Rojak Corner V1: Singapore Trip, Day 1

Here comes the delayed update of my recent trip to Singapore on last week. Sorry for the delay!

Arrived at Low Cost Carriers Terminal (LCCT) around 0900.

Self-checked in at kiosk for boarding pass and then procced to counter for luggage check in.

My Boarding Pass :)

Flight AK705 took off on time and we all arrived at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 after 50 minutes which is 10 minutes ahead of scheduled time.

First thing to do after immigration clearance at airport.

After collecting my luggage, I then proceed to Terminal 2 for the train service connecting to Singapore Town Area, which they called it SMRT. The train fare is reasonably priced despite sometimes it makes you wonder why is it more expensive to travel in a shorter distance than a longer distance. But overall, this is not a major problem that would makes us worry about.

Finally arrived at my accomodation, The Hive Backpackers' Hostel after 40 minutes travelling on train and 550m of walking distance from train station to hostel.

My backpackers' hostel in very unique outlook.

Twin room with double bed.

Accomodation at The Hive comes with free wiresless internet, free self-service breakfast, the best thing is, room is equipped with air-conditioner. We booked for a twin room with double bed prior to our arrival with rates of $S50 per room per night. I reckon this is quite a bargain actually, and of course not to compare with per bed per night in dorm room :)

After settle down with our luggages, we then did some research on "how to get to marina bay resorts" by public transport as we didn't managed to get a map from airport before but luckily the cleaner at The Hive is helpful enough to pass us two copies of Singapore Map after searching the drawer at reception counter.

First of all, we have to get something to fill up our stomach before our journey to Marina Bay Resorts, and been having an urge to try their beancurd at Rochor's, we then headed to Novena MRT station and followed by some walks before we managed to locate their store.

Here it is, Rochor's Beancurd !

Rochor Beancurd House

We ordered quite a lot of things there but at the end, we still managed to stuff them all inside our stomach, sorry for the word "stuff" but we were really full at that time, and have to force ourselves to eat those remaining food!

You might be wondering what'd we had for lunch and high tea for that day, and so here it is

Tau Huey from Rochor's ! Smooth, very very smooth !

Portugese Eggtart are sold here !

Other food that we ordered ...

While on our way back to MRT Station, we then spotted Phua Chu Kang on the pedestrians' path !

Ohh, that signature yellow boots.

Hopped off at Marina Bay station and then proceed to Marina Bay Resorts by foot, unfortunately it was raining right after we arrived at station entrance. With not much choice left, we decided to share an umbrella and walked a long journey to Marina Bay Resorts.
