This is the last day of our visit. We check out without having breakfast as the room charge actually did not include breakfast. Yesterday, the breakfast was on our own expenses. As we passed by the lobby, I knew I had to take a picture of the lounge. It was again, beautifully design with different sets of sofas. We did not have a chance to go there for a drink as we came back very late last night.
When I saw this, it reminds me of a dying fairy I once saw in a movie. This is another must-take photo. In M'sia, there will never be crocked lines like this. The first time I saw this, I had a laugh myself. You must think I'm crazy huh? Well, pardon me as this is the first time I went to Singapore.
We went to Vivo City to kill our time before our flight at 6pm. I saw this cute hanging reindeer be the escalator.
Coincidently, we bumped into a troupe of bridesmaid and bride+groom. They were there taking pre-wedding shoots I pressume. I wanted to go over to congratulate them if not for my baggage.
I feel silly taking all this while shopping. But that's what makes me different from others ;p I'm on my honeymoon...
We did not take breakfast this morning, so we were dead hungry by the time we reached Vivo. Sis recommended us to try the crab in No Signboard Seafood. As I thought she had tried it before and found it yummy, then it must be reasonably priced (quite cheap). Hubs leaded the way into the restaurant and I followed behind. As the sliding door open, it reveal this...
I went like Oh-shit! This must be a throat cutting restaurant. The ambiance and the deco will burn a hole in pocket. Surprisingly, the food is well, reasonably priced. A kilo of their famous crab is priced at SG38. Do not do the conversion, otherwise you will not want to even go in. They have quite a number of branches, namely Geylang, Suntec Center and Esplanade Mall.
We ordered stir fried water-chicken with dried chilli and a crab cooked in sweet and sour sauce.

This is the stir fried water-chicken. It does not taste so good as they are from water tank rather than catch it from river. The meat is not bouncy and it feels like there was only bones wrapped in skin (skinny froggies).
The crab that is worth the waiting and $$. When the captain brought this to our table, we had a shocked. It was so huge we can barely finish it. The crab weighted 1.2kg
See how big it is? The hand alone had already taken up the whole plate. After the meal, we were so full we can't move for a while.
When we came back and told Sis that it was pricey, then only she told us, "I told you it's expensive right?" and I went o_O.

We took a stroll around Vivo after lunch (with our luggage trolling behind). In the Sony center, I urged Hubs to try out the PS2 over there. He finally gave up after 10mins struggling to operate the controller. And he made up his mind to get a PSP so that he can still keep up with the fast evolving tech. He said, at least when next time his son asked him how to play, he can show them and not be like others. And so here's our new bought play station.

Part 2- Day1 http://chocmud.blogspot.com/2008/02/day-1-singapore.html

Today only I manage to capture my super lucky room number. So auspicious number for Chinese. Anything to do with 8 is lucky.

A unique collection of deco. If I saw this lamp before my wedding, I would have search high and low for it as a deco in our bedroom.

An illusion or a photo edits? Non of it. The glass is really one sided in real. Cool huh?

A view from our seats. You can imagine how our breakfast must be like. SO Yummy although we just take a light one.

Another lovely deco by the side door leading to the restaurant. It's just a bunch wire with lights in between but not all knows that by turning them into balls, they will look so unique.

Even the chairs are so lovely........

Right after breakfast, we were off to Bugis Street, the heaven for shopping cheap stuff in Spore. It says in the banner that Bugis Street is the largest shopping location in Spore.

As we approached a bun stall, I peep inside to see what is that big bread. I don't know how to read the chinese character, I just ignored it. While I was busy trying to figure out if it's real, Hubs read out aloud, " I am not real" in Mandarin. Haha....so all along this fake bun has been staring back at me shouting, "I'm fake" but I turn a deaf ear, cause I'm a banana... ;p

Bugis Street is so big they need signboard to show more shops over the other side.

A temple was built among the shop lots. I wanted to capture this shot for you to see and I totally did not realize there was a non-photo-taking sign just 10 feet away from me. Lucky I didn't get caught. Or else I'll be paiseh (embarrass) again.

There's nothing special about this roadsign. I just took it to show Hubs' best friend that he's so rich to own a mall and a street named after him...hehe

Lunch was taken at a nearby cafe, Breko Cafe. What is so special about this that we went there?

Well, to be honest, we did not plan for this. We happen to passed by with a hungry tummy and seriously in need of cool place. Coincidently this place has air-con, thank god!

Although hungry, we couldn't eat much. So we just order some drinks and a snack. While waiting for our food to come, we planned for tonight's journey. See the circles and arrows?

Hubs ordered a beer to cool off.

While I opted for an ice-blended chocomocha with cookies, I think.

For snack, we tried it's potato boat. It was a fist big potato, slit in the center and stuff with mayo+spices and top with fried minced meat. Yummy! It was just enough for two of us.

After the lunch, we walked around a little and headed back to hotel for a bath before going to Chijmes for dinner....

Mini Honeymoon

I just came back from my mini honeymoon trip@Singapore last Saturday. 3days 2nights is more than I could ever asked for. In short, this was the best holiday I've ever had. Will update more on it later. Of course I have taken lots and lots of photos to go along with the story.

As for now, I'm in the office catching up on my work and blogs hogging on what I've missed out since last Thursday.
