Singapore: A Morning at Bugis

On Monday morning, my friend went to work and without having any plan for my next destination, I stopped by Bugis Junction again although I had visited there the day before. Entering into the mall from MRT station, the first 2 shops that came into my sight were Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Old Chang Kee. IMO, Ya Kun is no different than our very own Oldtown White Coffee. So, I grabbed a piece of Old Chang Kee's curry puff for my breakfast. There must be something special in this curry puff behind the success story of expanding the business from a stall in a coffee shop to multiple franchise outlets today. The size was large, the crust was soft and the filling was good.


According to the map on hand, the attractions nearby were Bugis Street and Kwan Yin Temple. I walked past Bugis Street on my way to the temple. Most of the stalls were still closed in the morning. They don't need a house so there are a lot of adult shops.


My friend said that this temple is normally very crowded during the weekends. I went in the temple to make a donation and see the local folks doing their prayers.


Saw this Laughing Buddha on my way back. Wishing for good wealth and prosperity, the locals rubbed on his round face and belly. Hahaha. I followed.
