Laksa Laksa! and a VIP visit

Coming back home, the one thing which i had to absolutely have is the Arts Canteen Laksa.

You can see why everybody loves the Laksa Yong Tau Fu stall. Just check out the canteen awards its gotten over the years. They've been in the papers before, even Sunday Times voted it as one of the "Campus Superstars"

I've had it a couple of times since i've gotten back. But everytime they always ran out of fried wantons. Laksa is just not Laksa without the fried wantons. So i went back earlier yesterday during lunch time to have lunch with fellow dgnbters (they too were going ga-ga over Laksa, after abstaining from it for most of the semester).

Next week, the Arts Canteen will begin its massive 8 month renovation. Which explains why everyone was flocking there to have their last meals. We had to queue to pick our pieces and then join another "collection queue" while we waited for the food to be cooked.

Finally, Laksa Yong Tau Fu. With my fried wantons and kang kong... HAPPINESS! My last bowl of Laksa cost me $3.10, almost $1 more than my usual!


On the way back, the road closures at NUS were just starting. Coz of a "VIP visit to NUS"

They've been pretty secretive with who the VIP was and where the VIP was going around Spore, only announcing on the day itself which roads would be affected with road closures. But of course everyone knew who it was...

So no cars were allowed near the UCC. Instead they all had to turn at the roundabout. Which meant that all the bus services were disrupted.


Bleh. I ended up walking to Kent Ridge Terminal to take a bus to City Hall.
