Checking in on arrival @ Changi airport...........This is the only trip that was not planned at all. After much persuasion from son H, my tickets were only bought at the airport counter less than 24 hours before my departure after a last minute decision to step foot on this shopping paradise since more than a decade ago. I did enjoy my short stay there and only regret I did not plan it earlier or I could have meet up with my Singaporean blogging buddies. Anyway I get to meet up with old friends and my niece Jennifer who is married to a Singaporean.
All we could do during the 3 days is taking a cab to Orchard road shopping paradise and shop til we drop. Window shopping is more likely the word as most of the things are expensive considering the high exchange rate of SGD 2.40 to RM 1.00. We did get to eat some good food. Transportation by cab was expensive but more convenient as we were short of time to travel MRT. What I really like about Singapore is that their toilets are really clean and their traffic is not as heavy as in Malaysia. Their food courts which they called food republic are nicely and neatly presented.
Besides shopping, food is not forgotten and here are some shots of the food we had.........
Our first lunch at DinTai Fung with this delicious sweet sour beancurd seaweed soup. The beancurd cut into strips were really soft that it melts in the mouth and the soup was not sour at all.
Prawn fried rice, nicely done with rich flavor of egg yolk.....
Cha cha mien....hand pulled noodles with pork
Pork tenderloin fried rice...meat is crispy on the outside but super soft and sweet on the inside.....
