Singapore (Thread 20)

[Bel_84]

Hi sis xtine, my daughter po is 5 months old. will check na rin muna the links you gave. Salamat

[xtine]

^oops. My bad sis. . Naku, SG is panay lakad and crowd.  Mainit pa and maulan.  There are places for your other folks to roam around pero hindi ba dyahe to tour the place with a very small baby?  Concern lang sis.  I think you better wait for moms here to comment.  But as to places to go to, marami na sya nabanggit dito sa thread.

[minami617]

sis xtine, whole day naman kami sa USS. ang mahal nga ng express pass. sige, bahala na. Hindi na lang ako kukuha. thank you.

[lavinia13]

mga sis ano po ang mairerecommend nyo na  must eat sa makansutra gluttons bay? yung masarap po at mura lang ( mga less than S$5 kung meron)

[meimei]

@Bel_84, naku honestly, hindi advisable na mag-tour sa SG with a very young baby.sana hinintay na lang na toddler na. kasi mainit, then uulan, tapos puro lakad. if you haven't booked yet at nagpla-plano pa lang kayo, i suggest na wag na lang muna. wait na lang na toddler na siya para at least ma-enjoy niyo yung experience (and if i'm going to be very honest, for a toddler feeling ko mas enjoy pa sila sa HK Disneyland kasi USS is pang-tweens up na ang most of the rides because of height requirements, samantalang sa HK Disneyland maraming pambata talaga, may Disney fireworks pa).

but if you already booked na for SG, then first and foremost, when you prepare your itinerary, hindi dapat jampacked kasi wawa naman si baby. honestly, mahihirapan kayo pag nag-USS kayo, kasi magsa-salitan kayo ng hawak kay baby para makasakay kayo sa rides. kasi mostly rides talaga to and wala masyadong "other activities" for someone w/ a baby. kung di niyo mama-maximize ang rides, sayang ang bayad. so maybe wag niyo na lang muna ito isama sa iti.

you can go to SG Zoo, pero not at Night Safari kasi kailangan tahimik eh baka umiyak si baby. tsaka mahihirapan kayo na asikasuhin si baby in the dark. you can still go to the usual: Gardens by the Bay, Merlion Park, MBS, etc (see previous itineraries). i-spread out niyo na nga lang. kasi basically, yan naman talaga ang tourist destinations sa SG.

[Bel_84]

Sis meimei thank you sa inputs, biglaan lang kasi itong trip na ito eh. We've already booked for it. Medyo na disheartened ako ng konti... atleast alam ko na pano I prepare ang itinerary namin.. Bonding bonding na lang kahit lakad at tingin tingin lang:)

Just got back from SG. I didn't like No Signboard. In my opinion, overpriced siya.
Akala ko expensive pero sobrang sarap. It was okay. Mas nagustuhan ko Singapore
Seafood Republic sa may RWS and hawker centre sa Chinatown. Thanks sa threadna ito,
I found out about the stingray and fried baby squid sa last stall sa Smith St. 
I also felt na kung nakapag Universal Studios na before, pwede na siya ma-miss out.
Yung iba kasi na-try kona sa US kaya parang di sulit yung price ng ticket. Pero na-enjoy
ko sobra yung Transformers 3D!!! 

[xtine]

^glad you liked the stingray with sambal and fried baby squids.  Re USS, yes, mas enjoyable talaga pag sa US na universal studios.  Mas malaki and may tour pa unlike dito sa SG na purely rides lang talaga.

[travelling_daisy]

Hi mga sis! Any recommended resto near or within Gardens by the Bay? Initially set my mind of dining at Peach Garden Noodle Restaurant but if you have better reco, I might consider...

[dooonna]

^For me its ok to buy on the spot.  I buy on the spot all the time as just in case magkatamaran, no need to cancel the tickets.  Btw sis, what is RSW?  Resorts world sentosa?

Typo sis, hehe! RWS Thanks for answering my question! Decided to purchase thru Travel Delight instead, learned about it dito sa thread. Weee!

Another question mga sis. May mga nakatry na ba sa inyo dun sa airport shuttle from Changi to hotel? 'yung 9sgd per adult? Ano ichura ng sasakyan? And may mga kasabayan ba? Convenient ba siya? Or taxi na lang? 4 adults kasi kami. No airport transfer provided by our hotel. Ayaw namin kasi ng MRT or public bus.

Tama! Tapos parang konti lang yung meet & greet characters. Sayang di ako umabot kay Brendan Fraser look alike - cutie! haha
Pag lunch, sa mga food republic ng malls kami kumakain. okay rin naman.
Sayang di ko na try Din Tai fung and Osia sa RWS. Masarap kaya?
We had lunch sa Malaysian Food Republic ba yun sa RWS. Mahal rin inabot ah.
Natuwa ako sa Hard Rock hotel. Love the lighting and colors hehe Dami rin Filipinos.
Nakakatuwa kasi nacoconfuse sa akin mga tao. (Ako rin naman nacoconfuse minsan if magTatagalog ako or mag English sa mukhang Pinoy. English na lang muna para sigurado kasi baka Malay) May kumakausap sa akin ng Mandarin and Malay. Minsan mga turista rin na akala yata nila kababayan nila ako. Some Pinoys working there would take a long look at me, then talk to me in English. Parang pinagiisipan kung Pinoy rin ako. Tapos pag nag English ako, giveaway na. Minsan di na tatanungin kung pinoy ako. Derechong Tagalog na hehe

[princess lorraine]

^masarap sa din tai fung sis. Best xiao long pao and braised beef noodles for me. Try it next time. 

[dooonna]

Ilang araw na ako nasstress sa IT namin!  Haha! Anyway, question again mga sis, ano kaya dapat kong piliin? USS on a Friday (less crowd compared sa Sat) but without the Hollywood Parade and the fireworks or USS on a Saturday (haba pila) but with the parade and fireworks? May difference ba sa crowd if Friday or same lang? Kasi if same lang, then Saturday na lang kami :p I'm confused! Going there this April, btw.

I think sis you can skip the wild wild wet and replace it with Singapore Zoo, baka magenjoy ba ang mga bagets.  Legoland and Hello kitty can be done in one day basta naka package tour.  Para di na rin kayo nakahotel and save sa time lalo na sa hatid sundo sa legoland / Hello kitty.  Laging may ganitong promo sa all deals asia or groupons:

Wala lang ako makita sa google na Legoland plus hello kitty land with transpo pero dati meron.

On your 6th day, you can visit Marina bay sands, esplanade, merlion or yung wild wild wet kung type nyo.

[xtine]

Sis elayne_althor, Day 1 is okay na but I do suggest to put USS on the first day para matapos na sya.  Still on day 1, since wala naman parade, you may go to Songs of the sea.  7:30 dumidilim dito so kung matatapos kayo ng USS around 6PM meron pa kayo time kumain ng dinner sa beach station ng sentosa while waiting for Songs of the sea at 8:30 PM.

On your second day, maybe you want to go to Esplanade, Marina bay sands, Merlion tutal those are within the same area.  Then chinatown for pasalubong.  Magtaxi nlang kayo, wala pa shang S$10 from Esplanade or Marina bay sands.

On your third day, yun Singapore Zoo nyo.  Its better to go to the zoo early in the morning para marami kayong mapuntahan at hindi gahol sa oras.

Hello guys, I know sg is generally safe and i've been there last 2011 pero just want to ask if ok lang ba sa geylang area? kasi dun may mga murang hotels/inns. Red district kasi kaya worried lang ako lalo na kapag gabi dun. wala naman kaming batang kasama. Also, any feedback sa hotel 81 geylang or palace and fragrance hotel pearl and ruby? thanks!
