Scenes from the Streets of Chinatown Singapore
A busy street
The past few weekend we have been heading down to Chinatown for Dim Sum these past weeks after the boys swim class. It has been a while since we headed down to Chinatown for a meal. We usually settle our craving for Dim Sum at the Old Hong Kong restaurant in Marine parade. Unfortunately since the end of last year the standard of food there has deteriorated tremendously and we had to search for a new place to patronize.
The Yum Cha restauarant at Chinatown is one of the few places that offered Dim Sum for breakfast. Many of the Chinese restaurants only open after 11am and cater only to the lunch and dinner crowd.
A statue at the Indian Temple
After our breakfast we took a walk around Chinatown to take a look at the architecture of the area. I didn’t manage to get many snapshots as it was a real challenge trying to aim with the DSLR while carrying Tiger girl in the other hand. In the end after two shots I gave up and placed the camera back in the box instead. It is really no joke trying to balance an active 13kg toddler with one hand while positing the camera with the other. Hopefully the next time we go to Chinatown Tiger girl will be more cooperative and let R carry her instead.
What have you been snapping lately?

Your photos are wonderful. I haven’t been snapping any pictures, sadly… The thought of Dim Sum sounds so good!

I’m even surprised you got to bring out the DSLR with tiger girl in tow. Hehe. The boyfriend has wanted to go food tripping in Chinatown but we have not been able to make time. Maybe next weekend.

You always post awesome photos. I have considered doing wordless Wednesday but I choose to do a photo a day monthly photo challenges. I only use my cell phone to capture photos, but I try to take photos of memories as they happen.

I love, Love, LOVE the first photo. It reminds me of the world famous Painted Ladies, those beautiful old Victorian homes painted various pastel colors. That building is gorgeous. I totally get the “Tiger girl” distraction. Keep snapping those photos! I can’t wait for more!

I seriously love all the color. I wish the buildings in the US had so much color in them.

I totally know what you mean. Today I decided to take the kids on the subway for the first time to visit a museum downtown. I tried to carry all of their coats and accessories while trying to take pics with my new DSLR. The key word being “tried.”
