This trip to Singapore was my second time visit to this place, it is my pleasure to join Sue yin for this "luxury" trip. thanks for her to invite me. First time visit to Singapore was 1 year ago, that time we had visit to Sentosa, geylang and Chinatown. We did not overnight in Singapore but we stayed in Pulai Spring Resort.
For this time, we had visit to different attractions in Singapore ~~ Marina Bay Sand, Casino, Zoo Singapore, Bugis Street & Orchard Road.
28/8/2010 (Sat) - we departed to Singapore by bus from Malacca at 8.30am (Bus ticket RM22 / person). It took around 4 hours to reach there. Sue yin's brother fetched us from Lavendar Street (bus station) which is quite close to the accommodation we stay - PARKROYAL Serviced Suites in beach road.
PARKROYAL Serviced Suites offers a choice of 90 well-appointed one and two-bedroom apartments. We stayed in two-bedroom apartments which have a panoramic view of the city skyline and sea, fully equipped kitchenettes, personal washing machines, dryers, modern LCD televisions and home entertainment systems. The locations is just minutes from the Central Business District (CBD).
We checked-in the suites at 2pm and went to Bugis street to have our lunch. The Bugis street just few street away from the suites. There offered different choices of food and the price are reasonable. we ordered laksa mee ($3), mee soup ($3), claypot rice ($5), Pumpkin kuih($1.20 per plate), shui ge ($1.50 for 6pcs), bak kuh teh ($5), original Sugar Cane($1.50), dumpling ($3 for 6 pcs).
After filled up our stomach, is time to shopping around Bugis Street ^.^ Due to limited time and money, Sue Yin and I just bought belt from there, buy 2 free 1 for $10, the price is acceptable for us. :D Then, city tour around Singapore and we went to Mount Faber.
Mount Faber is a hill about 105 metres in height in Singapore. The summit is accessible by road, but there are many footpaths leading up the hill. It is a frequent tourist destination, as it provides a panoramic view of the increasingly dense central business district within the Central Area. Its slope includes a tower that is part of the Singapore Cable car system that connects to HarbourFront and Sentosa. It is accessible from the HarbourFront MRT Station.
Around 7pm, we had our dinner in NO SIGNBOARD restaurant which located in Geylang, it is famous with the seafood, many people also having dinner there, mostly is tourist. You may refer to this website ( http://nosignboardseafood.com/ ). We ordered Chili crab, Crispy Cereal Crayfish, Garlic Steamed Bamboo Clam, Hokkien Style Steamed fish, kangkung, friend Chicken.... this dinner cost $200++. The food was quite satisfied but the services is not so good, we had wait so long to get our dishes, we finished our meal around 9pm. Thought want go Marina Skypark after Dinner, but the Skypark is close at 10pm, we had change our plan to visit Casino only.
We parked car in Marina Bay and walk to the casino, we go through the World's First Double Helix Pedestrian Bridge in Singapore. It closing the loop on 3.5 KM pedestrian path around the Marina Bay development in Singapore.
