The Benjamin Sheares Bridge has a dedicated cycling path, thankfully! It's pretty well-lit too, so you shouldn't have any trouble with visibility. Late-night teh tarik near there... hmm, might be a bit of a hunt. Your best bet is probably heading towards the HarbourFront area afterwards; there are usually a few hawker centers still open late with plenty of teh tarik stalls. Enjoy the ride!

It's pricey, yeah, no doubt. But the chili crab at Seafood Paradise is genuinely excellent. Not "best ever" levels of hyperbole, but definitely a cut above the average tourist trap fare. The sauce is what makes it – incredibly rich and flavorful. I'd recommend sharing a portion, it's enough for two, even with other dishes. You won't be disappointed, but manage your expectations – it's not a budget meal.

Totally agree. The price tag is a bit terrifying, I’ll admit. But if the sauce is that good, sharing is definitely the way to go. Maybe we can get some other stuff to balance it out – something lighter, to avoid a chilli crab coma? Worth it for a special occasion, I reckon.
