Singapore 1st Formula 1 Grand Prix

It had been an exciting week for most Singaporean last weekend, as Singapore is holding hers 1st F1 Grand Prix and also the World's 1st F1 night race. The race took place at the central business district at Downtown Marina.

Weeks before the race, roads for the circuits were closed to prepare for the event. This caused some inconvenience to the people working around the circuit, as they need to make some changes to the way they normally travel to work. But I think, most of them were happy for the Nation for such a great event and they don't mind the inconvenience.

The most important item for the success of the night race was the lighting. The circuits are to be lighted near to day lights. Lots of high power lightings were fixed on the temporary metal supports around the circuits.

The circuits for the Singapore Grand Prix pass through some historic and modern landmark of Singapore. They include the City Hall, The Padang, Anderson Bridge, Esplanade Theatres On the Bay and the newly completed Singapore Flyer.

Bliss Restaurant @ Punggol Park

Bliss, a waterfront restaurant & bar is located in Punggol Park. You can cloose to either sit indoor with air-con or outdoor right next to the pond. My personal view is that, if you are here for dining, it is better to sit in-door as it is more comfortable. But if you are here for drink and chit-chat with friends, it is more relaxing to sit right next to the pond.

I found the food here value for money, the taste is good and most of the western main course here cost less than S$20. On the left is lamb shrank and the right is beef steak with cheese. I had the beef steak and found that the portion is reasonably filling for me. I also like the side combination of corn cob, mushroom and onion. They simply go well with the steak.

If you are someone with sweet teeth, you can also try the dessert here. I had ordered penguin waffle with ice-cream. The taste was ok, not much surprises. But I think the kids will like it due to the penguin shape waffle. Noted they have a durian dessert, maybe will give it a try in my next visit.

Understand that the restaurant also served a wide ranges of wine and beer. For those who just want to drink with their friends, you can try their fingerfood.
