We left U.Studios and got back to Conrad. We immediately showered ... eager to wash away the day's grime from ourselves.
After relaxing for a bit, we decided to head over to Suntec Mall (5 minutes walk away from the hotel) for some grub. We were kinda undecided on what to have for dinner simply because we were famished and everything we saw looked so darn delicious. :p
We toured the place for a bit ... browsed through Food Republic, Fish & Co, Bali Thai, Ichiban Boshi, MOF, Pepper Lunch just to name a few. We then chanced upon the famous Fountain of Wealth.
We saw throngs of people queuing up to circle the fountain and dip their hands into its waters in the hope of bringing home some luck. We didn't bother though and headed back in for our food hunt.
In the end, we settled for Crystal Jade Kitchen as I was having a mad craving for some authentic Chinese fare.
There was quite a queue building up for a table but we soon got one albeit being seated on the walkway of the mall. These are what we ordered ...
Sour and spicy sze chuan soup
Salt & pepper fried tofu
Spinach in superior broth
Roasted and BBQ-ed pork
Yong chow fried rice
Dinner was splendid as we polished off everything on the table. Seated next to the window facing the Fountain of Wealth, we were also treated to the fountain's nightly laser show. Nothing to shout about if you ask me and it couldn't really hold a candle next to The Dubai Fountain.
After dinner, we strolled the mall and Wifey shopped a bit before we called it a night and retired back to the hotel. With dinner partially digested, we enjoyed our anniversary cake compliments of the good people at Equinox and soon slumbered. *ZZZzzz*
Very early next morning, well ... 5:00a.m. to be exact, we checked out and got into a cab to Changi Int. The taxi driver was like none of the usual ones I'm used to see back home. In his mid 20s at most, he was very trendily attired (long sleeved stipred shirt paired with jeans), I could have easily mistaken him coming home from a club or something.
We got our boarding passes and had breakfast at some kopitiam @ the airport's foodcourt.
I had two of these ... :p
At 6:45 a.m., our flight took off for home ... marking the end of a wonderful trip to a tiny island down south. Singapore enriched Wifey and I with such a pleasant holiday that we vowed to return soon for more. :)
