Dinner for yesterday + King's Albert Park
Dinner for yesterday: Korean food at some Korean restaurant near King's Albert Park. 13 complimentary dishes with free refills - they are those you see in small white bowls and include things like anchovies, kimchi, sweet potato, lettuce-in-spicy-sauce, and other less appetising vegetables.
Main dishes (no free refills for those) we ordered were fairly generic dishes: BBQ pork, Ginseng chicken soup, and some beef in sweet sauce. Nothing particularly Korean, though we did have some unique noodles and rice-with-some-sauce. All in all I didn't really like it because most dishes taste too plain. For example the chicken soup had very little chicken flavour, and you need to add a copious amount of salt to have it taste more appetising. I suspect it's more a reflection of Korean culture than it is the shop's lack of culinary skill.
By the way, the food entries you find on this blog are not meant to be reviews of any sort. Hence a lack of effort to find the exact name of the dishes here, as well as the name of the restaurant. Hence you see that the food here are already partially eaten. In fact, one shouldn't view them as food entries; they're more like: here's what I did today.
Here's what I did yesterday too: I took a walk around King's Albert Park, since it is usually the case I arrive earlier than my friends. I used to think King's Albert Park as just a Macdonalds building. When I went there I saw some greenery behind and I thought it was just a space for cars to park. And then I saw a small path leading to an enclave of landed properties.
I like the peaceful landed-property neighbourhoods in Singapore. I particularly like the houses buried deep within those neighbourhoods. There's a sense of cosiness, of isolation. It's always fantastic to walk along long stretches of such tranquil roads in the evening light.
