why still at SG photos? :s13:

I flew back to Singapore to meet with my parents for a weekend staycation before flying onto Taipei!

Got selfie pics?

Erm....

wd zz use what phone to take photo? the photos looks nice especially the marina bay photos.

I used my old Samsung phone. It is great in daytime, but it is not so good in low light settings.

I actually took a 50 percent pay cut when I recently relocated for my new job. And I have been flying back almost every other fortnight back to Singapore. I can't afford to spend AUD26000 on flights, pal :s13:

A welcome drink! A cup of cappuccino with the hotel's logo thoughtfully laced upon the surface.


The bathroom is super glamorous with amazing views of Marina Bay.



Bath salts were also provided.



Probably one of the most scenic bubble baths one could take in Singapore



A toast to a wonderful weekend!



Dinner! My Mother arranged room service as she was too tired to deal with the traffic.


My Dad had planned to attend the events downstairs in the evening, leaving me to spend some quality time with my Mum over dinner.


With that, I drifted off to a great sleep in great anticipation for the next few days.

Day 2 - A Local Rendezvous
Singapore


The next day, I, at my parents' insistence, met with my close family friend’s son for a meal. He gave me a blank cheque to do whatever I want because he was apologetic about not being able to spend time with me on my birthday. So I decided to make him pay by making him bring me around the island to indulge in some local hawker delights!


First, he brought me to this random hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio for lunch and ordered some of my favourite dishes!





The duck rice (SGD5) was pretty yummy and I really loved the chilli sauce that was served beside it. However, I would much prefer yam rice over plain white rice when it comes to duck rice.





The Mee Hoon Kueh (SGD5) was quite disappointing and quite plain. I personally thought that this was a waste of calories.




The Char Kway Teow (SGD5) was super flavourful, with the noodles drunk with Wok Hey, and saturated with plenty of cockles! Yum!




Lastly, the Black Carrot Cake (SGD4) was pretty decent; adequately moist and decently flavoured, though it lacked that panache that separated decent dishes from the really great ones.
