Another great trip is now coming to an end. The last couple of days, travelling across the length of the Malay peninsula - from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to Penang Island and back to Singapore have been absolutely thrilling.
We got an opportunity to meet interesting people, make new friends, have new experiences and obviously sample great food. And we carry back an excess baggage of pleasant memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives...
After a night of partying at Clarke Quay and swaying to the timeless beats of the 1980s, we were a bit hungover from lack of sleep, And we needed a great breakfast. The place to head to was undoubtedly the Balestier food market...
For me it was the classic Indo-Singaporean roti-prata with a spicy curry made with meat stock...
For Neeti, it was a masala dosa - you bet she freaks out on South Indian cuisine...
We spent the afternoon roaming around the city, meeting friends and shopping for souvenirs in Bugis. And then Neeti said she had a surprise. She guided me to VivoCity Mall on the Keppel Viaduct from where one can have a clear view of Sentosa Island...
It was quite a cloudy evening yesterday...
There is Sentosa...
The quay of Keppel cargo terminal...
There goes the Sentosa cable car...
Scenes from VivoCity...
An interesting guide on how to use the restrooms...
Being our last night in Singapore, we headed to Lau Pa Sat. Incidentally I had my first meal in Singapore during this trip here...
Mmmmm, Slurp, Slurp...
I love the traditional laksa...
After a lazy morning, we spent an hour or so packing our stuff, we headed to Changi Airport to catch our flight back home to Mumbai.
Browsing through the bookstores in Changi - I need to buy this book!
And I am going nuts over the Char Kway Teow...
This classic Singaporean stir-fry noodle dish is cooked in lard with lots of vegetables and pork...
And liberally spiced with chilli and soya...
Who wouldn't fall over in love after eating Char Kway Teow?
And Neeti is freaking out on authentic South Indian cuisine - here she goes with Adai, a lentil dosa...
She had the Adai on my recommendation, as I had thoroughly enjoyed it at Ezham Suvai, in Trichy in February 2013!
And we finally take off from Singapore onboard the Airbus A380, upper deck!
It was far too cloudy!
And as we set course for Mumbai, I sign off with a Singapore Sling! Hic!
