After getting ready with a cheeky vodka and tonic we got a taxi to Lau Pa Sat, a hawker centre or street food market. They close the road and put out plastic tables where the people working politely claim you when they seat you! Various different stall sellers being you their menus and we chose a variety of satay prawn and chicken, a spicy chicken noodle and sweet and sour fish from 3 different places. All the food was amazing, the prawns were huge!! There are also tiger girls walking round selling jugs of beer, I quite liked then outfits and fancied being a tiger girl!! (Although would customise it to be made in cotton not polyester!!)
After filling our tummies we jumped in another taxi to the famous Raffles hotel to have a Singapore Sling in the long bar. To be honest is was a little sweet for me but couldn't not have one, or try to eat my weight in monkey nuts, traditionally throwing the shells on the floor! We then hopped over the road to the New Asia Bar on top of the Swiss Bank building. I googled that it is 226m high and on the 71st floor!! The views were impressive and we made the most of the 'free' drink with the $30 entrance fee by ordering 2 glasses of champagne...this may have given us a taste for it as had another 2 bottles in the evening, one kindly bought by a young professional Bajan guy!! It is the same price to drink it here as wine so why not?!
We had a bit of a dance, met some interesting people and experienced the Singapore nightlife. The club turned into a bit of a meat market towards the end with the young European men seeming to have a bit of an arrogant attitude but still a cracking night as we got in at 4.30am!!
