9:00 AM~Traditional Breakfast in Singapore--Song Fah Pork Bone Tea
Bone Tea is a unique cuisine in Nanyang. A bowl of fragrant rib soup with the flavor of herbs and chili, a bowl of white rice, and a plate of fritters is one of the most favorite breakfasts in Nanyang.
Song Fah Pork Bone Tea was founded in 1969. over the past 50 years, it has witnessed the gradual prosperity of Singapore along with the nearby Singapore River, which has also made his family's Pork Bone Tea fragrant.
Scattered Pork Bone Tea comes in traditional pork rib soup, and even more delicate and delicious dragon bone soup. The authentic way to eat it is to pour the soup over rice and put small pieces of fritters in the soup, so that the rice and fritters can fully absorb the delicious flavor of the rib soup.
After a bowl, you can ask the waiter to add more soup until you are satisfied. And the soup is delicious because the ribs are especially tender after being stewed for hours.
If you're in the mood, order a few more brussels sprouts and side dishes. It turns out breakfast can be so rich. If you can't get enough of the loose pork bone tea, you can buy a box of 10 packets of pork bone tea spices (S$22) to take home.
10:00am, hear the story of the Singapore River - the Raffles statue at Clarke Quay.
Less than 100 meters north from Songfa Bak Kut Tea is a bridge that spans the Singapore River. The left and right sides of the bridge are scenic, with many bars, restaurants and stores on the left. At night the lights are brilliant and the crowds are bustling with a lively scene of song and dance. The right side of the bridge carries the long history of Singapore, the old Parliament House, Victoria Theater, Raffles statue and so on. It records the changes since Raffles discovered Singapore.
Walking along the "History Line" on the right, you can see a series of bronze sculptures of "Riverside Stories". They tell the story of how people used to trade on the banks of the river and how hard the laborers worked. They also show the life of the old Singaporeans through a variety of lifelike figures. A short walk to Singapore's Asian Civilizations Museum reveals a white statue of Raffles at the starting point of Sir Raffles' first discovery of Singapore and his first ascent to the island in 1819. This white statue is a replica of an earlier bronze statue of Raffles. The real bronze statue stands not far away in front of the Victoria Theater and will be 100 years old by 2014. Singapore doesn't have a long history, but there are countless stories to tell. A 10-minute walk along the river can help you get a simplified Singapore history lesson.
1:00 Stroll through the gardens of the Garden City, - Gardens by the Bay.
Marina Bay Gardens (MarinaBayGarden) is a large scenic spot on the edge of Marina Bay, combined with the concept of Singapore's "Garden City", to create "a city in a garden, a garden in a city". Because of the large area, if you want to visit the whole garden, at least one day. Therefore, we recommend a boutique tour, mainly to appreciate the two theme parks - Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. The Flower Dome is the world's largest pillar-less flower house, where the temperature is kept at 23-25 all year round. the Flower Dome covers an area of 1.2 hectares, which is equivalent to the size of 2.2 soccer pitches.
There are exotic flowers from all over the world, including a 500-year-old olive tree from the Mediterranean Sea, a baobab tree from the classic French tale of The Little Prince, and a variety of colorful and beautiful flowers everywhere. Many of the flowers inside the dome change regularly with the seasons, allowing you to experience the Lion City's year-round spring, summer, fall and winter in the summer.
The Cloud Forest is home to a 35-meter-high man-made humid temperate mountain forest and waterfall. Along the walkways, you can see a variety of ferns, gymnosperms, hogweed, and other flowers and plants that you may have only seen in instructional books. The higher you go, the more misty it gets, and the top level is called "The Lost World. With all the rare plants in the background, you'd think you were in fairyland.
The clouds spray at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. If you want to fully experience the beauty of the cloud wonderland, remember to enter the park at these times.
2:30 Try Singapore's popular cuisine: coffee crab and chili crab - GrandBay Seafood Restaurant.
For lunch, we recommend going to Hua Guan Seafood Restaurant, which is located under the Flower Dome. Not only because of the convenient location, but also because of the wide selection of raw seafood and delicious Cantonese cuisine.
Hua Guan's signature dish is coffee crab, a "coffee sauce" made from Brazilian, Arabic and white coffee beans. Applesauce is added to balance the bitterness of the coffee, and then a layer of coffee liquor is poured over the crab shell. The result is the spectacular flaming coffee crab when served.
Almost all of the flavor of the caramelized popcorn is encased in the outer layer, while the crab meat retains its own sweetness. The coffee flavor lingers on your fingertips long after you're done eating. Another natural to try is the chili crab, Singapore's national dish. If there is a large crowd, it is recommended to try both kinds of crabs; if there are only 2-3 people, then go for the latter as it is the national dish after all. When choosing crabs, about 1.2kg each is best.
If you are staying in Singapore for more than a day, I would suggest you not to rush to order the big crabs here. Prices at tourist spots in Singapore are not exactly "rip-offs" but they are always higher (around 10%) than elsewhere.
Recommend more home-cooked dishes and snacks, such as stir-fried asparagus with garlic and wild mushrooms, seafood casserole, chili crab potstickers, and barbecued pork buns. Take note of the restaurant's opening hours and don't miss out on your meal while walking around the main theme park.
16:30 Feel the ultimate luxury of Singapore - Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands, belonging to the same group as Las Vegas and Sands Macao, is a comprehensive resort with hotels, shopping, dining, entertainment, theaters, museums, and conference centers. When you come out from the Gardens by the Bay, you will first come to the Sands Hotel. Its top floor is home to the famous open-air infinity pool, but it is only open to hotel guests. While you can pay S$20 for a view from the observation deck, it's not a good deal if you can't see the pool.
From the basement of the Sands Hotel, you can access the Sands Mall directly. There are so many luxury stores you can't see a thing, and a "river" similar to the Venice of Macau, where you can wander in a state of luxury.
Whether you have a shopping plan or not, walking around Sands is a luxury. In addition, the 15,000-square-meter Sands Casino charges S$100 for locals but is free for outsiders. Almost every visitor to the area goes there to broaden their horizons and try their luck.
On the other side of the Sands mall is the LV flagship store, the Esplanade, and the prospect of Singapore's financial district. the LV flagship store looks like a ship from the side, with the word LV looking down in a high end atmosphere. It is unique in terms of the mall, which shows its grandeur and ostentation.
17:30 Arts & Science Bi-New Art & Science Museum
From the LV flagship store along the riverbank, you will find the Art & Science Museum. It is another iconic landmark in Marina Bay, and is known as "Singapore's welcoming hand".
The building has 10 "fingers" in its shape, each designed to represent a different exhibition space. "Light from the skylights at the tips of the fingers shines through the magnificent curved interior walls.
Unlike many history and culture museums, the Art and Science Museum's exhibits often reflect a perfect blend of aesthetics and science, such as the former Lego sculpture Eames, National Geographic's 50 Best Photographs, and a recent exhibition of designs by modern American furniture designer Eames. If you have time, pop in and soak up the rich art scene.
18:30YEATION Stall (Makansutra Taotie Bay)
Old Peach Bay is Singapore's only alfresco dining center, adjacent to the "durian-shelled" Esplanade, alongside the Singapore River, facing the Sands, and with a view of the Fishtail Lions. The view is breathtaking.
Makan Sutra, the English name for Gourmet Bay, shares its name with the media company of Singapore's renowned "God of Food", Stuart Kwok Fai. The 10 stalls here are all selected and organized by Szeto himself, and each stall is delicious.
Gourmet Bay has almost all of Singapore's signature dishes, as well as a variety of food with a strong Southern flavor, including chili crab, satay, turnip cake, curry fish head, Hokkien noodle, stir-fried _______ strips, tandoori, grilled chicken wings, spicy devil fish, cereal shrimp, etc. Each stall sells a different kind of food, and each stall sells a different kind of food. Each stall sells different food, saving you the trouble of having to pick and choose. You can order whatever you want.
Finally, don't forget to order another big fresh coconut or a lime juice like the locals do. The countless delicacies will surely fill your stomach. Gourmet Bay is only open for dinner and late night snacks. Please note the schedule if it changes.
20:00 Enchanting Night View of the Seaside Marina Bay Night View of the Seaside Arts Center
The best place to see the night view of Marina Bay is in front of the Gourmet Bay, close to the Floating Stage that you passed by earlier. Here, the golden sands, the Art and Science Museum's "Singapore's Welcoming Hand" and the Double Helix Bridge combine perfectly to make them sparkle at night. Before the rise of the Sands, the Esplanade, in the shape of two large durian shells, was Singapore's most iconic building apart from the Fishtail Lion statue. The Arts Center has a theater, a concert hall, an arts library, many art-filled restaurants and stores. Compared with the theater at Sands, it is slightly smaller, but there are more traditional and classic music, singing, dancing and stage performances, so it is more literary and less commercial than Sands. Around February every year, Singapore celebrates the "Chinese Arts Festival". At that time, the works of Chinese artists who have excelled in various fields of art will be presented in various forms. There are often free performances at the "Big Durian". Interested parties can check the performance schedule on the official website.
20:30 Singapore's classic landmark, never to be seen - the Fishtail Lion Statue.
The Fishtail Lion is to Singapore what the Statue of Liberty is to the Americas and the Eiffel Tower is to France, and in 1964, Fraser Brunner, the director of the Van Cleef Aquarium, designed this lion-faced, fish-tailed sculpture.
Everyone who comes to Singapore will take a photo with it, but many people don't know that this intact fishtail lion has gone through a variety of stories.
In February 2009, it was struck by lightning and a hole the size of a soccer ball appeared in the lion's head. At the 2011 Singapore Biennale, it was temporarily transformed into the world's strangest "one-room hotel". There is only one room in the hotel, and when you walk into the room, a large lion's head will be pointed at you. Whether it's funny or scary, let your imagination take over.
The creativity is limitless when it comes to taking pictures with the fishtail lions. People close to the lion can pinch the lion with their fingers, spray water on the overlapping image of the lion, and open their mouths to catch the lion's "saliva". And you can shoot this effect on the platforms on both sides of the fishtail lion image.
21:30 The more beautiful the night - open-air viewing of Marina Bay's laser water screen show, "Fantastic Mass"
It's a laser water screen show, which is staged on time every night at Marina Bay. It's one of the top 50 free attractions in the world in 2013.
This water screen show can only be seen at the Riverside Plaza behind the Sands Mall. If you're too tired after a long day, you can also watch the spectacular view of the colorful lasers on the other side of the river (in the direction of the Esplanade), but you can't see the water curtain.
