Suffocation unable to find shisha in Singapore, unlike my home town in Penang, i launched a island wide search for a cheap hit. Well you can always go to Clark Quay where they have shisha at any of the MIddle Eastern restraunts there, set you back SGD 25 a hit.
For those of you who doesnt know, i personally think shisha is a great way to get high, once mixed with beer or any type of alcohol. *tip* Take a deep breath, hold, take a shot of alcohol, and exhale.... repeat for results.
So ok, i took the MRT to BUGIS- cost me SGD 1.50 fr Bueno Vista. Fr BUGIS, walk towards Raffles Hospital, and if it is n your left, then you are facing North Bridge Rd. Walk straight, you will see 2 nice alleys on the right(Bali Lane, Haji Lane) before Arab St (3rd road to the right). Take a stroll in to them and you will find some really nice restored geniously decorated with some out of this word creativity and grafiti. There are some cafes, pubs, and boutiques, as well as a kick boxing studio to my surprise there. what i like most about the entire layout is that the buildings are all mined up in a very alley close like position, and with all the decos around, gives me a feeling like im in a mini fashion town o something.
Arab St, was just the next road down, where it wasnt what i expected, I mean i was expecting to be over whelmed by arabs, none was in sight. I mean ...ok there was a few...(countable) walking around. ..
Theres plenty of cloth, cotton, fabric, shops around, with ample supply of tailors hanging around each corner. :( no shisha stick for sale!
There also carpets, decorations, and some souvenirs available. I turned in to Baghdad st where things started to get more colourfull, theres restraunts, and gift shops as well as ...i dont know what you call these shops...those that sell everything from socks to ...shampoo to kites. YOu know those multi purpose shops.
Then BINGO, there was some really nice cafes at the corner and restraunts where you can get nice western, middle eastern food as well as what i was looking for shisha!
SGD 20. hahaha saved 5 SGD in the end! oh yeah ..theres also a really nice mosque (Sultans MOsque) there, where you can take pictures. I think the area, would be really nice to walk in the evenings - around 5-7pm, when the muslims break -fast(preparing for Hari Raya-Malay New YEar), as there will be lots of foodstuff and goodies sold there
