The cruise centre at Marina South will double Singapore's berthing capacity and will cater to the world's largest cruise ships.

Garden by the bay @ Marina South

Gardens by the Bay is a national garden for local residents to enjoy in the heart of Singapore's downtown. The soon-to-be-opened Gardens by the Bay is the first major publicly funded attraction to levy differing entry fees on local residents and foreigners. In designing the Gardens, board public feedback on what they wanted in a national garden, and worked hard to make it accessible to all. This is the reason for offering a lower admission rate, discounts and concessions, and annual passes for local residents. ST date 2012.4.6 .

Tebing Lane @ Punggol

A spot of indoor fishing and prawning, a game of futsal or pool, and when all that is done, to tuck in at the clutch of food and beverage outlets there. Restaurants there range from fast-food chain Popeyes to seafood, and there is also a Japanese restaurant and a bistro on the banks of the Serangoon River. ST date 2012.3.13 .

Tom's Citizoom Mee Pok Tar

Tom tries to innovate is the addition of crumbled fish crackers which he sprinkles on top of the noodles just before serving. I have my reservations about this. I think the idea of adding that crunchy texture is good, but I didn't think that the fish crackers blended well enough with the noodles. A few slivers of crispy fried Ti Poh (Dried Sole Fish) would have been a more traditional and time tested way to go. Facebook dated 2012.04.20
