Odeon Towers and the Pinnacle@Duxton

My dad brought us out to Hanabi Japanese Restaurant at Odeon Towers one weekend for their Japanese buffet. He had bought a voucher which gave us some discount, but even then the buffet still wasn’t worth it as the food wasn’t that great.

I liked the view there however:

I went exploring Duxton and the Pinnacle@Duxton after that. I think the fun part was getting there, as there were some interesting sights:

There was even a sign for a martial arts school, but the school doesn’t seem to be there anymore:

I think the Pinnacle@Duxton makes a really nice view from the Duxton park area:

Visitors who are approaching it from the Chinatown side must be prepared to walk though, as it took me a really long time to reach the end of the estate where the public entrance is. That my ankle hadn’t fully recovered then made things worse I think.

It’s peaceful once you reach the top though. The view of the cranes, while not the most beautiful sight to behold, was quite superb. The below picture, especially, illustrated the sheer number of containers our port deals with.

Singapore has so many tall buildings:

But what I liked were the “themes” that each block had, and the accompanying props to the theme:

The blocks itself are pretty cool:
