Marina Barrage - Boat Hoist facility

Recently I was at Marina Barrage, Singapore and got a chance to see the boat hoisting facility here. Boat hoisting happens on request and is not a regular feature at the barrage.

You too can find information on Boat hoisting at http://www.pub.gov.sg/Marina/Pages/images/Guide_to_use_Boat_Hoist.pdf

Here is my video on boat hoisting.

Vegetarian food - Roma's Deli

Its been quite some time since we started this ritual of visiting Roma's Deli in Shaw Towers in Beach Road, every time we go see an Indian movie in the building's Bombay Talkies / Jade Cinema.

Though it says its an Italian Vegetarian Bistro, the outlet offers a variety of mock meat which is, typical to Chinese vegetarian cuisine. However, if this small cultural flavor is removed or overlooked, its soups, salads, pastas and pizzas are absolutely delightful to any vegetarian. All dishes are served with no onion and garlic.

Our favourite was and is its Mushroom soup and bread. No need for any reservation. However during the weekends and that too on the first and second days of a new Indian movie release, watch out for crowds!
