The contrast between day and night at the Boat Quay is striking, yet both are equally captivating. During the day, there are plenty of places to explore, from the mural tunnel between Boat Quay and Clarke Quay to the luxurious Fullerton Hotel and the historic Asian Civilisations Museum. At night, the area comes alive with lights, and the food at various restaurants, including seafood, Thai, Indian, Japanese, and even Irish pubs, is truly amazing. Be sure to walk to the other side where the Asian Civilisations Museum is located to enjoy the stunning views of the illuminated buildings. The downtown area is within easy walking distance, filled with shops, bars, and restaurants. The statue of Sir Stamford Raffles is also located there.

#Overseas travel I'll introduce you to a place in Singapore where you can see the night view at a glance!! It's Boat Quay, also known as Boat Quay. 🤗 There are many restaurants along the river around here, so you can enjoy the night view while eating!! I recommend coming to Boat Quay in the evening rather than during the day. ㅎㅎ You can eat while looking at Marina Bay Sands. 💙 ☑️Location: Singapore Boat Quay ☑️Information: - It's about a 10-minute walk from Clarke Quay! - There are many restaurants along the river around here🍴 - The night view is beautiful, so it's a must at night rather than during the day!! - You can enjoy romance in a quieter atmosphere than Clarke Quay. ㅎㅎ If you go to Singapore, Clarke Quay is great, but I highly recommend visiting Boat Quay next to it👍🏻

Address: LUMO Bar & Restaurant, 50 South Bridge Rd, #01-00, Singapore 058682 Price: $100/pp My date took me here for my birthday. It's a speakeasy type bar restaurant serving signature cocktails, wines and modern european fare from the wood fire. He told me that this place usually get fully booked fast. The interior and ambiance is pretty good - very dim and jazz club vibe. We ordered: 1. Smoked cod fish liver taramasalata, avruga caviar, crumb, ciabatta and EVOO - 10/10 One of my favorite dish of the night. If my date didn't told me it was liver I wouldn't have known. I highly recommend this dish. 2. Hokkaido scallops, avruga caviar, celtuce root, carrot and truffle puree - 10/10 The scallops was cooked perfectly and the size was huge. I recommend this dish for anyone with a smaller appetite so you can enjoy a 3 course meal. 3. White fin prawn, trofie pasta, salted kelp, lobster bisque - 8/10 The portion was very generous but the flavour of the pasta was rather flat. you can't quite taste the lobster, but the pasta was cooked to perfection. Overall a rather heavy dish. 4. Aus. angus braised beef cheek, hen of the woods mushroom, celeriac puree, red wine jus - 2/10 This dish ruined the dinner. It was tasteless. Skip this dish and eat their seafood instead. The only thing great about the dish was the mushroom. 5. SUNFLOWER - 10/10 A sour pineapple cocktail for someone who sour food and drinks. The cocktails taste good but weak in terms of alcohol - which is okay to me if you're not an alcoholic. 6. COMPASSION - 6/10 Not a fan as it was on the sweeter side of things. 7. Choconuts, 64% dark chocolate cookies, peanut praline, earl grey gelato, Icelandic - 8/10 not a chocolate fan in general but they gave me this slice for free as it was my birthday. The chocolate cake was rich and not too sweet. Perfect for any chocolate lovers out there. Overall a cute place to bring your date. #singapore

Address: Shrimp Prawn Seafood, 53 Boat Quay, Singapore 049842 Located along Boat Quay, this restaurant serves affordable Thai seafood by the Singpore River. It was my first time eating here and I'm very satisfied with the experience there. We ordered:- 1. prawn ball - 8/10 crunchy crust with fresh prawn inside. It's a lovely appetiser but nothing too fancy. 2. mooping - 10/10 juicy and well balanced skewers that leaves you wanting more 3. Scallops vemicilli - 8/10 light and peppery! Scallops were huge and slightly overcooked. 4. King prawn vemicilli- 9/10 less peppery! I'm surprised both vemicilli dish had its own flavor. The prawn one was more flavourful and the prawn was crunchy and huge. 5. prawn noodle - 8/10 very unique dish but not something I would crave for regularly! 6. Red ruby - 9/10 not too sweet and very generous with the topping 7. lemon grass - 7/10 not too sweet but refreshing 8. thai milk tea - 10/10 thick and milky! tasted authentic Overall it's a nice ambiance, we got a seat by the water and the staff was very attentive and friendly which made the whole experience enjoyable! They didn't chase us away despite eating very slowly. Do remember to book in advance (for the river seating) as it's usually full house.

Boat Quay is one of Singapore's famous attractions. It is located close to Marina Bay and Clarke Quay nearby. On weekend evenings, you can take a stroll along the riverside and see exotic bars and restaurants everywhere. Many foreigners relax here to relax and enjoy a moment of leisure. Of course, the consumption is definitely not cheap, but it is worth it to enjoy such amazing scenery. The scenery here is almost the same as that in Europe and the United States. Many buildings along the river are in classical European style, including the Singapore Colonial Museum on the opposite bank!

#culturewalk Yakitori Yatagarasu izakaya Address: 72 Circular Rd, #01-01, Singapore 049426 This is an izakaya and it means “The Japanese word izakaya (居酒屋) is made up of three kanji with the meaning, in order, “stay-drink-place.” A spot to grab a drink, settle in, and get comfortable.” Get yourself a bar counter seat and you can watch the chef cooking and even grilling yakitori right in front of you. A great place to know about Japanese drinking culture without flying away. Once you are settled down, a big piece of frozen towel will be served. Yes, the iced towel has been freezed and laid out flat. It is interesting to see it for the first time. You can order as many yakitori as you wish, ala-cart style, or you can order their package meal. Also, try out their rice dishes which are seasonal based on what is available. You might be shocked to know they are grilling the internal organs from chicken. But it is tasty and it looks perfectly delicious. Please take note of their opening hours, they are open from 6pm to 11pm and close on Sunday. Please make reservations in advance or else try your luck by walking in, hoping for others to cancel their reservations.

#culturewalk River merchants Address: 1 Fullerton Square, Singapore 049178 Nearest MRT: Raffles Place MRT Exit H Take a walk along the Fullerton Hotel area and you will not miss these river merchants statues. Once you spot them, you will continue to look out for more statues because they are so comical as to tell you a story from their actions. From the website, these River Merchant statues are the work of Aw Tee Hong, a local sculptor. In summary, his sculptures are built on the stories of the Singapore River back in her trading days. How it was like back then when Singapore River was for commercial use. It also showcases different ethinic groups from their costumes. Probably, if you bring your grandparents along, they might be able to recall some stories about the Singapore River too. My parents told me they cannot recall much since they were still young and they did not go to Singapore River. Luckily I am able to retrieve the Singapore Stories via the National Library. If not, a local staycation at The Fullerton Hotel also can allow me to learn more about history.

Address: 86 circular road, Singapore 049438 Dumplings darlings is located at circular road near boat quay. As expected dumplings are on of their signature dishes. Tried the xo prawn noodles and it was really good. Filled with a lot of shallots and tobiko which made it very very flavorful. The xo seafood sauce is rly good as well. Also tried two different types of dumplings. The original and the spicy shi Chuan. The latter is similar to hongyouchaoshou. Original is jus good. Ordered the lunch set n it came with a drink. Total price is $16/pax but becoz I ordered the xo prawn noodles, have to top up $4. So total damage done per pax is abt $20. Highly recommended! Suggest to reserve a seat before going because it can get crowded during peak hours!!

#springitinerary Boat Quay is a historic and vibrant riverside district in Singapore, situated along the southern bank of the Singapore River. Once the epicenter of trade in the 19th century, it has transformed into a lively hub for dining, nightlife, and cultural experiences. In the 1800s, Boat Quay was the busiest part of Singapore's port, handling a significant portion of the nation's shipping business.

This all-glass curtain wall building was designed by a French designer. The facade lines are simple and neat, and the ground floor podium retains the 19th-century colonial-style arcades, forming a visual contrast with the surrounding modern skyscrapers. The lobby combines French elegance with Nanyang elements, with a black and white checkerboard floor and bronze decorations. The lounge area displays installation works by local Singaporean artists. The suite I stayed in was decorated in gray-blue and champagne gold, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city. The bedroom was equipped with Sofitel MyBed custom bedding, a deep soaking bathtub and Hermès toiletries, and the work area was equipped with an ergonomic chair.

#NewYearNewTrip #SingaporeTravel #UtripCard #MerlionPark #JewelWaterfall Hello, I'm not good at languages ​​at all, but I'm a glamorous person who doesn't buy tours and wants to travel by myself as I please. From the reviews of many people, Singapore is the most worth visiting country for someone who is not good at languages ​​like me. Traveling here is very convenient. There is very good public transportation that covers the whole city, so you don't have to worry about getting lost. Just open Google Maps or walk, which is just as convenient, but it's a bit tiring. 🤣 We went for 2 days and 1 night because we had very limited time, but all the landmarks are close to each other or just take a bus or MRT for a short while and you'll be there. As for the food, the taste here is delicious, but it's not as spicy as back home. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice is very delicious! The chicken is juicy. Bak kut teh is also great. I followed the famous restaurants that received awards and didn't disappoint. As for the cost of living, as we all know, it's very expensive, but compared to the price of airfare, I think it's no different from other countries where the ticket price is cheap. Because in other countries, the ticket price is cheap, the food is cheap, but the transportation is more expensive. For anyone who is thinking of traveling abroad by themselves Please let Singapore be one of your choices. It's clean, safe, modern city, and the people are super friendly. The more they know that we are Thai, the nicer they will be to us. Note: The whole trip, we used the Utrip card to pay only for the MRT, bus, and food. It's very convenient.
