lunch in Singapore

Close by the Fullerton Bay Hotel, there is a row of restaurants. We went to Sabai, a thai food place.
The food was great!

restaurants to visit in Singapore

One of the best things about travelling is eating!  Especially, if you are overseas you

would want to try the local soul food.  Bak kut teh fits into that category in Singapore for me.  

place I want to go for Bak kut teh:  Founder Bak ku teh Restaurant 発起人肉骨茶餐室

Hawker centers seem to be a good place to start if you are looking for tasty, reasonably priced food in Singapore.  There is heightened interest these days with two stalls each garnering a Michelin star.

Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

Now, were I able to visit these places during this business trip? No.

Instead, I had bak kut teh at the Fullerton Bay Hotel restaurant, Clifford Pier




Experience of the mismatch between a very local cheap food and the luxurious atmosphere was quite unique.

this morning in Singapore

I have been going back and forth between Hong Kong and Singapore this past month.  Occasionally there are moments of peace, and this is one of them.

one day trip to Macau!

Staying in Hong Kong for the weekend

I enjoyed a one day trip to Macau the easy way today, by taking a one day tour through a travel agency. Without much time to do my own research and compare prices,  I googled and simply chose the first agent on the search result.  Despite my initial concerns, I was pleasantly surprised about the outcome.

Today's choice, China Highlights - One Day Macau Tour-   119 US dollars
This is the Macau Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong. The red turbojet docked by the terminal takes you to Macau.
