Arrival into Changi Airport from Sydney Relatively quick pass through immigration And into the awaiting cab,
taking in the lush greenery of Singapore on our way to the hotel Checking into the beautiful Fullerton Bay Hotel Our home away from home for the next 4 days Soaking in the calming and luxurious atmosphere Such soothing aesthetics Quick check-in, and we head out for our dinner reservation It's a drizzly evening as we make our way through town Taking in the sights and smells...starting to g
et hungry now Past this cute street mural You can't go to Singapore without the obligatory meal at Jumbo Seafood... Make sure you book ahead, as the restaurant gets very busy at dinner time We'll have one of everything, famished Come with an empty stomach, you won't be disappointed Starting with stir fried asparagus Next up, deshelled fried prawns with golden salted egg Crunchy, salty, savoury and piping hot = delicious Bamboo clam steamed with minced garlic The glass noodles compliments the fre
shness of the clams perfectly And this is what we came for, the award-winning chilli mud crab Fried rice, so comforting And the grand finale, Jumbo's signature black pepper mud crab I think the chilli mud crab takes the win.
The black pepper was a little too over-powering for me The aftermath So full. So satisfying. This institution never disappoints Walking back to our hotel after dinner through Clarke Quay It’s been drizzling on and off, but a balmy and pleasant evening Looks like everyone is

st stop, Orchid Haven As the theme suggests, I could happily get lost in here all morning A short walk away is Spago, located on the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands Chill vibes, with a relaxed Mediterranean look and feel CHEERS! A rooftop bar in Singapore is rather incomplete without the mandatory rooftop pool And with views like this, I’m in no rush to leave Quite simply breathtaking... Walking back to the hotel and checking out the cool street art installation along the wharf An homage to Spam
and Soup? Let's grab a couple of snacks from the convenience store to tide me over until dinner And back to the hotel for a quick rest and freshen up Up we go Honestly can't get over this view Picture-postcard-perfect Snack time! Hot and spicy potato chips... Spice level doesn't live up to it's name... But nevertheless, quite moorish Heading back out for dinner after a cat-nap Cab ride out this time Ticking off another Singapore must-do It's pretty early in the evening, and it's already bustlin
