Singapore (Thread 27)

[ficklemind]

^ natry ko na ilang beses magbook sa busonlineticket pati na din sa easybook. Ok naman. But not the Legoland package.
Just make sure iprint nyo yung confirmation details or i-screenshot nyo.
Naranasan na namin na hinde makita yung booking namin (medyo oldie na din kasi yung staff ng bus company) pero nagawan na naman ng paraan agad agad.

Thanks sa tip sis

Tanong ko lang saan makakabili ng murang ticket ng USS? yung open dated? Madami kasi kami 6 pax and gusto namin makatipid sana.

You can check this promotion

Reasonable ba ang taxi fare doon? Kasi sabi ng iba mahal daw. Relative naman ang mahal. Baka reasonable naman kaya natanong ko para di na ako kumuha ng van doon. Thanks!

You can try Grab or Grab share para makatipid.  If hindi rush hour you will spend about Sgd12 to 14 lang kahit 2 pa kayo.  It's so easy to get around Singapore, the city is so small lang.  Better to get a taxi para hindi din nkakapagod sa MRT.

Hi! any feedback po about Carlton Hotel? we'll be staying in this hotel kasi may attendan na conference ang asawa ko sa MBS. malayo bang lakarin? masipag maglakad asawa kaya lang di ko talaga alam expect sa SG na lakaran hehe. although nakapagstay na kami sa HK at madalas puro lakad din doon.


Salamat po sa sasagot!

Is it the Carlton City Hotel? Ang alam ko kasi when my friend stayed there, mga 30 minutes daw na lakaran going to MBS. Not sure anong phasing ng lakad nya ha. But thats what she told me lang nung inaantay namin sya before sa MBS for a dinner. Nagkataon kasi kararating lang nila sa SG nun kame naman pauwi na the following day. So we decided to have a dinner sa MBS since matagal na kame di nagkikita sa Pilipinas at that time. Tapos after dinner naglalakad lakad kame sa Helix bridge.

Here in SG, we use google map and it will tell you which bus to take.  Carlton to MSB is bus 11 for 11 mins travel.

[ficklemind]

parang 2 ang Carlton,
 Carlton Hotel yung nasa may City Hall tska yung Carlton City na nasa Tanjong Pagar naman.
Hinde pa ako nakapagstay both hotels but dun sa Carlton Hotel (City Hall) natry ko na buffet nila twice, ang sarap! hehe
Maganda location nito.
May buses going to MBS from here, mabilis lang siya.
Kaya din naman lakarin kung matiyaga, mga 2km ang layo.

mga sis na nagreply, thank you po ng marami!

Doon kami sa may Carlton Hotel sa may City Hall. Ayun pala may bus pero sabi ng asawa ko parang gusto nya maglakad para maexperience daw talaga ang SG. Ayan na-excite naman ako sa buffet nila sis ficklemind hehe! Buong linggo kami sa SG, 7 days. Baka pwede din makahingi recommendation saan pwede kumain. Yung hindi sana masyadong pricey ngunit masarap hehe. Thank you!

Kami lang 2 ng anak(5years old) ko ang maglilibot sa SG habang nasa work ang asawa ko.

^Kaya naman maglakad sis.  Mga 20 mins walk lang. 

Hanapin nyo sa google map yung walking direction from carlton hotel to Esplanade (presaved from hotel's wifi). Then from esplanade, take the helix bridge to MBS building kung san nandito yung mga exhibition halls.

It will be a well worth walk kasi maganda ang view at madadaanan nya ang interesting places within the city.

^thank you sis! maglakad kami ng hapon ng Sunday with my 5year old para exercise na din. Huwag lang sana maulan, Salamat!

^Hi! May nakapag-try na ba mag-uwi ng frozen Swedish meatballs from IKEA to Manila? Allowed ba siya na hand-carry?

Thank you.

[xtine]

^Ako sis, all the time.  I bring 2 kilos of frozen Ikea meatballs ever uwi ko from SG to Pinas.  You can do that with no problems.

[travelling_daisy]

^Thanks for the confirmation, sis!

I plan to bring home too. Okay lang handcarry, di ba? I'll wrap it properly na lang, maybe inside a Lock&Lock container?

[xtine]

^sis, wag hand carry.  Ikea meatballs are pre cooked so what I do is I freeze it and wrap it in newspaper.  Then pagdating sa pinas, medyo cold lang sha dahil nawala ang pag freeze.

No worries about checking it in.  Pero don't hand carry. 

[travelling_daisy]

^OH, I see... Thanks for the tip, sis. Buti na lang talaga I asked. Sige, I'll pack it the way you do na lang din and sa checked in luggage.

Thanks again

[xtine]

^No worries sis.  Add ko lang, don't forget to ask the cashier for "package" kasi normally when you buy 1 KG meatball + gravy + lingonberry jam, merong package na mas mura lalabas.

But if you only want the meatball, its SGD 15.80 per kilo

^Noted, sis. Will do. Thanks so much for the tips! So glad that I did asked.
