View from the rooftop

On our May visit to Singapore we discovered La Terrazza, a cool rooftop bar in Ann Siang Hill, in the Chinatown district. We caught a taxi across town and found the bar pleasantly less populated than last time.

Long Island Iced Teas were in order, some tapas, and sundown over the great city whilst listening to lounge beats.

We walked the crooked pavements, checking out the myriad restaurants, all quirky and well attended. We couldn't get in to a few places, but came across 'Platters', a fabulous restaurant serving share food on wooden platters. The wine list was inspiring and the food, truly delicious. One of the platters was called 'The Boner' and held pork, lamb and the softest and tastiest beef, all still on the bone. It was excellent.

It took some time to flag down a taxi, but finally back at the hotel we shared a bottle of fabulous champagne by the pool, with a view of the city skyline.
