Yesterday, at 3.18 pm the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s second Integrated Resort (IR) was opened. As with IRs, the main attraction is the casino. Seeing an opportunity, I decided to walk to the IR as my lunch time exercise. From my office you get there by going through the Promenade Station of the Circle Line and emerging at the junction of Raffles Blvd and Temasek Ave. Then I crossed the Helix, a pedestrian bridge, so called for obvious reason. Though not fully completed, the IR is an impressive edifice to gambling. No doubt it will be a big success given the propensity for humans to take on Lady Luck. Took a peek in the shopping hall and came across things to come when the IR is fully completed.
Back at Suntec City I decided to have a light lunch. So I bought a Vietnamese roll (not fried) and a dripped Vietnamese ice coffee. The roll was refreshing with the taste coming mainly from the sauce. It was a sweetish brown concoction (which I couldn’t identify) with some crush peanut thrown in. The coffee was strong, packing a good coffee wallop despite the ice. Not insipid like Starbuck.
