En route to Marina Bay Sands, we found out that Helix Bridge was closed because of a celebration that day. So we took a detour to the nearest taxi stand and we found ourselves savoring the atmosphere and feasting our eyes on gustatory delights of Makansutra Gluttons Bay.

2 days before we left to Singapore, we were just watching at Discovery Channel about the Marina Bay Sands. 2 days later, we are gazing at it in Singapore.

On our first night in Singapore, we immediately had a semi-reunion with college friends at East Coast Park food village, a hawker place. It’s Friday night and there are a lot of diners in this open area hawker place. Our friends ordered food, chili crabs, satay, stingray and cockles!
Cockles
We’ll be leaving tomorrow to see the lush greens and smell the fresh air of Garden City that is Singapore.

Universal Studios Singapore (Resorts World Sentosa, Sentosa Island, Singapore) – Universal Studios Singapore finally opened its doors to the public, news reported that tickets were sold out fast after it went on sale on Wednesday. The clamor for Universal Studios Singapore tickets will not be expected to die down as people are willing to wait for hours and days just to get in. However, the management advised them to email Universal Studios Singapore reservations department instead.

Last week, Nuffnang conducted a contest entitled Uniquely Singapore sponsored by Pringles wherein bloggers have to write about their planned 1-day itinerary if given the chance to fly to Singapore. Unfortunately, my entry didn’t win because I know there are a lot of more deserving entries. I just gave it a shot, so there. I checked out various websites suggesting different Singapore itineraries and a must-do lists for tourists. While I was browsing for tourist attractions in Singapore, I sighted the Are You Being Served? website that primarily focuses on customer service in Singapore. The website is backed up by a Service Squad team who are out on a mission to share their good and bad customer services on different establishments in Singapore. Consumers can also take part by sending their personal experiences from a restaurant, boutique, bank, etc…
So if you’re a Singapore resident and had a remarkable customer service experience, good or bad, share it to let the others know. It will also help if you take note of the name of the staff members of the establishment so that he/she will be given proper recognition for a job well done or proper customer training in case he/she needs one. Tourists can participate and send their experiences too. I should share this website to Filipino Nuffnangers headed to Singapore next week.
