You may be thinking. Juz wad is Jalan Raye? Well, it is a malay custom whereby friends/relatives make house visits. Somewhat like CNY where you go visit ur grampy etc...And there are lots of food to go along with.
Once again the NPCC cliques met up for jalan raya. Its an effort that we made to meet up annually which is gd! The numbers getting smaller due to various reasons. Yea we were 10 last time.
Taken frm year 2006

bt its nt going to get smaller. *cross fingers* So who do we have. Erm we have Raudah, Sarah, Hayati, Roslinah & Nasrun.
Meet up 12p.m. at bedok interchange. Only Raudah & Sarah was there. As usual the 2 other "princess" was late again. Perhaps the train has to be evacuated to serve those royal highnesses first thus the delay. lol. jk
Since, its so warm and they are wearing till the sleeve. why not go sit at macdonald and have some ice cream.

& taking photos.

Raudah & Sarah


And hayati & roslinah came.

Our 1st Stop, Nasrun House
We took bus 87 to Hougang. While waiting for Nasrun coz everyone juz don believe I noe the way to his hse. Why cant they juz believe me? haiz though the last time I went was 1 yr ago bt its still clear in my mind. Oh well.
While waiting

Nas came and led us to his hse. Was feeling hungry coz I noe theres gonna be many food to eat hence abstain frm food in the morn.
When we reached, grab some tidbits to munch on.

Wanted to make it the last stop coz its in Pasir Ris bt of course major thumb down response. Tk 53 to Pasir Ris.

WHile her mum was cooking, grab some snacks again.


Tis taste like coffee cookie...One bite sends the aroma raveling within the mouth. nice.

Our 3rd Stop, Raudah's House
Tk 15 then 60 to her hse.
Ok so heres the Star Snack , the pineapple meltz, i named it.
One bite, no don even bite juz put it in ur mouth and let the enzymes do the job, let them melt it in your mouth. The snack tat requires no toothwork. Amazing!

Raudah's mum cooked Super Huge Potatoes! Didnt noe such potatoes exist.

With a spoon of the soup, the potatoe is a mizture of sweet and sourness plus its fully soaked means it absorb the essence of the soup base. yum.

Bt i was too full to have another serving. haha

While waiting for the bus

And I guess der's some sort of fatigue in everyone of us at tat point of time. Coz Jalan Raye as the name suggest itself means u go to jalan which means walk. And we've walk quite a lot.
When we reach, I notice the white orchid which looks stunning. Took a shot bt sarah is so ready to be shot with the orchid. lol.
And the flora tat I'm talking about.



Cheers! For each of us who made an effort to meet up!

Ros's mum bght Kueh Tu Tu according to chinese bt its called Gula Malacca. Coz the fillings is sweet.

Tis is Beehoon Goreng Combined with Mee Goreng. Prefer the Beehoon coz very full alr which Beehoon is considered bite size compared to the latter.
