Top five things to do in Singapore

Nab some delicious food on Boon Tat St.

Shop Orchard Rd
True shoppers, you'll need a day here. This 2.2km road is lined with luxury and high-street brands, bars and restaurants. Stay at Grand Park Orchard, around the corner from Top Shop.

Visit Gardens by the Bay
This multimillion-dollar eco garden project has 16 steel super-trees which are embedded with plants from rainforest to desert. Free light and sound show at 7.45pm and 8.45pm.

Night Safari
Kids and adults will love the Night Safari. The park opens at 7.30pm and begins with a Creatures of the Night show featuring nocturnal cats and other wildlife. Then hop on a tram and spy on the animals that come out to play.

Eat Satay
If you love peanut satay skewers then eat on Boon Tat St. Several satay huts line the street, which is closed to traffic each evening, and plastic tables and chairs dot the tarseal. Satays by the hundreds are hand cooked over coals and the smell is amazing. At 60c a stick, you'd be hard pressed to spend more than $15 on dinner.

Dempsey Hill
The former British Army barracks is now a hipster hangout with colonial-inspired bars and restaurants. Visit Chop Suey for dim sum.

Agree. A visit to Changi Point is also recommended at night. Other worthy places worth consideration includes Parliament House when in-session to witness sleeping MPs at work. Last but not least, a trip to Little India on Sat night to witness lawlessness.

Apologies. One more needed to make it 5. A ride on our MRT to witness human sardines. If lucky, experience breakdown and delay.

Thank you for sharing this with us Leongsam. I must say out of these 5 I've done only 3:

1. shopping in Orchard Road although I find shopping in Bangkok and Hong Kong is more fun and even cheaper with better service staff too;
2. Night Safari - been a few times, I thought its not bad but I prefer the Bangkok's Safari World where I could drive my own vehicle into the zoo and close up with the animals, really fun and its done in the day so can see very clearly. http://www.safariworld.com/
3. I spend a lot of time in Dempsey Hill especially the Wine Company and Long Beach restaurant I think I never fail to go there whenever I go back

Gardens by the Bay and Satay thing not been and tried.

Leongsam have yo done all these 5 before?

 

[yellowarse]

Botanic Gardens, soon to be UNESCO World Heritage site.

 

[Leongsam]

Leongsam have yo done all these 5 before?

1. Shop at Orchard Road - Only at Robinsons for clothes and at various food outlets.

2. Gardens by the Bay - Never.

3. Night Safari - Nope.

4. Eat Satay - When Satay club still existed where Durians now reside.

5. Dempsey - To report for 2.5 years NS.

No trip to SG is complete without going to oxley rd to pay respect to the founding father of SG

 

[Semaj2357]

and to share their culture, come over when the psi hits 300 and go to top of mbs, inhale deeply to smell the rosy haze, view the flyer and do the haka.
thereafter, visit thieves mkt at sungei road and buy a cushioned bicycle seat for someone and he may just reimburse your flight tickets and give you a ride home from the airport
