Summer in Manila is just around the corner and this just means one thing : It's time to plan your summer trips! For those who are coming to Singapore in the coming months or even years, I will begin this series called Explore Singapore!  highlighting several must-visit places that you could consider to include in your itinerary. It's true. Singapore is a small country but being small doesn't mean there's not much to see. Living here for a year, I've come to realized that there are a lot of places that I have yet to visit. As Paul and I would dedicate our weekends in exploring the city, our love for the Little Red Dot grows more and more. Let me begin with the most popular one -- welcome to Universal Studios Singapore ! Since it opened about 4-5 years ago, Universal Studios Singapore or USS as we would call it, has been one of the most visited spot here in Singapore. It really just shows that theme parks are not just for kids. For example, my parents who v...

Outside Universal Studios Singapore, you'll find a row of mouth-watering Western food establishments to satisfy your hunger. One particular store caught our attention...well I guess it was due to the line that doesn't seem to fall below 15 waiting customers. I've first heard of Garrett Popcorn from fellow blogger and friend Richard who told me not to miss this when we visit Sentosa. On our way out, I made sure to follow Richard's advice and boy were we glad we did!

It was a bright and sunny morning as Paul and I made our way to Universal Studios Singapore . Going there was a breeze, we took the MRT all the way to Harbourfront which was adjacent to a mall called Vivo City . Just follow the directional signages leading you up to the top level where you can buy your ticket to ride the Sentosa Rail for only $3/round trip. While waiting for our train to arrive, we walked around the outdoor deck and marveled at the cute artsy decors that they have installed for both kids and adults to enjoy. From the balcony, you'll see the signage that says Sentosa. On board the Sentosa Rail, you get to choose any one from the three stations where you want to alight. All passengers heading to Universal Studios and Resorts World will have to alight at the Waterfront Station . Another way to get to Sentosa is through the Cable Car. You have to go up to Mt. Faber where the terminal is located. However, this is not advisable for those who are afraid of heig...
