So apparently I went to order takeaways when I was with #yahyahpayaya and R as I was rushing from places to places. To be honest, I’m thankful for a hands-on business partner and someone who can read my mind (even though R will shoot me like @#$%^&).

And it just happened that I was in Ang Mo Kio and was chancing upon this stall where I was pondering over the decade changes at Jubilee Square. And I remember BFF shared about their flagship store located in Toa Payoh previously.

Anyway since there ain’t much of the vegetarian choices, I went to try out the cuisine since I never had the chance to eat at their flagship stall.

aa3 — And MAX SEE is the in-house bubble tea brand (looks Taiwanese to me)

aa4 — The seating area and a few more tables outside (not shown in this picture)

Location wise.

To me, it’s quite convenient as it’s just 5 minutes walk from Ang Mo Kio MRT (right opposite Ang Mo Kio MRT Station).

Food wise.

Superb. Anything with Vegetarian YTF and Bak Kut Teh will triumph in taste. And Veggie House has both.

Cost wise.

Reasonable for a cafe-tier pricing. Portion seems ok.

Verdict: I think it’s unfair to judge based on the above as I am rushing for time. But the YTF tasted yummy and the soup is decent and light about 2 hours after when I bought the food. Might want to go there for a second time to give a better judgment.

Comments below if you had makan there before, otherwise stay tune to my update.

Ok, so last weekend on 24 Aug, I decide to go for an impromptu roadtrip to J.B with the 4 girls, BFF and R. Was telling my family about the VEP registration that is gonna kick in with effect from 1st October 2019 (after many delays since years ago, and hopefully no more delays O_O) and realised I didn’t share this info with R. LOL I think all my friends gave up on me liao. Especially A.

So we crossed Singapore customs and R told me that we will need to top up the ‘Touch & Go’ card over at Malaysia Customs. *Awkward silence* As far as I can remember, alot of my friends had been telling me that the Touch & Go (T&G) top-up counters had ceased operations since Aug 2018 and it’s by sheer luck if we happen to see the lady with the handy top-up machine walking around at JB customs back in Mid Jul 2019. So when we approached the Malaysia customs after a 2.5hours jam on Saturday, I asked the Immigration Officer (IO) where can we top up the T&G card. To my horror, she says there is no available means to top up at the customs and the only way out is to borrow another’s. Like what. So R tried his luck to walk around to locate a counter or that lady with the handy machine. Guess what, NOPE. The IO was right, so we had to borrow from another’s. Thankfully, there was a kind lady who loaned us hers and we paid her for the usage.

Anyway, with the above, there is indeed NO way that one can top-up at the Malaysia customs. One can only top-up at petrol kiosks, convenience stores and also, at the Watsons located at LG of KSL City Mall (I know right, I was kind of amazed when we are asking around on where can we top up the T&G card. Please note that there are 2 Watsons outlets at KSL City Mall. Only the one at lower floor at LG not G, can assist with the top up) and in any case, if you need the T&G card prior to enter Malaysia, you can only get it via Carousell or you can try to download the T&G app via here (since you will have to download this soon for VEP registration).

Like finally every single country is trying to embrace e-payment. Not a bad move though. Ok, on another hand, with the Touch & Go card incident last weekend, it prompted me further to check out the VEP information.

Thank god for a collective community’s effort. I happened to chance upon this entry by Andrew Wang on Facebook. And it kind of give me a better idea of how it goes. Mothership had too reported on this here. (P.S: I’ve wrote to Andrew to get his permission to share his post here. 🙂 Thank you Andrew once again!)

Some background on what is VEP (Vehicle Entry Permit)

Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) is a permit issued by the Road Transport Department (under Section 66H of the Road Transport Act 1987) that allows the entry of foreign vehicles into Malaysia. Owners or representatives duly appointed by the owners of ALL foreign registered vehicles entering Peninsular Malaysia are required to register online for VEP through this portal. VEP registered vehicles will be issued non-transferrable RFID tags that uniquely identify each vehicle.

Road charge (RC) is a fee imposed on all foreign registered private vehicles (excluding motorcycles) when entering Malaysia. The fee of RM20.00 will be charged each time these vehicles enter the country.

The Malaysia Government had announced that they will commence the implementation with effect from 1st October 2019. So our dear fellow friends, you have 1 month+ left to register for it. 😉

Thanks to Andrew; here’s the steps to register:

Application Process:
📍 Step 1: Registration at VEP webpage (Vehicle and Driver) – You will receive a “Confirmation Slip Email” if successful.
📍 Step 2: Download TouchnGo eWallet app and setup (register using **NRIC only).
📍 Step 3: Make appointment in VEP webpage after receiving “Invite to Appointment Email” (**may take days to weeks, some months from successful registration at Step 1).
📍 Step 4: Bring along required documents to Appointment Station (refer photo below for documents required). RFID on TouchnGo will be activated soon after your tagging.

I guess there should be no noise made to the VEP registration as it was delayed since some years back. Andrew had provided detailed explanation via his Facebook post, so please click into the respective pictures for more info.

Thank you Andrew! 🙂
