Gardens by the Bay, Singapore

The highlight of our last visit to Singapore was Gardens by the Bay. Certainly a break from the concrete jungle of the metropolitan feel!

Singapore Flyer

One of my most anticipated destination in Singapore was the Singapore Flyer. The Ferris wheel-observation structure gives an idea of Singapore urban structure which I have always wanted to see from that angle.  Here are some pictures to share. 

Of course, we couldn't go up there with and empty stomach. One can't go wrong with the Cha Kuey Tiaw mix here.

Ice tea's a great compliment too. Love the cups and its not too sweet.

and along with some popia. All these can be enjoyed at the food-court at the base of the flyer.

 The lush green rainforest courtyard greets us upon arrival to the lobby.

These are the capsules which will take up to the top....

And the views from above....

Marina Bay Sands - Singapore

Another one of our recent trip to Singapore, was in time to see the opening of the Marina Bay Sands area. My favourite component of the urban design in this area is the double helix DNA bridge (pedestrian) that connects to the main part of the city and the Singapore Flyer. Going to the top of the tower and looking back down is also exciting witnessing the botanical garden under construction and the rest of the CBD areas.
