Can anyone recommend a good shops thats near the MRT, we only have 4 days so dont have time to look around.
Thanks
H :)
-
No but I am sure on your shopping travels you could ask the locals or you might come across some kitchen shops anyway
-
I have been googling, but of course no idea whete the places are :)
-
Have you tried posting the question on Trip Advisor? I always find I get answers very quickly on the message boards there.
-
I THINK there is one out at Tampines. It's a fair way out though. I have done a lot of looking when I'm up there but haven't seen any. Most people in Singapore don't prepare food, they eat out all the time as it is so nice and reasonably priced.
-
Ther will be plenty of maps and guides available . Just ask the concierge. They live for questions like that.
Gert
-
Just sent you a PM Hally with the shops I previously sent you.
Just posting on here in case you don't check your email as I have been outand only just got home now.
Have a great trip and enjoy the food. It's a pity we miss each other by a week :)
-
Grab a taxi Hally to the places you don't know. Taxis are very reasonable in Singapore.
-
Thanks MF, just seen email & pm :)
Yes I remeber thinking a txi from Sentisa home was about the same price for 3 of us n the mrt :-))
H :)
-
Taxis are the way to go even with just two persons :) I rarely use the MRT when there Hally.
Glad you got my email.
Just email if you want anymore restaurant info. And let me know if you discover any new ones.
Enjoy :)
-
Will do MF.
St Regis sunday brunch is a must, but not enough time this trip.
Tomorrow night we are going to chijmes :)
H :)
-
Love chijmes :)
Hope you get to Indochine at Clarke Quay.
I can't wait to be there soon. My 1st time at Grand Prix.
Was in Singapore at Grand Prix time 3 years ago. My BF from Scotland met me there to celebrate our birthdays.
It was buzzing but we didn't go to the race.
Will go as we have tickets but see much more on tv.
Hope CP has a great time x 8)
-
Thanks MF, taxi ere any minute.
H :)
-
Happy shopping Hally.
-
Looked at Tangs dept store today but nothing much diiferent apart from some Le Creuset items I hvent seen efore, but still very expensive
H :)
-
Hally you won't really find Singapore that much cheaper for most things. Except perhaps shoes.
-
We have discovered that today. We thought it was cheaper last time we were here.
The best thing though is choice :)
Off to dinner nw.
H :)
-
Hally have fun shopping :D
-
The prices are not cheap Hally but when you convert the currency difference most things are still cheaper than home and endless shops so much more variety.
Have a great day today at Marina Bay Sands and Vivocity. The German pub on the river at Vivocity is good for lunch and have a nice alfresco dining area.
Happy Shopping ;D ;D ;D
Packing for Melbourne tomorrow and then all day cooking for DH
-
It's called Brotzeit German Bar and restaurant,
Harbourfront Walk,
Lower level Vivocity :)
-
Thanks MF.
Just love it here.
With our free upgrade we get complimentary room service breakfast. I have just irdered it, thers enough for the 3 of us, LOL. Dh fruit platter & yoghurt, ds cooked, me toast.
The restaurant we wanted to go to last night at chijmes has closed. Mainly western food there, but still good.
Might check the pub out thanks :) dh loves saurkraut, me yuk, but anything waterfront alfresco is good.
Taxis last night $10 each way, the mrt would br $6.30, so yes taxi way to go :)
H :)
-
What time is it over there Hally and mrt, what does that stand for - never been to Singapore so have no idea ;D
-
That's a shame restaurant had closed but so long as you still had a nice meal.
I hate sauerkraut but they have lots of other foods on the menu.
The pork hock is good.
Do nice pizzas, not called pizza but a square crispy crust with lots of topping choices. I like one that has speck and chilli.
Maybe even just a nice cool beer or wine.
Hope you find some nice clothes or maybe something in Louis Vuitton store? :-))
You guys did well on the shopping front yesterday. :)
I am sooooo looking fwd to our trip there :)
-
The MRT is the underground train service that links up the whole island JD and Singapore same time zone as Perth.
Maybe one day you will get there :)
-
Thanks Mama Fergie, it's nice to know these things.
-
Just finushed breaky in bed, what a treat, ds said great starter are we now going for the other breakfast.LOL he eats so much.
Yes mrt, is similar to the tube in London. Just as packed or more so.
I hate saurkraut too. Ds loves pizza, so will pribably share with him. Dinner tonight indochime or clarke quay.
MF how many nights are you here for, would have been good to meet up.
4 days, 3 nights not enough. Last year we had 8 nights which was great.
JD, the same as Perth time :)
H :)
-
Do Indochine at Clarke Quay as its lovely sitting out overlooking the river at night watching all the little bum boats going past.
We are there for 10 nights this time as 7 nights with the group and our youngest DD and husband coming up for 4 nights during Grand Prix.
We going first 3 nights on our own as the 7 nights with the group will be full on.
I think 7 or 8 is great.
We had 4 nights in April on way back from Vietnam and Cambodia.
We usually go up once a year for 7 or 8 nights.
Sometimes with DD and DIL and older GD's.
We enjoy our annual girlie trips usually to Singapore or KL.
We used to do Bali but its lost it's appeal.
Not as easy as it used to be as so many little ones now.
Sounds like CP has the right idea with his food!
-
Hally another waterfront Indochine restaurant called Indochine Empress Place.
Address 1 Empress Place. Looks gorgeous and large menu :)
-
What time is it over there Hally and mrt, what does that stand for - never been to Singapore so have no idea ;D
Metropolitan Rail Transport me thinks JD. I do not think I would go to a German Restaurant in Singapore unless I had explored ever meal at Newtons Circus.
Gert
-
I love Newtons Circus. The noise, smell and food make for a wonderful time. After we've eaten there we stagger back to our hotel. By the time we get there the food has settled a bit.
Hally there is a Max Brenners at Vivocity. Ground floor looking out towards Sentosa. Have a chocolate tasting plate.
If you want a lovely meal the Grand Hyatt in Scott's Road (round the corner from Tangs) have a lovely smorgasbord of Asian and Indian in the evening.
-
I love Newtons Circus as well. Another great Hawker place is Lau Pa Sat. Oh Singapore the food choices are endless :)
German pub lovely ambience and thought maybe Hally's DS would enjoy the pizza thing. My GC's all love different cuisines but sometimes they just want something plain at lunchtime. And DH likes to have a cold beer there if we are in that area.
Didn't know Max Brenners was in Vivocity Cookie. Yum!!!
-
Mama Fergie are you telling me they serve pizza in the German Pub? LOl!
;D ;D ;D
Gert
-
Ha ha ;D no it's not called pizza. :-)) I can't remember the name but it's square and has a crispy base with toppings on it. My GS aged 9 enjoyed it and I tried a speck and Chilli one which was tasty. Will google the name and let you know ;D
-
Called Fladen and made with a rye crust. I guess a German take on a pizza. They have an excellent menu but like you I don't want to eat German food in Singapore. Great beers and nice wine by the riverfront. :)
-
I think you have got me in with the rye crust , speck and chillia.
Might make that.
Gert
-
It was delicious as a snack between brunch and dinner. :) Like I say nice ambience by the riverfront and DH always enjoys a nice cold beer mid afternoon and it's the place to go after trawling the shops :)
-

That sounds delicious.

Hope you can come up with a thermie rye crust Gert then you can post new Fladen recipe ;D
-
Very yummy mcmich ;)

Seems it is just a flat bread, no yeast made with rye flour.
Gert
-
The Fladen does sound. yum.
-
Sounds good Gert. From memory the one I had had very thinly cut slices of tomato with the speck,finely chopped fresh chilli and onion, and i think some mozarella but again used sparingly. Only a small amount of tomato pizza sauce on the base which was crispy. :) very tasty

Marina Bay Dands fantastic view, we caught the 10am tour so could see the pool area etc. saw the floating chrystal Louis Vutton Shop from the sky park. Later went in it, saw a lovely wallet, but dh saw the price & that was the end of my dream :)
Our concierge recommended indochime on the water front, so dinner booked tonight :) just inlounge having a drink & some lovely complimentary nibbles.
Food the majr problem, too much choice, all fantastic.
Yes ds had pizza at vivicity, dh sorcraut & me just picked.
Loving it.
Food here soooo good,already alking about next trip.
Probably each club sentisa tomorrow.
Havent done nearly enough shopping, so mst try & squueze more in but its with the 2 boys.
H :)
-
Hally, buy the wallet. They last for ever.
-
Buy it Hally it's a one off purchase and as Cookie says it will last and last :)
-

Hally, after having a fake LV wallet for 6 years and absolutely loving the style, I bought the real thing from LV Sydney 3 weeks ago. Am so rapt! :D
-
So glad you are having a good time. How can you not in Singapore. I agree 4 days not long enough but better than not going. 7-10 perfect. Let me know how Indochine was as we will go if good. I presume the one on river at Empress.
Have a great day at Sentosa tomorrow. We on 9am flight to Melbourne 😄
-
Try Mustafa in Little India (Farrer Park MRT), you'll find items you never even dreamed existed! It's a pretty chaotic place though. I usually go very early in the morning (7 am on Sundays is a good option) to avoid the crowd. Good luck!
(It's open 24/7)
-
Working on dh with the wallet, might be next trip :) DH says if I stick to my food budget we will be back here in no time ;D ;D ;D
The wallet I liked is a spcial limited edition, so prob wont be arou d next time, but there will be another one for sure.
Drama at Vivocity, queuing for a cab, very busy, we then hear womens screeching, 2 women pulled out of a cab, screaming like banchees, first thought oh no having a fit, 2 nd thought omg they have a gun. 2 secuirty men have fhem on the ground, yelling dont move, all sorts being yelled really loudly, lots of wrestling going on. More security come, say run boys run, they run after the taxi the women had been in. The other security guards have the 2 women standing holding them by the scruff of their necks, lts more guards come surround them. Lots of drama, guards get women in alcove, bags searched, turns out they were shoplifting, police come & take them away. My heart was pounding, it was full on action, highlight of ds day!!!,LOL
Fantastic evening at indochine, food really good, yes MF at Empress Place, best to book for a good alfresco table, it was very busy. We rhen hopped on the river cruise to see the laser show from Marina Sands.
Sun is shining atm, looking forward to a relaxing day.
Lemongrass, thank you. What do they sell there? At that time n the morning, I can grab a cab & leave the boys in bed. Just googled it its abig shopping centre, thank you :)
MF have a great trip to Melb.
H :)
-
Poor ds Hally, obviously shopping is not his scene and a bit of excitement on the streets is more to his liking. Bet that gets a mention in class. :D Can't wait to see what you buy at Mustafa.
-
What a drama Hally but glad it was only shoplifters.
Glad you enjoyed Indochine Empress we will definitely go there and book in advance for alfresco.
I have been to Mustapha and it's a big store. Sunday not a good day as little India always packed with the Indian construction workers as its their day off and for some reason get their mail from home there on sundays ???B Possibly ok very early morning as suggested by Lemongrass. Honestly I wouldn't go alone but again maybe early morning would be ok.
Hope you having a great day at Sentosa. Where dinner tonight?
We arrived safely in Melbourne and in hotel now. DD and GD going to footy Freo & Geelong.
I have a nice NZ Sauvignon Blanc, my iPad, kindle and peace and quiet. Lol x
GD arriving tomorrow with her Head chef and another young chef who is mentoring her. She is very nervous but the experience will do her good. We are proud she got this far and not concerned about the outcome.
Home Thursday, Singapore Saturday :o
Maybe an LV wallet for you next time
-
Mama Fergie good luck for your GD. She did well to get this far.
Gert
-
Thanks Gert,
I agree and even if she comes last the experience will be great for her. She is a very shy girl and hates the spotlight.
Will keep you posted. :)
-
$25 dollars per day here per device to use wifi!!! :o We have 3 iPads and 2 iPhones. Only connecting my iPad as we will be out most of the time.
-
Have had a great day at Sentosa, just home 4.30pm, days fly buy here.
Dinner tonight, surprise, asked concierge to book something nice alfresco, will ring in a few mins.
Yes JD, i can see ds having news headlines at school, he will make it very entertaining, lol.
MF, which hotel are you in in Melb, we stayed at The Westin in Dec for new year, very pricey. I would be happy with peace too :)
Hope she does well.
H :)
-
We are in Crown Promenade near the casino. Direct access by covered walkway.
Stayed here in October for a wedding and liked the location.
Enjoying the peace and quiet as it is a rarity in my life with such a big family.
GD staying in Mercure with all other finalists. Just here to support her as her first time away without any of us.
I love surprises so hope dinner will be good. Let me know as we always like trying somewhere new.
What time your flight home 2moro? It's just flown by.
Enjoy your last night :D
-

That is outrageous. Do you not have 3G on your iPads or phones?
Gert
-
6pm flight, but a fantastic short break funded by my food budget. dh said if he hadnt seen our cc go down dramatically we would not be here.
Of course MF dont you have it on your ipad or phone?
:)
-
It is outrageous Gert a total rip off!!!
We all have 3G on phones but no sim on my ipad. I will use my iPad a lot so don't mind paying for 1 device. Need it for business.
DD will use 3G on her phone and can use my iPad if she wants. GD just plays games so no problem there.
They must make a fortune out of it!

If you have an iPhone you can tether your iPad to it.

Not sure but you can google it.
Gert

Ok thanks.
Will save me $100 ;D
More shopping or food and wine ;D
-
I don't have an iPhone but my daughter's partner tethered his iPad to,his Telstra iPhone which has unlimited data and uses both to run his Real Estate business . It may need an app. I as also told I could use my iPad sim card in an IPhone if I had one but not so sure about that.
In any case I paid only $150 for 12 months of 3G and 12 GB. I use it all the time and in 9 months I still have $100 credit!
Gretch
-
Just googled it and sounds promising. As I have signed for 24 hours of wifi I will try tethering tomorrow at 5pm here and wont pay for anymore wifi. Sounds relatively easy and hopefully will be successful.
I just find iPhone too small for lots of emailing and other business related stuff.
Thanks so much Gert. You have so much knowledge :)
MF :)

Hally I bought a limited edition LV wallet about 9 years ago. I had it checked when we were in Melbourne last year and they commented on how new it still looked. I thought I was quite hard on it! In this time I would probably have gone through at least 2 cheapies. I'm positive it will last at least another 10 years and because it is an LV I will be proud to use it when it's old. They are worth every cent.
There is a nice LV store in King St, but Singapore and Melbourne have a better range.
-
Lemongrass, thank you. What do they sell there? At that time n the morning, I can grab a cab & leave the boys in bed. Just googled it its abig shopping centre, thank you :)
They sell literally EVERYTHING. But in a messy, keep-looking-it's-in-here-somewhere kind of way. Mustafa was initialy a single shop but they they expanded on and on, and now the "center" takes up most of the street.
Items I've purchased over time (in no particular order): rice cooker (much cheaper than at Takashimaya), all sorts of cooking utensils and storage boxes, yoga mat, nail clippers (Samurai with built-in nail collector, who would have thought!) torchlights, various indian spices including cassia leaves I couldn't find in Delhi... If you know the Japanese chain Daiso, well think of a huge, overstocked and overstaffed messy Daiso. I realise I'm not being very encouraging, but it's worth a visit.
And yes, you can definitely go there while your family is sound asleep.

safe tripbackhomeH
-
Hally, I can't believe you are coming home tomorrow , the days have flown by here. Hope you've all enjoyed the break.
-
Cookie, I wonder if there's much of a price difference between Singapore and here. :)
-
Cookie, I wonder if there's much of a price difference between Singapore and here. :)
When I first went to Singapore in 1965 there definitely was a big difference in price and the quality of goods and they were much much cheaper. You were ushered into a store, sat down and brought tea or beer. Things were brought to you And you never walked out with anything. The goods were beautifully wrapped, all the paper work for customs was done for you then they delivered it all to your hotel .
I was last there in 2011 and found the prices on quality goods were higher than Australia but there are far more choices of goodies. They could not care less about you as a customer. No service, no charm and no beer.
You will find stuff in Singapore you will never find available in Australia which is the fun of shopping there. Now the quality varies and there are so many fakes and copies even in the best stores that you have to be pretty savvy to get a real bargain. A very savvy friend of ours came back from Singapore sporting a Breitling Bentley $9,000 watch he bought from a very high end store for only $6,000. When he went to his local store in Sydney to get it valued to add to his house insurance they found it had a Russian movement and was worth less than the box it came in. Even the well travelled smart shopper can be taken in . Shopping is very hard work but a lot of fun when there is an over abundance of "STUFF"! ;D
Gert
-
Ouch, waste a $6000.
Have fun Hally. :)
-
Ouch, waste a $6000.

More to the story. He travels frequently so took it back. No fuss. Money back plus another watch not a Breitling but real . Hush hush watch I would say.
Gert
-
Have a a safe trip home Hally hope you did some good shopping
-
We leave at 6pm tonight. Ds awake, dh asleep, was going to go to Mustafa but I just want to relax. Always next trip.... Still would love the LV wallett, I have a great Oroton one which is still in good condition so will leave it atm.
Was not impressed with the place last night, had entree & left. They wouldnt serve us tap water, only bottled water so we were pissed off, this was after serving us a very spicy hot entre. Ended up back at Orchard Rd.
I found this place out west Siat Hut, they have a great quote on a wok, but they are not open until monday, I wanted them to taxi it to the hotel, next time.... Its a catering suppliers.
Its really starting to heat up for the formula 1. Lots of people arriving in flash sports cars & the track being irganised. Boy it will be busy here then. I have noticed its busier than our ast time here.
:)
-
MF - you can tether off your iphone. Go into settings on your iphone select personal hotspot and turn on. Then go into settings on your ipad and select wifi connection, you should see your phone id on there. When connected your iphone will show connection at the top of the screen. Good luck!
-
Did u go there Hally? It's great and that's where the chefs get their equipment from. Is that the one I sent you that's in Temple street?
Good you have most of the day today. Pity bout your meal last night. Tell me the name so I can avoid it.
Will be very busy during Fornula one. I was there 3 years ago with my BF from Scotland and it was buzzing. We didn't go to the Grand Prix but was great just being there.
This it e we ha e 3 day passes to the race with grandstand seats.
My boys said I will hate the noise!!! Only planning on going once but DH may have other ideas!!!
What are your plans for today? More shopping?
-
MF Oh it might be, no didnt go there, closed today, they have not emailed me back. This one in Pandan Rd, way out.
Ok next trip will go to Temple Street, must go next time, no time to do anything.
Working on deal with dh atm, no LV wallet this trip, but may be back here for Easter,........ ;D ;D
Today we are having some family pool time, then hardrock cafe for ds, then it will be time to get to the airport. I think we have to be there 2 hrs before, flight 5.50pm. So no shopping, but as planning next trip thats OK, plus we leave for Hawaii in 4 weeks.
:)
-
Love these 'deals' you do with DH Hally, you always seem to get the best end of the stick :D :D :-* :-* :-*
-
Yes JD its called practice :) ;D ;D
H :)
-
My girls and I are well practiced in the same deals Hally!!! DIL's learning!!!! ;D

Was looking at maternity clothes yesterday for DD who arrives here Thursday but nothing really caught my eye.
Been loving the food had some Hawker Chinese, some nice Indian curries and tapas at Luke Mangans which is right outside of our hotel. ;D
Looking for a white clutch today as forgot to pack one and we have 2 dress up nights while here.
Have great view of F1 track from our room and balcony.
Tempted to sell our tickets on black market ;D LOL
-
Cookie found Max Brenners yesterday at Vivo city ;D
It's next door to the German pub !!!
Didn't go in as found it as we were about to leave.
Will go there when DD and husband come yum :)

-

You just pull your head in Robyn and think HMP
Gert
-
Don't know if this is true or not Suzanne.
Taxi driver yesterday told us that this will be the last F1 in Singapore as its not making any profit :o
-
Noooooo don't tell me that apart from going to the Monaco - Monte Carlo one which will never happen but it's a dream, the Singapore one is a must being raced at night in a beautiful city, oh I hope it's not true :'(
-
I will try to find out Suzanne it may just be tack drivers opinion :(
Will let you know if I hear more
-
Yes Gert, hopefully HMP soon....
will let you all know. ;D
-
I will try to find out Suzanne it may just be tack drivers opinion :(
Will let you know if I hear more
Thank you please do xx
-
Enjoy MF. I'm glad you found Max Brenners, now I know where the German pub is.
I love Ion in Orchard road, could spend all day there looking. I have to wait until next March. :'(
-
Yes found Max Brenners totally by accident and laughed when I realized it was next to the German pub.
Was in Ion today.so many designer shops. I could have spent longer but will go ack with DD over the weekend.
Love Sinapore and never tire off it.
Bet you can't wait till March ;D
-
And I cant wait until April.
H :)
-
Ha ha me too and I am still here!!!!
-
How was the sports carnival? :)
-
Our sight seeing in March will consist of a trip to Changi POW as we haven't been there yet and to the new Legoland just opened in Maylasia. We usually try to fit in a couple of 'looking' days as well as shopping.
-
That sounds good Chookie. We are the same and like doing something's other than shopping.
We went to Changi POW years ago and found it very interesting. Haven't been to Legoland so
will be interested to hear your thoughts on it.
This time for us just the usual but Grand Prix a first. Personally I am not a great fan and would
enjoy it more on tv but I will enjoy the experience.
-
I agree it's better to watch it on tv but the atmosphere is amazing, so many people and the noise and oh it's just great ;D ;D

Need info on this Legoland, sounds like a good trip for cp.
Sports Day good, cp came 2nd in his running race. :)
H :)
-
Legoland has just opened in Johor Malaysia. :)
Just read that a tour company here in Singapore is going to be running coaches on weekends to take tourists there departing at 8.30 am
$20 per person for the coach which does not include entry to Legoland.
Would be good day out for kids and adults :)
-
Great day out.
http://www.legoland.com.my/Plan/Prices-and-Tickets/
Thanks.
Wonder how much a taxi would be.
H :)
-
I have done the whole taxi thing into Johore. You take a taxi to a street in Singapore where you changeover into a Malaysian taxi .
Fares negotiable and possibly worthwhile for you Hally as only 3 of you.
The driver we had dropped us at various places then waited and brought us back to Singapore to same spot where we then changed to Singapore taxi back
When I came here with friend from Scotland she wanted to go into Malaysia.
I spoke to concierge and hotel car took us to Johor city and Malay cultural village. I asked driver to take us to a fishing village on stilts for lunch and he took us at no extra charge.
Maybe only certain drivers are licensed to take passengers into Malaysia.
-
that legoland link was good. looks a great place to take the kids.
-
Big kids too.
