More information on Bridgid's

The largest of the waterfront developments, Clarke Quay was named for the second governor of Singapore, Sir Andrew Clarke. In the 1880s, a pineapple cannery, iron foundry, and numerous warehouses made this area bustle. Today, with 60 restored warehouses hosting restaurants and a shopping section known as Clarke Quay Factory Stores, the Quay still hops. River House, formerly the home of a towkay (company president), occupies the oldest building. In the evenings you can find the Satay Club here, a spot where satay sellers gather to sell the juicy little Malay meat kabobs dipped in yummy peanut chili sauce. Get up early on Sunday, forgo the comics section, and take in the flea market, which opens at 9am and lasts all day. You'll find lots of bargains on unusual finds.Also here, G-Max Reverse Bungy (3E River Valley Rd.; tel. 65/6338-1146; www.gmax.co.nz) will strap you and two buddies into a cage and fling you around at the end of giant bungee cords for only S$35 (US$22/£12) each. You'll go up 60m (197 ft.) high at 200kmph (124 mph). Woo! Stop by during weekdays from 3pm to 1am, and on weekends from noon until late.
