Food Hunt @ NUS

This evening, we embarked on a food hunt following a map of the NUS for the various canteen & cafe in the campus. Well knowing that the stalls were mostly closed for the wkends, we just wish to find out their locations to save us the hassles of locating it during the wkdays.

I had always love canteen food since school days for economic reasons. Friends often complain for its lack of varieties but for me, i've always loved its simplicities, maybe i'm a purist by nature.

1 Stop @ Arts Canteen, The Deck
An imposing 2 storey building that sits on a little hilltop overlooking the Pasir Panjang Sea Port Terminal. Much recommended for its Yong Tau Foo noodles & Japanese food stall.

All stalls were closed except for this Claypot noodle stall 'Dong Dong' and another stall of Sichuan Chinese food. Many were having steamboat set (5) from the Sichuan food stall while we opted for Beef Horfun (2) from 'Dong Dong'.

Generous serving but was too saltish for my liking.

2 Stop @ Business School, The Terrace
An old premise which boasts of the best Western food in NUS but all stalls was closed.

3 Stop @ Prince George Park Residences
We ordered the Carbonara (4.80) and House brew (1.20) from the Kgourmet cafe. The big serving of Carbonara came dipping hot in nice creme sauce; house brew was aromatic and served with a little jar of fresh milk.

Desert was Vanilla ice-cream waffle at Supper Snacks. Everybody comes in for their crispy freshly baked waffles and the whole shop is filled with its homely baking whiff. Plain waffles are now at a discount of $1; ice-cream scope for $1.

Dessert always tasted exceptionally sweet with Ric ^_^
