Day 2 is the only thing that is truly planned in our itinerary. I have been wanting to watch Mamma Mia in Manila, but unfortunately did not have a free day to watch it. Good luck, however was at our side (Birthday Luck working) as we managed to get tickets of the show on its last day of showing in Singapore! Yes we get to see Mamma Mia at Marina Bay :P
We got at Marina Bay for early lunch at The Bird Southern Table and Bar, which came with the show and dine package we bought.
The restaurant was homey and with a couple of Filipino crew who looked real delighted to serve us.
After lunch we got to tour Marina Bay Sands a bit. The place is grand and expectedly expensive. All the big brands are there!
We watched the 1pm show since we wanted to still have time to check out the Art Science Museum and Sky Park.
After the show we (which was outstanding) we went to the Art Science Museum. We did not enjoy it much, but I guess kids would appreciate it better.

After Marina Bay we went to Clark Quay via the MRT (through Bay Front Station to Fort Canning Station, which is just about 3 minutes walk to Clark Quay).
It was a little early for dinner so we decided to hop on the Singapore River Cruise. Touring the Singapore River via a bumboat was an enjoyable experience.
Seeing Singapore on a different vantage point on a more relaxed setting was nice and pleasant. We were back at the Clark Quay loading deck some 40 minutes after, with our tummies ready for dinner :P
Dinner was at the Muchos Mexican Bar and Restaurant next to Hooters. We had a Muchos Platter, Grilled Chicken Quesadillas and Taco Salad, plus a round of chilled beer to each to match.
It was almost 9 when we finished eating, but the night was still young so we've decided to pay famous 24 hours Mustafa Shopping Center ~ this where to go for "pasalubong shopping". We took a cab to Mustafa Center.
We got at Marina Bay for early lunch at The Bird Southern Table and Bar, which came with the show and dine package we bought.
Food was unsurprisingly delicious and filing.
We had Deviled Egg and Bacon and Theatre Set Special (Two pieces of Lewellyn’s Fried Chicken, Chilled Spiced Watermelon and a fresh Buttermilk Biscuit)
The restaurant was homey and with a couple of Filipino crew who looked real delighted to serve us.
After lunch we got to tour Marina Bay Sands a bit. The place is grand and expectedly expensive. All the big brands are there!
Our last stop at the Marina Bay area is the SkyPark. We went there at 4pm, early enough to beat the queue of tourists fighting over a sunset view.
We sat on the deck with ice cream onhand to end our visit to Marina Bay.
Love the ice cream ~ perfect with the view that comes with it!

With my handsome date :P
The restaurant outdoor seating is a perfect date place to cap a night out in Singapore. Serving is hefty and if you are not really hungry an order of the Combo set is enough for 2-3 persons. Food is great too, though mostly spicy.
It was almost 9 when we finished eating, but the night was still young so we've decided to pay famous 24 hours Mustafa Shopping Center ~ this where to go for "pasalubong shopping". We took a cab to Mustafa Center.
It gives me a peace of mind that they only sell genuine stuffs here, so you are sure not getting fakes. After my introduction to Mustafa, I don't think I will be shopping anywhere else in Singapore but here.
Our best buys include:
- Souvenirs
- Chocolates (my boys especially liked the chocolate coated almonds)
- Perfume (keep in mind that you cannot hand carry anymore than a 100ml perfume bottle)
- Branded Shirts
- Electronics ~ Headphones
It was almost 11:30 when we finished, my feet were sore from all the walking we did today, so we hopped on to a cab to our hotel.
Oh our POOR feet :P
Oh our POOR feet :P
Follow our Day 3 in Singapore ~ Botanical Garden, Taste of Hawker Food (up next)...
Wow, super busy ng Day 2 niyo, parang pati ako napagod. :) Thanks for the tip about Sands Rewards Lifestyle Cards, I'll take note of that.
ReplyDeleteIt was a full packed day 2, but it was okay as it was just me my husband... no kids tagging along.
DeleteSo much to love in Singapore. Your travel was extra special because of Mamma Mia. :)
ReplyDeleteWe were glad we got to see Mamma Mia in Singapore. It was really good too.
DeleteMamma Mia! It has been months since I've been to the theater. I love Marina Bay Sands, kahit mag-window shop lang okay na :) The top view photos are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteNaku, will not dare do actual shopping at Marina Bay Sands. It is way out of my budget :P
