s good to go. For S$1.40, I got a small cup (which wasn’t really small… my cup was huge that I didn’t even finish it all).

see you soon!
