Singapore Sling

Hey,

As you know if you are reading my travel page I had a Singapore Sling today at Raffles in the Long Bar which was invented there, so let's tell you about it.

This cocktail was invented and created in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon at Raffles Singapore. At this time women were not allowed to drink alcohol in public so Ngiam created to drink to reach that target audience so that the drink would look like some kind of fruity punch.

I have had a Singapore Sling before on my birthday when I went got for a meal, but obviously this cocktail was much better.

More to come, comment below if you have had an experience with Singapore Slings that you would like to share.

Thunderstorm

Hey,

Today we had planned to go to the Gardens by the bay but there was a thunderstorm, my first one in Singapore that we got to watch for a while from our hotel room which was entertaining. However, we couldn't stay in all day and we were going to the cinema later so we decided to go shopping at the Orchid. They had a Ted Baker and there is a great Singapore sale on, sales everywhere. I mean it, EVERYWHERE!

Our shopping trip ended up with Sue getting a new purse with her name embossed on it. I also brought something, a top that suited me perfectly and I don't think Maria got anything, not from the lack of looking and trying things on.

Afterwards we went to the cinema and the combo's you could get was so strange one I think had a hot dog in it. We chose combo A which is 1 drink: Cola, popcorn: salted and a pot of chicken nuggets, I mean come on we're going to watch a film not eat dinner. Oh forgot, we went to see 'Alice through the looking glass' as it had only just come out in Singapore. It was amazing, I absolutely loved both the media and the storyline. I would definitely recommend it.

Once the film was over we went to Raffles to the Long Bar to have a Sinapore Sling (read more on food page) before going to dinner and then back to the hotel.
