Orchard Road

Of course we wouldn’t miss going to the ever famous Orchard Road to do a bit of shopping. When in Singapore, it’s best to visit a few of their local brands like Charles and Keith, Forever 21, and Muji. The ladies went crazy trying to find these stores. And they all took their time once we found each of these. I patiently waited for hours outside while they do their thing. I kinda needed it too. My feet were killing me from all the walking that we were doing. I took pictures and tried to take a mental note of what Singapore looks like, including all the insurance advertising seen of the buses. It will be a while before we’d come back.

I noticed that one of the reasons why Singapore looks so clean is that the ads are only allowed in specific areas, like in buses and MRTs. No huge billboards strewn all over. The posters are neatly placed on lampposts and the size is not too big to obstruct you from seeing the city.

We also didn’t pass the opportunity to visit Royce.

And we met our favorite snack place called Old Chang Kee.

If ever you find yourself in Singapore one of these days, do try Old Chang Kee’s chicken wings, sotong on stick, and breaded prawn on stick. I think this is their version of street food, and this little shop was our favorite. They have branches all over too. So no matter where you are, I’m sure there’s one near.
