Lunch: Shortly after arriving in Singpore went to Prima Taste in CentrePoint Mall... satay bee hoon ("with extra cockles") and a chin-chow (grass jelly drink), split some popia (spring roll-like things), an order of chai sum (a type of chinese broccoli, whih I can't really differentiate from gai lan, maybe it's just another name for it?) with my mom. Tried a bit of her Hainanese chicken rice, too. The bee hoon wasn't quite what I was expecting, coming with a coconut-based gravy (ala laksa) rather than being the pan-fried "noodles and grease" concotion I was thinking of. Wasn't bad tho'... then again, the miniscule portions of the airline meals had left me less than super picky at that point.

Had a Qoo orange beverage when I got back to my parents' house, diluted with water (too sweet!) and some Buderim Ginger Bears.

Dinner: Went to the food court below Orchard Emerald Plaza on the way back from Mr. Tan's lecture on Chinese brush painting. Had some bee hoon, (this time more like what I was expecting) a calamansi juice, and some little fried fish (i think) thing which they called a salad, but really it was more like heavily breaded fish sticks with a mayonnaise based dressing on the side. I guess "salad" means "comes with mayo-based goo" rather than "comes with lettuce". (which was pictured on the sign, but failed to materialize in reality).
