[Brother] Arrrgh!!!
Good morning Bloggineers, we're at Village Hotel Changi, and today we are going to live like a local.
This hotel is a breath of fresh air from the usual city hotels.
You can wake up to lush foliage and crisp sea breeze and also try local cuisines at nearby dining options.
First we're going to have breakfast at the hotel.
I like the omelet station and my mom's favorite was the noodle of the day.
And if you're still hungry, there's even a vending machine here called Chef in a Box.
How do they even fit a person in here?
We're at Changi Ferry Terminal, and we will be taking a boat to Pulau Ubin.
[Brother] Ubin?
The ferry ride cost $3 per person and the boat departs when it's full with12 people.
However if the boat isn't full yet, you can pay the difference and the ferry will take off right away.
Located in northeast of the city, Pulau Ubin is one of the last rural areas to be found in Singapore.
20 minutes later.
We reached our destination.
After a short boat ride, we have arrived in Pulau Ubin.
There are many bike rentals on this island, but because Brother cannot ride one well, we will be taking a van to get around.
Watch out for the pedestrians!
We're at Chek Jawa Wetlands.
This is a unique natural area where six major ecosystems meet.
We're stopping by the information kiosks to learn more about the island.
Let's check out the Chek Jawa Visitor Centre.
Now we're going hiking at the park.
What a cool view from here.
There are some rules to follow as you approach the coastal boardwalk.
Along the way there are many stations where you can learn about the surrounding environment.
Too bad we came during high tide because we do not see the plants and creatures that are covered by the water.
Now we're entering the mangrove section.
Lastly we're climbing up the Jejawi Viewing Tower.
[Brother] Aye.
Brother is just one step away, and he's all out.
The sight from the top of the observation tower is magnificent.
This was a beautiful island to visit.
Time to get on the boat and head back.
We;re at the Changi Village Hawker Centre to get some lunch.
This is a convenient spot for weekend fishermen and residents living in nearby estates.
Our fist stop is Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak. And the reason why we chose this was because it was crowded.
Nasi Lemak is a Malay fragrant rice dish with coconut milk and pandan leaf.
We're having a combo with fried chicken.
Tastes different than American fried chicken.
Tastes like chicken.
That was yummy
Let's see what else is here.
We're so full ready, but now we're going to try some herbal Bak Kut Teh.
This is a pork rib dish cooked in broth.
It tastes like plant soup.
Let's buy something refreshing to drink, sugarcane juice.
We've headed back to Village Hotel Changi.
I'm gonna give you a tour of our room.
This room comes with very comfy beds and some complimentary water, pitcher and some glasses and in-room dining menu.
And there's even a window that looks into the bathroom.
[Brother] Hello!
[Brother] There's a toilet.
[Brother] There's a sink.
[Brother] There's a rain shower.
Don't turn on the rain shower on me.
Stay tuned for Gardens by the Bay.
