The last hurrah!

Today we headed back to Gardens by the Bay as I really wanted to go on the autorider. It’s a 6 seater fully automatic driverless vehicle that takes you on a short tour of the gardens. Watching all the safety features (such as slowing when it detects someone or something 1.4m away from the vehicle and ringing a bell when it turns a corner) was pretty cool. I think it’s the worlds first driverless vehicle being used to transport passengers ($5 each). We then went through the cloud forest and the flower domes before catching the MRT to Rochor/Little India for some roti prata and curry. We had two rotis, one chicken curry and one murtabak (filled roti with egg, onion and chicken) for $10 and two calamansi lime juices for $2.50ish. The stall we planned to go to was shut so I had to choose another - the chicken in the curry was still on the bone but so tender. The curry itself was quite liquidy (common here) and was spicy and delicious. I really like the curry sauces here, totally different to home. We then got the MRT back to Orchard where we had an iced milo and egg tart snack (free, we used vouchers included with our hotel stay) before walking back to the hotel. After an afternoon rest we headed out for dinner to Wisma Atria shopping centre. We shared a laksa and tried some Otah otah ($7.50 for both). Then B had some pau and I got us some Kueh Tutu, a Singaporean sweetish steamed cake, filled with a coconut or peanut filling (5 for $3.50). The process of watching these be made was amazing. We then wondered back to the hotel and packed our bags! We are off home tomorrow. We’ve loved exploring Singapore and trying many bucket list foods.
