Good friend of mine was in town last weekend, so we spent some time wandering around Singapore.
DAY 1
Arab-Malay Quarters: Also known as Kampong Glam. Hot hot day so spent most of the time here along the partially shaded Haji Lane. Lovely lane with lots of interesting things to see. This was after our morning "teh tarik" (where I had spotted Anthony Bordain the week before!), and lunch at my favorite Moroccan place.
Little India: This was a quick pit spot only because we were so freaking tired by the time we reached here. We walked from the MRT all the way to Mustafa, then zoned out a nearby resto with Lasi's and cheeseballs to reenergized.
Marina Bay Sands: We ended the evening at Marina Bay Sands, exploring the giant expanse of a mall and having late dinner with a friend at Mozza Pizzeria by celebrity chef Mario Batali.
DAY 2
Orchard: After checking L into his hotel, we met up a friend for late brunch (ie: at 2pm!) at PS Cafe. I'd been hearing so much about it (and their famed truffle fries) that I thought it'd be a good opportunity as any to try it out. We spend the rest of the afternoon wandering around some of the malls along Orchard.
Lau Pa Sat: how do you not go to Singapore without trying some local fare? Stuffed ourselves silly at dinner with satay, fried oyster & carbs.
DAY 3
Din Tai Fung: Introduced L to the wonderful world of the Xiao Long Bao
Many of these places I've seen before, but as I was going there under different circumstances, it may have well been the first time.
awww Leo visited you
ReplyDeleteyes he did! well, he was there actually for work, but hey, i'll take what i can get ;)
ReplyDeleteYIHEE! Loving the pictures. Bagong camera <3!
ReplyDeleteThat pizza is making my mouth water. Looks like it was a fun trip. Still wishing I was there with you guys. :)
Aww I liked PS Cafe a lot. Reliably good food and always a nice place to brunch. How was the Mario Batali pizzeria?
ReplyDelete@deepa: actually, there are a lot of great places here to brunch noh? the pizzeria was amazeballs. i hear the osteria is even more amazing though. def more than i'd pay for a pizza (20 - 30$), but a nice treat every so often
ReplyDelete@helloise: thanks, hee. maybe one of these days you'll FINALLY make your way over to mozza? the burger place next door (they have some foie gras burger) is supposed to b super amazing as well. hehehe. hopefully lei will come back for a visit when we're both in town!
