It's a fine and windy day!

Almost too fine for the piping hot weather of Singapore..

Once again, we are back at the oasis.

They have at least 2 decades long of history backing them up!

Perharps the first restaurant 'floating' on water.. We're here today for lunch!

A big pot of Taiwan sweet potato porridge,

and numerous dishes on the menu to go along with..

This nostalgic place would be relocated in March..

When I was still a little girl, my parents used to bring me here..

and I'll always kneel on the couch and peered out at the blue waters..

To think that it would soon be history...

The last time Feng and I came was with my parents a few months ago.
Late late at night, for supper.

The view was breath-taking!

Eating warm porridge on a breezy, starry night!

Suddenly, it occured to me that the nearby CosyBay
might have to give way to the new developments too!

I certainly hope not!

Look at the queue outside!

It goes on and on and on....

This is probably one of the few places that still retains the old-style cooking methods..

Yes, the food's kinda oily.

The raw cockles very bloody,

the meat's not exactly that leany..

But it's sure hell yummie!

Hack the healthy eaters!

The food arrived!

We help ourselves to our free-flow pot of porridge.

We had good'o oyster omelette.

Imagine biting into a crispy, not lumpy, omelette,

with generous serving of half cooked oysters!

Pork stomach with brown sauce.

The very smooth meat with thick brown sauce.

The sauce's almost like a secret recipe taken out of granny's personal recipe book!

You can never find another prawn paste chicken like this.

It's soo fragrant and crispy, and the meat so tender and juicy..

Stand aside, KFC!

Salted egg in pork.
A traditional favourite, i guess.

And so we had a lunch full of traditional flavours.

This traditional fare costs about 50bucks .

Like i said, the amount of supporters justify their steep prices!

Will this be the last time we eat here before they move to Toa Payoh?

Certainly not!

We've made a pact to come back soon.

And maybe have a drink at Cosy Bay after lunch!

And maybe one more time with my parents, for supper.

And to walk around the place after eating.

While dad smokes,

while mum points out the schools of fishes in the waters to me,

while Feng enjoys the breeze,

and me peering out at the night sky,

thinking when we would come back here again.
