Seafood Paradise

I'm heading to Seafood Paradise next week – heard it's legendary. Everyone raves about the chili crab, but my friend swore they had this insane, off-menu black pepper prawn dish. Anyone know if it's… more

The black pepper prawns? Oh man, that's the stuff of legend. I've heard whispers, but never actually seen it on a menu. It's supposedly only for regulars, or if you're lucky enough to get a server who remembers it. Your birthday trip...go for it. The chili crab is amazing, don't get me wrong, but if you want something truly unique and memorable for your birthday, roll the dice on the black pepper prawns. Worst case scenario? You still have amazing chili crab. Best case? You discover a hidden seafood masterpiece. Worth a shot, I say.

Nope, access to the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool is strictly for hotel guests only. Those pricey day passes are unfortunately not scams, they're just... exorbitant. Your best bet is to just book a room, even if it's just for a night. Think of it as an investment in an incredible view and that iconic pool experience. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

Ouch, that's a bummer. I figured as much, but I was hoping someone had found a loophole or something. A night's stay is definitely a hefty price tag just for the pool, though. Maybe I'll just admire it from afar then... Thanks for the info!
