Celebrating Xmas with Friend Trip - Singapore (Day 2, 23 Dec - 26 Dec 2011)

Day 2 - Singapore

It was Christmas eve! And my friend has planned to bring me to walk around the Singapore city! We walked a lot in various shopping malls. All the shopping malls were beautifully designed with the Xmas theme stuff.

In the afternoon and evening, the shopping malls we had visited or passed by were: Esplanade Mall, Marina Bay Sands, Marina Square, Suntec City Mall, Raffles City, ION Orchard, Far East Plaza, Tangs Orchard, Paragon, Mandarin / Gallery and 313@Somerset.

At night, we had dinner appointment with my colleague and his pilot friend and wife at Marché Restaurant, 313@Somerset shopping mall. First time eating at Marché Restaurant, I like the concept of how you choose and order your food there. In addition, the environment there is relaxing and cosy to enjoy your food! Love the German pork knuckle there, so yummy and crispy! ^^
