Staying on in Singapore/Vi bliver længere i Singapore

Today was supposed to be our last day in Singapore. Fortunately we have been able to extend our stay until Friday. YES!  We are taking a break from sight seeing and are going to focus on family, friends and cocktails on the 24 th. floor.

I dag skulle have været vores sidste dag i Singapore. Heldigvis kunne vi forlænge vores ophold til på fredag. JA! Vi holder en pause fra "sight-seeing" og besøger i stedet for familie, venner og cocktailbaren på d. 24 etage.

More panda time at the River Safari/Mere pandatid på River Safari

There are red pandas and giant pandas. We are mad about both pandas.

Der er de røde pandaer og der er kæmpe pandaer. Vi er tossede med begge pandaer.

Amazon River Quest at River Safari, Singapore/Amazon River Quest på River Safari, Singapore

We made it to the River Safari and we booked two boat rides on the Amazon River Quest. Although we could not spot the maned wolf, the boat rides were still a success

Vi nåede River Safari og vi bestilte 2 bådture på The Amazon River Quest. Turen var en sucess selvom vi ikke kunne se mankeulven.

There was time for one more trip to the zoo and one more behind the scenes tour with our favorite guides, Christopher and Shawal.

Food bite - getting lucky at Lucky Plaza, Singapore/Mad nyt - held i Lucky Plaza, Singapore

I love chinese food, especially the trinity of rice - chicken rice, duck rice and pork rice. At Lucky Plaza's Alison Eating House I found some excellent duck rice and pork rice. Rice cooked in broth, succulent meat, excellent sauce and sharp chilli paste.

Jeg elsker kinesisk mad, særlig den treenigheden af ris - kyllingeris, anderis og svineris. På Lucky Plaza, hos Alison Eating House fandte jeg fremragende anderis og svineris. Risen kogt i bouillon, saftig kød, lækker sovs og skarp chilli pasta.

The quick bar, where you can order and eat at the bar or take away.

Den hurtige bar, hvor du kan bestille og spise ved baren eller tage med hjem.

Meat, meat, meat.

Kød, kød, kød.

Excuse, the shaky picture - the smells were just amazing.

Undskyld, billedet er dårligt - duften var bare vidunderlig.

I love bubblegum high heels and jelly sandals/Jeg elsker tyggegummi sko og gele sandaler

The boys were at the Singapore Zoo and I had time to hunt for shoes on Orchard Road, Singapore. I made some great finds - the not so cheap and the cheap.

Drengene var i Singapore Zoo og jeg havde tid til at gå på sko jagt på Orchard Road, Singapore. Jeg gør et par fantastiske fund - det ikke så billige og det billige.

The adorable and super comfortable bubblegum shoes. Honestly they smell like pink bubblegum!

Foodie retrospective - inflight Copenhagen to Singapore

We are on the third and final week of our holiday and we are back in Singapore.  Time for a little foodie retrospective, which I will be serving in little bites for the next couple of days. First bite - what was on the menu on business class from Copenhagen to Singapore.

My pre-dinner drink - Bloody Mary, cold and spicy 

 

A prelude with Satay - grilled chicken with spicy peanut sauce. The first taste of the east.

A colourful starter - a roulade of smoke salmon in cream cheese. The Pouilly Fuisse was lovely.

They had run out of the thai dish so I had the chefs choice - veal fillet filled with chanterelles. Altitude is a killing on flavours and the veal suffered the cost.

Didn't do the cheeses. I had a lovely cup of brazillian coffee, rich dark grapes and a chocolate raspberry cake. Sweets hold their flavour better in the air.

A light breakfast of fruit, croissant and juice before landing in Singapore.

Tomorrow - back to Singapore/I morgen - tilbage til Singapore

We have had a great time at Langkawi. The hotel was up to standard with gracious service at the Meritus Club. Langkawi gave us her best weather and some wonderful encounters with animals. Last but not least the Langkawi sunset. Yes! its yet another picture of the sunset. I LOVE SUNSETS.

Vi har haft en rigtig god tur på Langkawi. Hotellet var op til standarden med venlige service på Meritus Klubben. Langkawi gav os hendes bedste vejr og nogle vidunderlige oplevelser med dyr. Sidste med ikke mindste den Langkawi solnedgang. Ja! endnu et billede af solnedgangen. JEG ELSKER SOLNEDGANGE.

Langkawi Wildlife Park@2014 - LIKE/SYNES OM

The ALT team decided to do LWP and it was well worth the drive across the island. Great variety of animals and great animal feeding.

ALT holdet besluttede sig for at besøge LWP and det var køreturen på tværs af øen værd. Alletiders udvalg af dyr og alletiders mulig for at fordre dyr

 

One of our favorite animals - the mousedeer.

Et af vores yndlings dyr  - mus hjorte

Nice to have a python to pet.

Dejligt at kunne klappe en pyton.

Creatures on Pantai Cenang@Pelangi/Dyr på Cenang strand@Pelangi

After our morning trip to the mangrove, we went hunting in the afternoon on the beach at the Pelangi Beach Resort. Conditions were great - cool after a tremendous shower and the tide was still out.

Efter vores morgentur til mangroveskoven, tog vi på jagt om eftermiddagen på stranden ved Pelangi Beach Resort. Betingelserne var gode - kølige efter et kæmpe regnskyl og tidvandet var stadig ude.

We are going to try and catch something with this net, bought at a local mini market.

Vi skal prøve at fange noget med dette net, som er købt hos en lokal købmand.

Ta...da...we caught a crab!

Ta...da...vi fangede en krabbe!

We also found this great starfish, which in the process of regrowing one of its arms.

Vi fandt også denne utrolige søstjerne, som er i gang med at gro en ny arm.

Of course we released them aferwards.

Selvfølgelig sattte vi dem fri bagefter

Goodbye, little crab.

Farvel, lille krabbe.

Get better soon, starfish

God bedring, søstjerne

We also had a chance to say goodbye to our lunch guest - the local cat.

Vi fik også lejlighed til at sige farvel til vores forkost gæst - den lokale kat.

The end of yet a another ALT experience day.

Slut på endnu en ALT experience dag.
