Hotel Michael - Resort World Sentosa Singapore

Lau Pa Sat Singapore

While in Singapore, of course kids cannot miss the famous theme park, Universal Studio in Sentosa Island.  Therefore, for convinient, we stayed at Michael Hotel in Sentosa.  This hotel is part of Resort World Sentosa and only a stone's throw away from Universal Studio, casino, restaurants and other shops.  Great and super convenient location.   

This hotel is labelled as a five-star hotel.  But I think, their service, room and restaurant are as good as just a four-star hotel.  However, their location is a solid six-star standard.  With the service, they were less attentive and not so helpful, this may due to the high season period at that time.  While the room, although it was clean and spacious also the beds were pretty comfortable, but the pillows were smelly as well as the cupboards.  It was definitely a let down.  Despite, we still had a great time staying in this hotel.

Tonight, we went to the famous Lau Pa Sat.  This unique hawker center houses so many authentic Singaporian cuisines.  This place is also known as Telok Ayer Market, historical buildings can be found here, right in the central area of Singapore along with delicious local to international food.  Also, after 7pm everyday, this Boon Tat street at Lau Pa Sat closes and it turns into a huge dining area.  By the way, the dish you must try in here is, of course, satay.  They are quite a few stalls selling satay.  Some were busier than the other.  I walked past this Satay 8 and the queue was so long.  It must be yummy, I guess.  But we came with small children and it was pretty inconvinient to wait.  That's why we bought from the one less busy yet looks equally good too, the one right at the end of the road.  With that, we actually still waited about 30 minutes until our satay has arrived.

One stick of satay roughly costs SGD 0.80.  We ordered chicken, tribe and mutton satay with some lontong (or steamed rice cake) S$1/each.  All together was S$26.  So, the price is pretty decent though.  Taste-wise, it was good, the meat was tender and I like the smokey and charred-smell from those satay.  But their sauce was just ordinary.  Above all, I really like their mutton satay, not gamey at all. 

Angku kueh

Lapis legit S$7.80

We got these two of my favorite snacks, angku kueh and lapis legit from Bengawan Solo shop at the airport.

We've been to Singapore a few times already.  So, this trip we're aiming to visit places we haven't been in particular.  Tonight we set off for Bugis street and Arab street.  We had dinner in Albert hawker center just right opposite Bugis shopping mall.  This food court is so huge.  Although a lot of stores are closed at that time but we still spoilt by choice with those who open.  I laid on Indonesian food as I missed this cuisine so badly.  It brings back my childhood memory and honestly I couldn't find any decent Indonesian food in Thailand.  

Ayam rendang set

I got myself a set of ayam rendang with rice for S$4.80 and vegetable on the side forS $1 extra.  Very cheap yet the portion is very huge.  The dish tastes absolutely delicious.  The chicken meat was so tender and flavorsome.  However, the sambal is slightly on the mild side, which is not up to my standard. 

Ayam merah set

First time in Bugis and I am amazed by how bustling and bright this place is.  You can get fresh fruits, little snacks to cloths and souvenirs all in one place.  They literally have everything.  Unfortunately, we were pretty full with our dinner, so we didn't try any snacks or drinks from here.

This shop looks very interesting

Arab street

We got some baklava and Turkish coffee for our dessert.  6 tiny pieces of baklava cost us S$12.  I think, they are too pricey.  For the taste itself, it was pretty ordinary.

With the swimming pool, each person needs to carry a card to access, even with kids as well.  The famous infinity pool is located on the top foor which is level 57.  The pool is the world's longest and awe-inspiring infinity pool.  The city view from up here is totaly an eye-catching.  It is definitely once-in-a-lifetime experience.  Regardless time of the day, this pool is always crowded with people.  However, for my opinion, we all up here mostly enjoying a stunning view rather than actual swimming. 

No matter where the pool is, my kid can always make herself happy.  They both love water.  And while you were up here, it is completely fine to take some narcissist pictures of yourself.  

The hotel gave away some ice cream, just before we about to leave the pool.  Wow!! we were in the right time and on the right place.

The good thing staying in this hotel, you also get a shortcut to Garden By The Bay.  There is a lift just outside the building (near escalator to go to Bayfront MRT), then go to level 6th and make sure to turn left when you go out from the lift.  Keep going straight passing two glass doors and there you are Super Tree right in front of you.  

On that morning we had a limited time, only two hours to spend in this garden as we already booked a hotel transfer.  I know it sounds ridiculous, people need at least a good full day to cover this place.  We didn't get to see much of them.  But I promise, next time I go to Singapore again, I will spend more time here.
