Started our day at Clark’s Quay.  Very quiet in the morning.  Then there he is!  Our walk comes across a man selling our ice cream sandwich.  Could it be the same guy?  He has been selling them for 27 years.  It could very well be.  He looks the same from what I remember, but has expanded to having a cart with an umbrella, not just the milk crate table.  Amazingly, the price is the same, a dollar for a slab of ice cream between either to wafers, or an additional 20 cents if you want it with a slice of bread.  He has also expanded his flavour selection from just vanilla and chocolate, to about eight choices.  It is wonderful.  Singapore is complete now.  He is not overly friendly, but seems to smile when 30 Asian tourist flock to his cart.  We vow to return later in the day.  Then off to Little India.  Picture India, but clean and with pleasant smells of food.  Not the urine everywhere wonderland we visited years ago.  Lunch was very good, and Cindy picks up some fabric.  We then grab the subway to Chinatown.  It is a sensory overload, as are most Chinese shops.  Cindy tracks down Hawker Chan’s, a little restaurant that has earned a Michelin Star.  For under $15, we have lunch at one of the top restaurants in Singapore.  We feel that if this place is worthy of a Michelin Star, our ice cream guy should definitely get one as well.  With that in mind, we make our way back to the ice cream sandwich guy and have one more.  Still delicious.  A walk to the waterfront gets us in place to see the laser show from the other side of the bay tonight.  Although the lasers in the mist are not visible, the lighting of the Sands Bay mall and hotel are great.  Another fantastic day.  Feel we could have easily spent another couple of days in Singapore as there is so much to do.
