At the entrance, Sang Nila Utama will be no stranger. Kids knew how the Prince first spotted a lion and that was how Singapore (Singapura) came to be known as “Lion city”.

Orchids everywhere, commemorating Singapore’s 50th Golden Jubilee. We recommend visiting the Flower Dome during the day to better appreciate the pretty Orchids.

Special SG50 performance at the Supertree grove (Garden Rhapsody). This is our favourite segment of the evening, with mesmerising songs. Look at the crowd around the trees. Besides a light show, we get to sing along favourites like “Home, We Are Singapore etc”. This performance is free.

We end the evening with a splendid buffet. At Satay by the Bay, we were feasting on satay, fried Hokkien mee, and yummy seafood from Wholly Crab (owner Felicia Chin).
