Checking out Sentosa
It’s quite mind boggling that I’ve been living in Singapore for the past seven months now but I’ve actually never been to Sentosa yet. I visited the island once when I was maybe 10 or 11 years old, but that doesn’t count since pretty much everything has changed since then!
So this past friday, I met up with my friend Gavin for dinner. He’s a member at the golf club at sentosa and was playing during the day, so we met up there. Getting into the island was easy enough thanks to the monorail (which you catch at the top level of vivo city) and the free shuttles that goes around the island. When I got to the club, he gave me a quick tour and we decided to have dinner there.
I had the cheeseburger, which was yummy! And I was surprised that the prices were actually not expensive. I’m used to golf club prices being expensive, but I guess not at sentosa (even though it’s definitely one of the nicer golf clubs i’ve been to).
They didn’t like that I was wearing flip flops though… I forgot places like that must have dress codes. But I don’t regret wearing flip flops since we went to check out the beach area after.
From the golf club we walked to Tanjong beach, which didn’t seem to have much going on except for the new Tanjong Beach Club. It looked nice (reminds me of resorts in Bali) but didn’t have much going on that night despite it being a Friday night. So then we decided to take the shuttle to the other beach, Siloso, which had more night life and rows of bars / lounges along the beach.
View from Siloso beach. yes, this is a bad picture but it was pretty dark already…
He also showed me where the aquarium is. it was already closed at the moment, but i’m definitely going back to check it out! I love aquariums :) caught a few sights of super huge turtles and stingrays in the pool out front.
