Gardens by the Bay - Oh! Supertrees!

Chinese Garden in Heritage Gardens

It was a brief stop over at the Gardens by the Bay without plans to visit the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest yet.

I had thought never be fascinated by any concrete steel 'trees' but here I am, standing in awe of the towering Supertrees which were lavishly covered by plants and flowering climbers! Despite being a man-made garden, it made us proud of the clever development of this good 101 hectares land - not every acres of space were well-decorated but given time, we believe the plants shall mature superbly to grace the landscape.

If i had wishes for the garden, i wish we had our mediocre yet majestic Raintrees to shield away the blazing day sun! Looking skywards, air spaces looked somewhat bare without clouding from natural forest green.

And the 'Satay by the Bay' eatery could be the icing on the cake when it opens later this year, that's is, if its food offering stays 'locally hawker', tasty and affordable like our all-time popular tourist hawker centre - East Coast Lagoon Food Centre. Then we could truly manifest our unique hawker culture, an important part of Singaporeans lifestyle.
