Collyer Quay-- where the merlions stay

The last time we visited Singapore was 8 years ago. And even when we were there 8 years ago, we did not really get the chance to look around. This time, we were much more privileged to "tour" around Singapore.
Through the kindness of our friends and relatives, we were able to see more of Singapore. This little country has changed so much through the years. We can hardly remember places where we had been before or places that we remembered were there. For example this place is called the Collyer Quay. It has changed so much just beyond our imagination. The only thing that did not change was the humid and hot weather.
Along CQ, there were more shops and restaurants. More lands had been reclaimed from the sea, and more buildings were constructed there. There were now 2 merlions instead of one... A baby merlion and a papa merlion.
The restaurants catered more for high ended customers. The food catered there were in smaller portions and more fine dinning style. A good place to visit..yes. One should try once in a while to live the life if one can afford it.
