Singapore October 2012 Days 3&4

Day 3 is basically shopping day. What trip would be complete without shopping for souvenirs, food, and other stuff? Our tour guide (mom's friend) brought us to Bugis and Chinatown because my mom wanted to buy cheap stuff for pasalubong (souvenirs given to other people upon going home or omiyage in Japanese). First stop is Bugis. Upon arrival, I was hungry because I haven't had breakfast so I immediately went to the food stalls to eat delicious street food! Sadly, I don't remember the names of foods we ate but they were all delicious!


This is a "crispy crepe" with yummy stuff inside. I especially liked the floss!


Street Food!



Of course, the clothes/shoes/bags/accessories area.

I initially thought that I wouldn't be able to buy anything from here except for pasalubong (which only consists of t-shirt and fridge magnet) but I found stuff like a creeper shoes that I've been wanting for the past few months, a grandma shoe, 1 cute top and a bag. They sell all sorts of stuff in Bugis street and here's a proof:


Looks cute right? Go figure.

Next stop is Chinatown! I've also purchased some stuff here like a huge fan, another top, and food from  Bee Cheng Hiang (crunchy floss and sweet and spicy stuff for drinking haha). 


Yes it was hot.


MRT station.


Family Affair. We were all tired.

After shopping, we went back to the hotel to rest for a bit, and decided to eat something yummzies for dinner. My sister went to meet up with her old friends who were working in Singapore so she couldn't come with us. They went to a bar and went home wasted. Anyways, we went to the famous No Signboard Seafood Restaurant in Geylang and it was packed with people that they had to set up tables at the parking lot and that's where we sat. It was fine for us to sit there because we know that great food will be served. We ordered abalone and asparagus for starters and some other dish that I don't remember and of course, the mighty Chili Crab. Everything was delicious and although we didn't order much, the crab was so satisfying that our stomachs bloated.

Crazy huge crab claw! (yumm)

Day 4. It was our last day and our flight was in the afternoon. We had decided then to go to Marina Bay Sands Sky Park as our last stop. The weather was bad but gladly, it didn't rain when we were on the top.

Me enjoying the view.


Another side.

The weather was gloomy and so as my photos. That's sad. Afterwards, my sister and I wanted to go back to Orchard Road, which we went to, briefly, on our first day. We didn't get to buy much stuff from there (but I already did! from Kinokuniya) on our first day so we went back. My sister came back to buy the Lacoste shoe she'd been wanting to buy because it's much cheaper. We also shopped at Charles and Keith which is so cheap. We got bags and shoes. I didn't take any photos because I was too tired and I wanted to concentrate on shopping! That's about it and if there is something I wanted to do when I come back to Singapore, I will visit every mall on Orchard Road!
