After a long day (and week) of work, we went to Parisilk to buy the TV and dishwasher. This shop has been recommended to us by Jin and Wolfram had already checked with them via email that their price were indeed cheaper.
Unfortunately for us the dishwasher was not in stock so we have to wait until the end of the month to buy it. In the meantime Wolfram kindly offered to do the dishes in our new apartment. I have the shop-assistant as witness.
We did buy a new TV. The 46 inches TV, not the 55, despite Wolfram begging for it. We might have scored a big apartment compared to the standards, BUT the living room is not big enough to justify such a big TV. Not to mention that our budget has disappeared into the wedding rings.
Once this was done we explored the streets of Holland Village looking for a place where we could have dinner. Holland Village is very popular with expats in Singapore and it shows. Instead of being surrounded by Asian looking people, suddenly it was more a 60 expats / 40 Asians. I have to say that after now six weeks in Singapore it felt weird. I'm glad we are not getting a place in this area as it felt too touristic for me.
One can find pretty much any type of food in Holland Village, but tonight I wanted pizza. I have to confess that every now and then I get tired of eating rice. I am not complaining, so far the food we had was very good or even excellent, but every now and then I feel like eating like at home.
We decided for Crusty pizza. This place serves pizza "a la plancha" with very creative combination of ingredients on top. We tried, a bit skeptical. It turned out to be very good. And even better, they deliver and they have another restaurant in our new neighborhood. Perfect, we might have found our pizza deliver.
After a nice night out in Holland Village we decided to try to come there every Friday after work and try all the restaurants. After all it's 2km away from the office and on a direct subway line to our new home. I'm looking forward to trying a new restaurant next week.
