T&J Travels #7: Singapore 2016 (Part 3)
We already got out late of the hotel so we were ready to binge. We found ourselves ordering lobster and crab, a plate of yang chow (free man tao) and mee goreng. Except for mee goreng I can't believe we finished a meal that looks like it can feed 3-4 people!

Like the lion head at Baguio, you can't possibly visit Singapore without visiting the most famous out of the 7 (or 5 if you're to be strict about it). I love going here at night where there are not much people. What I notice is that there are still tons of Pinoys around.
The helix bridge was supposed to be visited today as well but it looks like none of the lights are on. We walked towards it hoping we got it all wrong but it really was dead for that night. We just hope to see it tomorrow.

Our way to the park was expensive vs. on how we got back. We found out that there's a bus that will take us to the park to and fro for free (from Vivo City) and that the monorail is not the only option.
It is not a daunting park, anyone can visit every attraction on a day if only the lines are not superbly long. What adds to the inconvenience is how it's hot and how the kids can be so unruly at most times*. The time when the lines are quicker is around 6pm and by that time all you could think of is how you would like to get back home.
Food is expensive, you might want to consider a higher budget if you're bringing kids. For now it's not a problem, we even had two meals there: Gloria's Snack Shack (Madagascar) and Goldilocks (Shrek).
It was fun, I most especially loved the first one we did (the boat ride at the Jurassic Park) next the Mummy and the Transformer rides. I loved that they have lockers (the one near the Mummy is free for the first hour) for everything so carrying a bag is nice, just not too big.
*Not naming nationalities, BUT somehow they're the only ones who are.
[…] Back in the Philippines, I discovered a saucy noodle dish I never thought I would love: Char Kway Teow. I told Reagan about it but we never had a chance to try it here. It wasn’t heard to convince him for us to try it and so glad it didn’t disappoint. I know it does have shrimp but this is probably better than the other options available. On another day I would love to try those other dishes they have. I remembered loving the spicy seafood back in SG. […]
