Brewerkz is still the Best!

Of late, craft beer is getting popular. There are more than a dozen of such breweries in town.  One of the oldest micro breweries is none other than the Brewerkz at Clark Quay. Brewerkz has been in business at Riverside Point at Clark Quay since the nineties. After all these years, it is still the best micro brewery in town in terms of quality, variety and pricing. You can get half a litre (a pint) for just $7 during happy hour.

Beer anybody?

Cycle to Marina Bay

Cycling route to Marina Bay

It is now possible to cycle to Marina Bay directly from East Coast Park without having to go through Tanjong Rhu. This is a great news to cyclists like me. This implies that the whole Gardens by the  bay, Marina South and Marina Bay is reachable via the Park Connector without having to compete with the motorized vehicles. This is a big step forward. It is one step closer to achieving the Island wide Park Connector network dream!
