Currently, we're jet lag's b!tch.
We collectively woke up around 2am, our first night here, whispering, what time is it?, we need to sleep more, and were able to pass out until a more respectable 5am. We had an awesome breakfast buffet in our hotel that deserves its own post with pictures and then went on a short bus tour that hit the National Orchid Garden at the Botanical gardens, a mineral and precious stone factory, Mount Faber, Chinatown, and Little India, where we grabbed lunch at the "Fodor's Choice" Banana Leaf Apolo.
Though we didn't have their reknowned Fish Head Curry, Paul and the girl loved the Chicken Tikka and Cheese Naan. I had the "vegetarian meal". It was amazing. You get this huge banana leaf with a huge mound of rice and about 12 sides of curries, vegetables, and sauces. It was unbelievable. Spicy, delicious, and a ridiculous value at about 4 US dollars, I don't who was thrilled more: the Cheap Bastard in me or the Fat one.
We got to our hotel room and passed out again for about 2 hours. We woke up to a phone call from housekeeping saying they wanted to clean our room. We went to the pool for a spell and by the time we got back and showered it was after 6pm. We're right next door to the Ngee Ann City mall with the famed Takashimaya flagship store and an amazing food court in the basement. We grabbed dinner there last night and we got more snacks and cream puffs there tonight. We were aiming to go to the Night Safari but totally collapsed into a Pringles and Beard Papa coma. Ugh, not pretty.
It is Sunday at about 4am. Today my goal is breaking the chains of jet lag.
