Skatepark At Sommerset, Singapore

In 2013, while exploring the neighborhood near Mandarin Orchard Hotel in Singapore, I was lucky enough to find this hub for teens and kids. At the back of Orchard Road there is a Skatepark accessible via the Sommerset exit of their MRT. Here, kids / teens and the not-so-young converge to have fun with their skateboards, bikes or just by watching. I took this using my camphone. I felt my stomach churn I think because of envy. We don't have this kind of park around my area back home. Although, there's one now in Laguna or so I heard and in Manila. Still, I hope one day this would be a dime a dozen in the Philippines so kids/teens even the young at heart can enjoy. :)

Singapore-style Street Ice Cream

About a couple of years ago, I had the chance to stay tin Singapore for short of a week due to a company-sponsored conference. We stayed in Mandarin Hotel along Orchard Road and the first food I tried was their street Ice cream!!!! Back home, street ice creams are scoops of various flavors served in sugar cones. So I was stoked to find out street Ice Cream in Singapore were blocks served in wafer, cones or sandwich!!!! All for about a singapore dollar or so :)  I tried the sandwich and wafer and both were yummy!!! But, how can you go wrong with Ice Cream? here's a short video of how they prepare street ice cream Singapore-style :) Enjoy!!!
