We always loved to visit Singapore anytime as this Lion City is very safe and spotlessly clean with neat looking boulevards that line up the trendiest homes and prominent landmark buildings. You could also marvel at the abundance of greens with plentiful of well trimmed old shady trees and forest reserves everywhere. No wonder the temperature was 36 DEGREES CELSIUS yet it was not hot at all. Our trip was quite a rush to visit 2 very sick uncles and meet up with my wife's childhood friends. Everyone was so nice and overfed us with so much delicious food until I put on 2 kilos in 2 days. No kidding!
This beautiful couple, Steve & Samantha Hou are long time personnel heads attached to the Singapore's Carlton and Resort's World Hotels, so they know what exactly is fabulous breakfasts, lunch and dinner. They suggested that we must try the very famous New York's chic restaurant that has made its way across the Atlantic to Singapore. The chef husband & wife founders have won waves of US and International recognition, with New York Magazine voting twice for their Best Blueberry Pancakes.

Thank you very much Steve & Samantha - We Luv Ya!!
We parted after our good & satisfying breakfast with juicy gossips.
We caught up with my wife's aunt and took the much needed
long walk to burn away all my belly fats.
Purvis Street is lovely with the well preserved Chinese heritage
buildings.
The Raffles Hotel Singapore at Beach Road.
Pretty sidewalk along Raffles Hotel.
The majestic architecture of the Singapore Art Museum
along Bras Basah Road.
Look at the huge & old beautiful tree standing outside
SOTA Singapore School Of The Arts,
facing Zubir Said Drive.
Our walk ended at the curio and chic shop at
Plaza Singapura @ Orchard Road.
My Own Verdict:
500 Calories Burnt.
***
Wahhhh nice breakfast.
ReplyDelete500 calories burnt is good. Hahaha
Hi hi hi hi... I simply guessed the calories. I think I ate too much delicious food.
DeleteI want the pancakes with blueberries! You sure you put on 2 kilos in 2 days? I can do much better. hahahahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteI also like No. 5 (pancakes with blueberries)
DeleteWalau Eh! This PH Aunty really can hentam more than 2 kilos! I surrender woii....
DeleteNo. 5 is very nice. You should go and try since you live in Singapore.
Never mind the calories.. just enjoy the food, the company and the scenery! By the way, it was a long walk, I presume.. from
ReplyDeleteRaffles to Orchard Road, no joke!
Yes it was a long walk but I didn't feel so hot as they have lots of buildings to keep the blazing sun away.
DeleteWelcome to Singapore TM! I like your vivid description of Singapore.
ReplyDeleteI also like the building and architecture of Raffles Hotel, when I was young, I took photos there
DeleteI have one friend ever worked in the Human Resource Department of Raffles Hotel
DeleteSingapore is one of the loveliest place to live in this world besides San Francisco. I wish to blog more on my next visit.
DeleteEverything looks pretty neat there, and having chef couple as friends, I hope they served best to your taste buds. The white heritage building looks wonderful and I also liked the way they allowed to the old tree to grow rather cutting off.
ReplyDeleteYou will love this republic where the streets are so neat and clean with very systematic transportation. Lots of tourists love to visit Singapore. I hope to visit New Delhi and Jaipur next year.
DeleteYour no. 4 (eggs benedict) looks very different from the ones here...this one looks almost like a rolled up omelette...hehe! ;D What a great way to burn off 500 calories (your verdict!) by taking in the lovely sights. At the end of your walk, if you had continued with some shopping at Plaza Singapura, you would have burnt off another 500 calories (my estimate!)...kekeke! :D
ReplyDeleteNow I think I could have made a mistake on the menu's name. I kinda agree that it doesn't look like Eggs Benedict. Help me! LOL
DeleteYou are right. I could have burnt more calories inside Plaza Singapura but we plonked into the sofas at Starbucks.
500 calories burnt? I think your breakfast easily more than that hehehehe...
ReplyDeleteSsssh! I knew you would blurt out my lies. I think it could have been 1500 calories on my breakfast but who cares ha.... Wakakaka just enjoy.
DeleteTo complete the post, you must mention the caloric value of the Farmer's Plate.
ReplyDeleteI wanna stay thin and frail like you. Do you dig your throats as you often ate like cows.
DeleteI wouldn't know how many calories on the Farmer's Plate. Do you?
Good evening TM... The weather here is hot today... Sweating...
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Maam.
DeleteIt rained so hard early this morning but it is so warm now. Freaking weather.
Oh, you end your walk at Plaza Singapura, thought you will continue walking from Plaza Singapura till Botanic Garden or somewhere else, lol...
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I am not like you who covers so many connectors all over Singapore. You are really a new Jane Fonda. Muahahaha
DeleteWhen i get to meet you and Mrs TM, we cheer to coffee... kakaka....
ReplyDeleteYes we should yam seng over coffee.
DeleteOh wow, you were in SG? Nice to know you had a good time here. Oh, I love your new profile pix here. Totally cool, Tan!
ReplyDeleteYes I always have the best times for every visit to SIngapore. My profile pix is old one lah.
DeleteWhen we feel safe in a country, it make the trip much more interesting and pleasing. Great looking food..enjoy
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that when we feel safe in overseas, our holidays are more relaxed.
DeleteHi! Nice trip to Singapore. I think you and your wife had a nice time there, meeting good friends and relatives.
ReplyDeleteWe always enjoyed our trips to Singapore as we have many friends and relatives living there.
DeleteHow are your and your wife uncles? They must be so happy that you both visited them.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, both the uncles were very pleased. We might go again soon as Time & Tide Waits For No Man.
DeleteJust want to go back to Singapore, a lovely city and so much to see. Besides, a good friend also lives there. The food looks good and it becomes better with the best company. Love the all smiles photo, looking great everyone!
ReplyDeleteSo many Filipinos live and work in Singapore! I thought your good friend is Clay and he has moved to Tokyo.
DeleteLuv the sight of old buildings they are so.. so.. solid
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. Both Penang and Singapore have very beautiful and old solid buildings.
DeleteGot bump into SIS or not?
ReplyDeleteI have not been to SG for 20 yrs already LOL.
I didn;t have time as it was just a rush for 2 days there.
DeleteYou must visit Singapore soon as 20 years has seen many changes. Even their Merlions have multiplied some offsprings.
It's been a long long time since my last visit to Singapore >_< Wanna bring Sam to USS but the currency exchange rate really put me off ~>_<~
ReplyDeleteYes I also agree that the currency hurts my pockets and their hotels are even more expensive than Tokyo! Unbelievable.
DeleteLooking at those food, you need to more than 1000 calories la! Kekekeke!
ReplyDeleteYeah I just tipu that I burnt 500 calories when the food was over 2000 calories.
DeleteI love Singapore too. Have been going there several times the past few years and each time we MUST visit Universal Studio (for the boys lah). The last we were there was January this year. My boys are pestering us to go again but I told them we can't afford it anymore as our RM is worthless against their Spore dollar now :(
ReplyDeleteThat was so generous of you to visit the Universal Studios several times!! Time to visit the bigger one in Osaka.
DeleteOur ringgit are falling like rotten durians. So sad lah!
My first time visit to Sg was so so long ago. Now barely can afford to go. So near yet to far...ahahha
ReplyDeleteHeh heh... Just tell HB to visit Singapore and you will wake up there.
DeleteWould love to visit Singapore again. But so expensive now! Grrrr
ReplyDeleteYou are so wealthy and money is no problem for you.
