Today we went to Chinatown!
We walked to Chinatown from our hotel. On the way, we found a restaurant called The Salted Plum. We were hungry, so we decided to stop. We ordered a pork belly rice bowl, sticky ribs, and fried chicken. They were all great. For dessert we got a complimentary red tea jellies, creme and tapioca balls, all together it was surprisingly pretty good.
The one place that I really wanted to go in Singapore was Mao Shan Wang Cafe. It is a cafe that I found on Insider that serves everything durian. If you don't know what durian is, it is a really smelly fruit. It is so smelly that you can't even take it on the subway in Singapore, but it has the consistency of butter and tastes much better than it smells. My Dad said we probably wouldn't be able to go, because my Mom hates the smell of durian. But, to my surprise, we got to go. Yay!
My Dad decided to have the Durian fudge cake and I had the Durian pizza. The Durian fudge cake was light creamy and sweet with the Durian paste and the yellow cake. The Durian pizza is like nothing I have ever had before it had a charocal dough, mozzerella and Durian paste and my Mom did not try anything because she is a hater of Durian. 
When we left the cafe and were heading to the shopping area, I saw a Ferrari! I try to take pictures of Ferrari's, corvettes, and other exotic cars whenever I see them. I took a bunch of pictures of the blue Ferrari. It was really pretty.
Then we went clothes shopping! My Mom got a scarf thingie and my Dad got 2 nice Chinese jackets (one blue and one red and yellow). We were all so hot from walking around and shopping (well my Mom and Dad were), so we went to a bar so my Mom and Dad could get some cocktails. While they were drinking their cocktails and I was drinking my ice cold water, I went on the internet. I found a mixology class in London. It is themed after potions class in Harry Potter but with drinks. It is called the Cauldron and I showed the video to my Mom and Dad and we might go when we are in London.
When my Dad and Mom were done drinking,we headed to Hawker Chan. I love Hawker Chan. One of the reasons I love it is because it is the cheapest Michelin starred restaurant in the world. Hawker Chan is known for its Chicken and rice that is $1.69 USD. We ordered chicken and rice. Actually you have to order 2 if you don't like a part of the chicken that you get. Anyway we ordered chicken and rice, chicken and noodle and pork belly. The pork belly was out of this world it was crispy and had just the right amount of balance between crispy skin and meat. The chicken and rice was incredible (as always) the chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice had a good sauce poured over it that paired beautifully with the chicken.
After we went to Hawker Chan we walked home and on our way we stopped at Bugis Centre. We purchased durian gummies, mangosteen gummies, mango gummies, salted caramel potato chips and durian cookies. I am hoping to share these goodies with the new friends that I will meet on the cruise ship.
Then we headed back to the hotel where I fell asleep almost instantly.
