best mexican food in singapore

we haven't tried too many mexican places here. i've only been to the one at dempsey hill. steve's been down to one at clark quay. honestly, i didn't even want to go here that night. why drive all this way, just to get disappointing food? ask steve. good food = happy mamma. i'm glad he dragged me to cha cha cha's at holland village.
first off, they had this:i hadn't even tasted the food, but at the very least knew i was going to have an enjoyable dinner. even on mute, it worked like a charm.

the chips and salsa were major. the perfect amount of heat, salsa-ing on my tongue. and the chips were fresh!
very unorthodox, we were able to get some salsa to go.
(not a very appealing photo, but only shown because) they had white meat. pure white meat chicken in a tasty chimi!
homemade churros. but eat quick! the ice cream melts fast.
we have found our mexican food heaven. the world is a good place.

tay guan heng

when i pick ty up from school, we don't have a lot of time to do things. i never want to waste the opportunity to go check something out when i have the car, so i found out about this cute little shop about 5 minutes away from ty's school.

handmade from joss incense or cinnamon bark dough, this is a dying art. the bark is playdough like, and they make the most intricate and beautiful figures.

they are known popularly for their nativity sets. as my holiday decorations are pretty sparce, i decided to get one. i'll post a better picture when i get it, just in time for christmas.
but they also make many other replicas from Chinese mythology and opera.
they even let ty and rhett make some christmas ornaments.


a great place, with friendly people and a memento from singapore that i'm sure to love for years.

the pottery jungle

it seriously is a jungle of pottery. you first drive down this back road to these gates. when you go in, there are pots and pots all stacked up neatly everywhere.



as you can see, this is an awesome place to get cheeeeaaaap pottery and vases. i got most of those huge pots for around S$20-30. and i didn't even try to bargain. the list price was such a steal!





i've got some re-potting to do, but i am in love with this place. i can't wait to go back.
