Singapore Getaway Part 4: Orchard Road, SEA Aquarium, Gardens By The Bay

Part 4

Second Day of Singapore Trip

After having our brunch at Wild Honey, we continued to explore Singapore bit by bit. We walked along Orchard Road, trying to enjoy city life. They are celebrating SG50 and hence there is an art exhibition. I enjoyed the exhibition a lot. People are so creative. =)

At Singapore WOW art exhibition.

Paper luminal art, this is so beautiful.

After a short walk at Orchard Road, we decided to proceed to Sentosa. Took MRT from Orchard station to Harbour Front station. Then, we took a bus to Sentosa, which cost us $2 per person. After about 45 minutes of traveling time, we finally reach Sentosa! We want to visit S.E.A. Aquarium, which is the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia. We bought a ticket bundle in airport -- SEA Aquarium, Gardens by the Bay and River Safari for $76 per person. Hence, this is our first stop!

At the entrance! SEA Aquarium.

Enjoying sea view. Look at the baby shark!

My favourite fish -- cute but dangerous one. Pufferfish! =D

Signature tourist pose. Surrounded by fish.

After spending 1-2 hours in the aquarium, we decided to proceed our tour to Gardens by the Bay (Cloud Forest and Flower Dome). 

Came to Sentosa, how to not take a photo here? A bit regret that I didn't manage to explore USS due to time constriction. Next time... Next time....

Then, we caught MRT from Sentosa to Harbourfront. Then, we changed MRT to Chinatown --> Bayfront station.

Singapore Getaway Part 2: Ya Kun Kaya Toast, Merlion Park, Chapter 55, Gardens by the Bay, Clarke Quay

Part 2

First Day of Singapore Trip

After exploring Haji Lane, we decided to check out a temple nearby as my friend strongly recommended that. Hence, with the help of google map, we successfully reach the temple -- Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple (观音堂佛祖庙). It is situated at 178 Waterloo Street, and is of significance to the Chinese in Singapore. This temple has existed since 1884 at its present location. When we were there, there are a lot of people praying. 

It was raining when we were walking there. But, the rain can't stop us. 

After that, we decided to walk back to Bugis Junction because the rain gets heavier. Feel so lazy to explore further due to the rain. Our hair got really messy. Hence we had steamed bread at Ya Kun Kaya Toast and went back to hostel to rest for a while. 

Steamed bread at Ya Kun Kaya Toast. It was really good! I would go back for this!

Around 5pm, my friend finished work and we went to explore more places. I haven't been to Singapore for almost 2 decades and hence I need to go to typical tourist spots -- Merlion Park, Marina Bay Sands, Gardens By The Bay, etc etc.....

Panaroma view from Fullerton Bay Hotel. Great view from here.
If we were to have a drink at Lantern bar, it would be soooooo great.

Fountain and MBS. Nice! 

Merlion Park.

Esplanade -- Theatres on the Bay

After walking from Merlion Park to Esplanade, we decided to grab our dinner at Chapter 55, Tiong Bahru. My friend strongly recommend this restaurant as they sell great Italian food. 

We ordered 3 different dishes to try -- Crayfish pasta, Aglio Olio and a Pizza. Personally, I think the Aglio Olio isn't nice. Crayfish pasta is special whereas the pizza is crispy, quite like the texture. 

Crayfish Pasta

Pizza, with lots of olives! 

Seafood Aglio Olio

It rained again while we were having dinner. Luckily the rain stopped after we finished dinner. Thank god! Then we could continue to explore tourist spots -- Gardens By The Bay and Clarke Quay.

Night view at Gardens By The Bay. This is so beautiful! But quite hard to capture a nice photo as it was too dark at night. So I would suggest to go Gardens By The Bay in the morning and also at night. It has different view/feel at different time.
