Next Destination: Singapore and Malaysia


A few weeks ago I booked my tickets to Singapore and Malaysia, mostly to attend Mr Brigs' cousin's wedding in Malaysia. It will be my first time in Singapore, and although I never really had the interest to visit this country before (please don't shoot me), I am getting excited...

I am now trying to research the must-do, sees and most importantly, eats (as well as some 'shops' perhaps?) in both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. Even though I have already been to the latter city, I feel I did not get to experience the amazing food my hubby is so patriotic about (don't even hint to him that Singaporean food is better than Malaysian, or a war will be raged on you), and that everyone else raves about.

So far, my research has added these to my must do's/sees/eats list:

Singapore:

Time available - almost 4 days
  1. High Tea at Raffles' Tiffin Room (must make a booking ASAP)
  2. Chicken Rice at Tian Tian (my research has told me this is the best in Singapore)
  3. Chilli Crab (I am dying to try this dish, after seeing/hearing/reading about it for so long) at 'No Signboard Seafood Restaurant' (and/or Jumbo Seafood and Long Beach Seafood restaurant in East Lagoon Food Village)
  4. Black Pepper Crab at Eng Seng Restaurant
  5. Go to Haji lane for shopping and also finding little eateries
  6. Go to Little India - eat at Banana Leaf Apollo on Racecourse Road
  7. Shop on Orchard Road (#1 destination: Dries Van Noten store) - I hear the super sales are on in Singapore, and am banking on the idea that there should be plenty in my size as everyone is so slim and petite in Singapore).
  8. Not sure about the usual tourist destinations (eg. Sentosa Zoo for Night Safari, which I would love to do, but will find hard to do with Lil J (who will be 14 months old by then).
Kuala Lumpur:

Time available - almost 4 days
  1. Shop at Pavillion (it wasn't there the last time I visited)
  2. Shop at KLCC (both of these are just for 'museum' shopping really).
  3. Shop at Chinatown Central Markets - I cannot get enough of their batik handpainted silk scarves...
  4. Eat at Jalan Alor - don't have any particular restaurant yet.
  5. Must do more research...'
I have yet to book my accommodation, but in Malaysia I will most likely be staying in the city, near KLCC.


I would love to hear any recommendations you might have on what to do/see/eat/shop/stay/buy in either city. Thanks in advance!
