food feast in Singapore

Singapore is like another  home to me, lived there for 2 years attended  University and best of all, made a few great lifelong friends. Comes to think of it, was 8yrs+ ago and time flies. ? It’s always nice visiting every year. Hot! It’s always hot all year round.  T-shirts, shorts,  bikini are the “go-to” cloths and of course flip-flops Love wearing flip-flops there, “blending in like a local” as I always said. Oh don’t forget to carry an  umbrella, likes to  rain here and there through the day so you never know.  

Went on a 4D3N trip with friends, visited like a tourist and toured them around like a local. There’re many attractions like,  Sentosa,  Marina Bay Sands,  Universal Studio,  Clarke Quay, Singapore Flyer,  Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Safari, Garden by the Bay and Supertree Grove, Chinatown and more. We chose some given the time we had and most are easy assessable by MRT. ? Duck tour was pretty fun, went on land and in the water. A fun way exploring the city.

After all that feasting, one last dessert before taking off — panda chiffon cake. Have shops at the airside, I bought a few before I boarded my flight each time.

Where to stay
 Marina Bay Sands is famous for its skypark, world’s largest rooftop infinity pool up at Lv57. Has a stunning view of Singapore and worth staying for a night to experience it thou it’s more pricy.

 Parkroyal on Pikering has a unique architecture “hotel in a garden”. Love the design and the greenery sky garden. Pretty convenient in city centre and ≈3mins walk to Hong Lim Food Center.  

How to get around
 MRT is pretty convenient and easy to navigate. It gets to most of the touristy places. An ezlink tourist pass offers unlimited travel on basic buses, MRT and LRT.
