Best Chicken Pie in Singapore - Oven Marvel

I'm not a food blogger, but good things are meant to be shared! Recently, my friend introduced me to Oven Marvel, a store selling chicken pies, muffins and curry puffs at Sunshine Plaza, and I'm totally hooked to its chicken pie!

I'm not a person who would sacrifice my calorie count with snacks or bites in between meals, but this chicken pie is something that I found it sooo hard to resist! Typical commercially sold chicken pie are usually with hard skin & dry interior, but the one from Oven Marvel is vastly different! The soft, fluffy skin with generous chicken filling makes it sooo delicious that 1 piece is never enough. It is bake on the spot, and runs out pretty fast. You'll have to wait for the next batch if you missed it! 

Do try it out in your next visit to Bugis!

Travel to the countryside - Bollywood Veggies

My friend and I decided to take a break from the concrete jungle on 1 Saturday afternoon and we paid a visit to Bollywood Veggies. We drove there for the sake of convenience, but there is a Kranji Countryside Express Bus from Kranji MRT station which you can take. It was a nice drive there, away from the city, passing by Kranji Reservoir and different farms before reaching Bollywood Veggies.

After paying an entrance fee of $2 each, we started exploring the area. There are 2 available trails - a 10 mins or a 30 minutes trail, and the trails are well marked so that you'll not lose your direction. Do remember to apply sun block and mosquito repellent before embarking on the trail. We followed the 30 minutes trail and passed by different plants and trees, seeing the food and fruits that we are familiar with right from their source. Each plants and trees are marked with descriptions too to deepen our understanding of the plant or the tree.

After a nice walk, we had our dinner at Poison Ivy Bistro. The special of the day is their famous nasi lemak, and of course we did not want to miss it, and we also ordered a chilli kang kong as a side dish. Most of the ingredients were self-grown and freshly picked, and it was a fulfilling meal for both of us. You can also purchase some self-grown spices, freshly made bread, pots of greens etc from the bistro.

There is also a store selling handicraft next to the restaurant, and the handicrafts, although hand-made, are nicely priced. I bought a bag in support.

All and all, it was a well spent Saturday to experience a different side of Singapore.
