Went out with Zen and Tsian last week to Marina Bay Sands... our 1st time there... took 106 from dhoby ghaut mrt.... to its doorstep....
When we reached there, we realised MBS hasnt really fully opened its door yet.... the whole ambience was pretty dark.... i dunno if they are doing energy saving or wad so ever...
Anyway, the boat ride... modelled after other countries' "Venice city boat ride" was seriously a scam.. its like a 5 minute walk to clear the entire waterway.... and i really pity those who take the $5 boat ride... seriously i think in 3 minutes you can complete the ride... and there werent many boats paddling around the waterway... and everybody just looked at you from the cafe seats and also tourists taking pictures of the boat and you... and you really look stupid lor....
The night scenery outside MBS wasnt as spectacular and as scenic as the one I saw while I was walking the Avenue Of Stars in Hong Kong... Singapore's across the bay version wasnt as good.... it wasnt as brightly lighted as those in Hong Kong.... so you cant expect nice and beautiful pitures... The weather was pretty cold that day and it was quite nice having the river breeze.... smell of nature =)
Worst of all in MBS was that apart from a cafe and a food court that looks really run-down like a coffee shop that sells char siew rice at $5 and economical rice at $8, there wasnt any restaurant spotted in the MBS shopping arena... and while we were taking pics at the bayfront.... there was this vietnamese tourist that came and ask us if there was any food available around the area.. and then we told him gluttons bay and pointed at the direction... and we was like -_-" wtf.. so far away...
I guess we really gotta wait one more year before we really go to MBS... apart from the bus services, hotels, convention centre and the casino, i feel much of it isnt really operational yet.
We decided to walk down to Marina Square to have our favourite "Imperial Treasure" la mian xiao long bao.. we ordered 1 tray of xiao long bao per person..hehe.... as usual, we like it much more after our meal =)
