We started the morning with a cable car ride. Our tickets included both cable car lines, as well as a trip on the new glass-bottom capsule.
With the first stop being Mount Faber, we all schlepped up the hill in not-very-delightful heat and humidity because Pieter saw that there is a Merlion on top at Faber Point.
It was well worth it since the views were stunning from up there.
The ride on the rest of the cable lines was very enjoyable and seeing first Singapore and then Sentosa Island from the top was well worth it.
Back to Hopscotch we went since the rest of the gang wanted to have the cocktail experience as well.
For the evening the whole group went off to Clark Quay for dinner and then a city lights cruise on a ‘bumboat’
Not only were the lights and views breathtaking, we were also in time to see the real Merlion as well as a water and light show at Gardens on the Bay. The scale of the show was unimaginable.
A brilliant ending to a great time in Singapore.
According to Malay legends, Sang Nila Utama was the founderof Singapura.
While hunting wild animals on the island he came upon a strange animal resembling a lion and therefore decided to name the island “Singa” (meaning lion) and “pura” (meaning city)
Drawn from ancient Chinese immortality elixirs, this cocktail is served in a Royal Chinese goblet paired with preserved bayberries, and osmanthus jelly, delightful treats once enjoyed by royalty. With a twist on the classic Negroni, it incorporates eight treasure ratafia, which adds a unique oriental flavour.
