We had a similar experience in Little India, whilst in search of curry for lunch, we came across some street vendors and cafes that looked just a little too much like food poisoning waiting to happen. If we were going to be around for more than a couple of days we might have tasted some of the more authentic street food, but seeing as we had another nine hour plane trip ahead, we decided to play it safe!

Our final day turned out to be rainy and hot (ie. humid!) so we stuck to the air conditioned shopping malls. A lot of the malls close to our hotel were underground and joined via underground passageways, meaning we could shop for hours without having to brave the humidity! On walking between two of these shopping malls, we discovered several art displays lining the passageways - one of which pointed out the fact that you can drive across Singapore in about 38 minutes. It was only then that we realised just how small the city is - and they have a population of over 4 million - how crazy is that?
