One of the must-visit places in Singapore is Sentosa Island. It’s about a 30-minute train ride from the city, and even quicker by taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I prefer to use the train for my travels, so this time I took the subway and the Sentosa Express to the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, I headed to HarbourFront Station by subway, and from there, I switched to the Sentosa Express, which took me directly to Sentosa Island. At HarbourFront Station, there is a shopping mall called VivoCity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, there’s a food court called “Food Republic” on the way to the transfer. It looks Chinese at first glance, but it has a variety of international cuisines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The food court is spacious with many stalls, but it can get crowded, so secure a seat before buying your food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to have lunch here and managed to find an available counter seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What caught my interest was a type of shark fin soup. It wasn’t as refined as what you’d find in a high-end restaurant, but it was delicious enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As that wasn’t enough for a meal, I also tried “Pai Tee,” a famous Peranakan appetizer resembling spring rolls, which was tasty as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I went for the mango pudding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With dining out being expensive in Singapore, it was great to enjoy various dishes at such an affordable food court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After the meal, I took the Sentosa Express to Sentosa Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
