Chilli Crab - Singapore Style

Chilli crab is a seafood dish in which stir-fried crab is coated with sweet, savory and spicy tomato based sauce. This dish is often accompanied by steam or deep fried buns (also known as mantous). It really is not spicy- but it was very good. 

Thai Feast- Singapore Style

I thought I ordered Laksa - but it tasted like green curry soup.  Regardless it was delicious!
I had it along with Mango Salad - not spicy enough for me - but very refreshing on a hot, humid autumn day in Singapore.

The Singapore Flyer - Singapore's response to London's "The Eye"

The Singapore Flyer reaches 541 feet into the air.  The wheel itself measures 492 feet in diameter and sits atop a three story terminal building.

Each of the Flyer's 28 fully-enclosed, climate-controlled, school bus-sized capsules can accommodate up to 28 riders apiece during the wheel's half hour revolution. What's more, each capsule is attached to the outer edge of the structure, providing an unobstructed view of the surrounding region and, on clear days when visibility tops 28 miles, riders are treated to views of the city-state as well as nearby Indonesian islands and Malaysia.

Mongolian Morin Khuur X Guitar

Mongolian folk music featuring the  Mongolian morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) with an acoustic guitar. The voices of both the performers were outstanding.  Again, not a clue what they were singing about - but it was beautiful.

Moonfest Chinese Opera Stage

Singapore's Street Opera performances of long-ago stories.  This one is performed by the Teochew Opera  - Premier of Six Kingdoms.  I had no idea what was going on (neither did Regina!) but it was fascinating to watch.

A Beautiful Night -Singapore

This is the Esplanade Waterfront in Singapore where we were for the Moonfest.

Weekend away in Singapore

It is hard to imagine that just under a 2 hour flight from Jakarta lies the island city-state of Singapore.
It is a cosmopolitan city which has a multicultural population.  Here is the Harbor Area that reminds me of Baltimore or Sydney.

Marina Bay Sands Casino Resort is a distinctive architectural addition to Singapore's skyline.  The three slanting 55-story hotel towers are topped by the SkyPark.  Although we can not enter the SkyPark - it is a 340 meter long outdoor terrace that features the world's longest infinity pool.

The lotus shaped building to the left of the Marina Bay Sands was designed by the same architect and is the home to the Singapore Art Science Museum.
