It was the only day it rained during my visit, but that made the weather a little more tolerable, as it has been so hot.
Bugis Village was supposed to be a shopping market of 3 floors, but it was quite the disappointment, more like a night market inside a mall. Singapore has so many more large air conditioned malls, but this was noted in the lonely planet guide, so I thought I would take a look.
Instead, I had time to hang with my friend J. We went to Boat Quay for some drinks and dessert. I actually tried real tapioca, kinda like a potato, but just sweet (but not like sweet potato). We also checked out one of the nicest hotels in town, the Fullerton. Not bad for a redecorated post office. We then headed for dinner: my last wish was to try the famous Singapore chili crab.
Chili crab at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant was awesome! and I didn't even mind all the work. I would've drank the sauce if ít wasn't so spicy. The restaurant is Chinese style, but reminds me of the old Dem Bones, where they give you a bib, and you just dig in. We didn't get that messy though. I wonder if Banana Leaf has it at home?
I wanted to go out again, so headed towards Emerald Hill by Orchard Rd. This is the happening place, tons of people out. Drinks are so expensive here, ~$20, it makes me stop complaining about home. I was getting tired, and didn't make it past 11pm. Good thing, cuz I have to get up at 4am for my flight to Cambodia tomorrow.
