Guests love Spicy Chinese!

Whenever we have guests come and visit us in Singapore there are a couple of core venues that we take them to in order to ensure that they have a true introduction to Singapore, whilst at the same time taking advantage of being able to go out for some very, very naughty dinner without feeling too much guilt. It’s all in a good cause after all!

            This time around it was actually Kev and Jules who had friends in town, but in the interest of diversifying who they spent time with during their flying two day visit to Singapore, we gate-crashed their plans and insisted that they followed our fail-safe “Welcome to Singapore” routine, and as always, it did not fail to impress!

            First up were drinks at the lovely Southbridge bar; a very understated and always relatively spacious rooftop bar with amazing views of the city without the accompanying price tag that you come to expect in this city.

            After drinks we headed straight over to Si Chuan Dou Hua, a very good Chinese restaurant in the middle of the business centre which always impresses guests, with great roast duck, wasabi prawns and tea ninjas who sneak up behind you and pour high speed tea into your tea cup from over a foot away. It’s a bizarre thing to see the first time they get you. Totally worth it whenever you have guests to stay.

            Following dinner there were a couple of drinks at the top of 1 Altitude, the highest alfresco bar in the world, and then we really did feel like we had come to the end of our impress-the-guests routine. We were out of suggestions and pretty tired, and so we snuck off at a relatively sensible hour, leaving them to work out whether they were going to go home and sleep before their early start at the airport, or if they were going to just dance through the night. I assume they went home, but you can never be too sure!!
