Singapore Night Light Festival

The annual night light festival will be back at Bras Basah on 19, 20, 26 and 27 August. Be dazzled by the light arts performances and sculptures. Last year when my cousin and I attended this free event, we had to jostle our way to various light arts performances as road was congested with people. We were just surrounded by so many people with hardly breathing space. I'm not exaggerating, both locals and tourists were there to enjoy the free events. Singapore is a small island of 700km square yet there are 5 million locals and residents. I do hope there be more security in this public event. 

Date: 19, 20, 26 and 27 Aug (both Fri and Sat)

TIme: 7.30pm to 2am. 

Yummy Desserts at Honeymoon Dessert at Ion Orchard

One of the main reasons why I go to Ion Orchard shopping mall is to satisfy my craving for double-boiled milk with walnut and almond dessert, follow by a trip to the bookshop at Ngee Ann City. The silky smooth dessert with crunchy almond and walnut just makes me happy. Hmm, maybe next week I go to Ion Orchard to have my favourite dessert!

First Singaporean Selected in Sing!China

Finally a Singaporean is chosen in the prestigious Sing!China, formally known as Voice of China. Talented Chinese singers from around the world participate in this competitive singing competition in China. In the past Malaysian and Thai Chinese were selected. It made me wonder when there be a Singaporean in the show.  What is amazing is all four judges want Nathan Hartono to be part of their teams. In the end, Nathan chose Jay Chou, Mando King of Pop to be his mentor. Wise choice I must say since Jay Chou is gifted in music composing and his partner Fang Wen San is talented in Chinese lyrics. 

Lilytopia at Gardens by the Bay

This month floral theme at Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay is Lilytopia. There are many Lily varieties currently on display at flower dome. Its the first time they play music (the 60s) in the flower dome. Lilytopia ends tomorrow. 

Chai Tow Kway aka Fried Carrot Cake

One of my favourite breakfast dish is Chai Tow Kway also known as fried carrot cake. It is a popular Teochew cuisine. It comes in two version; black which is doused with black soya sauce and is sweeter compared to the white version. I prefer white chai tow kway. My favourite stall is the one at Tampines round market at Blk 139.

Cheese Tasting in Jasons Supermarket

I love cheese especially soft cheese with fruits inside. My favourite is camembert cheese. So whenever I'm at Ion Orchard shopping mall with my young cousin, we will go to Jasons supermarket for cheese tasting inside a special cheese room where there are many cheese to try. If you are a cheeselover like me, you will love this place!

There is a small room where you all try different types of cheese in Jasons Supermarket.

 Just throw used toothpicks in the box provided.

 Cheese are cut into bitesize for you to sample.

Ya Kun Kaya Toast

Ya Kun Kaya Toast is a popular coffee shop that sells Singapore traditional breakfast of kaya toast and rich aromatic coffee. I had the value set meal which include cheezy french toast, 2 soft-boiled eggs and a cup of coffee. I think the price is about $4.80.

 For soft-boiled eggs, I like to add light soya sauce.

Flying with Singapore Airlines!

Singapore Airlines is the pride of Singaporeans. It has won numerous international airline awards for their great service. If not for the price consideration, I would fly with Singapore Airlines all the time. 

I travelled to Sydney and returned from Melbourne via Singapore Airlines. I think the service from Melbourne is better than Sydney flight. The flight attendants smiled more and also one of the flight stewards is very handsome. He looks like a Hong Kong movie star. :) 

I must say service at Singapore Airlines is awesome. Their captains are also very efficient. We reached Sydney in about 6 hours plus instead of 7 hours. We arrived early at Sydney and I guess it must be their super flying skills. 

There is no dull moment in SIA as there is inflight entertainment. You can watch the latest movie like Zootopia or just select the songs for your playlist. Also it is only in Singapore Airlines that I get to drink Singapore Sling, a famous cocktail. Also if you can afford, fly with Singapore Airlines! You will enjoy the flight experience. 

 At Changi Airport Terminal 3, departure hall.

 Coincidentally, there is a display on Australia and yes, I went to Great Ocean Road to see 12 apostles! Awesome view and cool weather! I wanna bring the weather back to Singapore! 

 Exchange rate for Australian dollars is very attractive for Singaporeans now.

 I always order Singapore Sling whenever I fly with Singapore Airlines. This is a famous Singapore cocktail of dry gin, Dom Benedictine, orange liqueur and cherry brandy, with lime, pineapple juice, Angostura bitters and Grenadine. 

 With SIA, there is inflight entertainment. These are my playlist. I still like the 90s songs like Come and get your love by Real McCoy. I used to dance to the tunes of their songs. 

 For refreshment, I had warm chicken satay and potato wrap which is really delicious and it was served warm! Thumbs up!

 Besides this delectable chicken satay wrap, I also had orange juice and coffee for refreshment

 This is the breakfast set.

 In the breakfast set, I chose cheese omelette with creamy cheese inside, with chicken sausage and roasted potato. It also comes with fresh fruits, yogurt, bread bun, orange juice and coffee.

 View of Australia from the plane. Australia is really big.

 Could not really sleep well in the midnight flight as there were many air turbulence.

 So just look at the beautiful sky.

Heading to Sydney soon.
