Singapore Fling pt. 1

Last Friday was the start of our weekend whirlwind honeymoon and my feet is still feeling the hangover...the 30 min reflex massage is just not sufficient. Came back Sunday. I like Singapore. It's so clean and safe, the whole country's infra and facilities are well maintained, the people are so civilised ie: they cue to wait for the toilet, they wait for the pedestrian light, they let other passengers to alight the train before rushing in (no pushing), no sampah pendek cerita aman lah perasaan ku bila berjalan2 disana.

This trip has been postponed since the start of the H1N1 outbreak, we must travel before 31st Oct or else. So initial plan to go with the kids turned into our Singapore Fling. Bagus jugalah..we need the break. The kids were having a blast at their nenek's..
The pictorial is in random order..

One of my "terpaksa visit"..BMW showroom the largest in south east asia and yes they can gloat..very changgeh la, the building itself is 6 floors high and sepanjang-panjang jalan disana was for luxury and regular car showrooms..(we only saw ONE proton on the road until we flew back)..note to hubs: I book this one ah..
Kalau di sini..within minutes babai gaman suda beskal2 ni..
My first meal upon arriving, the must try Hainanese chicken rice. This one is at Killiney's Kopitiam (no pork no lard)..nice but the herbal soup too salty and the chilli can be improved.
Ahah! This is on my MUST MAKAN list..the famous Singapore Chilli Crab (Sri Lankan crab kalu masih hidup). My good friend recommend to try the one at No Signboard but they also serve the "gajah pendek" there so frust lah I pada mulanya. Then hubs pun bawalah ke Boat Quay where all along the riverbank was seafood restaurant serving mouth-watering menu..and just look at the size of the smallest crab! Offer suda ni S$30/kg.

One of the stops for the river Cruise..Clarke Quay is at the opposite side of Boat Quay and this side pulak is lined with beautiful colourful buildins that houses many different concepts of pubs and resto..happening lahWe had Turkish Ice Cream..sot-sot pakcik jual eskrim ni suma customer dia kasi tricks..
I ate this everyday..the Old Chang Kee Curry 'O the pastry is crunchy not flaky and a surprise inside..in the middle of the typical potato and beef curry is a slice of hard boiled egg..and I also like the deep fried sotong on a stick
On our 1st night we were frustrated coz the Hard rock Cafe was closed for private function..so we went to this place Howl At The Moon just near our hotel..HAPPENING! See the two pianos?? They do Piano Duelling (mcm two pianist challenging kehebatan in the same song) and they also do stand up comic..plus I didn't smell like an ashtray when we left..definitely cool
It was really pleasant just strolling along the Orchard St..day and night..beautifully dressed people all the time and yg kami heran there were just so many people walking even at midnight..we happened to pass by this private function..I dream of organizing an event this exclusive..this was a gigantic tent set up and inside it looked like an amazing jewellery galleria with opulent chandelliers. I like!
Kesian bah kami ada jakun skit when we stumbled onto this underpass..right below the building behind me was a whole diferent world of shopping space, they call it a multi-sensory mall the ION Orchard ntah ke apa lupa suda..sampai ke sini bah idea dorang, no more darat..under-darat lagi kena explore.
Oops ehem..yes we went inside..no we didn't buy anything
