ESE Outing @ The Central

Time seems to fly by us so fast. Just a moment ago, we are there in Year 1, blur and wondering where is the place for us to go for lessons in such a big place called NUS. A new found independence, from printing lecture notes and crossing faculties for our pre-allocated and bid modules. Then in a blink of an eye, year 1 ended and we are promoted to Year 2.

.

There is some change of our class roster, people come and go, though the majority of us stayed together. While we are now more accustomed to the "hectic" engineering life, we can still find time blasting our dear professor at his good recommendation of urging us to take LSM1401. As usual, while we sloughed through all our hard-to-understand modules, Year 2 came to an end.

.

Year 3 was a year where we do not really see each other. Most of us are either on internship at some companies serving them as cheap labourers, or enjoying away at overseas exchange. Evening modules was a new-found wonder as we discovered that actually, they are rather slack and generally do not require much time input to study it.

.

Then came Year 4, with a welcoming module entitled "Design Project", asking the impossible out of us. While we bang our heads and squeezed our brain juice dry, by the time it was done, the semester is already over. Before we re-immersed ourselves again into our FYP, let us come out, enjoy, relax, recharge~

The Manhattan Fish Market @ The Central

Alaskan Pollock and Rice
After working so hard for the last semester, I thought it was time to give myself a little treat, at least eat something that is decent. From its menu, it was described that the fish is in high demand due to its texture and taste. Sounds nice, at least they phrased it so. When my order arrived, I was initially quite shock at the generous serving of fish they give (the fish really really really looks gigantic). Initial contact with the fish was not bad: crispy hard exterior with a really soft and creamy interior, living up to the menu description. Thumbs up for it! Price wise was quite acceptable at only $11.90. The garlic rice that comes with it was not bad (you can ordered chips if you don't want to eat rice): soft and full of garlic favour. The only complaint that I can think of is that they are lacking in the department of smell. The whole meal was quite tasty, but they do not smell nice enough to get my appetite going and wanting for more.

For the setup of the shop, I find that it was just a little too squeezy. I had to literally lift up my bag to my shoulder height to squeeze out of the place. I understand that they are trying to pack as many patron into the shop as possible, but I would appreciate it if more space is given to the customer to walk around.

After the dinner, it was time for some photo taking session, some walking around to burn off the extra calories that we had just eaten, hanging around for a while before closing the night and heading home.
