Singapore Fusion Restaurants
I arrived into Singapore and exchanged my Malaysian Ringgits into Singapore dollars. Then I found the subway and was off to my short adventure, or so I thought. I arrived at one station and noticed people getting off, and then noticed that the train started back the way we came. So, I got off at the next stop, which, fortunately wasn’t far from where I was supposed to get off in the first place. Ahhh…the trials and tribulations of being a foreign traveler.
My stop landed me at the historic district where I took a walking tour of an old firehouse and a church. There was a park next to the church, so I headed into the park, which was very beautiful and well maintained. There was a fortress wall with cannons sticking out of it and all the trees and plants were absolutely stunning with the city sticking straight up in the background. This made me hungry, so I pulled out my Blackberry to see what might be a good Singapore restaurant . I found one that seemed very interesting, called Eleven on Bussorah located in the Arab quarter. I found the Arab quarter and wandered for a bit, doing some window shopping and taking a gander inside a mosque. There were worshippers practicing inside, so I decided to head on down to the restaurant and get some lunch. The restaurant was not bad, it had an international menu, fusion is more like it. I ordered the special of the day, which was a lentil soup served with lamb chops. The meal was perfect and the price was even better, with tip $20.00.
After lunch, I wanted to head for the Raffles hotel to try one of the famous Singapore Slings . I found the bar, which was very long and ordered the drink. It was nice and tasty. I also snacked on some peanuts, which I could throw the peanut shells on the floor! Shocking for such a classy place, but that was the custom, so…toss the peanut shells I did.
