Lunch at Imperial Treasure Marina Bay Sands

Had lunch with my three sisters at Imperial Treasure Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands. Was first visit for me to the restaurant, ambience was great.

The side dish of walnut was tasty, expected it to be very hard but was easy to bite and chew.

Carrot cake with XO sauce

Assorted dim sum

Century egg porridge $10 per bowl

We could view the casino on Level 2 on our way to the restaurant and no we did not gamble. For locals and Permanent Residents of Singapore, we need to pay entry levy fee of $100 per day or $2000 annual levy. Free entry for foreigners. I dont like to gamble, even when I was in Macau, I spend more time sightseeing. Dont like to play the one arm bandit slot machine anymore, prefer the old machine where we could pull the handle, and listen to the falling of coins in the winning slot but nowadays they used card with credits and pressing the buttons to play.

Lunch at Curry Times Changi Airport Terminal 3

Lunch with siblings and our spouses at Curry Times, Changi Airport Terminal 3. Changi Airport Terminal 3 is like a huge shopping mall with lots of restaurants and shops, dont have to travel to other countries to be at the airport hahaha. We love to dine in Changi Airport, so spoilt with lots of choices of food.

The food at Curry Times was so good and suitable to all our taste buds.

They even have a corner selling their signature curry puffs.

Curry Chicken cooked without coconut milk for healthy choice.

Curry fish head with vegetables

Cold Tofu with century egg

Otah

Ngo Hiang

Ladies Finger/Okra with sambal chillies

Long Beans with sambal

Brinjal

Fish Ball and Meat Ball Soup

Chendol

Did not take photos of the rest of the drinks

As the name suggest Curry Times, so most of the dishes are spicy but the spicyness is moderate for us.

Lunch along Singapore River

Hubby and me had lunch at one of the restaurant along Boat Quay/Singapore River. We ordered the set menu for two at only $9.80 ++, very worth. If we will to order al carte we could not order too many dishes cause the al carte dishes were only in one size and look too much for us.

Soup of the day is some kind of salted vegetables with duck, tasted very good.

Mango salad

Three different types of spring rolls

Two baskets of assorted dim sums.

Sambal Kangkong

Braised tofu

Dessert of the day

We ordered additional a plate of deep fried baby squid at only $6.

Love the great view as we dined there and enjoyed the cool breeze as it was a very cloudy day.

There were many such restaurants along Boat Quay/Singapore River but please be cautious when ordering food especially seafood. Crabs, lobsters were priced according to market price and double check the price before ordering the seafood. It can costs few hundred dollars for such dishes cause they served very expensive crabs/lobsters,etc.

The chilli crabs served in most places around Singapore are Sri Lankan Crabs and much cheaper. Of course if you dine in fine restaurants, you need to pay for the ambience. It is much cheaper to eat chilli crabs at zhi char(cooked/fry) stalls at hawker centre/coffee shops around Singapore. If there's queue it must be good, if the stalls are quiet means not worth visiting lol.

But some restaurants do serve good chilli crabs at reasonable prices.

Tea Break at The Providore Mandarin Gallery

We had to rest after much shopping along Orchard Road, came across this lovely looking cafe, The Providore at Mandarin Gallery.

Had cappuccino to kill all the sleepiness and tiredness hahaha. Lovely to see heart shaped art on the coffee.

Spotted Pat and Stick's ice cream sandwich, we just need to order them and try it. It's actually ice cream sandwiched between some cookies.

Double Choc
