In my November 2015 post, The Build Up of Anticipation, I made a big reveal about a photo contest that I participated in. If we're friends in Facebook, you already know what I'm talking about.Ü Over 2 months ago, I submitted an entry to Singapore Invites. This, by the way, is the first photo contest that I ever joined. If you're one of the lovelies that I asked to help me out with the blue heart, thank you — bloggers unite! Well guess what? Someone's getting ready to do her happy dance again. I got super lucky!
Participants were from different parts of the world and each one shared a photo plus a caption that best capture and describe the Singapore experience with a reunion that they would want to share with family, loved ones, or friends. Words aren't enough to describe how excited I am. I have been to Singapore, but there many things about this country that I have to yet to discover. I am beyond thrilled that I won and I am counting the days until my friends and I fly out for our SG gastro-adventures.
My friends have not stopped thinking about where we think they'd take us. Would it be dining with a view from one of SG's skyscrapers? Or would it be something with a bit of Singapore's night scene? I can go on all day with my my would it be's. I know. I know. I'm stopping right now.Ü The last time I was in Singapore was in 2014 with friends from Brunei and Malaysia. They were gamers who met with SG gamers. Cool, huh? We stayed in the bustling and busy but very Russ-friendly district of Orchard. I liked that this area was accessible, was close to a lot of malls with tons of nice dining options. The guys also took me to my first-ever hawker experience — I forgot where it was but it wasn't in Orchard.
One of the highlights of this trip for me was catching up with some of my high school friends who are now based in the Lion City. It was such a delight to hang with them. We have not gone out in ages so it was super fun spending an evening of awesome food and experiencing a bit of the city life in Singapore. They took me to Clarke Quay to try the Craft Beer at Brewerkz, which a pilot friend of ours frequent each time he flies to Singapore. Then, another friend of mine was such an angel and was kind enough to grant my request to see Bugis. I was curious of what I'd see here because of a mini foodie place that I used to go to in PH. It was called Bugis Singaporean Street Food and each time I'd check-in on Foursquare, people always told me to have a blast in SG. Lol.
I am a little skittish but I know that we will be in good hands.Ü If you are curious about my entry, it's still here . I have 15 minutes left for lunch which means that I need to head out now to grab something to munch. Stay tuned for stories of our adventures and lots of Singapore food photos in the next couple of weeks. This is going to be a different ( in various levels of beautiful ) travel experience for me. Singapore, I'm excited to see you soon!
