We went to Balestier yesterday to check out some tiles and lightings. Have not been there for ages, in fact I can't even remember when was the last time I was at that area.

Had lunch at 黎记 chicken rice. Supposed to be quite famous but the chicken rice is not fantastic at all. 天天 and the one we always eat at Tanjong Katong Road is so much better.

Balestier has many lightings shop.

Look at the number of chandaliers.
We had to walk to the end of Balestier Road to see the tiles shops. Walked and walked but did not see any. I know that it was near the famous tau sar piah shop. Anyway, we wanted to buy some back as well so we continued walking on. (I was more keen on getting the tau sar piah then see the tiles lol). Finally, we reached Loong Huat coffeeshop-where the stall is located. My mum's friend used to run a mixed rice stall here as well.

The aunties were making the tau sar piah behind. All were fresh from the oven, yums.

We bought 5 sweet and 5 salted ones. Took a break to rest our legs before continuing our research again.
That's the boss, saw his pictures taken with many celebs on the wall.

After our break, we went to see more lights and still no tiles in sight. Saw the one G told us but the shop was under renovation. The shop-Soon Bee Huat actually has another showroom at Tanjong Katong-it is so near to Kiat's place as we will pass by the shop everytime we exit from ECP. Since we thought we were going to Balestier, we will check out the outlet but who knows it is under renovation.
Saw a couple of lights that suited our theme, will KIV till further notice.
Tired!
