We started off with some lunch at Octapas on Clarke Quay. Great views over the river & we were sat outside in the perfect position to people/boat watch. We got a couple of dishes - I highly recommend the chorizo and the tenderloin of beef. The garlic prawns were meaty, but slightly too spicy - next time I'd probably not get the "hot" version. The patatas bravas were a bit disappointing, slightly soggy & the bread basket did it's job!
Completely full, we had a wander up to Orchard Road for a browse before heading to a new bar at Clarke Quay, called Fern & Kiwi. Although it's just opened this week, you would never have guessed - the service was quick and friendly, with staff coming to take your orders and clear glasses quickly and discreetly - you never felt pestered, but you could also sit at the bar & chat with them too.
We met with a few Kiwis to watch the rugby - despite James wearing the Argentinian colours & me wearing my TOMS with an Argentinian style flag on the back - we were cheering for the All Blacks (kind of had to as the place was packed with Kiwis!) The boys tried a variety of the different beers that were on tap, while I had my first taste of vodka L&P - I'm informed that it stands for Lemon & Paeroa and it's quite a famous New Zealand mixer.
Despite some really good bar nibbles, after two rugby games, we were more than a little hungry - so we headed to my other new favourite place, Senor Taco. This is just a small stall with a handful of tables serving quesadillas, tacos and more alcohol than is possible to drink. The night passed in a blur of margarita jugs & several tacos, before we decided to create our own entertainment...in the form of dancing to this....
Expecting to be popping up on Youtube any day soon - we were being filmed by several passing people! The Gangnam Style craze has most definitely hit Singapore.
