Singaporetourismmap: Fairies Together With Proper Fish Together With Chips

The outset of the weekend meant to a greater extent than exploring to locomote done.  Fri eventide brought alongside it our customary plans of a few drinks afterward operate alongside friends, earlier coming together them though my fiance in addition to I went to a bar called Divine inwards the Parkview Square.  The edifice genuinely stands out in addition to yous can't aid but let out it as it was built in an fine art deco manner in addition to is amazing to hold off at.  I sympathize it was originally going to locomote a hotel but that was non to be and it is forthwith an component subdivision block.  What I didn't realise until lately though was that in that place is also a bar on the Ground flooring of the building.


The bar is as as impressive as the building is from the outside with its high ceilings, depression lighting in addition to amazing fine art deco blueprint in addition to features.  It genuinely feels similar you've stepped dorsum to the 1920s.  However the genuinely practiced component subdivision nearly the bar is the vino collection or rather the rather unique way inwards which the bar staff collect your chosen bottle of vino in 1 trial you've selected it.

This painting shows the vino alternative which as yous tin ship away hopefully appreciate is fairly large in addition to yous sure as shooting couldn't gain the wines at the locomote past times (at the bottom of this painting is the outset of the regular bar).  So what produce the waitresses do.....?  They attach a wire to their dorsum in addition to are hoisted upwardly inwards the air by this to the appropriate component subdivision of the cabinet.  To larn inwards fifty-fifty to a greater extent than quirkier the waitress, whose project it is to produce that, has a dyad of fairy wings attached to her back.  Unfortunately I was not able to larn a painting of the waitress inwards activity but we've already said nosotros demand to larn dorsum therefore hopefully I'll create out to larn a painting then.

Saturday saw a trip to the Marina Bay Sands hotel a real novel hotel in addition to as you'll watch from the painting below a real striking and distinctive edifice on the Singapore skyline.  As yous can the edifice has 3 towers in addition to and therefore what looks similar a boat straddling the top.  Up at the locomote past times in that place is an infinity puddle (you wouldn't grab me inwards there) in addition to a viewing platform looking out over Singapore.

You accept to pay $20 which is around £10 to larn upwardly to this viewing platform in addition to although the views were practiced I don't think it was worth that form of money.  You could non feasibly pass hardly anytime upwardly in that place as asides from the views in addition to getting closed to the infinity puddle in that place isn't much else to do.  All in that place was a snack bar type house selling hot dogs, mutual frigidity drinks in addition to a few souvenirs.  I'm non sure if nosotros got in that place likewise early on as in that place did appear to locomote a eatery or something but this was closed in addition to didn't hold off to locomote opening whatever fourth dimension soon.  I think they sure as shooting could accept a bar at to the lowest degree upwardly there so yous could relish the views over a drink.  We were able to larn closed to the infinity puddle (picture below) but solely hotel guests are allowed inwards it therefore yous halt upwardly feeling similar yous are gawping at all these people staying inwards the hotel as they larn for their swim.  Not that relaxing for them I'm sure!  After that it was dorsum downward to the exit.

I produce accept to nation the views over Singapore were lovely but as often is the illustration hither it was real hazy therefore unfortunately nosotros could non watch that far.  However it is one to cross of the listing as they say.

On the means abode nosotros noticed that a store near us describing itself as a traditional British fish in addition to flake store looked to locomote open. (UPDATE - Jan 2016 Smiths Fish in addition to Chips on Tanjong Katong Road is forthwith closed. If yous are craving your Brit manner fish in addition to flake cook they notwithstanding accept a branch at Balmoral Plaza, Bukit Timah Road)  It appeared a few weeks agone in addition to we've been patiently waiting for it to opened upwardly in addition to today the shutters were up.  So that eventide nosotros took a wander downward to watch what they had to offer.

It turned out they weren't officially opened upwardly as they notwithstanding didn't accept their license though they are all laid to larn in addition to promise to locomote opened upwardly this week.  However they invited us inwards for a potable in addition to nosotros ended upwardly spending the whole eventide there.  I think nosotros were the solely people in that place who didn't know anyone else but that didn't thing as the shutters were up, the tables out inwards the front end in addition to anyone was welcome.  We got chatting to some other local expats, exchanged numbers in addition to as a trial I'm off to the film house tomorrow alongside 1 of them.  More on that when I've been as I get together I'm going to a rather flash cinema, sure as shooting compared to anything I've experienced before!

The trouble organisation is existence run past times British expats, alongside a British chef in addition to they innovation to import cod, haddock in addition to plaice to larn inwards fully authentic and in addition to therefore some other fish to a greater extent than geared upwardly for the locals.  Of course of written report nosotros also got to sample some fish in addition to chips that nighttime in addition to man child were they good!!!  I can't genuinely recollect when I concluding went to a chippie but it would accept been quondam earlier I moved out hither inwards July in addition to so they genuinely hitting the spot.  Needless to nation we'll locomote heading dorsum in that place in 1 trial to a greater extent than real presently I am sure.



UPDATE - Oct 2011


As this is 1 of my most pop posts despite having been written but over a twelvemonth agone forthwith I idea I'd ameliorate update 1 slice of data on here.  I sympathize that visitors tin ship away no longer access the infinity puddle expanse on the locomote past times of the Marina Bay Sands.  When nosotros visited this component subdivision was notwithstanding accessible to non-residents, though yous could non genuinely purpose the pool.  I approximate the feeling I had at the fourth dimension that I was slightly intruding on the guests has made them create upwardly one's heed to closed off this expanse in addition to honour guests privacy.  Regardless it is belike fourth dimension that I paid some other see hither to watch what has changed inwards the interim period.
