Resort World Singapore


I had to walk past this passageway from the basement of Resort World to the Universal Studio. The passageway looked so beautiful. I had to take a short video to show you its beauty.








I dont have the time to venture into any of the hotels cause I spend the whole day at the theme park. Perhaps next time I will dine in one of the hotels.
This brings me to the last posting of Resort World Singapore.

Resort World SIngapore - Casino

The Casino is one of the main attraction of Resort World Singapore.


The ceiling above the casino's entrance. It looked like a spider web. I wondered if it has anything to do with fengshui.


At the basement of the resort world is the carpark for cars, coaches, taxi, public bus, etc. Those who live in neighbouring country like Malaysia can visit the resort world easily because there are many different coach packages to bring them to the resort. Most visit the resort for the casinos but there are many like me who visit the theme park, shopping, hotels, etc.
Long queues of taxi waiting for customers at the resorts. You need to pay an additional $3 surcharge for the taxi.




Tourists and foreigners get to visit the Casino free of charge while Singaporeans and permanent residents need to pay a levy of $100 per day or annual fee of $2000.



A performance at the resort.

Skywatch Friday - Resort World Singapore in Sentosa

Resort World Singapore on Sentosa Island is an intergrated resort with a casino, a theme park (Universal Studio), a musuem (not open yet), a Marine Life Park which includes the world's largest oceanarium (not open yet) and a few hotels.

The Maritime Xperiential Museum will house a 360-degree multimedia theatre where visitors can trace the history of the maritime Silk Route from the 9th to the 19th century. It will become the permanent home of the Jewel of Muscat. It is set to open in 2011.

The Marine Life Park will be the world's largest oceanarium, holding more than 20 million gallons of salt water habitats. It will be home to over 700,000 fish of various sizes and colours inside a 6.6 million gallon lagoon. While originally planned to include whale sharks, the controversial plan was eventually dropped. It is set to open in late 2011

My World Tuesday - Resort World Singapore - Candy

This is the candy shop outside the Universal Studio Singapore. You dont have to pay any admission tickets to walk around this area. Beside the Candy shop, there are many restaurants, eateries, pubs, etc.

This is part of the Resort World Singapore in Sentosa.


You can take photos in here but not inside the candy shop. I thought the candies looked so real and super cute.

The prices of the candies are reasonable and affordable and there are so many different types to choose from. I bought some home too.





I thought these M&M looked so super cute.


This huge Bottle of Hershey is from another shop. You could get so many different of chocolates in here too. Of course, I had to get some chocolates too, my family's favourites. :)



Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

Universal Studio Singapore - The Lost World - Dino Soarin

It is interesting to walk around the set of The Lost World.

Amber Rock Climbing - good for visitors who love rock climbing. Scale the walls of The Lost World to explore precious stones and fossilised insects.

I cant climb anymore hahaha, so I went for the ride in these flying dinosaurs.


Children can pilot their own Pteranodon, soaring up into the sky and down into the cooling shadows. Who said this is for children...hahaha...adults enjoy them too.

Skywatch Friday - Universal Studio Singapore - The Lost World

This is the set of The Lost World in Universal Studio Singapore. I was amazed at the huge T Rex at the entrance of Jurassic Park. Good location to have your photo taken with the T Rex.





Visitors having fun playing in the fountain and taking pictures with the T Rex. They are real huge.



There is a food court at the The Lost World selling mostly Singapore's favourite local dishes, like chicken rice, bak kut teh (pork ribs soup), nasi padang (malay food), etc. It is not cheap, the chicken rice cost $7.80 per plate as compared to about $2.50 or $3.00 in a hawker centre. But there's a promotion going on at the theme park, we were given a $5 dining and $5 shopping discount voucher. So the discount vouchers helps a lot. But the promotion ends in October cause November and December is the local School Holiday so I guess they know there's a crowd coming in during these two months so there's no need for any promotion.

I had the chicken rice set that consist a plate of chicken rice, a plate of vegetables and a bowl of green bean soup for $9.80 and a cup of coke for $2.50 and I had a $5 discount voucher.

Universal Studio Singapore - The Lost World - Canopy Flyer


According to the guide booklet, one can enjoy a prehistoric bird's eye view of Jurassic Park. Oh my, I had my eyes closed, I see nothing...hahaha.

It was scary for me but luckily the ride was less than 3 mins .

My niece tricked me into taking this thrill ride, she said it is like sitting in a cable car, nothing to be afraid and I actually believed her.

This ride is only suitable for those very brave and young at heart.
