A Relaxing Evening at Gardens by the Bay and Satay by the Bay

 Singapore - It was one of those perfect afternoons to catch up with friends while enjoying one of Singapore's most beautiful attractions—Gardens by the Bay. We agreed to meet at around 4.00 pm, but I arrived a little earlier and took the opportunity to stroll around the gardens on my own. 

The peaceful lake reflected the surrounding greenery beautifully, and I was pleasantly surprised to spot a few wild chickens wandering freely along the pathways. It was a lovely reminder that nature continues to thrive even in the heart of our bustling city.

Once my friends arrived, we spent the next hour leisurely exploring the gardens, chatting and admiring the impressive landscape. Just as we were enjoying the walk, the skies suddenly darkened and a heavy tropical downpour began. 

Like many other visitors, we quickly made our way to the Gardens by the Bay Information Centre, where we waited patiently for the rain to ease. Thankfully, the shower didn't last too long, giving us the perfect excuse to continue our evening.

Our next stop was Satay by the Bay, another popular places for a casual hawker-style dinner with a scenic waterfront atmosphere. We ordered a generous spread to share—flavourful chicken and pork satay, two varieties of steamed dumplings, a plate of fresh vegetables, and my personal favourite, Har Cheong Kai (prawn paste fried chicken). 

The satay was tender and smoky with a rich peanut sauce, while the Har Cheong Kai was wonderfully crispy on the outside and juicy inside, packed with the unmistakable aroma of prawn paste.

After our satisfying dinner, we made our way back to catch the spectacular Garden Rhapsody Light Show beneath the iconic Supertrees. 



Watching the colourful lights dance in sync with the music was the perfect way to end a relaxing evening. With smiles on our faces and full stomachs, we boarded the MRT home, grateful for another memorable outing with good friends, good food, and one of Singapore's most iconic night-time experiences.
