On earlier
post, I have shared that I am currently residing in Singapore. It has been a long time for me to stroll in the city due to the working schedule. Usually I become a "sloth" at home during the weekend, simply due to the busy activities during the weekdays.
This morning I was browsing Facebook and found out that there is an ongoing Mid Autumn Festival event at the Gardens by the Bay which caught my interest. This event has just started yesterday and will end at Sunday, 8 October 2017.
So I decided that I will become a tourist then visit the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) area since the Gardens by the Bay are located directly behind the MBS.

I took a train from my nearest MRT stations (Circle Line) and stopped at CC4 - Promenade since I want to take some MBS pictures at sunset and night time.
If you want to go directly to the Gardens by the Bay, you can simply take the Downtown Line or Circle Line then stop at DT16/CE1 - Bayfront.

After I took the photos, then I proceed to the Gardens by the Bay. It's as what I expected, it was super packed by the tourist even though it was 7:30 PM!
They decorated the pedestrian street beside the Dragonfly Lake with the handcrafted hanging ornaments.

There were a lot of lantern sets which were very colourful! I couldn't get a really clear shots due to too many people taking a pictures from the side of the lake.
Be careful when taking the shots, make sure that you will not fell to the lake. :)

At first, I thought that the lantern sets only available on the middle of the lake, but I was wrong. There are also other lantern on other places. You will need to be very patient if you want to take a clear shots as you need to wait for other people and it's not simple since there's too many people, so just be patient and take the shots when you have the chance!

The most interesting lantern set that I found was the Lantern Tunnel, basically it's a tunnel that is decorated with a colourful LEDs. It was very bright and colourful!

Apart from the lantern sets, there were also a small stage which have several performers where they are going to sing, do a traditional dance, etc.
There were also several tents where you can play some games such as balloon popping by darts or buy some merchandise such as balloons, mooncakes, lanterns, etc.
After I
finished the visit, I went to MBS to have a dinner. This time I decided to try the Celebrity Chef restaurant, Gordon Ramsay. I believe you have heard his name before, He has several TV-Series related with cooking / restaurants such as Hell's Kitchen, MasterChef US & UK, Kitchen Nightmares, etc. He is also famous with his ferocious temper where he usually scold his trainee/chef in his show.
He has one restaurant called "Bread Street Kitchen" which located in MBS, Singapore.
When I arrived, there were quite number of peoples queuing, usually you will need to wait at least 20-30 mins. If you don't want to wait it is suggested to make an online reservation at the
MBS Website.

The price was normal considering that this is a celebrity chef restaurant, it's not too expensive hence still affordable if you eat once in a while or when you want to try Gordon Ramsay's cooking.

I was given some bread, cheese sticks and butter after I sat down. The bread was normal, the cheese stick was nice, way better than you usually find in the supermarket.
I settled my order with the Fish and Chips (S$29) as I don't want to eat too much on dinner.
The taste was up to my expectation, fish was fresh, fries was handmade (not the one we find in supermarket), the tar-tar sauce was not too sour nor salty.
I notice that some of the condiments is imported from UK, such as the Tomato Sauce (the one in the small jar), the vinegar, etc.

Lastly, they gave you a cookies as the "dessert". The cookies was crispy, not too sweet like Famous Amos, so it was great!
See you on the next post!
Ps: I took all the photos using my Samsung S8 with a little bit editing using Snapseed.
