Before we start the journey, we ought to figure out the perfect way to commute. Buy the EZ-link card to traverse via Singapore MRT. Throughout my trip, I had always travelled on the hassle-free Singapore MRT. Almost all of the major attractions in Singapore will be at a walking distance from the MRT stations.

I wanted to have some nice Singaporean delicacies on my first day and after a prior research, I headed to ChinaTown. ChinaTown is a place full of beautifully decorated narrow roads with souvenir shops selling antiques, crafts, etc. ChinaTown is famous for its Food Street lined up with many restaurants, hawker places and I have savoured the must-try Carrot Cake.

Singaporeans love nature and green spaces. See the high rise, right there!! Completely decked up with plants.

After the lunch, I headed to the merlion park. After getting down at BayFront MRT, it was a short stroll to reach the Merlion Plaza.
