At 1515H (3:15 pm Singapore time), I arrived at HarbourFront, Singapore ferry pier after finished my journey at Batam. I got some rest in HarbourFront Centre shopping complex to think, what should I do, because my flight (TigerAir TR2468) boarding gate only will open at 2105 (9:05 pm). I had 5 hour plus more time to spare.

So I just remembered that I did not had opportunity to taste Red Bone on my Singapore visit at 08th March 2014 ago. Therefore, I took a decision to go to Kampung Glam to taste the Red Bone. So, I needed to ride MRT from HarbourFront MRT Station to Bugis MRT Station where the nearest MRT station to Kampung Glam. I needed to transit from Northeast Lane which purple in colour to East West Lane which in green colour at Outram Park MRT Station.

I arrived at Bugis MRT Station and took Exit B to Raffles Hospital at Victoria Street. After passed Golden Landmark shopping complex, I turned to right into Arab Street to heading North Bridge Road and then when reached at traffic lighted junction of Arab Street and North Bridge Road, I turned left. Here, we will find Zam-zam Restaurant first, then Victory Restaurant and at the end of the row, I arrived to the destination which was Al-Tasneem Restaurant.

This restaurant actually opposite of Sultan Mosque, Kampung Glam, Singapore's mihrab and just near gate 8 and 1 of the mosque. When I arrived there, around 1625 (4:25 pm), I asked whether the red bone or tulang merah in Malay been sold. Alhamdulillah, the owner said it has, the I ordered a Red Bone small plate, a glass of milked iced tea and a glass of iced water.

After 2 minutes, my ordered drinks arrived, and simultaneously Asar prayer call been heard from Sultan Mosque. At first, I want to pray with Sultan Mosque jammah but the I just remembered that I did not have my Zohor prayer, plus I intended  to perfom jama' ta'khir prayer (combined Zohor and Asar prayer together) while on the ferry journey from Batam Centre to HarbourFront.

Finally, at 1635 (4:35 pm), my meal had arrived... RED BONE... Flamely red... But do not be fooled... It not a hot meal...

Red Bone is made from sheep bone which cooked with special spices. It is a special meal in Singapore and only can be found at certain Indian Muslim Restaurant especially at Kampung Glam/Arab Street or Little India/Kandang Kerbau area. Some said that at Golden Mile shopping complex food court, is among the best, may on next trip to Singapore, I will taste it, insya Allah. At Johor Bahru also got this meal especially at Sentral/Meldrum area but could not be compared with Singapore one.

In my dish which is small plate Red Bone, there were five sheep bone with marrow, some cord vein and some meat. The gravy very special. It came with some slices of bread to be dipped with gravy. I shocked when I received this meal, can I finish it? But I have to finish it because after this I will fly not ride in a bus or drive my own vehicle.

The taste, perrrkhhh, nobody can be told... The I selfied as bellow...

BOOONNNEEEE EAAAATTIIIIINGGG!!! HAAUUMMMM!!!

At last, about 45 minutes later, I finished my Red Bone. Alhamdulillah. Very graced. Insya Allah, I will come here again. 

About SG$11.20 (+-RM29.12) been damaged on this visit, alhamdulillah. Even though on RM value, it was expensive, but it was worthwhile... Insya Allah, I will come here or other restaurant to have it again or lamb soup...Nyum nyummm...

Selepas itu saya ke Masjid Sultan untuk menunaikan kewajipan saya yang belum tertunai.
