Sorry for the late reply...
Hello DRMW...How are you...
so sorry for the late reply...I didn't know I got a reply till today, and that is when I check the posts that I have made earlier.
Actually I been to S'pore for many times, since it is so close from Jakarta...but just got the opportunity to take pics nearby the river last time... 
Sorry for the terrible pic...since I'm only using a normal pocket cam
Warm Regards,

Christmas decorations – Singapore
The Orchard Road Christmas decorations have been a feature of the Christmas shopping experience for years and they are more lavish and extensive every year. Difficult to capture all the colour, noise and buzz of the Road, not to mention the humidity, but ...
Thanks for the post AndrewD!
Thanks for sharing the post AndrewD! Especially the picture of double decker #7, I used to ride that route every weekend from Holland Village to Orchard road, when I was in secondary school. Now I miss Orchard Road... Missing Singapore, ATM
Another Singapore landmark …
Singapore is a great place to visit. Do you get back often? While shopping and eating usually seems to be the focus, this is even more so at Christmas time. Here’s another Singapore landmark to take you back … St. Andrew’s Anglican Cathedral. Andrew...
re: Singapore Landmarks
Great pics Andrew! I've never been to Singapore so thanks so much for sharing these pics. How was the food there? This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-12-08 15:14:31
The food is brilliant …
The food is brilliant and one of the pleasures of visiting. From hawker food to shopping centre food halls to more upmarket ‘international’ restaurants there is something delicious to be found for all tastes and occasions. When I sort my pictu...
Thanks!
Hi Andrew, Unfortunately, I haven't been back to Singapore for a few years, thus I planned on visiting next year . I can't wait to see all the new malls & head out to Newton Circus for hawker center style food. PS: Look forward to your food post -- ho...
ION Orchard …
This new shopping complex looks great and is a very vibrant part of Orchard Road. The architects (Benoy) apparently used nature to inspire their design and you can appreciate the organic qualities of the ‘trees’ used to support the complex. Very photogeni...
RE: ION Orchard and Singapore
Nice pics AndrewD. It's been a few years since my last trip to Singapore. Some new places along with recognizable landmarks. Gotta make a trip back soon. And waiting to read about your food adventures. Happy holidays, ED-209
I did find a few minutes ...
... while my wife was shoe shopping! Seems like a fair exchange? It's a great space and THG are to be congratulated. Nice selection of watches. Was impressed (again) with Vianney's Trio. Andrew
12 years since I toured.
I really need to go back and see all these great additions first hand. Thanks for sharing. JerryW
A lot of new development ...
... and you would find it interesting to compare with the Singapore you remember....
That looks superb
haven't been there for so long. When I see these pics I realize it's time to get back there soon. GEO
Grazing – Singapore
As I mentioned, Singapore has a wide range interesting places to eat. While we have done some of the ‘classic’ dishes, such as chilli crab, on previous visits, this time we wanted to sample some of the finer European influenced establishments to gauge how...
Iggy’s at the Regent
Iggy’s has been at the Regent since 2004 and is an intimate space designed to showcase the food. We sat at the long bar where we had glimpses into the kitchen. The service was excellent and engaging – so many high-end establishments can be a little too me...
RE: Iggy's at the Regent
Food looks amazing. I'll have to add these to my list of restaurants to visit on my next trip to Singapore. Thanks for sharing. Regards, ED-209
Au Jardin in the Botanic Gardens
Lunch at Au Jardin was in a beautiful setting amongst the tranquil tropical gardens. An oasis amongst the humid greenery. A pleasant lunch, but nothing very inventive. I will let the images speak for themselves....
Gunther’s
Gunther’s is a French-influenced restaurant in the Garibaldi stable, named after the head chef Gunther Hubrechsen. Located around the corner from Raffles it was a pleasant experience with attentive staff. Fun to see the ‘raw’ (read “still kicking”) ingred...
Yum!
Fresh live seafood, marbled beef, and a selection of cheeses....what a meal! Which was the best dish? -MW
Bruch perhaps ...
Actually the sashimi scallop was nicely done as was the egg with jamon and mushroom (I love breakfasts, although this was obviosuly dinner). Andrew
Gosh...I'm ashamed
of myself... I'm Singaporean and have not been to 3/4 of the food places you have been to.... but truth be told, I'm very much an eat to live person... Glad you have a good time here.
Christmas Raffle …
A visit to Singapore would not be complete without a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel. Iconic +++...
Singapore Sling....
Hello Andrew! Fantastic series of photos from your adventure in Singapore. How was the "Singapore Sling"? -MW
Sling ...
Well there are so many recipes for Singapore Sling, and even the original version, created by Ngiam Tong Boon a century ago, is lost. I would hope that Raffles gets it ‘right’ more than others, seeing as they invented it. It is certainly a tan...
thanks for sharing your photos Andrew...
hope you the weather wasn't too bad while you were here and that u and the mrs had a good time cheers raph
Fun pictures of the festivities in Singapore!
The pictures remind me a bit of Christmas decorations in Beverly Hills. I love seeing how folks all over the world celebrate the holidays. Thanks for sharing, Andrew! Cheers, Daos
