Singapore.

Went to Singapore from 13/2 - 15/2 and it was my 2nd time there. Previously never really had time to explore Singapore as I spent my time at Universal Studios and my friend's place. This time, I had chance to celebrate Valentine there but that's not the main aim but rather I was invited to attend the ASEAN Career Fair with Japan at Singapore EXPO (They paid us subsidy of SGD 100) so there's really no reason not to go.

I touched down at Singapore around 4pm on the first day. After settling down, we went to Orchard Street. Most places at Singapore are reachable by their MRT & LRT system so it's really convenient and not forgetting to mention, efficient. Also, you can simply take their buses to your nearest MRT if you are lazy to walk.


Orchard Street - It's basically filled with branded stuffs like Prada, Burberry and etc. According to Singaporeans, it's suppose to be more lively during Christmas season. Out on the streets are the famous block ice-cream with waffle biscuits or bread which only costs SGD 1.20. Price differs among stalls so do look for the cheapest ones.


Chinatown- I then head on to Chinatown which was really happening at that time as Chinese New Year was approaching. This restaurant is across the busy street of Chinatown, passing a mall.You can totally feel the festive mood among the crowd. Jason's uncle brought us to a buffet-style Korean restaurant and it was really good. Their chicken wings especially. (And yes, it comes with beer too if you order)

Also to highlight: The famous claypot porridge which is before the Korean buffet.


Singapore EXPO- This is usually the place where conventions and exhibitions are held in Singapore. Still, reachable by MRT, it's just a station before Changi Airport. There are a few cafes such as Coffee Bean inside if you happen to head there.


Bugis Street-  Nearby there is a temple which is really famous among locals. This street is an outdoor and indoor marketplace selling various items from apparels to food. A nice place for tourists like me! I manage to bought a Cheongsam here for only SGD19.90



International Seafood & Teppanyaki Buffet Restaurant - We then head on to our Valentine dinner. This place was really crowded and it usually requires booking in advance to guarantee a nice seating, near to the food or you'll probably need to wait for hours or sit outdoors (away from food which is really sad). The combination of foods here are really awesome. Basically as the name goes, it really does have all kinds of seafood and teppanyaki food (and more!) Service was good too! They had this free polaroid service on special occasions like this.  The 2nd picture is the ambience outside of the restaurant (waterfall and lights).

Just one more dream.
