Charcoal BBQ chicken at home

I have always wanted to have charcoal BBQ chicken. Usually for such craving ends me up at the beach, doing small BBQ on my own with my own style accompanied by my siblings. So sian..bcos if i wanna go BBQ at the beach, i have to take leave from work,and not always that my siblings are free.

But tadaaa...feel sian no more! *wink*wink*

Now i do it at the comfort of my own home. But of course, minus the beach, the seawater smell, the sand, the sun and the children playing by the beach. Even tho i missed all those, but i killed my craving. Kheheheee...

Everything are done the same...charcoal, BBQ pit, marination. And the results that i got..THE SAME as always! Aigoo...Aigoo...i loved charcoal BBQ chicken!

For those who wants the recipe of the marination, pls visit my blog issue

If u wanna do camping on a weekday, u need to have a permit. No permit is required for a weekends and PHs camping. Park rangers will be doing his rounding to ensure that valid permit are given out to the set up tents. For issual of permits, its as easy as pitching up ur tent and the park rangers will approach u to scan ur IC. Once scanning is completed, a slip will be issued to u, and u need to attached it to ur tent. Scanning of IC done on daily basis.

During school holiday period, u can see that the beach is so packed with campers and it feels like there's party going around on most parts of the beach. But these are seen mostly on area where the BBQ pits are. Towards the end of the beach, u can see another "world" of campers. These are those of private and quiet campers who pitch their tent for more privacy and quieter atmosphere. But still enjoying the sounds of waves, the smell of sea and the amazing sunset and sunrise.

Try to come early during school hols (esp weekends camping) i.e before evening 5pm to get a very good spot if u wish to pitch a tent cos during sch hols, there's too many campers. U'll end up getting spot too far away from the toilet if u're late.

There's only one toilet in the park. Beside urinal purposes, there's shower facilities inside the toilet as well as outside the toilet. There's also a small shop in front of the toilet; selling drinks, titbits, soap, shampoo and etc. Toilet usage is free of charge.

If u and ur family planned to camp for a few days and wants more than just what Changi Beach could offer, u can visit Pulau Ubin (the island just opposite Changi Beach) during the day, and return back to ur tent in the evening. But dont forget to bring all ur valuables.

Labrador Park

Place : Labrador Park
Where : Along Labrador Villa Road off Pasir Panjang Road
When : Mar 2008

A place with a sense of historical and nature lover. Labrador Park is the only rocky shore left in Singapore. Its accessible for recreation, education and scientific research.

To get there, u can take SBS service 408 fm HarbourFront Interchange. Bus services available only on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays from 11 am to 9 pm. The service departs the interchange every 30 minutes.

My visit to Labrador Park is rather disappointing because i expected more than just to see some historical figurines and the rocky beach. Nevertheless, been here means I've explored another part of Spore! Been there, done that. kheheheee....

Other Info:
Activities that u can do here..BBQ, jogging, walk thru the nature trails, cycling, fitness corner, children's playground.

One thing that i always hold onto; wenever sometg bad happen to me, i'll nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos in times of goodness and happiness i nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos everything that happened, happens for a reason.
