Phuket Trip Part 1

I went for a 3D2N short trip in Phuket after grabbing a cheap accommodation deal from WOTIF at Evason Phuket & Bon Island Resort for USD$57 per night, which was about SGD$66 per night. The resort is located at the Southern end of Phuket at Rawai beach area. The resort itself also has a private island which you can visit via their free ferry shuttle.

A peaceful and scenic view welcomes you when stepping into the resort.


The resort has 4 pavilions built above the pond serving as reception area.



A towel,  welcome drink and tibits upon checking in.


The scenic view every morning for breakfast.



Interesting "Do not disturb" door sign.



The resort also has its own vegetable farm too.

Yi Shi Jia Wanton Mee @ Kovan Food Centre

If you live in Hougang you probably know about this popular Wanton Mee stall. Long queues were always spotted at the stall especially in the morning. After the renovation, all the food stalls were relocated to the same level and Yi Shi Jia Wanton Mee still retains the same unit number.

Yi Shi Jia Wanton Mee offers 4 versions of Wanton Mee catering to the different taste buds. They have spicy, ketchup, soy sauce and soup versions. I had the spicy Wanton Mee which came with a decent amount of char siew and greens. The wanton which was not captured in the photo had tasty minced pork fillings and silky wanton skin. Overall it was a good old school plate of Wanton Mee that brought back childhood memories.
