Bedok Town Centre — Local services in Singapore

I went to the counter, and stood there for a while before the China lady asked for my order.

I ordered seafood soup with thick bee hoon. she seemed lost, and ask the other preparation staff if she can accept "seafood soup with thick bee hoon". the preparation staff seems lost too.

A lady who just reported for work came up to the cashier and took my order.

I asked "Do you add milk into the soup?" and she asked me back "Do you want milk in your soup?" so I confirmed "Yes, please."

After a while, I saw a bowl of noodle sitting at the counter, and asked if it's mine.

Staff seemed annoyed and told me yes!

I commented "Oh, I requested for milk." The cook stared at the cashier and said "You didn't tell me?"

Cashier confirmed that I did inform her that I wanted milk in my soup.

And there was a silence....

I stood there for a good 10 minutes..

Then I asked "Sorry, is it possible to add the milk now? or is it too late?"

Cook just raised her voice and shouted at me "I'm going to add for you! cant you see?" when all I saw was her cooking another customer's order of noodle.

Well... nobody informed me if they are adding it for me, or are they expecting me to just accept it that way.

Overall, experience was super bad. I got shouted at for their miscommunication, silence of uncertainty, and food was not fantastic.

Noodle was not well cooked, a little hard, and ingredients was too little for the price.

As shown on photo. Can't see much floating in the bowl of soup basically even though I added Thick Bee Hoon...

Otherwise, I probably won't see anything in the sea of soup.

Prawns were mushy, definitely not in the contexts of any sign of freshness.

2 prawns, 2 crab sticks, 2 slices of fish, and probably 3 leaves of vegetables, with my added miserable portion of thick bee...

It can be affordable to stay in Sg especially if one : Eats at the food courts / hawker stalls which serve food like home (Chinese/ Malay / Indian Travel by public transport or walk

Safe. It is safe even to walk in a deserted undercarriage way to cross the road to buy essentials (as encouraged by my daughter and son in law and discovered it is true).

Healthy. Health is a priority and I count my blessings to be able to have regular evening walks safely around the blocks and use the readily available exercise machines placed at strategic sections of the grounds.

Comfort I don’t feel greasy or uncomfortable after being out and coming home. But I do tend to wash n have a shower and change my clothes because I do believe in masking, washing my hands n doing my part to be a responsible human being.

Food I love Cho Chiat Road where many Vietnamese shops are located. I think it is my love for pho. Generally Vietnamese food is gentle and petite. I know we don’t describe food as such but I like the dishes for being so. My SIL (son-in-law) said I would love a trip to Vietnam. Hummm…

Go green During the Stone Age, people had not much spare time for recreational activities but once they were able to settle down and became farmers, innovation n creative past-time became available. Sg is an affluent society n education and how-to’s are taught freely. I grew and harvested twice spring onions during my three weeks stay. Almost every satellite communities I ventured into has a corner or stall selling potted plants and garden...
