Where's the Sun?

I am so not loving the monsoon season this year. It feels like forever that I've seen the sun and the windy weather has been oh-so-cold! For the past four days, it's just been gloomy, cloudy and everything ugly in weather terms. I don't think I've remembered Singapore ever being this cold before. We are definitely feeling the impact of years of neglect on Mother Earth. And yeah I know, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. Sometimes I forget that Singapore is located on the Equator and is a tropical country. I even wait for the winter season to come to our usually sunny island. So can you imagine how ridiculously cold the weather's been here?

Anyway, there's been nothing much to talk about here besides the weather then. So i'll just end with something yummy that I had yesterday for brunch. For some reason, blame it on the cold weather, I woke up with a growling tummy yesterday morning. So, I made myself a huge bowl of Froot Loops, which I gulped down before taking my daughter to her ballet lesson. And the Chubby Hubby decided that we should walk to Katong after dropping Deziree off, as we needed to get something framed up for the house. And once there, this is what we stumbled upon:



The Chubby Hubby claimed that this was one of the best roast and BBQ pork stall in the area and he was right! The stall is in the corner of Lor Stangee and East Coast Road at Carlton Restaurant. Although I was still full from the cereal, yet I couldn't resist ordering a plate too. The BBQ pork was so juicy and the roast pork was the way I like it, tender meat topped with crispy skin (*drool*). The whole thing cost $12, which included some wantan soup and two plates of rice. Needless to say, after that, I didn't eat again until dinner time. Having two breakfasts in a day is probably not going to be a regular thing for me.
