Chinatown ~explore~

Hello, everyone! Did you enjoy meals in Chinatown last time? As I said before, today I'll take you to 1 day trip in Chinatown . Chinatown is located near the heart of Singapore. It takes about 50 minutes from Changi Airport to Chinatown station by MRT, subway. Chinatown Point When you get out of Chinatown MRT station, there is a big shopping mall which hundreds of thousands of people descend on from around Singapore and around the world, Chinatown Point . 170 stores and service centers are there, including Asian restaurants, tea shops, clothing  stores and massage shops. It is easily  for travelers to overlook more famous  stores, so if you can't choose a shop where you buy souvenirs, I strongly recommend you go around there.                       Do you drink bubble tea? If you want to try Singapore's bubble tea, how about grabbing The Koi's tea which is in the 1st floor?

Hello, everyone!👋 Next destination is Chinatown. As I said in the 1st post, Singapore is multicultural country and the 80% of the people is Chinese.

It has a number of fascinating points, so today I'll introduce food plan in Chinatown.  Breakfast        It focuses on a variety of food.

Kaya is coconut jam and some people may feel it's too sweet, so Singaporean way is to dip it in runny eggs and wash down with kopi. Typical kopi is added sugar and condense milk, but you can order the amount as you like. Ya Kun Kaya Toast and Killiney Kopitiam are well known chain restaurants which have a long history with Singaporean. If you don't know which cafe serves us kopi, you should try the two shops.

Singapore is modern, international, romantic and artistic... I couldn't find out an appropriate word to express this country. Many cultures are mixed and spread all over the country because a long time ago, people from China, India ,Malaysia and some Europe came to do business and trade, so the Singaporean consists of Chinese, Indian and European people. You can't believe that you are in one of the Asian countries. When you step into the beautiful city, Merlion, the iconic landmark welcome you at first. It has a lion's head and fish's body. Merlion's body represents that Singapore was a fishing village a long time ago and its head is from Singapura, an original name, which means lion's city. People say Merlion Statue protects the country not to happen a tragedy like the past and wish everyone peaceful life. If you go see and take pictures with Merlion Statue, you yourself should be the second Merlion like this. I recommend you that you explo
