Tel3portation is about visiting the stations of TEL 3. Meaning: Stevens, Napier, Boulevard, Orchard, Great World, Havelock, Outram Park, Maxwell, Shenton Way, Marina Bay, Marina South, Gardens by the Bay.
Great World City, Food Court on the top floor. Had some calamansi and chicken rice. You can also have food at Tanglin Mall or ION. Maybe even Zion/Maxwell/Amoy Street food centres. I think we bought drinks at Maxwell, but I can't remember. WATER IS SO HARD TO FIND IN GBB. Like we had to make a BIG detour just to fill up our water.
The stations were very empty, probably because they were just a few weeks old at that point. We visited the Botanic Gardens, Zion Food Centre, Ann Siang Hill Park and Marina One. I think the most frustrating part was the ending at Gardens by the Bay. Tell me, who's idea was it to have the station all the way at the Marina Barrage side of the park? It was a long and boring walk through some service vehicle route.
It's quite easy to navigate, so we didn't end up using Google Maps at all. Just using the maps located at the MRT stations was enough. As for the GBB portion, just go into the garden. Don't be like us and go through the service route. The garden is not small at all, so might as well enjoy it. Else, you'll have this Donovan complaining about the long service route.
