Guys,

I need to arrange a first-time "in-laws meet-up" (my family + fiancee's family) dinner this weekend. Any recommendations? About 10 ppl, I'm paying all so I don't feel like going swanky, think I can feed 10 mouths in a proper dinner for like $300?

Currently thinking of Seafood International cos food is "ok" and not too expensive, but that's only cos I don't know of any other places ...

Does your hotel provide you free parking? Do you have GPS while in Singapore?

Find a hotel that's walking distance to an MRT station, then you can just MRT to Harbourfront. Otherwise just use google maps and use the "public transit" method and it will give you the directions as to what bus or MRT to take, where to switch lines, etc.


Impossible. For that budget you have to search for backpacker lodges or hostels. The budget hotels like Hotel81 will be at least sgd60 (rm150) or more.

if you shop around a bit, rm250 might be able to borderline get you some 2 or 3-star hotels. I think I remember my auntie last time came and stayed at value hotel thompson or thomson or something like that and she was paying slightly over sgd100-ish/night

if you're going during weekends and/or school holiday then probably safer to buy online from their website.

do you mean how do you get to singapore from skudai? or how do you get to ITE college once you're in singapore?

this kind of budget you can only get 1 star "hotels." go agoda.com for an idea of how much singapore hotels cost.

Not 100% strictly enforced rule kua. Some LYN kaki's here have managed to enter SG on <6mths validity passport, seems that none of them were turned back at immigration.

SG is expensive. My lunch today was just two bowls of ramen for myself + fiancee also $48 liao (rm115). i'm assuming you do know that $30/night accomodation only buys you hostel-style bedding, right?

1. 30 days max per stay
2. 60 days max out of every 90 days

example you come in 30days, then go out and come back in another 30 days, then you must stay out 30 days before coming in again.

spicy miso version is, if i remember correctly, $21 before service charge and tax

no need. they will just go over to your car and look at the road tax disc on the windscreen.

To me, the pork is very tender and the portion is huge (a lot of noodles) but at the end it was salt overload. The pork cheek dunno how they braise until very salty edges, the miso soup also salty, wah by the end of the meal feel like body become ham choi already.

Ramen is subjective but for me the best still Ippudo at Mandarin Gallery.



The tonkotsu or the ramen? I've only gone to Keisuke's (same person) Keisuke Ramen over at Parco Millenia Walk but nothing special also the ramen. Cos his specialty is the prawn-based ramen which Singaporeans all comment say taste too much like local prawn mee so he decided to stop selling it, lol.

take red line MRT to Kranji, walk across the road then take bus 170 to JB

Generally, most things are roughly equivalent to more expensive here (after conversion). Unless you willing to really dig at those cash converter shops (2nd hand goods) at the heartlands shopping areas.

try this site i guess http://www.buffetsingapore.com/

I don't generally like buffets so I don't know of any good ones.

have you been to the sands theatre? the cheaper tickets sit damn far and damn high up leh

backpack lodge quite safe, what are you worried about? passport phone all keep on your body lor.

according to google maps, changi airport to cck mrt = 36km

cdg taxi rate, first 1km = $3.20 then
Every 400m thereafter or less up to 10km $0.22
Every 350m thereafter or less after 10km $0.22
