Contest: Singapore Lah!

Posted on September 18, 2009 by Didi
Photo grabbed from this site

I’ve just been to Singapore once – and that was 4 years ago.

And I HATED it.

I hated it because of the:
a) Heat – my gosh!! I was sweating like crazy!!
b) Expensive shopping – EVERYTHING was expensive! Even if the stores were on sale, they were STILL expensive!!
c) On-Call Taxis – Taxis are no where to be found during rush hour because all taxis want the extra charge for on-call! I hated it!! My twin brother and I waiting 4 hours just to get one!!

These are the reasons why I REFUSE to go to Singapore, but since dear MIL and FIL are sponsoring a trip next week – why the hell not right?

But quite honestly, I’m not that excited to go, I mean – what is there to see in Singapore right? It’s such a small city! I am excited to see my good friends Cubie and Mabs, and to go on food trips! I am super excited to hang out with them and visit Muji and Ikea! Hahaha.. 🙂

So – I have a project/contest, from now till the 24th – I’d like to ask for suggestions on where to eat. When I visit the place you suggested and like it – you earn a pasalubong from me!! 🙂

Project: Like Singapore Lah!
Mission: I’d like to give Singapore a chance, with this contest!! Give me tips and recommendations on where to eat!! 🙂

Just kindly leave the names of the restaurants on the comment section. I know that for sure there will be double entries of a certain restaurant, so – let’s do it like this – ‘first come first serve’. Whoever will submit the name of the resto first – will get to claim that resto ‘entry’. One comment per restaurant. I will be picking the Top 5 restaurants that I liked!! 🙂

(Please disclude Din Tai Fung in your lists!! Hahaha.. )

    If Edmund likes it, does that count? Haha… this might seem so ordinary since the Outback here is blah… but tell him to try Outback in Singapore and order Governor's (or diplomat) plate something… as a steak lover, he won't regret it! 😛

    Excellent black pepper crab – the Sri Lankan crabs are very meaty. The black pepper sauce is fragrant with butter and spicy enough to get your tastebuds all tingly.

    Address:
    i. 1018 East Coast Parkway (next to Singapore Tennis Centre)
    Tel: (65) 64458833 or

    ii. #01-04 East Coast Seafood Centre, 1202 East Coast Parkway

    Try Newton Food Centre. This is a hawker type place. Order the cereal prawns… One of the best I've tasted. I think most of the restos there can cook this meal.

    Another must try is the Chili Crabs from Jumbo Restaurant. Brocolli with scallops is a must try as well.

    Last but not the least is the Ikea Food Court. They have specials for each day. We have tried the Honey Chicken Rice which was the special the day we were there. A must try is their Chicken Wings.

    Note: Go to Ikea in Alexandra. It is bigger than the one in Tampines.

    Hi, I hope you get to love SG this time. I actually think it's a nice place, even if it's small. The people you're with should just know which tourist/eating spots would tick your interests. 🙂

    If you're not so much into their local food, try Sushi Tei, it's a resto chain very much like Sakae Sushi. Have the Dragon Roll or Golden Dragon Roll. I swear hindi mo malalaman ang kaliwa't kanan sa sarap. 🙂

    try fried mars balls (can be found in Chippy British – they have one in far east plaza) – not really a where to eat answer but i think its quite good if you love chocolates.

    I don't have a particular resto in mind but you should try the hawkers at the Makansutra Gluttons Bay. Malapit sa Esplanade.
