Eating in Singapore 3 - Jo-Ann and I in Bugis Street

We called upon our dentist for some clean and polish and then Jo-Ann and I went into town and wandered around. We went to the Goddess of Mercy temple on Waterloo Street where there were many people praying and getting their fortune told with fortune sticks. I hope their prayers were answered.

Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple (Simplified Chinese: 观音堂佛祖庙) is a traditional Chinese temple situated at Waterloo Street in Singapore. The temple is of significance to the Chinese in Singapore, and is known to bring worshipers good luck after praying to the Kuan Yin (观音) Bodhisattva, the Goddess of Mercy.

Eating again, you might say. Yes, we went to a dumpling restaurant called South Lake. It is all dumplings!! We have cold tofu with preserved radishes, green vegetable buns, small dragon dumplings, prawn and crab dumpling deep fried with bread crumbs ( this is interesting, soup inside the dumpling oozed out when you take the first bite), and hot red bean buns.

Good day to both of you. I have no idea as to your whereabouts, due to the lack of some sort of reply. I have also noted that you have still not updated your BLOG. Or have you decided to shack up in some out of the way village? It's either that,or you are actually on the Run from the Fuzz and have managed to located a safe and secure Pozzie, over there. I have sent a couple of very short & to the point emails. Do let me know the situation. If I could compare your outdated BLOG... Imagine reading a Harry Potter Book and it suddenly stops somewhere in the middle, thus leaving you Hanging.
