Road Trip in Singapore - South East Asia Aquarium

Hello!!!

After leaving Singapore for a few months, I went back for my holiday. My mom said that I am a tourist because of the way I dress and the way I speak (although I still have Singaporean accent). So, being a 'tourist' in Singapore, I went to explore the tourist attractions in Singapore with Basil.

Actually come to think of it, I think the people living in the country don't go to their own country's tourist attractions. I haven't taken the Singapore Flyer nor the Duck Tour before since it was launched. And this is my first time going to the South East Asia Aquarium and Gardens by the Bay.

Because we had a car, so we decided to go on a road trip around Singapore. The first stop, we went to Tanjong Katong to have wanton noodles!!! Basil asked me what is the 1st dish I want to eat when I'm back in Singapore and I replied wanton noodles!!! Haha. For those people staying in the east side of Singapore, I guess you guys will know this place. I love their home made chili. It's really spicy. Haha. I tried a little and I couldn't take it already.

After lunch, we went to the South East Asia Aquarium at Sentosa. Apparently, it's the world's largest aquarium accredited by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™. It's my 1st time here and I thought it's like Underwater World. But the only thing different is, it's much bigger and there's more spices of fishes to see I guess. I am not a 'fish' person, so I think all the fishes look the same to me. But I do like colourful fishes though. There's also a 4D theatre about ship wreck and I think the story is damn stupid. The main character of the story are from some old chinese dynasty and they were speaking english -_-|||   But I like the way they design the place. After everyone exit the theatre, there was a shipwreck scene in the aquarium.

#1 After you enter the entrance, there's some cultural introduction of the South East Asia countries. 

#2 This is the ship wreck scene I was talking about. 

#3 A school of fish. Haha.

#5

#6 I like the concept that the floor is transparent so that you can see the fishes underneath. I was asking Basil will it crack if someone super fat stepped on it and he said no. Because it didn't crack when I stepped on it -_-|||

#7 There is a touch pool where you can touch those sea animals like star fish and baby sharks.

#8 Somehow these stingray reminds me of Steve Irwin =(

#9 And Basil was contemplating how much will it cost if we were to eat the whole thing -_-|||

#10 Seahorse!!!

#11 The male seahorses carry the babies until they are born. I guess most of you already know that. Haha. 

#12 This octopus is damn ugly la. 

#13 Starfish!!! I remember when I was in secondary school, my teacher told me about the 'Starfish story'.

#17 I love colourful fishes!!

#18 Look at the dolphin!!! So pretty!!!

#19 Jellyfish

#20 There's this super huge glass window where you can view the fishes. But my phone camera couldn't capture the whole thing. 

#21

#22 I wanted to take a OOTD but it failed because the camera overexposed in the dark -_-|||

#24 This fish looks like someone drew on it's body.

#25 Colorful fishes =)

#32 That's Nemo!!

#34 That's the pufferfish. I think it looks cuter when it is puffed up. Haha. If not it looks damn ugly =(

#35

#36 That's us =)

#37 With the hammerhead shark!! The lady helping us to take that picture was very nice. She waited for the shark to come and snapped the picture for us. But we waited for so long that my smile looks fake. haha. 

#38 They had this Noah's ark concept for the decoration outside. LOL. That explains the giraffe I guess. 

#39 The summary of the aquarium =)

After the aquarium, we thought that it was quite early, so we decided to go to Gardens by the Bay to take a look since both of us haven't been there. We wanted to go up to the giant tree and inside the 2 flower dome but we didn't know that we needed to pay to get in. We decided that it wasn't worth it to pay because we were only there for less than half a day. So we just walked around the place and fed the bugs and mosquitos there with our blood -_-||| Luckily it was already evening time when we reached there, so the sun wasn't as strong as in the day, if not I'll become BBQ already =( 

But overall, the place is quite pretty on the outside. I'll go there another time to see what is inside the flower dome and go to the top of the giant trees to take a look.

#47 The view of Singapore on our way back.

After looking at stingrays, we had cravings for BBQ stingrays. So, we had BBQ stingrays and clams at Chomp Chomp!!! Haha. I am also having cravings for it now =(

PS. My camera doesn't do the pictures justice because I'm only using my iphone camera. The scenery looks nicer in real life.

I went to eat here twice with Cindi. The 1st time was to celebrate my birthday and the 2nd time was for dinner. The place was quite difficult to find as the place there has too many restaurants that it got covered. One good thing about the place is that it opens until very late at night (like 3am or something).

I kept comparing the food with Madang's and I think their food is not as good. Just by comparing the kimchi alone, I think that Madang's kimchi is so much better. I don't really eat vegetables but I actually liked Madang's kimchi. I kept asking for refill at Madang but here, we didn't manage to finish the kimchi. As for the stews, I think that their stew is not as thick. Their stew is very bland and watery.

Although the food wasn't as good compared to Madang, it's still good for supper after clubbing according to Chanya. Haha. I guess it's a good place for supper if you feel like eating something hot at night.

#1 Baked oyster: I love it!! I don't usually eat oyster, especially raw oyster because I cannot stand the fishy taste or the sea taste. But this oyster is awesome!!! You should try it. 

#2 Kimchi stew: I think the soup is okay only. The soup is quite bland compared to Madang's kimchi stew. I still prefer Madang's kimchi stew. 

#3 Tofu stew: This is actually one of its better stew compared to the other stews that they had. 

#4 Calamari: I think the calamari is okay only. Not very nice. 

#5 Beef rib stew: Cindi ordered this but I didn't try it. But I think she said it was also okay only.
