Ichiban Boshi at Nex
I was hankering for the simple kitsune udon I had at Osaka, and Ichiban Boshi has a good enough version that comes in a smaller half bowl portion (S$4.90). It’s not the healthy kind of sushi but I do love … Continue reading

Why is everything in Singapore now have a Sky added to the front. Skybar, Skypark and now Skygarden. They seem to be copying Marina Bay Sands, but only the Skybar at Marina Bay Sands is truly high up in the … Continue reading
Singapore Daily Photo: Squished Water Bottles All Over the Road
We saw boxes of Dr Who waterbottles scattered over a road as we were heading to Sentosa. Ever seen bottles squashed flat? What a waste and I wonder how they are going to clear this up. We saw the truck … Continue reading

Chili’s (Resorts World Sentosa)

Spectacular Crane Dance at Sentosa
When I was first told about the Crane Dance at Sentosa, I instantly thought – the elegant white birds. It’s actually robotized mechanical cranes that are programmed to dance to music. It takes place at 9pm daily and lasts for … Continue reading

Our Trip to Resorts World Sentosa (Part 2 of 2)
The Casino here doesn’t look as intimidating as the one at Marina Bay Sands. It’s a lot more gaudy too. This place is not as posh, but hotels seem more family and budget friendly. Honestly, if I had to pick … Continue reading

Reeses Chocolates and Garrett Popcorn Enticed Me at Resorts World Sentosa

Afternoon Tea: The Knolls at Capella Singapore

Tranquility: Capella Hotel at Sentosa
I can see why Capella Singapore won the architectural heritage awards. When I come here I feel like I’m in another country – perhaps Bintan in Indonesia, especially with the view of the South China sea. It’s also so quiet … Continue reading

My Second Visit to the Tanjong Pagar Railway Before it’s Changed Forever
This Malaysia Railway station will soon fall into Singapore hands. I am curious about how they will preserve it, but I would be sad if the nature of the stalls or stall owners change. There is a certain charm about … Continue reading

Singapore is becoming the Playground for the Rich: The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
