Adventures in Singapore: Chapter 10: Sentosa Island

We started the day with a yummy breakfast at a restaurant on Dempsey Road, an English place with a tropical flair – great shop! Delicious!  Jeff’s scrambled eggs toast and side bowl of bacon!  Fruit & yogurt for Emma

My order: Pancakes – literally cakes baked in a pan with mangos and topped with ice cream and cane syrup, with a nice side bowl of bacon

I mentioned in Chapter 9, Sentosa Island felt like Pinocchio's Pleasure Island.  See the picture from the movie on the right… look at the photos at the end of the post… Pleasure Island indeed!  Check out it’s website: http://www.sentosa.com.sg/en/ Their slogan is “Sentosa: Asia’s Favorite Playground”  Play ground indeed… this trip into Sentosa we drove, you pay a admittance fee to drive onto the island – like an entrance toll, and parking fees are a standard Singapore feature (they are set up like ez-pass toll scanners) 

We already played around Imbiah Look out, our first stop was to Siloso Beach!   We didn’t intend to get in, although Jen brought the girls a change of clothes (and I did too!) I had to take a dip in the straight of Singapore!  (see the oil tankers in the background) The girls had fun too!  

 

Cleaned up and headed to the Amusement Park and Mall part of Sentosa

Lunch at a Swanky Chinese Restaurant just outside of the Theme Park

  Emma and Ethne are very good with chopsticks!

Our Feast! We tried many things, noodles, fried wonton like things and some of the best sweet and sour pork ever!
