Legoland, Malaysia

     Since it's a 5 day trip to Singapore, I told my daughter to make a side trip to Malaysia and she decided that Legoland is much nearer than the other Malaysia attraction. So she brought a discounted ticket.  Original price is at RM140 which she brought at RM112.  On the way to Legoland a chinese cab driver ask if we have brought a ticket and he said he can get us a ticket at RM110.00 but since we already brought it earlier we did not tell me the price.

                         

Entrance Fee


                          There's nothing to see inside. (picture above)

A real Train Ride
      All Ride inside Legoland are already paid in the entrance so ride till you drop.

Boat Ride

Fire Truck
      There are 2 fire truck and you can race 1 another to put out the fire. I think it's always the white one wins.

4D movie
     The movie is great but if you do not want to be went wear a rain coat. Don't use the umbrella. You will be blasted by strong wind and a drizzle of water sometimes soap suds coming from above.  All movie are play 1 by 1 so after watching the 1st one go back in line again until you finish all 4.

     
                                        First time to see a toilet for the family.

     Race to the top by pulling a string. Test of your upper arm strength. Each ride is for 2 person and as you know if you let go of the rope you'll go down again at the bottom

log ride
                            Get ready to be soak wet.

Tim Ho Wan (Singapore)

    My hubby been telling to make a trip to Singapore and visit my daughter so finally the time to visit arrive.  Since my daughter has been working none stop and has not try Tim Ho Wan in Singapore; her 1 week leave gives her, her brother and me a time to bond at Tim Ho Wan

    Tim Ho Wan at Plaza Singapura is really a bit small as compare to Philippines Big Restaurant.  No wander there was this so call feeding frenzy. Like Hongkong and Singapore restaurant are mostly crowded during lunch and dinner  hour. In order to avoid this especially if you're a tourist go there at around 2-4pm when there is still school and office hour.

      Above is the news paper clipping of their opening day while below is the queue. It's a good thing here in the Philippines there are many dimsum houses the only thing that will make a queue here if there is a discount or promo
    

the Menu board

                              Actually there is so little choices to choose from

          This is just how big Tim Ho Wan at Plaza Singapura looks like.

Congee with Lean pork, century egg and salted egg
               A small bowl and not even great for sharing a spoon or two

Bake BBQ Bun
      A Thin layer of bun with BBQ pork inside bake till golden brown so soft  but not as full as the picture depict it. The 1st impression is that it look like our local asado bread but when cut a much thinner crust and a juicier meat inside. No wonder this is their best seller.



Wasabi Salad prawn dumplings
      It's like another version of the Hakaw but instead it uses the wanton wrapper, which was wrap twice and fried and then spread with some wasabi sauce. The wrapper was really crispy and the Wasabi sauce actually was not even that spicy so kids can also enjoy this dish.  Below is what is actually inside big juicy prawn.




siomai with quail egg

    Here in the Philippines we have a much better version of it 1 whole quail egg stuff below the siomai

Liver Rice Roll
    We did not try the regular rice roll since we have try the local brand; so we order the Liver rice roll to know if there is any special Nothing special since it really taste like liver. If you don't like liver don't order this one.  I prefer another rice roll from another store wherein they have scallop rice roll really delicious.

Beef Ball

              The same taste as our local beef ball (above) and chicken feet (below)

Chicken Feet

Tonic Medlar & Osmanthus Cake
     It like jelly or panna cotta but with medicinal herbs. So this is were Golden Bay gotten it's idea only is Osmanthus jelly a little bit lighter in color

A very long vacation which I discuss with my daughter  to made additional trip to Malaysia.
