 Esplanade aka "Durian" by imstress
The Esplanade - Theatres on the bay building has a nickname which is "Durian" (King of the fruits). It is suppose to look like the a microphone.
The arts land food lover will love this place. It also houses many restaurants and the glutton bay where they serve all the local hawker fares is just next to it.
Look out for the "I WAS HERE" and take a picture ;p Leave a Comment

The "thorny" roofs of the buildings resemble the thorns of a popular local seasonal fruit called "durian". Hence it has been fondly called "Durian".
Even if you are not going to see a concert or recital, it is a great place to walk along the river promenade to see across the Fullerton and Merlion and city skyscrapper skyline.
At night, the place has an special glow about it.

The name of the building is pronounced "esplan-ade" like "lemonaide", not "espla-nahd".
Often there is outdoor music being played between the Esplanade exit and the river. If you look closely toward the central business district, you will see the Fullerton Hotel (with it's columns) and the Merlion statue. Consider walking toward those sites from the Esplanade. Leave a Comment

Esplanade & Merlion are beautiful by night.
Take a look at the pic and you will agree.
You can take a nice stroll from the Esplanade to Fullerton Hotel. Hunt for the mini-merlion. Leave a Comment

This is a new theatre and concert house. it is located between the business and entertainment district on the one side and the old city on the other, at the point where the Singapore River flows into the open sea.
The building itself looks like a giant fly's eye or to me, it looks like a much-loved fruit in singapore - durian. Leave a Comment
