My Singapore, My Home

My Singapore, My home. This tiny and beautiful island, only a dot on the world map are my beloved country. I have travelled the world and see quite alot but I have never feel so safe and free like in Singapore. A friend from Travbuddy persuaded me to write something about Singapore and of course I said Yes.Here it goes. Once a friend from Europe was worried about the humidity here, please do not worry, you will survive. I will try my best to tell you about Singapore the very best I can, I hope.

Singapore are very unique country in her own way, everybody speak english as english are the 1st language we learned in school. We also have our own version of English but that is another story. The road sign and informative board are all in English.

Places to go in Singapore that I've been and recommended to any traveller or tourist. Here are some of them. I think we are the only country in the world that have two zoo, one for day time and one for night time, the day zoo are Zoological Garden and in the night, The night Safari and if you must ask, Yes the animal are in the cage. Sentosa Island, a recreational island with alot of things to see to name a few, Siloso beach, underwater aquarium, butterflies garden and a must see are the water musical fountain at night, amazing with lights and music, and also to climb the top of Merlion, you can see a beautiful view of the surrounding island and southern part of Singapore. Next Place are the botanical garden, it is a good way to spend your afternoon, you can walk and try to pronounce the name of trees and flowers that you never pronounce before.

Next stop, if you are a window shopper or natural born shopper, Singapore is a place to be. For cheap stuff , go to Mustafa Centre, they have mostly everything and they open 24hours, the 1st in Singapore. For electronic, you can go to Sim lim Square, I think they have about 6 stories of shop that sell from calculator, camera to computers, they accept all major credit cards ;-) Orchard Road you will get a different vibe, you can get Armani, Versace or Louis Vuitton there, original mind you! there are full of shopping centre along the road from the start to the end and if you come around June, we have 'the great Singapore sale', good luck! We open from 10am to 10pm, everyday of the year.

Now the best part, I like to talk about food, I loved spicy spicy food and place I recommended with my taste bud are Hajjah Maimunah at Joo Chiat and another branch near Jalan Sultan, they served a delicious malay and indonesian delicacies, I try to eat there at least once a month. Next, Banana leaf Apolo, the best Indian food I tried in the world, yes, in the world, very simple place but the food are superlicious, give it a try and then tell me that I am not lying. This two places I recommend are affordable. Must go! Newton Food circus, a food paradise, and recommended are the seafood, try stingray with chilli, black pepper crab and for dessert, try 'ice kacang'. The environment there are very carnival like, you can see most faces smile and please do not eat lunch before you go there.
