7/1 Singapore

This was my first time in Singapore…

After over a year of flying around, I finally got a chance to fly to Singapore.
The hotel, is.. umm.. Something Roxy Something… Who cares..
Rooms are big, and it’s a smoking room.. yippie~
Anyway, I let pictures do the talking… with side notes of course…

My room, it’s pretty big, and the outside of the hotel.

I arrived at 4 AM, and so I slept till… 2 PM… So the first thing on the list is.. to EAT!
So Vivian took me to this place… I can’t remember the name of the place… which suppose to have great chicken rice~

This is the shop, just Chicken Rice

This is the sauce… and our coconut…

Our free soup, it has bitter melon and chicken feet and chicken and pork I think…

This is the chicken, it’s quite yummy, and the pickled veggies have pineapples in it~

This is the building where the shop is located at…

Now it’s just random shots of the streets…  actually… just Orchard Street…

It has like a million shops on the street, and I guess if you love shopping…
However, I hear it’s more expensive than HK… so…

Then we went to the Swissotel Stamford, it’s near… umm… No idea… and we went up to this place…
it’s on the 70th floor, so it’s got a great view of Singapore.

Streets of Singapore.. I hav to say.. it’s prettier than night view of Taipei…
I’m not sure if you can see it, but if you click on the pic on the right…
You’ll see a street that’s lit up with white lights instead of yellow lights…
That’ll be your racetrack for the first ever Formula One race held at night!

This cocktail is called the Merlion… and of course, Tiger beer~

More night shots of the city~

Then we went to check out the Merlion… only to find out that.. it’s under construction….

You can see the world’s largest Ferris Wheel…

Merlion from another angle…

There’s this smaller one and made with porcelain, actually, it’s covered in broken porcelain…
The building is called… Umm… crap.. can’t remember…
Oh yeah, the Fullerton Hotel.. hahaa.. Looks grand…

Then it’s dinner time… We went to the Maxwell Food Centre…
The locals call these kind of places Hawker Centre… Not sure why…
And the public toilets costs 10 Cents to get it…

It’s just like any other food court… It was already 9 I think… so many shops closed…

This was some kind of a clam thing… On the Sign it says Cockle…
it was just water boiled and it was not bad and all that for only 3 bucks!

And of course, the Meat Bone Soup, but I thought… wasn’t it suppose to be dark?
We didn’t order Popiah, cuz it’s just like the Taiwanese veggie wraps you see in night markets…

This is Rojak, it’s.. a weird looking and weird tasting thing… Very interesting actually…
It’s got umm… Pineapple, Cucumber, Green Mango, Radish/Pear?, and some kind of fried dough…
All mixed in with a sweet soy sauce, crushed peanuts and a bit spicy thing in it… not sure what gives it’s spiciness…
And of course, a bowl of water for you to drink… I mean, wash your hands after you open up the clams…

Last but not least, Laksa, tastes like… Laksa….
And Carrot Cake with eggs, not bad eating~

Anyway, so that concludes my one day.. well, half day trip in Singapore~
Thanks to Vivian to show me places, and Tommy for the drinks!
I will definitely go back sometimes, because…

I DIDN’T GET TO EAT MY CHILI CRABS LAH!!!!!!!
