ECP … East Coast Park … not the expressway
Headed there with Aly and her sis Samantha for dinner after that round of clothes shopping at Chinatown

Sam had the Gold Medal Macau Baked Rice ($14.80) which is actually pork chop with tomato sauce, Chicken chop with portuguese sauce and seafood with cream sauce all in one plate … I didn’t take a pic of it as Aly had eaten this before and I did blog about it previously…. er… I think … (do a search? )

Sze chuan fried spicy french beans ($8.50)
I’ve always wanted to try this after seeing others order it countless times, but was afraid to do so ‘cos of the word “spicy” … fearing that I would have to finish it alone if it’s too spicy for Aly.
Since Sam’s here today, I took the chance to do so.
The dish WAS spicy… but it was also appetising and darn good in my opinion… even Aly ate lots of it… and drank lots of water

Erm … What’s this? It’s Aly’s order!!!

Noodles…. egg… beancurd skin …. fish balls…. er…

Together with the stuff in the hot pot… it’s Aly’s
Drunken Chicken mini steamboat ($13.80) !!!
The soup was pretty tasty… don’t worry… you won’t get drunk ….
Didn’t eat or taste much of it though… ‘cos I was more interested in….

Abalone sauce spicy pork leg noodles ($8.50)
Couldn’t resist ordering this when I read PORK LEG
The port was soft … yeah!!! …. I hate eating pork leg when it’s tough
The sauce was delicious! Mixed with the noodles, it was awesome!!!
Portion was too small  though!!! I was tempted to order another plate

After eating at so many hong kong cafes, Aly and I still prefer the ones by C.Nai
Lots of items in their menu, the milk tea is good … and the food is good as well.
The only gripe I have is that the service can be quite lacking at times

After our meal at Astons and walking around the area for awhile, we headed to East Coast Park for dessert…

Strawberry smoothie

Shared a waffle with ice cream with Aly….
What to do… was still hungry after dinner at Astons
This filled up my tummy nicely

Woke up… and we went to cycle again… More cycling!

All ready for more cycling!

Check out this sign! I wonder why they planted the sign under the tree…
Imagine when you’re reading the sign and the coconut decides to drop

Falling coconuts everywhere!!! Yikes!

Getting old… huffed and puffed …..

Aly had to wait for the old man to catch up

Headed to Coffee Bean for lunch ….

Aly’s pasta…. with some chicken meat… can’t recall what it’s called

Ordered fettucini bolognese … minced beef…. MEAT!!!

We stopped along the beach to take more pics after lunch …

Aly’s face shadowed… I seriously need to brush up on my photography skills!

I wished I had place my order for the Ultrapod sooner… darn… can only use my outstretched hands to take pics of the both of us….

Self timer shots … heh…

We then headed back to the chalet and proceeded to cool off in the pool…

My bikinigal

This is the difference… between a pretty smile.. and a dumb one… :”>

Yes….. that’s ME … IN the water… you’re not seeing things

We washed up and then headed to Parkway Parade … ended up with a few tees …

Testing out my new mobile phone camera…

Got ourselves checked into the chalet at East Coast Park… Our very own little Deepavali celebration!

At the car park just outside the chalet upon arrival

Aly checking out if they gave us squeaky beds

Took a quick shower and we went off to rent some bikes and went cycling…

Got a call from M1 informing me that stocks of the mobile phone I reserved were in … Aly and I then decided to head down to Bugis Junction for dinner after cycling.
