Plans for Singapore


I decided at the last minute to take a ships tour... Here is a summary: In Singapore’s Chinatown you will walk through the alleyways to
the colorful Indian Temple located here. In a quaint Chinese tea
house (where Queen Elizabeth once visited) listen to a talk on
how the Chinese brew tea, take in the flavors and aromas of the
tea leaves, and take time for tea tasting. Unique Chinese tea pots
and tea leaves are also sold here. Next, visit exotic Little India to be charmed by the many shops selling spices, snacks, colorful
saris, glittering jewelry, accessories, brassware and other exotica.
Taste some spices, then continue past Arab Street and the
beautiful gold-domed Sultan Mosque. Then head off to lunch at the Raffles Hotel. At Raffles Hotel, a sumptuous Chinese set lunch will be served in
the Royal China Restaurant, one of Singapore’s best Chinese
restaurants where executive chef Law Wai Hung, with more than
25 years of culinary experience, shares that the secret of superb
dim sum lies in quality pastry and believes in using only the
freshest and best ingredients.
