Nov 13- On Saturday morning, we headed for Le Cordon Bleu, which is a cooking school with its origins in French cooking. It is a culinary school (you learn full course restaurant cooking, including pastry making) with about 1,200 students. Students pay about USD38K - 42K for their education here, which is for Bachelor's degree. This morning, we were fortunate enough to chance upon a cooking competition, between 2 lecturers and their respective group of students. It was a competition which was open to viewing by the public. You could tell the students were tense, as they did not pay much attention to the public.
And this is me with my Gap cap which I bought yesterday. As usual the sun was very hot, with hardly any clouds in the sky.
For some reason, we visited another premium/ factory outlet place. Didn't buy anything this time (I tried looking for some lady's bags at Fossil, but I found out the bags didn't have a lot of storage space, though they looked big from the outside). Lunch was at a food court at the premium outlet (see photo above): fried rice, with broccoli with beef, and cheese wonton. The wonton's filling was cheese, not minced pork and shrimp, yucks...! Wasn't really looking out to eat rice, but when I saw the fried rice at the Chinese stall, I thought, hmm yum yum, and ordered it. Taste was not bad (except for the cheese wonton, which is disappointing).
After lunch, we visited Nickelodeon Suites Resort, which was a resort with characters from the Nickelodeon cartoon channel, including Dora, Jimmy Neutron, Rugrats and...
... Spongebob Squarepants!
But this kind of place... I think the adults are all very bored. Here are some bored adults lying on their deck chairs beside the pool.
We continued on to Disney Downtown, which is basically like a Clarke Quay developed by Disney. It had a river next to it, and shops lining all along the river. Here I am in front of a Lego shop. Transformer figure behind made entirely of Lego.
Some of the Lego creations on display.
And this dragon in the water was also made of Lego! Amazing.
Our last stop was at an old fashioned looking hotel in the Port Orleans area. We had another long day- we started from 9am and ended back at our hotel around 8.30pm. Slept soundly after that.
