April 28, 2007: Thursday evening, while passing by Scotts, I thought I'd go to Isetan Scotts to buy some salmon and pumpkin. I took the elevator to the 4th level, and entered from Scotts Shopping Centre. I was surprised to see Enzo Angiolini on sale. Although I like this brand very much, I am often resigned to not buying any of its shoes because of my dainty feet. This time, however, I was fortunate to find a fitting pair of sandals. It was quite a good deal-- SGD 65.90, considering the usual prices E.A. shoes go for.
While at the household level, I recalled seeing on the Isetan newsletter about a German frying pan going really cheap, from SGD 79 to 29 and decided to 'hunt' for it. The brand was nowhere in sight. I spotted it later on at a corner in the most inconspicuous counter which was blocked.
I used it this morning to make two sunnyside-ups, the sole reason for buying the pan anyway. Truly it made the greatest eggs (see: served with traditional British recipe baked beans SGD 1.50).
In the afternoon, after renewing my library membership card, I joined the line that was formed at Clementi Coffee Shop behind NTUC, Clementi, to get five of Tan's Tu-tu Kueh (SGD 2). Without any smile or acknowledgment, the owner rudely threw the bag of cakes at me. Although the kuehs really are lipsmacking good, and a break from western cakes, I'd try not to patronize his store again.
Instead the next time I go there, I'd like to check out the 'no pork, no fat' fresh popiah store beside him that's drawing a longer line. The lady chef appeared composed, and the store looks like it deserves an 'A' for hygiene, although I couldn't see any sign displayed.
