It’s been a
while since travels across borders are allowed due to current pandemic
situation. My family and I have been reminiscing about our trip to the Land of
the Merlion. We took the trip back in 2019 and really enjoyed ourselves as we
rendezvous through Singapore’s tourist and local hotpots.
We checked
into Dorsett Singapore for our trip and was pleasant satisfied with the
beautiful hotel and its modern contemporary design. Location was also excellent
as the hotel is set above the Outram Park MRT Station, making its easy for us
to maneuver around the city through public transportation.
Our Deluxe
Room had a lovely city view. We requested for an extra bed as well for our
little one. Equipped with all essential and a little more of room and bathroom
amenities, this hotel is one of the nicer and premium category hotels in
Singapore. We stayed 3D2N and was indeed well-rest with the hotel’s premium bed
and facilities.
Besides the
view of the city is lovely and the breakfast option is also very good. Too bad
we spent more time touring the city that using the facilities of the swimming
pool and other facilities. Maybe we can do that the next round.
Searching
for a hotel that best caters to your needs are now as easy as it can be.
Such websites now offer plenty of options and prices with hotel guest reviews
that helps to reiterate your needs on hotel stays.
One can also
opt to stay at Sentosa Island hotel if you are planning to enjoy Sentosa during
your trip there as there are plenty to do on the island itself. In fact,
Capella Sentosa Hotel pop-up recently on my social media feeds. Possibly
because I have been doing a little travel search on Hotel in Singapore
to plan my trips once the borders are open!
We visited Singapore’s
Science Centre on our trip and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was truly a
very knowledgeable experience and we also had a blast taking lots of photos.
One of the must- experience at this Science Centre is their Omni-Theatre where
we catch the amazing Great Bear Rainforest show in Southeast Asia's first 8K 3D
Digital Dome Theatre.
There’s
plenty to do and one can certainly spent half day to a full day there easily
exploring all science displays at the Atrium. Also do check out their Professor
Crackitt’s Light Fantastic Mirror Maze, Laser Maze Challenge, E-mmersive
Experiential Environments, Butterflies Up-Close, Marine Alcove and more.
While we
savored several yummy meals in Singapore, one of our most highlight was in
Chinatown in the city. Despite the many choices available there, we settled for
Chinatown Seafood and was happy with our choice of their wide range of
seafood menu.
The
restaurant is heavily packed with locals as well as tourist, a good sign that
the restaurant does cater to many. Menu is laden with lots of seafood choices
as well as meat and vegetable options along with some dim sum.
To start
off, our Xiao Long Bao was pretty decent, considering this is not a dim
sum restaurant. Each dumpling was filled with that delectable hot broth encased
in thin skinned and beautifully pleated folds.
Little one
wanted Fried Rice while I wanted to enjoy Singapore’s Chili Crab!
Sufficient to say, both of us were satiated with our choices. Fried Rice had
that lovely breath of wok hei with fluffy rice and egg.
My Singapore
Chili Crab was divine. We couldn’t resist ordering mantao to mopped up that
thick and creamy eggy spicy gravy. The crab was also very fresh and sweet. I
would reorder this anytime again…
Another dish
that also won brownie points from us was their Salted Egg Prawn Balls. Utterly
sublime, large deshelled prawns were fried and glazed in that umami savory
salted egg sauce. Truly worth its price in my books.
Our stay in Singapore
may be short but it was definitely sweet! Perhaps its now a good time to start
planning like me so that we will be ready when the borders open for travels…
