It's been a while since my last post :( and since it's first month of a new year I wanna make a good start and kick off.) Upon checking out my albums I realized I haven't post our trip to Singapore and Malaysia last October 2014.
The trip was quiet unplanned and I just had less that 2 months to do the research, reservation and all other stuffs. And luckily we got a very cheap deal on our Emirates Airlines ticket (DXB-SG/KL-DXB). When I had my confirmed ticket I immediately look for our accommodation - affordable, good location, cleanliness and comfort is what we're looking for.
I'll do another post for my review with J8 Hotel.
We arrived in Singapore by around 8:40 pm we passed the immigration very smoothly without any question ask. Took the Train and drop off to Lavender station---we're planning to take a cab but unfortunately the place is full of people during those hours and aside from the cab passes rarely - when one comes it's always with customer inside. We can't take a bus because we don't have any idea which number to take (i know it's our fault..we should made a back up plan beforehand!). If I remember it right we wasted almost an hour waiting and looking for a cab when at last we got one!!yeheeeyyy..and guess what??!!it takes only 2-3 mins drive and we reached our hotel.
And this is our first meal in Singapore:
The next day, we woke up little bit late since Universal Studio will open 10am and we already have our ticket with us. By the way, I suggest to get your ticket online Universal Studio Ticket aside from less hassle you can have discount when using your Mastercard.
We did enjoyed most of the rides specially the Mummy!!
It's already past 1pm when we decided to take our lunch at Hollywood China Bistro.
We left USS by around 4pm and just got back to our hotel to rest and have energy the following day.
The next day we woke a little bit earlier for our Sentosa.
After Sentosa we went straight to The Shoppes MBS for lunch. And ate in the foodcourt which I'm so impressed-lots of selection and super yummy food. Hubby had the Bah Kuh teh (It's their version of Nilaga but without vegetables) and I had my all time favorite Japanese bento hehehhe.
It's already past 3pm when we left the food court and went to MBS for the observation deck.
The breath taking view by day:
It's still early but my feet are already tired but since we're already there we just decided to stay and wait for the night to see the lightnings in Garden of the Bay.
After strolling around in Garden of the Bays we watched the water show in MBS and go straight to Makansutra Gluttons Bay for dinner.
Honestly this place is not for me but since hubby is already hungry I don't have a choice but to let him eat hehehe. I find it chaotic and plus the weather is so humid-one lesson learned I should check and read more review to visualized the place.
The day is so tiring and all I want it to lay down in the bed. We reached our hotel by around 11pm already-what a day??!!
Our last day is more relax and free it's only strolling around and buying some pasalubong and bilin from friends.
Little India: Nothing much to see or we just missed it heheheh
And this is my favorite place. BUGIS!! It's like our divisoria but airconditioned. A lot of stuff you can buy from clothes, souvenirs items, chocolates and street food.
I just feel sorry that I missed Chinatown :(
A trip to Singapore is incomplete with a bak-wa in hand.
And a bags of white coffee..this is a super hit to my friends. And I just bought it in the supermarket along with the instant Laksa (sorry I don't have a photo of it). So next time you go to SG try to visit their supermarket there's a lot of good buys.
Food trip in City Square mall - my super huge squid ball!!
Before leaving SG we got the chance to meet my aunt.
Our overall experience in Singapore is superb!! I want to go back there just to eat and shop in their supermarket hehehhee..
