Bugis Village / Pasir Ris Beach Park

Bugis Village is a fun place to spend an afternoon people watching, snacking and shopping for trinkets. I always manage to find something interesting here. Last weekend and this weekend there is a dumpling festival. Who doesn't love dumplings?

This guy is new from the last time I was here.

There are food stalls on either side of the street with tables and umbrellas for shade. The trees lining the street keeps it much cooler here, nice place to stop for a treat.

Buying dumplings for later.

Flower stalls. I saw people were buying small bunches and bringing them to the temple across the street. 

Kwan Im temple 

These stores sell dried goods, mushrooms, shrimp, chilies, etc.

  

Quite a few psychics in Bugis Village, here is one.

Sri Krishnan temple

More dried goods.

There are always people at this stall standing around watching music videos and listening to music. CD's and DVD's for sale here, not the typical top 40 though - at least for me ;) 

This is a giant tent/building with fresh whole fruits or fresh fruit juices, snacks, clothes, trinkets, shoes, backpacks, etc. Big enough you can easily get lost in here. 

I went to Pasir Ris Beach Park earlier this week, here are a few shots that turned out pretty good.

Not the beach but a waterway off the beach going into the mangroves.

He is hard to see but there is a pretty big owl in the center of the picture. Someone on a bike pointed him out to us, we wouldn't have seen him otherwise. 

Very small beach but beautiful palm trees, nice breeze and a very nice park. Not a cloud in the sky!

These coconuts fell and are sprouting new trees.

Gorgeous!

Kids on school holiday, this really looks like fun!
