Singapore Stop Over - Part 3 of 3

The following morning we were late agin and we had our brunch at the food court of Novo City for some hawker style dishes. I spotted this stall with a special certficate, having been awarded the best oyster omelette back in 2007 by the Sg Street Food Awards.

Here is the lady preparing my Char Kway Teow. Hmmm it was interesting that they never seem to wash the wok. Maybe its what makes the dishes tasty, similar to the way sour dough bread dough from the previous batch is always used as the base to make the next batch of sour dough bread.

Now off to Sentosa

Walked around Imbiah Look out before we decided to try the Luge. It was ejoyable but the track was a bit too short. Costs about SGD12 and comes with funky smelling helments too if youre not careful in picking your equipment. After that we also tried the VERY short segway course. Below is Yeng taking lessons on how the Segway is used.

Then we strolled along Siloso Beach. Now, this for me is a sad picture. Sad that the Philippines with all our wonderful beaches and TANKER-FREE Landscapes cant attract the same amount of international tourisists as Sg. What impressed me though is that the water on the beach is clean and green. How come we cant keep Manila Bay looking like this?

After all that walking we headed off to Resorts World for a bit of Toast Box love.

Hebi Hiam Soft Bun (I didnt actually like this, it tasted like powdered dried squid on a bun. Hehe just not for me I guess)

After the short snack we headed off for the Songs of the Sea Light/Water/Fire Show. Was OK but not the best Ive ever seen (the distiction for me goes to the La Font Magica in Barcelona)

After Sentosa, we went to see the Singapore Flyer. Was so dficcult to get a shot of Sg because we were moving and everything around us came out blurry. I still tried though.

To end the night we had dinner at Makansutra Gluttons Bay near the Esplanade for more hawker food loving.

Grilled stingray with Sambal (though I doubt whether it's really stingray? Can someone verify this?). The first time I had this was in Miri, Malaysia and I loved the texture of the fish and the spicy/salty sambal on top, all made quite fragrant by grilling it on folded banana leaves.

We ate all this with a big plate of Nasi Lemak with dilis.

For dessert, some shaved ice with soursop and sea jelly.

After dinner we headed off to the hotel and the following day was devoted to last minute shopping before flying off to Manila.
