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.
