Food & Explore - Singapore Food Festival, Merlion Park

I had always been wanting to have a dinner on a special type of place. Not those cable car (which now not operate in SG) Not those in the night safari (which is too exp!) & of cause not at the flyer (which you need to dine in with other 5 couples, 6couples in a cabin)

So one fine day, I was browsing the newspaper (Life section) I saw the advertiment about Singaopore Food Festival!! So I search online and this caught my eye straight away!! Singapore Chinese Dialect Tingkat Cruise.

So I book the slot and when the day arrive, is quite disappointed yet surprise!!!


#1- Disappointment
When I arrive there which is on Wednesday 20 July, it started to pouring! & I was like sianz, sure later get drench when we inside the boat. Than, when we register our name the booth I saw the Tingkat!! But Just to realise the food is packed before hand therefore it won't be serve hot. =(

#1- Surprise
However when we prepare to board the boat(cruise) the environment and the space turns me on man!! =D

Aren't the sofa seats with the pillow so cozy!! Some more on a raining night, with all the lights in the building reflect us!

#2-Surprise
So we settle in and the cruise begins. Th helper was nice to open the Tingkat for me! Like the tour-guide said, we this youngster (modern-people) tend to un-familiar with Tingkat. So when we open the 3rd Surprise came! =D

#3-Surprise
As you can see there's 3 level in the Tingkat so the top (1st level) consist of Carrot cake & Hokkien Mee.
Follow by (2nd level) consist of Chicken Rice & Sun Gui (traditional gui for teochew). & Lastly the bottom part (3rd level) is the dessert. Barley water!! =D & also a can drink (Sparkling  Black Current)

#2- Disappointment
The food portion is so small. =(
But the chicken rice ball is cute!

So while eating, there's a tour-guide inside the cruise telling us about Singapore history and the location around Merlion Park to Boat quey to Clark quey. =D

Fun fact! - Do you know last time One Fullerton is a post-office in Singapore. & now revamp to a 5star-hotel. Other than that was like, the river bank side in Boat quey is Curve and the opposite side (Asian Civil Musuem) of the river bank side is straight. Because is believe of "Feng Shui" (Fortune) purpose. The curve side is to believe, is good to do business there. =D

 

& the food just nice finish in 30min of the cruise (From Merlion Park - Boat Quey - Clark Quey), after that the cruise turn back to head back to the Merlion park. But before that we also pass through the floating Plat-form, Marina Bay Sand (which I havn't been there) & also pass to see the night scenery!!

Food- Ramen at Town!!!

Aloha! Sorry to take quite a long time to update! Hope this blog is still surviving well.. =D

Got new place to share, though this might already got people out there know but still want to share with people out there who don't really explore!!!

So by chance at town searching for food without knowing what we wanted to eat, so we decided to try out at 313@somerset. Though the first level got quite a few restaurant that are well design but still nothing caught our eye, so we head down to the basement to see what other finger food we can eat.

So we walk around and found this place! RAMEN PLAY! A whole new experience ramen shop with alot variety of Japaneses food which also include curry rice!! =D They have unquie staff uniform which looks cute and nice! The area though abit small but the mirror images make the place look spacious and clean!

 

We tried the value Ramen meal ($12.90) which consist of 1 small Ramen, 1 side dish, and 1 drinks.So I order  Spicy Shoyu Ramen and the Gyoza (3pcs) and Ice lemon tea!! The Pork Salad Wrap is nice too! (P.S too hungry so eat the side dish without taking photo, Prok Salad wrap comes in 2 pcs.)

The Gyoza is a MUST TRY!! we can't have enough for it (side dish) so we order the 6pcs Gyoza ($5.80). & is worth the money! haha!

If you happen to try, do drop down comments about what you order so next time I can go order and try too!! Thanks for sharing.. End there.. Bye!

Recommendation - Bukit Panjang Home Facial

Always wanted to go for a facial that would cost lower and won't given the pressurize of purchasing package?? This is the place you must visit!!!


Recommend by my best friends, I was curious and reluctant to believe the result of a facial from base from home service. So I take up the trial facial which cost $25 (Student Price) which I think is worth and cheap, so why not give it a shot and try out.

The room have a nice aroma smell, and the relax music, would make you feel so relax and sleepy!! Did the whole section for about 45min & before finishing the lady did a hand massage for me which outside saloon don't have!! =D

They also have service like Nail Art and Slimming too!! Do bring your mother along to pamper them!! =D

 

Who: Ladies or Guys Interested in Facial
