Singapore – Little India

Took a stroll one evening down Little India. Passed by many times always in a vehicle and hardly ever walk there. Guess the thought of the crowd deter me. Decided the best time was to go after work on a weekday where may be possibly be less people. Took the train to Tekka and walked…

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point One of the great thing about Changi Bay Point is that not only is there great scenery – there are also many butterflies and birds. I think Nparks have done a great job of doing up the place although a big chunk of the wild between it and Changi Coastal…

Singapore – Changi Bay Point

Back in 2022, Nparks opened up a new scenic walk to the east of Singapore. That period was still in the tail end of Covid and overseas travel was still not allowed. As such when Changi Bay Point was opened – travel starved people went all the way to the East just to bake in…

Singapore – Garden by the Bay

Been some time since I visited the Garden by the Bay. Since recently many places in the world was getting the Aurora Borealis, co-incidental or not, the Garden by the Bay launched Borealis, a new immersive light and sound installation at the Supertree Grove. So like thousand other minions who are too poor to fly to other countries to view the Northern Lights, we dutifully make our way down to Garden by the Bay for what we hope would be a mini Northern Lights.

Bidadari Park

Not exactly a park. Just a patch of forest land that is soon going to go the way of the dodo bird. So thought before it disappear forever, to go down there and try to take a shot at the birds that abound there. And I wasn’t disappeared. Could hear many different type of bird…

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Extension

When the Nparks announced the opening of the extension, I was fairly excited. So one afternoon I went there only to discover that it was the former Kranji Trail which I had visited before and which sadly is now “sanitised to become the new Sungei Buloh Extension. The former nice trail has been partially replaced…

The Quest for the Merlion

Everybody know the national emblem of Singapore is not the Lion but the mutant Merlion, a product of cross mating between a lion and a giant fish. Legend has it that the Merlion was caught in the sea somewhere off the Esplanade and so the wise gahmen decided to build a statue of it there…

Chin Mee Chin Confectionery

Probably the last of its kind left in Singapore, Chin Mee Chin Confectionery or CMC as it is popularly called in Katong is a old style Hainanese coffee shop serving beverages and bread served the traditional way.   Inside the 2 old style glass cabinets are trays of freshly baked buns Authentic custard tarts. And…

The Prawn Noodles Shootout

A friend posted a link to a webpage review of the 6 “best” prawn noodles in Singapore. One thing led to another and soon we were talking of doing our own tasting. A wicked idea then came to us. Instead of going to the different outlets over several days, why not do it all on…

Singapore Garden Festival 2014

I have been going to the Singapore Garden Festival for the past few years. Usually it is held indoor at Suntec City but this year they decided to have it at Garden by the Bay South which was pretty cool or so I thought. I first went on a Tuesday with a group. It rained…
