We had a legal conference at work with a few overseas visitors, including the General Counsel of the whole company! As well as the various seminars we had at the office, we also squeezed in some sightseeing. Hot on the heels of a few drinks at the Fullerton Bay Hotel rooftop bar, this included a superb dinner at LeVeL 33 at Marina Bay Financial Centre, which has spectacular views across the Marina Reservoir.
I learned that the Marina Barrage was built to dam the reservoir, so that it will eventually desalinate, thus providing a new freshwater reserve. Coincidentally, the following day we chartered a tour bus around the city, ending up at the Marina Barrage itself. Surrounded by the grounds of the new botanic gardens (a work in progress), there is a small rooftop park here, and more wonderful views, this time back into the city.
Dinner that night was at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant at Riverside Point (opposite Clarke Quay). There was a rather terrific prawn fried rice, and the back pepper and chili crabs were very popular too (especially with Han and Clarence). We topped it all off with an evening of karaoke at Lunar.
