The Last of 2015 - Uncle Leong Seafood, Ang Mo Kio GRC & Sengkang SMCCountdown 2016

This shall be my last post on 2015 and the only event which I have not yet blogged about 2015 will be the wedding. I've lots to write about, just simply procrastinating. But anyway I'll get down to it really soon #hopefully

On the last day of 2015, it was spend mainly on cycling and eating to welcome 2016. Not forgetting we waited for the fireworks too :)

We started cycling around the evening time from Sengkang Riverside Park till Uncle Leong Seafood(Punggol) for our dinner. We didn't start cycling earlier because it was raining heavily till the late afternoon. 

I went in advance to rent our bikes around early afternoon and the bike rental owners passed me the keys to the bike locks (Since I don't need it that early). So it's pretty own-time-own-target to collect your bikes and return it. We rented the bike from the bike rental shop at Anchorvale CC (Ground Floor). I can't really remember what's the name of it, but I did sms in to enquire about the bikes before going down to make payment and etc.

Took the compact ones for myself and SIL.

The normal mountain bike for Derp and BIL.

Btw, the bike rental cost per bike was $35 in our case for the usage of close to 7 hours.

We started cycling around 6 plus. And yes I've to get used to cycling again because I almost forgot how to ride a bicycle. Took sometime for me to finally recap and made it to Punggol safely.

A #welfie while on the way there and before the heavy rain start pouring down.

We seeked shelter at Punggol Waterway for quite sometime due to the heavy rain at around 8pm.

In the end, we finally reached Uncle Leong Seafood close to 9pm. There wasn't much queue by then so we didn't wait too long for our seats. To our surprise, it was really crowded at that area that night, with lots of people prawn-ing, playing pool and etc.

Finally here after a long night..

As you can tell, crabs is their signature but nope we didn't order any crab dishes that night as we just had Melben's crab not long ago. 

Fried Rice (Can't remember if it's yang chou fried rice anot) 

We polished off this dish within 5 mins after it was served because it was too good and we were famished haha! Taste better than the one we had at White Restaurant

Uncle Leong Signature Seafood Hor Fun

Thai Style Chicken

Claypot Toufu (They were really generous with their ingredients)

三黄苋菜 - Chinese Spinach with Eggs

Basically, all their food was really good and affordable. For this amount of food we get, the bill came up to roughly 60 bucks.

And some couple pics..

After the fulfilling dinner, it's time to head back to Sengkang Riverside Park for the fireworks. In the mean time, we went to return our bikes first. 

Forgot to mention, there were lots of mishap with the bicycles along the way to and fro Punggol. First, my bicycle's chain came off while I was still getting used to the bicycle. Next, Derp's bicycle's pedal came out which cause us much inconvenience to get the bike back to the rental area. 

The screws came off and we had trouble finding it in the dark and while we were doing so, SIL and I got sand flies bites which lasted few weeks and left us scars :( Can't help but to feedback to the bicycle rental place how bad their bikes condition were the very next day. 

#welfie while waiting..

The fireworks came from the location same as when the fireworks were set off during the National Day celebration so we roughly know where to stand to get the best view of the fireworks. 

Sooner or later, we kept capturing photos which turn out to be smokes/flames only instead of fireworks lol. 

Last #welfie of the night to end 2015 and welcome 2016 :) 

Glad to be doing something different to welcome this new year and having run so many times to Punggol area, this is the first time we cycled there. Indeed aonther new experience for all of us!
