Food Trip in Singapore

One of the things we always look forward to on holidays is the opportunity to dine and sample different dishes. This holiday was filled with several dining opportunities as well as meet friends and family based in Singapore:

I always looked forward to the daily breakfast at Triple Three at the Mandarin Orchard, especially smoked salmon and the dimsum:
This was dessert at McCafe with TS and GS after a delicious dinner of tapas at a Spanish restaurant. Forgot to take photos at the restaurant and only remembered when we were having dessert. It was my first time in a McCafe:

This was after-dinner drinks at 313@Somerset, one of Singapore's newest malls:

Afternoon tea with high school friend FB and wife T at The TCC, Millenia Walk. Loved my peppermint coffee!
Lunch at Asian Kitchen, serving Taiwanese street food. This was at Ion Orchard, again one of Singapore's newest malls.
One of the highlights of staying at the Mandarin Orchard was Chatterbox's Chicken Rice, said to be one of the best in Singapore. We also enjoyed their Chicken curry and their prawn noodle dish:

Mandarin Orchard Singapore

We decided to spend the long weekend in Singapore. Since this was the first time we were going out of the country after my retirement, we made it extra special by staying at the Mandarin Orchard. Located right in the middle of Orchard Road and beside Ngee Ann City, it was the best hotel to stay in Singapore. Although so short, the long weekend was so memorable. More pictures later. Am having problems uploading pictures!
