China Town' LookAround
Nok arrived on late Friday night and I still hadn't had a real plan where in SG I should show her, save for my neighborhood must-have prawn dumpling at the corner wanton mee shop. The next morning i came up with the schedule - breakfast at cheese prata shop & treetop walk at MacRitchie Reservoir - and per request, a visit to MerLion.
After Breakfast it was way too bright and hot for trekking.. we decided to go shopping first, so we headed to Bugis area first, targetted to leave at 2pm to reach the reservoir at 3pm in order to reach the tree top walk before its 5pm closing hour.
shopping went well as it was the 2nd day of Great Singapore sale and Nok still would love to shop more when 2pm come, since the weather was still very hot we agreed to move the reservoir to sunday morning instead. continue shopping til hungry and the next stop was Dim Sum tea break in Chinatown.
We have had entered the china town area for a while, the 2 photograp maniacs were still tirelessly taking shots after shots..
i was patiently waiting, i waited and waited.. and..
Hey.. are you two planning to rot at this spot for the whole day? let's move..
Stopped by at souvenir shop, this one got nice postcards but kind of pricey.. we admired them for another long while but eventually Nok went to buy a dozen from neighbor shop -not as nice picture-wise but cut the price by half...I think I see the attendants at the 1st stall gave us a crossed look...
Messing around in souvenir shop, we practically touched every pieces in this shop. The concept of the store is cool, 3 of anything cost 10$.. Nok got her souvenir T-shirts here. I got a few dramatic hair accessories for mom.
On our way up to the yum cha house, we had a very small meal ever.. like 5 baskets and tea. . .for 3 persons... that's very little.. but we planned to go some other food at another place.. so there was motivation :)
