Lunchgang Tour of Singapore In Pictures

Here are some pictures during the Lunchgang Boys' Weekend Away in Singapore.

Day 1: Being tech geeks (I am the only exception, probably.....), we spent some time at Funan IT Mall and Sim Lim Square. We were scolded by a taxi driver for not saying the 'right' name of Funan IT Mall, even though we were sure it was called Funan IT Mall. It was apparently called Funan Centre. I took Jester and Kakarrot on a 20-minute walk from Sim Lim Square to Funan IT Mall after convincing them that it was near...... I never heard the end of that as it was not actually in our plan to walk for 20 minutes in a hot and sweaty city! Dinner was at Fish & Co. where a pouty waitress dissed me for getting their menu wrong. After that, we went off for late night shopping at Mustafa Centre where someone really felt at home! By the time we left at around 1am, some of us were tired and delirious, and our speech became slurry! At one point, Jester agreed to some 'unacceptable' proposition!



Started Day 2 with brunch at Adam Road Food Centre. The nasi lemak at Stall No. 2 was a must-try item. Apparently you should also try the soto ayam and mee sup ayam. Our table was so full with food that we got disapproving looks from other tables!



After brunch, it was time to hit Vivocity, with the intention of getting some Beard Papa custard puffs and a short stop at Mothercare. But Mothercare short stop became the complete Vivocity tour! While at Vivocity, Prez got a balloon for himself and we were told off for taking pictures at Beard Papa.



Dinner that evening was at Jumbo Seafood at River Walk. While in Singapore, you should try the chili crab, a local Singaporean delicacy and the 'mantou' (deep fried bread). You should also try scallop in yam basket.



Brunch on Sunday was at Samy's Curry. We learnt that you need to know exactly where you want to go, or else the taxi driver will get stroppy with you! The food at Samy's was a good way to forget the taxi episode. Must-haves are the big prawn curry, lime juice and chicken masala.



The rest of Sunday was spent doing frantic, last-minute shopping. Somehow you could end up more than you wanted to if you were shopping in a hurry. It was always a good thing to end a trip to Singapore with a visit to Burger King, or if you were Prez and Kakarrot, a visit to the Indian Food Place. Prez had a friendly neighbour in the plane......
