So I spent the weekend in Singapore celebrating the last day of Chinese New Year with family on Saturday. The 4 days trip to Singapore was finally over on Monday. 

I always like to take a walk around the center of the city especially where the Merlion is located also because this is close to the hotel. Here are some photos I took during one of the walks

Dinner on Sunday was planned at Tiong Bahru's Ting Heng Seafood Restaurant

Upon arrival was met with a surprise. As Sunday was the 16th day of the first month of the new year it is also the birthday of the monkey god as Taoists believe. Directly opposite the restaurant is the monkey god temple. On arrival there was a procession, really interesting, not seen this for decades so this was the scene there

All over Thailand one can find many delicious and clean street food. One of my favourite but rare item is bitter gourd chicken noodle or in Thai will be "kway teow gai mara"

It is basically noodles (of your choice) in soya sauce chicken soup with pieces of chicken boiled in soya sauce. At a side table are raw vegetables (including thin slices of bitter gourd of course) and sauces for customers to add themselves into the bowl of their noodle. Let me show you.

The said table with raw vegetables and sauces here you can find from left to right - Thai basil, bitter gourd, bean sprouts. From top to bottom - sour chili sauce, sugar, roasted chili flakes, un-roasted chili flakes, crushed peanuts.

Here you see customers topping up the their noodle at the "free flow" table

My 50 baht ($1.90) lunch

FINALLY! Today I got a chance to use the new terminal in the  Suvarnabhimbi Airport.

 

If you are familiar with this airport this is a video showing getting to the new terminal after immigration at the old terminal. Hope it helps.
