Makansutra: Gluttons Bay

I wanted to experience Singapore street food...

Thanks to my cousin Lyndon for touring us for a taste of the real Singaporean taste test...

I asked my cousin where he was taking us for a real Singaporean experience...

he replied: MAKANSUTRA....

whaaat!? ....sutra? 

If he told me right off the bat the english name then I would have realized that it was a food strip...

the place- GLUTTONS BAY

Gluttons - love of food...

* GLUTTONS BAY

* FRIED CHICKEN WINGS...

yummmmmyyy

* CEREAL PRAWNS

...my fave! I am hoping we have something that resembles that dish here in Canada

You can eat everything, even the head of the prawns...

* I forgot the exact name but this is a bit on the spicy... but great too

* FRIED RICE... A staple in every meal

* MILK TEA...

MAKANSUTRA, Gluttons Bay

Singapore

Beaches inside Sentosa Island

Inside are 3 beaches

I, of course, went to Palawan beach...

Yes, I am now in Singapore and yet I still look for the Philippine beach, in SINGAPORE! 

GO FIGURE...

I guess coconut trees makes it look... PALAWAN?

Never been to the original one in Manila...

I will make it part of my pending must visits next time we come home

but here goes some Palawan Beach picture in Singapore...

* This reminds me more of Lynn Canyon or Capilano Suspension Bridge...

* It was a bit raining... reason behind the wet look hairstyle of brother Kenneth :)

* This is the place after crossing the suspension bridge...

* Slanting coconut trees...

And on our way to Siloso Beach...

* Free Open transportation taking you from and to each areas around Sentosa Island

* Siloso Beach Big Letter Sculptures

* * * * *

* Look who's peeking behind the doggy

Eric and Ken with the cute doggy sculpture

* Dad and Eric

* Public Art... Public Display of Affection :)

SENTOSA ISLAND

Singapore

Universal Studio, Sg... Just Outside :(

It was not a good time to go to Singapore

...in one word, RAIN.

but since this is our first time to go as a family,

not even rain will stop us from enjoying this trip..

It was not practical to go inside Universal Studio when Kimi won't be able to ride much

plus she was a bit sleepy then so we decided to go to places inside the big Island to explore instead...

We took a picture of the Universal Studio from outside of course,

people will be wondering why we went all the way to Singapore and just went to Chinatown

so, here it is :)

* The Well-known Spherical Icon of the Studio

* Kimi was on top of the world sitting in Grandpa's shoulder

* More of us trying to go in for the picture...

* Eric finally got his chance to be in the picture too...

... I wish we were able to take a family picture here.

Next time I'll teach Kimi to handle the camera... hehe!
