Exploration: Coney Island

A part of me feels so liberated. It is as though I have finally got a life. :) Since the Hubs was also free, we finally or maybe more like I finally decided to let him have his way and do something more strenuous and sporty. And off we went to Coney Island. If you are Singaporean, you probably would have ventured to Coney Island by now. Otherwise, you really also a bit no-life like me.

We did read a bit of influencers' guide before making our way down that day. But annoyingly, I can't seem to find all the nice photo spots. And so, we just roamed around and made do with what we found. The cycling route is quite straight-forward so I am pretty sure whatever scenic spots  (i.e. Secret Haw Par Villa) must be quite off the beaten track.

During the last few days, it was raining cats and dogs. I did feel a bit like it is God's plan for me to be there - fabulous hair, fine weather, cute bike, cheap food. :D We went on a weekday to attempt to beat the crowd. We intended to have our meal at Punggol Settlement. But dang, everything looked close. Heng, we managed to find food at Fusion Kitchen and Bar. And you know what, there was 1-for-1 too. In addition, we also got a free singing session, wow!

Because it was the weekday, there was an extra hour free for the 2-hours bicycle rental. In total, I only took about 2.5 hours but that was very, very leisure. Hehe. You probably can do it faster if you don't stop for photos. There isn't much rustic looking bicycles like mine, so go early! And I am so happy my lounge top from Coralist Swimwear looked pretty dope in this pairing. (Will be doing another separate post on their collection, so keep a lookout if you are missing the LOTD already.)

We did a whole complete loop so we also got to explore the Lorong Halus Wetland and Punggol Waterway. My overall feel is that this is quite a good area to unplug from the bustling city. It can be quite a good retirement area. But I definitely don't want my house to be here for now, it is so darn far from town and basically anything!

By the way for dinner plans, avoid Punngol East Container Park. We went there thinking it was cool and all. But the variety of food selection was so little. It is just western food and more western food. And the sales people were all kinda of pushy. I don't really like the vibe so I grumbled and left. It would have been perfect if it wasn't my crappy experience at Punngol East Container Park. I am having a lot more life lately, so there will be more posts on interesting places.
