One good thing about the Crowne Plaza is it's just a short elevator ride to the mall at the airport, giving us access to food, grocery stores, and shopping all downstairs. After visiting some relatives, it was time to visit my mom's close friend from college.
Dinner with them was at a slightly dirty Chinese Seafood restaurant, with hairs in drinks, rats, and a big "B" on the wall for Singapore food hygene. However, hygiene aside, the food was brilliant. Even if bathrooms and water don't work. And the tables were wobbly. Without that, the food itself was excellent, with butter prawns, garlic crab, sweet and sour pork, black peppered beef, and claypot tofu. Everything was full with Singapore energy. This restaurant is just off Pusir Panjang road, next to a Danish pastry store. Even though it was a "B", I would give it an A for food, maybe not hygiene, but you get used to that around here.
Rushing back to the airport to get my sister from college, we finally saw her. Everyone was together now, with my energetic sister, which was of course great. After talking with her for hours, we slept late in the middle of the night. I fell asleep to the soft hums of a gliding airplane, while seeing the lights of an endless sea of ships and the ever growing Singapore night sky.
