Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.4: Food Republic @ Vivo City

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.4: Food Republic @ Vivo City

My Singapore trip posts will be ending very soon. Last post will be tomorrow… My Streamyx is still not back yet. Sigh…

So… After Sentosa, we headed back to Vivo City using the monorail. Since it’s already dinner time, so we decided to settle our dinner Food Republic @ Vivo City. WOW! Food Republic is really something to WOW about! The Food Republic in KL is unique. This is even more unique even though it’s not that big compare to the one at Pavilion, KL.



See the interior design? It’s really special. You feel like you are in an old Chinese street. The tables and chairs are extremely heavy.

Let’s see what we had:

Left: Fast food from the fast food stall. This plate of rice cost SGD4.70, it came with a bowl of seaweed soup. Taste wise? Hmmm… It’s edible, nothing much to rave.

Right: Mixed meat claypot rice(SGD6.80) from Fortune Restaurant stall. This wasn’t so bad.

Oh well… Couldn’t order much or try much food as there will be surely comment like “go back to Kuching to eat even cheaper.”, you say la… Aiyoo… How to try out food like that?!?

Most of the time, you only see I featured 2 types of food but do you know these are for 3 people consumption? Again… Oh well… Don’t want to mention anymore.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Hope Streamyx will be back soon.

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.3: Beaches @ Sentosa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.3: Beaches @ Sentosa

This is the last part of Sentosa. It’s all about the beaches. There were 3 beaches but we only went to 2 of them, Siloso and Palawan. Skipped Tanjong coz getting lazy and tired already.


Siloso beach… Camwhored quite a fair bit but I just looked horrible in most photos. I felt that I’m not comfortable in front of cameras anymore unless I’m the one taking my own photos. I guess it’s because gone are those days that I kept having cameras pointing all over me to take my photos and I would be so natural in responding to them. Now… I feel awkward. A sign of feeling old? OH NO! Hahaha…


At Siloso, you can play volleyball there.


Views of Siloso.


Rasa Sentosa Resort.


Then we went to the Beach Station and caught another ride to Palawan Beach. The purple vehicle is one of the rides that send you to those beaches.


There’s a suspension bridge that links beach-goers to the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia (and also Asia’s closest point to the Equator). AIKS! I only know now after checking out Sentosa official website! If I knew back then I would have cross it! Was too lazy to walk that time and thought it was nothing special but a bridge.


Having great time at the beach with the family. Actually this is just a section of the actual photo. This is the bottom part of the photo.

Here…

This is the top part of the photo. After seeing this kind of view from both beaches, I some how started to appreciate our beaches here better. You don’t get this kind of view at our beaches here.

Honestly, I don’t want my children to grow up seeing or playing at beach with such view. Sorry if I offended some people as to me, a beach should be a place that you see the sea and sky join together with no other objects obstructing it except islands or some small boats.


Love beers? Wanna chill out? Bora Bora Beach Bar is the place you can do so. I fell on my knee here. Bruised my knee and cut my right foot when I lost my balance stepping on the section between the real sand and hard surface covered with sand. Mind you, these seats here are only for customers of the bar, you will get to sit here if you order something here. It’s not for the public. I would have take my time chilling out here if I’m with my darling and on a no fuss and relaxing trip but nuh-uh… That’s not the case.

Next… You can have the option of clicking on to read more or skip it. Let me warn you first, I’m not responsible if you loss your appetite

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.2: Sentosa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.2: Sentosa

Headed to Siloso with the bus ride.


These are some of the food and beverage outlets. That cutie over there looked right into my camera hehehe… Wonder what he’s thinking? Is he thinking I’m taking his photo? I didn’t even realized there’s a cutie until I came back to Kuching and viewed all the photos I had taken. 😛


The Underwater World is located here. I was thinking of going in but sigh… Travel companion didn’t want to go in.


So… Just make do with the Underwater Viewing Chamber out there.


You can find turtles and stingrays there too.


Time for lunch. We had ours at Kowloon Food Express.


Ordered Chicken Rice Set(SGD8) and Singapore Style Fried Bee Hoon(SGD6). Chicken rice was not bad, the fried bee hoon got nothing to rave about, it’s just fried bee hoon hahaha…


Not far from the The Underwater World, there’s another attraction called Fort Siloso.

After that, we headed to Siloso Beach but before that we saw a peacock there, only one peacock. There’s many peahens. Was hoping the peacock will show off its tail but it didn’t, too bad…

Next up will be beaches! Me in bikini perhaps?

Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.1: Vivo City & Sentosa

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 4(20/8/09): Part 4.1: Vivo City & Sentosa

This is the last day we can go around and decided not to walk too much. It would be Sentosa the whole day.


We went to Vivo City to board the monorail to Sentosa. Before that, we walked around Vivo City. Went to their Sky Park.


Weather was pretty hot coz it’s almost noon.


After that, we bought our tickets at the ticketing machine. The ticket cost SGD3/person for to and fro trip to Sentosa with the monorail.


There! Our tickets. The view you see here is from the monorail. The day was slightly overcast luckily there was not a bit of rain.


More view… Going into Sentosa.


The monorail. You can opt for going to the Beach station or Imbiah Station. We decided to go to Imbiah first and beach would be the last. Greeted with lots of greens.


The Merlion is there, this one allows you to go up to the top with the built-in lift in the Merlion. You have to pay for all the rides and all of the attractions there, it’s not included. Can you spot me? *LOL*

After that, we walked up using the escalator to the other part of Imbiah Lookout and reached Images of Singapore, you have to pay for this also. We didn’t go into any attraction or ride that required us to pay, we just walked around.


Thought of going up this ride(Tiger Sky Tower) but after seeing it, we felt that it’s not worth it, go for Singapore Flyer is more worth it but we didn’t go.


There’s butterfly farm and also luge & skyride.

After that, we went to the bus stop to catch the bus to Siloso Beach. There were 3 colours of routes for you to choose. We didn’t bother, we just hopped on the one with shorter queue. Besides, the places were all easily accessible with any bus there. By the way, the bus rides were free.

Next up will be the beach…

Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.5: Marina Bay

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.5: Marina Bay


After dinner, we headed to Marina Bay. Along the way, I took some night scenes. Love the night scenes but it’s quite hard to take proper photo of them without tripod.

What you see here is Clarke Quay(or is it Boat Quay?) at night.


Resorted to use any stable surface to take these photos.

Walked, walked, walked and you can see The Fullerton Hotel, 6-star hotel! Wonder when will I have the chance to stay in one of the rooms? Took some photos in there but was all blurred.

From there, we walked to One Fullerton.


The Merlion Park. Can you see the Singapore Flyer(the photo on the left, just above my head)? Too bad there’s a bit of haze that time so the photos were not so nice. Took photos with the baby Merlion and The mama Merlion.


See the durian? The huge building there? Hehehe… That’s Explanade – Theatres on the Bay.


Last shoot before leaving, the highway.

That’s the end of day 3, finally! ;p We reached Sembawang at almost 11pm. Luckily my friend drove us back. Was so tired, I don’t think I would have the energy to walk to the nearest MRT and then had to switch stations again. It was so late until my aunt thought that we lost our way home hahaha… Thanks for the ride and the dinner.
