Gathering for Oktoberfest @ Oosters and it was a really hard place to find.
I always don't fancy taking public transport into Raffles place as I ALWAYS tend to get lost, no matter how much effort I put in researching for a map.
I remembered I was very lost when I was first attached to DBS @ Raffles place and I was lost for 45mins in total till I took a $5+ cab to reach the place which was very near. Imagine $2.40 boarding fees, CBD charges and peak hours? It's just a turn can???
I guess I always felt 'small' when I'm surrounded by all the tall buildings with congested human traffic. Thus, without failure, I lost my way AGAIN!
Took me 45mins to reach Oosters. I walked in circles and passed by Malacca Road, Celia Road, Chruch Street, road road road... and saw Prudential, Bank of China, 'Lau Pa Sat', almost there @ South Bridge road, China Square, Far East square and finally... Oosters!
Faint~ I almost want to give up as I'm on my 3 inch high heels and my legs feel like breaking can! Argh...!!! But, I continued as I can't find a place to rest my feet. Sad!
In the mist of searching for the place, a foreigner was also lost and approached my help to guide him to any Singtel but... I felt as lost. Got to be frank, and replied that I'm sorry, I can't help as I'm lost too.
Ha-ha! Singaporean being lost in her own country, and can't help a foreigner. He was also kind, bided goodbye and ended it with "Good Luck". Raalized that Singtel building was just behind when I lifted up my head into the sky after dinner. Zzz!
Anything, good things pays for the effort done. I got myself a good dinner for $37 by sharing most of the dishes with the rest of them :)
Oosters @ Raffles-Captial Sqaure 3
Nice place for a good, once-in-a-while dinner, or chill out place for after-work office ladies and gentlements. Restaurant was very crowded during dinner time and an advance booking would be required for any crowd with more than 4 person. Prices are averaged at $28++ for the menus and $13++ for beers before happy hours (9pm).

The Vista Bistro @ East Coast
Went to East Coast Park after dinner, with an intention to go 1-TwentySix but couldn't as it was closed for private function. Headed to The Vista Bistro instead, with live band till 10.30pm.
Prices are reasonable and almost similar to pubs.
I had the Vista Blend for $7++ and BF, with his Erdinger for $16++.
