German was in Town III

So, finally it was her last day in Singapore. It was unbelievable that she couldnt explore the whole island since Singapore is known as one of the smallest countries in the world. She still hasnt been to the East Coast, Sentosa, Kallang, and etc. This proved that Singapore has a lot more attractions worth you to pay a visit.


She likes water, i prefer milk.

I would prefer to have an authentic local breakfast at the hawker stall or local restaurant instead of hotel unless it is totally free. Food served at the hotel will always look extremely and perfectly good but what a glutton professional traveller concerns more is the taste.


My first round.


My second round.


My third round.

Ops, i still havent brought her see the merlion. Thus, soon after the buffet style breakfast at InterContinental Hotel, we headed to the most well-known tourist icon of Singapore.


Esplanade, or casually called as the durian.


The merlion that fronts Marina Bay and back the financial district.


Singapore flyer is not in this picture!


Hey, stop going away from us. We will look super tiny then.


I am superb thirsty.


She wants to get the water back to Hong Kong.


This tourist takes good picture.


A short rest under the Esplanade Bridge.


She likes the old colonial architectural buildings.

Me : What you miss the most? (Deciding where to have our lunch.)
Her : ViVo City! (Apparently, she likes shopping there.)
Me : Okay, but how about food? (Hoping to hear the right answer.)
Her : Erm, well i guess Ya-kun and the noodle. (Yosh!)
Me : Oh, really? Let`s go have what you wish to eat on your last day. ('Bingo' sign flashes over my head.)


Ya-kun Kaya Toast next wanna-be-model.


Enjoying Ya-kun`s teh tarik.

The toasted kaya bread was very crunchy while the teh tarik was perfectly smooth with a heavenly aroma even though it didnt have the frothy top to crown it.


Crunchies munchies toast, here i come.


The bus was full of passengers.

After the early teatime, we hung out around a small shopping mall for a while before hopping on a bus back to Bugis. There we went for our late lunch at the same restaurant and ordered what we each had on the first day. I seriously heart the fishball noodle.


Her mushroom minced meat noodle.

What attract me most was the texture of the fishball, it differs significantly to what i have been eating so far. Instead of grinding and forming, meats used for making the fishball is pounded that lends the texture more consistently firm and smooth. A bowl of fishball noodle only costs $3. Incredibly cheap.


My favourite fishball soup noodle.


She purposely waited for my noodle to come, just for the shot.


In front of the hotel.


Taxi driver was waiting for us.


The departure hall, Terminal 1, Changi International Airport

Wish i had done my job well. The 5 days 4 nights trip for Singapore was certainly not enough. Guess she gonna be back again for food, Sentonsa and more shopping. Anyway, i believe by the next time, i would be able to make my own diverse list for the good food as well as nice places to hang out that not written on Lonely Planet.


Welcome back to Singapore, German.

The feedback i got back from German and Agnes was pretty good. Guess the next time i back to Hong Kong again, i may be treated like a VIP. They promised to bring me out for nice Cantonese cuisine at the reputable restaurant. I am so looking forwards to it.

大佬~你令我花了近一小時看你的blog...不過都值既!你不能老是寫中文麻!^^
英文才是世界語言!我會努力學下架啦!^o^

根據我睇左咁耐!你應該係比較喜歡(香脆,辣,鮮的甜,濃一點兒)這幾個口味!

對嗎?(認真點答我呀!)
因為我要構思餐牌麻!^^
暫時的:笑裡藏刀,知心好友....
("冰火雷芥"因為細想下不太可能,所以取消了!)

xjion : i dont know whether i am a good guide or not, i just wish she had a great time in Singapore. yeah she is German, sounds cool? perhaps it is the pronunciation of her real name in cantonese


sockpeng : 哈哈哈 我不免費當導遊的哦
那你什麽時候來新加坡呢?
如果我有空的話 可以帶你和家人去走走的


waiseng : wow, you are coming with your family? thats awesome! anyway if you follow my way, it would be a bit hard for your parents as we had been walked from one to another places besides taking bus, taxi and MRT


shin : 你還沒去過新加坡嗎?
我也是去年才第一次到新加坡的
你還年輕啦 慢慢來
馬來西亞的東西比較多好吃

fufu said...

tony : hahahaa, exactly! it is damn dirty around that area, full of rubbish and it irritated my nose as well, anyway we had fun taking pictures there.


chrissie : 我還好啦
還有很多的地方我還沒出過的呢
很想再去環游世界~


珊姑娘 : well i have actually been there couple of times already, i plan to go there for christmas end of the year, i have many hongkie friends so dont know how long should i go...


choyyin : malaydsia has more choices i would say, and delicious!! but it would be quite costly if compared the living standard, anyway we still could find cheap but yummy local food ya =)

fufu said...

jiani : 我們特地的呢
然後哦 其他的旅客都跟我們
其實我也是早之前看到別的做
大家都在抄,爲了以後有個美好的回憶


feeling : i dont think so, because i will make full use of the city life! well probably the country is still new for me and i know how to enjoy the city life =)
yo, the curry fishball i had in Mongkok was just awesome, still taiwanese stinky tofu rocks~~


khoo : 想換下口味姐
中英都會寫咯下次 項多元化d
中文真既幾難打架


靓靓sally : VIP? erm, 那要看我們以後的發展如何咯
哈哈哈哈 但是新加坡很小的啦
自己一個人都可以到處走走的

fufu said...

roses : is it your first time coming to singapore? if you need my help, feel free to ask =) so who are you coming with? if sunday, i may be free to meet you guys though
yeah everything is doing pretty smooth here, thanks
erm, yah i made bunch of good friends while i was in japan, and have been meeting quite a number of cool online buddies


ET女子 : 我還不算是個好導遊啦
趁年輕 你應該到處走走
有機會就要看多一點 知道嗎?
吴克群? 我沒他那麽的有才華咯


cuiyin :可能我拍得還看罷了
講到美食,馬來西亞比較多美食吃
很多新加坡人都去柔佛吃


even : 我會間中甘寫下中文既
我d英文都吾係講好犀利姐
會嘗試用d簡單既詞來形容
其實我咩野都食架 有人煮埋比我食蝸
又吾係農曆新年 餐牌係咩都無所謂吖
最緊要大家食得開心
