Siloso Beach Resort & Underwater World Singapore & Resort World Sentosa & Dolphin Lagoon & Republic - Vivocity & Suntec City

As planned, we woke up early in the morning. We took a train to Vivocity and then interchange another train to Sentosa Island. I was so excited. *grins* I planned to go for the waterworld, theme park and the beach. Unfortunately, the theme park is under construction. I want something thrilling. :(


This picture is taken from Vivocity. Nice hor?


Eh, i saw another merlion at Sentosa Island. This is the merlion tower where an underground museum is located underneath.



First of all, we hunt for our brunch. We kept walking until we saw a building known as 'Image of Singapore'. There's labelled with food symbol in the Sentosa's tourist guide map. We ordered these: Singapore Laksa with Lobster and a nasi briyani. The tangy laksa was scrumptious, i like the mild spicy flavoring complement with the thick coconut milk. The tauhu was so soft and its so different from the ordinary one. The lobster is a bit small but its flavorsome.


The nasi briyani looks appetizing rite?


Then we go for the SkyRide, we bought return ticket but forfeited the return ride. So, its recommended to just buy a single ride. The high elevation allows you to see the aerial view of the island, which is quite romantic. ♥♥

Romantic rite??




Subsequently, we reached Siloso Beach. For me, it's nothing special, maybe because of that I come from Sabah, a place which is popular with it's islands and beaches.

JUMP!!!


Aiks, how come he can jump so much higher than me??


This is 1 of my favourite shot from this Singapore trip. The multi-colour of the "SILOSO" alphabets make the photo looks vivid.


Besides of that, their buses are also dappled with colours.


We are allowed to touch the some of the frenzy fishes at the underwater world. However, the entrance fee was quite expensive but its worth.



Hello Mr. Soon... Are you okay???

I'm pointing at the sting-ray, this reminds me of the crocodile hunter, Irwin. RIP.


Frenzy fish, don't swim away from me. Come back.


MyFarnFarn was admiring the giant fish.


The jelly-fishes will change colour, reflected by the multi-colour light.


Next destination is to watch the dolphin show. However, it's raining and we have to take a bus to get there. When we reached there, the show was postponed due to the heavy rain.

tick tock tick tock.... Was wondering when will the rain stop?


MyFarnFarn's legs and my legs. lolz!



Behind there is the place where the dolphin stay and present their show. The show is too short, about 15 to 20 minutes only. hmm....

Afterall, we're back to VivoCity and had our dinner at there. We dine at Republic, a food court. There are variety of foods. Malay food, chinese food, Western food and etc.

You see, my babe was happy with the foods.


^Thumb up^


MyFarnFarn loves this kind of food. He bought the 'butterfly knot' pastry.


I look forward to come here again. ^_^


The dim-sum are huge.

Vivocity has already set up the x'mas deco for the massive x'mas eve count down. This picture is taken from the roof top open garden.


At nite, we went to Suntec City for the second round of shopping.
My BaoBao looks cute..


This is also one of my favourite shot from this album. I look so decent and lovely, do i?


Day 4 - We purposely went back to Maxwell Food Court to eat the Tian Tian Hainan Chicken Rice again. We also ordered this Singapore Laksa, shared by two of us. In fact, this is better as compared to the one which we ate at Sentosa Island. The gravy is much more creamy and mouthwatering.

Orchard Road & Paragon & Tampines & Canele - Macaron & Maxwell Foodcourt

We over slept, missed our plan to Sentosa Island. Nonetheless, we proceed with some shopping spree at Orchard Road. Before we start out journey today, we ought for the famous Singapore Chicken Rice. We start walking again and subsequently reached China Town. I was so excited to see the stalls at there until forgotten to capture some photo. However, it's quite similar to the Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur. I manage to grab some souvenir at there such as fridge magnet, key-chains and etc. I bought a box of 3 pcs Takoyaki at there but they're disappointing me, taste miserable and the texture is weird. After that, we saw a food court namely 'Maxwell'.



I saw a very long queue and am wondering what so special about it?



It's the famous Tian Tian Hainan Chicken Rice. We found it! So hungry already but insist to queue. Mmm... The rice was so bouncy and juicy. I think they use the high-grade fragrance rice and add some chicken stock into it, as compared to chicken rice in Malaysia, Malaysian's hawker will use the cheapest rice to cut cost. In addition, the chicken was so tender and smooth. It's skin is fair and soft. Nom..Nom..Nom..... (highly recommended)



Across the road, there is an eye-catching temple. I've no idea what it's name but it looks like a Dojo to me. lolz.



MyFarnFarn with the Dojo temple.



Cam-whore while waiting for Taxi.
----> Heading to Orchard Road.
However, nothing to share about the shopping session, no sales, didn't purchase anything special, every shopping centre is more or less the same. But i found this!!!


Macaron


*Canéle from Paragon*
I'm loving them; they're so cute, lovely, colourful and yummy. They're melting in my mouth.


I wish there is a platter of Laduree Macaron in front of me when i opened my eyes in the morning. I'll marry that person. Yes, i'm serious.


My naughty Schnauzer BabyFarnFarn.


We had our lunch/tea-break at a Japanese-style Burger shop. MyFarnFarn is eating the Teriyaki Chicken Burger. It's sumthing special which we don't see in M'sia.

Then, we take the train to the newly operating shopping mall in Tampines to meet up with his fren. We had our dinner at the nearby food court.

We ate mui choi kau yuk (preserved vege with 3 layers pork belly) and a mixed pork noodle. Nothing special about the foods but i noticed that the food prices in Sg is rather cheap as compared to our so-called 1 M'sia. M'sia boleh!

Christmas in Singapore - Holiday Inn Atrium & Clarke Quay & Merlion & Fullerton Hotel - Singapore Chilli Crab

Finally touched down at Singapore and meet up wit myFarnFarn. We checked in at Holiday Villa Hotel and then we decided to go out and explore the uniquely Singapore.


We are exploring the Singapore by our own feet. walk walk walk...


MyFarnFarn is busy interpreting the map, deciding where to go...


Farn: "Hmm... Which road to take? Left or Right?"


Full of energy and hitting the road.


Forgotten the name of this place, but it's like a modernized shoplot with variety of food, bar and delicacies.


Finally, here it comes. Our seafood dinner at a Thailand Restaurant situated at Clarke Quay, bloody expensive. All this cost us 200+ sing dollar, which is approximately RM500+. Come on, u can have a table full of seafoods for the portion of at least 10 persons. Somehow, the food really taste good. We ordered chrispy fried chicken, shrimps in oat and butter, and the famous Singapore Chillie Crab.


See, the crab is HUGE. The biggest sea-crab i ever ate.


As u can see, there are some fried bun. It's actually meant to be dipped into the chillie crab gravy. The combination is so nice and delicious.


The excessive price is due to the river-side view. Clarke Quay is actually a tourist hot-spot. It slowly becomes more and more crowded when night come. Apart from restaurant, here is also popular with bar and bistros. You can see a lot of tourist drinking at here during night time.


Clarke Quay is a very romantic place to dine at. U can enjoy the relaxing riverside view, sunset view and it's totally different at night. Couples are encourage to come here to have a short walk at night but try not to dine at there as it's too expensive!


MyFarnFarn was busy finding our ways to Merlion.


Fullerton Hotel. The night view is great rite, does it??


We started our journey to the Merlion.


Tadaa.... Introducing the symbolic Singapore Merlion. This a must-shot picture to every single tourist, or else, it's like u've never been to Singapore.


We're now on our way back to our hotel. However, both of us were in the low-battery mode. We are looking for Taxi. Unfortunately, we can't spot any Taxi nearby so we have to keep walking. After a few minutes walk, we manage to hop into a Taxi. When i reached our room, i wanted to look at the photos taken today. BUT MY CAMERA WAS NOT IN MY HANDBAG!!!!! Gosh, i left my camera in the Taxi!! Quickly, we went down to the reception and seek for help.

Bellboy: What is the car plate?
Us: Dunno o..

Bellboy: Then, what is the Taxi's company name?
Us: Huh, also dunno eh... (getting more nervous)

Bellboy: Do you remember what is the colour of the Taxi?
Us: Can't remember. (Darn, so hopeless now)

FarnFarn: But i remember the driver's name.

MyFarnFarn is the man! We told them about 'where we take the Taxi', 'at what time' and 'the driver's name'. The bellboy made a few calls to the taxi companies but yet still failed. When i'm about to give up, he suddenly said that he able to contact the respective driver and the driver will send the camera back to us with the conditions that we are paying for the taxi fares. Of coz yes please... and i'm willing to pay extra as long as i can get back my camera. I want my camera back. Oooo... i feel so blessed. Muacks Muack~


This is the view taken from the lobby/ground floor of the Holiday Villa Hotel, where we are staying. The lift was designated to be hanging outside and the building was tall. We are staying at 26 level. Good nite rest~ xoxo.
