I've been thinking of bringing dear to Marina Barrage for a picnic and flying kite session for quite awhile, but haven't been able to do so due to the time wasted in searching for a decent picnic basket in this sunny island. To be honest, to find a decent picnic basket with good wine bottle holder and utensils in it is gonna cost you average about S$100+, which is clearly not something I am willing to invest in since I really don't find the need to considering that I haven't been drinking for quite a long long time anyway.
But good thing is that after such a long time of research, I finally know that there are shops in Arab Street selling the picnic baskets at a cheaper price which is attractive enough to get me to head down there. And so after about 5 minutes of walking distance from Bugis MRT Station, we finally arrived at Arab Street. Lucky we came over here about 6.35pm, because most of the shops are closed by 7pm as a huge portion of the area will be converted to a food paradise for the tourists and locals as well.
Finally we managed to find this shop along Arab Street nearer to North Bridge Road where the owner sells a number of baskets but limited quantity in certain designs. Managed to got mine at S$40.00 which is a huge difference from what others are selling online or at shops.
I guess the only setback for this type of picnic basket is that there is no "hook lock" at the opening area of the basket. Other than that, I think its worth every dollar getting it. It look pretty nice and it's sufficient for a picnic session of 2 to 4 persons.
Had our dinner over at Laksania over at Bugis Plus :) I just love the Laksa Goreng so I think it's really a pity that a number of it's outlets have since closed down, especially the one at Serangoon NEX Mall. Hopefully the owner will continue to operate its business, even if it's left with just one outlet :)
