It was Labor’s day. We went to Gaylang to have lunch. When we got to Singapore, we have heard of Gaylang due to the delicious food and prostitutes. Of course, we went to Gaylang for the delicious food. I think that we have achieved our goals.
We went along Gaylang finding something that was appetizing. Many kinds of restaurants were standing on both sides of the roads such as hot pots. When we were discussing what to eat, we suddenly saw a slogan which show the way to the restaurant called “Lan Zhou La Mian”, a kind of noodles. It was one of my most favorite foods in my hometown. I always went there with my friends. After coming to Singapore, we have searched many places for it. However, we failed. So, you can imagine that how excited we were. All of us took photos with the slogan to memorize this moment.
We followed the instruction and found the restaurant soon. We were a little disappointed, because we could not smell the smell of the noodles which could be smelled as soon as we entered the restaurant of my hometown. We still decided to try it. It was so good that the names of the noodles were the same as those in my hometown. Each of us asked for a bow of noodle and some pickles. When we waited for the noodles, we recalled the delicious noodles that we had in China. About ten minutes later, the noodles have been ready. We observe that the appearance and the smell were quite different from that of China. We were completely disappointed. However, generously speaking, if we didn’t compare this to the one in China, this noodle was also the most delicious one that we had in Singapore. So, I was satisfied and had a good lunch.
When we went to the bus station, we saw a restaurant called “Yong He soybean milk” which was also famous in China. We entered the restaurant and asked for a cup of ice soybean milk. To our surprise, it was almost the same as that of my hometown.
I think we were so lucky that we could find something we had in China. No matter whether it was delicious or not, it could also remind us the delicious food of my hometown.

ReplyDeleteThat was a day well-spent, getting to savour the taste of dishes from your hometown. I'm sure this will be your favourite hangout when you have the time. Ask around and be adventurous to try out other places for more surprising find. Good luck in your gastronomic journey!
ReplyDeletewhen I saw the picture of Lan Zhou noodle, I can strongly feel I'm hungry again!! God, I supposed to lose weight, but food, especially delicious food is so attractive! I think as a food fan, taking adventures to seek delicious food in Singapore is very important, maybe next time you can show me how to find food in Gaylang which has wonderful Hot Pot as well.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, my friends and i go 'night cycling' around singapore with the mission of tasting good food from both corners of singapore. If you are a food fan too, perhaps you may try out this idea someday =)
