This trip was a 3-day, 2-night adventure. To keep things concise, I'll be splitting my review into 3 parts.

Day 1: Changi Airport - Porcelain Hotel - Sri Mariamman Temple - Buddha Tooth Relic Temple - Maxwell Food Centre - Fort Canning Park - Helix Bridge.

**Day 2: Universal Studios Singapore - Siloso Beach - Palawan Beach - Supertree Grove**

Day 3: Begin your day with a traditional Singaporean breakfast at Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Afterwards, immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Hajilane. Next, explore the breathtaking Gardens by the Bay. Finally, depart from Changi Airport and arrive at Don Muang Airport.

Day 3: (February 20, 2017)

8:30 AM: Check out of the hotel and leave our luggage there. We then use Google Maps to find the legendary toast shop, Ya Kun Kaya Toast. This shop is located near our accommodation. We walk to the end of the alley like yesterday and turn left at the corner. We walk straight ahead and cross the road at the first intersection we come to. Looking straight ahead, we see a pedestrian bridge in front of us. We cross the bridge to the other side.

If you are lost, you can ask the local residents for directions.

Walk straight into the alley for about 50 meters, and you will find the shop.

9:30 AM. Even at this late hour, the restaurant is still bustling with customers. Office workers from the neighborhood are still enjoying their toast.

Kaya means coconut jam. Kaya Toast is essentially coconut jam toast. It is a popular breakfast dish in Singapore. The shop offers two options:

Set A: Crispy toast (confirmed to be very crispy) with butter and custard filling + 2 soft-boiled eggs + a drink

Set B: Soft-baked bread topped with an egg, served with kaya, 2 soft-boiled eggs, and a beverage.

After trying both versions, we preferred the crispy one. The salty butter flavor perfectly complements the sweet custard filling. The crispy bread texture is delightful, especially when dipped in the egg. We chose iced tea as our beverage, which had a pleasant flavor and wasn't overly sweet.

The beverage options include hot or iced tea/coffee.

The menu at this branch may be more diverse than other branches. There are many interesting dishes on the website that are worth trying.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

10:00 AM: Take the purple line from China Town to Little India, then transfer to the blue line and get off at Bugis Station, Exit B. Walk straight along Orphi Road until you reach the intersection with North Bridge Road. Look across the street and you will see Haji Lane.

Haji Lane is a short and narrow alleyway.

This location is distinguished by its graffiti, which features vibrant and intricate designs spray-painted or drawn on the walls.

The shops in this alley are all brightly decorated, vying with each other in their vibrancy. Entering this alley is like stepping into a kaleidoscope of colors.

Besides admiring the artwork and taking photos, there are also shops for shopping. There is also a Muay Thai shop (I'm not sure if it's a shop selling Muay Thai equipment or a boxing school).

The weather is hot, so it's a good idea to order a cold drink and sit down to enjoy it. There are many cozy corners to choose from.

Even bicycles are getting colorful. ^V^

Is it a must-visit? Not necessarily. Similar graffiti art can be found in Thailand. However, if you have time, it's worth a stop for a quick photo op before heading to your next destination.

10:30 AM: Departing from Hajilane, we boarded the blue line train from Little India station and alighted at Bayfront station to reach our final destination on this trip, Garden by the Bay. This iconic landmark signals our arrival.

The garden paths will be decorated in the style of a Chinese Garden and an Indian Garden. Visitors are welcome to take photos before the event begins.

The Gardens by the Bay is divided into two domes: the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest. The entrances are located opposite each other.

11:00 AM. We opted to enter the Flower Dome first. As the name suggests, it's a "flower dome." Just look at the entrance; it's stunning! I can't wait to see what's inside.

This dome will have a large area but will be lower than the Cloud Forest. It is a large greenhouse that controls the atmosphere to be cool and dry, similar to the Mediterranean climate. Therefore, it can grow both drought-tolerant plants such as palms and cacti, as well as cold-weather flowering plants.

The upper level is divided into various garden styles.

The lower level will feature temperate-climate flowering plants.

The highlight of this level is the central pavilion in the garden, surrounded by beautiful flowers.

Some flowers are particularly impressive, either due to their large size or their rare black color.

Visitors are only allowed to walk through the garden and are not permitted to pick flowers. Security guards are present throughout the garden to enforce this rule.

Having thoroughly admired the flowers, let's move on to the second dome.

13.00 hrs. Cloud Forest: The Cloud Forest, also known as the Cool Moist Biome, is a smaller dome than the Flower Dome, with a height of 35 meters, roughly equivalent to a ten-story building.

The highlight of this dome is the **"30-meter-high artificial waterfall"**, the tallest artificial waterfall in the world. Its impressive height creates a mist that fills the entire space.

This dome simulates a humid rainforest environment, allowing for the cultivation of a wide range of plants, from highland species to mosses and ferns. Consequently, the temperature within this dome is cooler compared to the first dome.

The dome houses a skywalk, offering stunning views of the artificial mountain.

Visitors can take the elevator to the top floor and then walk down to view each floor in turn.

The fourth floor showcases a collection of Crystal Mountain specimens from various countries, complete with informative labels.

After exploring both domes, we were exhausted and decided to grab a bite to eat outside. There is a food court located behind Cloud Forest called Satay by the Bay. As the name suggests, their signature dish is satay.

Satay, a popular Southeast Asian dish, is available here for 7 USD for 10 skewers. You can choose between pork, beef, chicken, or a combination. The peanut sauce is sweet and creamy, similar to Thai peanut sauce but with a milder flavor. Cucumber and onions are served as side dishes, but there is no pickled cucumber relish (น้ำอาจาด).

Another dish we ordered was Chicken Wing, grilled chicken served with steamed rice and sweet dipping sauce, for $5.

After ordering and paying, the restaurant will provide you with a pager and ask you to return to your table and wait. When your food is ready, the pager will light up and beep, indicating that your food is ready for pickup.

Both dishes passed our taste test today. The flavors were good.

16:30 After a satisfying meal, it's time to head home. Take the blue line from Bayfront Station to Chinatown to retrieve your luggage at the hotel. Then, board the green line from Chinatown to Outram Park to transfer to the Changi Airport branch of the green line.

Upon arrival at the airport, our first task was to proceed to the ticket office to obtain a refund of the deposit paid for the tickets.

Take the elevator to the Departure Hall. At this point, you need to check which terminal your airline is located in. Airasia is located in Terminal 1.

Follow the signs for Skytrain to Terminal 1 to board the train.

Upon arrival at Terminal 1, the AirAsia counter is conveniently located near the entrance on the right-hand side.

If you have already checked in online, you can proceed to the baggage drop-off line with your passport and boarding pass.

Please remember to check which gate your flight departs from so you can wait at the correct location.

The next part will be the most **dangerous** part of the journey. **Because this zone seems to have some kind of energy that draws us in.** Those who are weak will lose, shopping around until the file comes out. This is a way to end the trip with a light wallet. **Bye ....bye Singapore ^V^**

• The city is remarkably clean. We did not encounter any littering in public areas or on the streets.
• Traveling by train is convenient. If you are familiar with changing trains at Siam station in Bangkok, navigating the train system here is no different.
• Singaporeans stand on the left side when using escalators.
• The seats on the train near both doors are reserved for pregnant women, the elderly, children, and people with disabilities. Locals tend to avoid sitting in these seats.
• This trip did not include Merlion Park or the Fountain of Wealth. Merlion is closed for repairs until March, and there was not enough time to visit the Fountain of Wealth.
• Prohibited activities at Garden by the Bay: No food or drinks allowed, no picking flowers, no smoking, no littering.
• More information about Garden by the Bay can be found on this website: http://www.emagtravel.com/archive/gardens-by-the-bay.html

1. Round-trip airfare + 2 nights accommodation = 7,500 THB (including checked baggage and flight time changes. The price would be lower if you did not purchase additional baggage allowance or chose different flight times.)
2. USS + GBB tickets = 2,200 THB
3. Train tickets + Monorail to Sentosa = 600 THB
4. Food + drinks = 1,300 THB (estimated, I don't remember the exact amount^^)
