Sunday spent
It was an impromptu, a sudden making decision for the four of us ( Daniel| Lynette| Zhiwei| Me) to head down to JB for supper. I get to know about this small trip at 9.30pm sharp. HAHA. As fast as I could, I grabbed my passport, packed in some clothes and made my journey down to Yishun to meet the clangs.
While waiting for my man to be home from Safti, I took every of a chance to rest because I know that they we will be heading home late. So yeah, The night life begun.
Riding a bike to JB was both love and I first try as we always heard how dangerous and messy it can be at Malaysia. But with the accompany of Daniel and Lynette who went in and out of the custom several times, we braved ourselves and really enjoyed our night life there. What a good experience I concluded.
I thought that the custom will be filled with many Malaysian as they would probably chose an unusual timing to enter in but it was unexpected that the traffic flow was smooth, not any honking/ beeping and any form of irritating signal over there. I thank god for this.
We rode through the custom safely and proceeded on to our supper hunt. We tailed behind Daniel's bike as he knew where is the suitable place for FOOD. So we dropped by this street full of FOOD. And the best part was the LOK LOK pulling cart found along the streets. I have been wanting to try JB LOK LOK and finally fulfilled it. But of course there were comments on how unhygienic they are when they deal with their food.
- The sticks were reused several times.
- You will catch flies flying around the food
It was said that those who have weak tummy shall avoid eating lok lok at JB. However, you can find one at Singapore. You may want to check out on Yina goh's blog review.

Apart on having their lok lok food, we also ordered Char kway teow| Wonton noodles| Abalone soup.
Not only having supper at JB, the main objective to be here was to fill up their petrol tank. Its so much cheaper compared to Singapore petrol of course. The guys got their bike polish clean and sparkling. Totally like a brand new bike.
After all things done which was like 4am, we biked back home and I simply lay flat on the bed till the next day 11am. So much of the night life that drained my whole body off.
In the late noon (3pm), both my man and I decided to go for a good run because we didn't want to laze our Sunday doing nothing. Before he booked in, we ran from his house to lower seletar reservoir (our usual main route when we run together) afterwhich we ran around aimlessly, without counting how much kilometers we have past by but im pretty sure I have gotten rid alot of calories by the amount of sweats I gave out. Hehehe.
Really a beautiful sight of scenery and a best running pal with me on a Sunday noon.
So yeah, rung up the couple and have dinner with them together at Arnold's chicken. Finally a proper food after all the cleansing for the day.
When it comes to fast food fried chicken, I am sure most of us have eaten or heard of KFC, Popeyes and Texas Chicken. What about Singapore's very own fast food; Arnold's Fried Chicken? Arnold's Fried Chicken specialises in serving fried chicken, has been around for more than 25 years and is one of the first Singapore fast food joint to be certified Halal.
When we came to this outlet, we were supposed to line up and wait for our turn to order. When it was our turn to order, the first thing that i observed was that the lady at the counter was already giving us a black face. We took a few minutes to really think what to order ( that's because we didn't know what is available on the menu) and she gave us a look that she is super impatient. We ordered the 5 pax of chicken to share.
And had friendly competition of chunking 15 pieces of chicken into our mouth.

The Spring Chicken was served pipping hot. The chicken was fried perfectly! On the outside, it (skin) was crispy. On the inside, it was very tender, soft and juicy! It was a surprise to me that all the parts of the chicken was so tender and soft. Normally even for KFC, there will be certain parts of the chicken that are hard and dry. But this was not the case for Arnold's Fried Chicken. How did they do it? However, in terms of the marination; usage of herbs and spices, KFC's eleven herbs and spices fare better. The mashed potato and fries are average, nothing to shout about.
Overall, I quite like the chicken at Arnold's Fried Chicken. Now I know why everyone has been raving about this place! If you are coming here, you must order their chicken! So soft, so tender, so juicy and it is freshly cooked.
