Singapore Travel Guide

Enough activities here to fill up your trip plans. If you really want to experience all that this island has to offer, you may have to scrape away some of your main island plans, cos this Sentosa island offers a lot to do. But for the bare minimum, please visit Universal Studios. Queue for all the rides (including the rollercoaster). Dine at one...

It is not "the end of the world", this show combining music, water jets and laser lights, but after a day strolling in the island to visit its several attractions, it is a relaxing end of the day, sitting for half an hour and watching this free event, before returning to mainland.

I dun know if its because I am a Singaporean myself,but I think USS is awesome and the rides are absolutely thrilling---at least for MOST of the rides.I would recommend u to sit The Revenge Of The Mummy as well as The Enchanted Airways-I think that's the name.I did not try the Battlestar Galactica roller coaster as when I went there,it was down...

this is really a graet place to pass your time in singapore.No need to buy just hang around .And dont forget to bargain as lot of bargaining happens around.We bot some good cloths and travell essentials with a good bargain.Also lot of food shops to satisfy the hunger and the place is crowded and always busy with all the shop and fun activities.

Had a great meal there a couple weeks ago with my wife. We had a ton of seafood for less than $100. The trick is to order several small dishes and share them. We ordered four and were stuffed...we wanted to try the crab and lobster, but decided to sample everything we could instead. Let me just say: this place did not disappoint. We had scallops,...

If you don't already know, the tastiest Singapore food and dishes are found in hawker centres in the residential areas. And Newton Hawker Centre is one of the many except that it is very well known but the food is more expensive than hawker centres visited by locals. There is also another problem. Hawker centres are not air conditioned and you...

Clarke Quay is a very famous area in Singapore , located on the side of the Singapore River. Accessible with every method of transportation, including the Clarke Quay MRT NE 5 , Buses , Taxis. Clarke Quay consists of 4 Blocks (A,B ,C,D) and The Cannery. Active at daytime ,crowded and lively during the night .Best view could be seen from the...

Singapore's Hard Rock Café is located close to the Orchard Road, in vincinity of other pubs, restaurants and bars. There's little to say about it: Live music, guitars on the wall, extroverted staff, the obligatory gif shop and prices above average. Safe place to have a nice evening with some good meals and drink – but surely the wrong place if you...

We visited the Zouk Club on 22 Feb 2014, Saturday night . This club is located behind the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel , 17 Jiak Kim Street. Arrived here by taxi ,on 10 pm, because our Singaporean friend told us that on weekends , Zouk will packed up with people ,and yes, crowds already gathered on the outside of Zouk ,Q ing in 2 lines , for...

Cheekily, but I hope helpfully, I'll put this in both KL and Singapore. While you can fly or drive between the two cities, a lower cost, less tiring option might be a long haul bus. There are budget choices or there are luxury choices - I confess I've always taken a luxury bus as it doesn't cost much more and it looks a lot more comfortable. I use...

The MRT makes travelling around Singapore very easy, convenient, cheap and efficient. We bought a 3 day tourist pass for $20 each plus a $10 refundable deposit. There are also other options. If you miss a train, then there is not long to wait for the next train. The trains can get crowded, so it is a good thing and a necessary thing that they are...

Taxis are surprisingly cheap in Singapore - they cost less than in similar cities elsewhere in the world. A word of warning, though: Don't bother with taxi ranks. They can literally take hours. There's some weirdness with the rates, which make picking up passengers from a taxi rank the last resort for any driver. They'd rather take a call and pick...

I really don’t know why some people are saying these bad things or, I’m a really lucky guy or something, because I went to Sim Lim Square and nothing bad occurs to me. Actually the opposite happened. I was looking for IP cameras for some time and making my research. Then I went to Choicecycle store and asked them as many as questions I could. Jason...

After visiting Little India area I kept walking along Serangoon road and reached Mustafa Centre , that was mentioned in my map. This is the place for souvenirs with good prices. I found led lights , fountains , magnets , t-shirts , landscapes of the east , home utilities , and Singapore flag , of course! Mustafa has three floors , with escalators....

In Chinatown there are many small shops and by change I’ve stumbled The TinTin Shop. Although the price is not cheap. I bought TinTin tee shirt and Comics. As a child growing up in Australia I used to love reading TinTin comics book, you’ll never grow too old reading TinTin. The TinTin shop is open daily. Chinatown MRT Exit A.

Singlish, quite literally, means Singapore English-- a unique blend of the languages and dialects of the diverse ethnic groups residing here. Most Singaporeans are actually capable of speaking proper English, but do not do so on a daily basis out of habbit. We do try to leave out the singlish punctuations when speaking to tourists, also known as...

Since Singapore is a Souvenir Shopper Paradise, Iget to choose on a variety of Shot glasses here since the shot glasses are another of my favorite collector fetishes when going to a place and since I did not buy a souvenir item the last time I was here in 1999, I must buy several never mind the price (I'm not a cheapskate hehehe). You can buy shot...

the Naan bread is a northern Indian food flat bread cooked in a tandoori oven that became popular in Singapore and Malaysia due to the influx of Indian Immigrants and is now available everywhere and one of my all time favorite breads ever. The typical naan bread recipe involves mixing white flour with salt, a yeast culture, and enough yogurt to...

I've been Mickied once in my life and that one time was in Singapore. I was on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the Orchard Towers (AKA 4 Floors Of Whores) in Singapore hanging out with the Thai ladies. Next thing I know I wake up 10 hours later on my ship. I slept right through my watch. Thankfully I made it through that experience with both kidneys...

Smoker out there, before you come into Singapore, there is some customs law which you might need to know about cigarettes. Our customs is very strict about bringing of tax free cigarettes into Singapore, regardless you are entering through air or sea. If you have a open packet of cigarette pack, it is most likely that the customs would allows you...

To all tourist coming to Singapore travelling by taxis. Get a receipt which has all the details of the taxi driver and vehicle number. If you have any complain, you can lodge to the company. Everyone owns a smartphone nowadays. Use Google Maps to check where you are going before entering the taxi. Taxis should not refuse any passengers once you are...

The guys initially play fair and friendly but their interest is to sell you overpriced stuff. They give false information and refuse later to refund or exchange. Kind of criminals know exactly what you want and the usual market price. Be aware that the price they tell you excludes GST until it billed. Funan Mall

Just to make sure you understand how thing work, there are 2 things you must know about Taxi Drivers. 1) They are thieving, lying bastards who can NEVER be trusted. 2). Re-read point number 1. In Singapore the taxis are heavily regulated, somewhat economical and can even produce a printed receipt instantly. In general they are more trustworthy than...

again most tour buses stop by here whether big groups or small group to encourage you to buy stuff. The store is not that large and it offers mostly perfumes and bags and shirts and other local stuffs but beware, not all they sell are original as some are imitations but they will tell you which is which (they say). don't buy anything if you are not...

when going to hot and humid Singapore. It is best to bring extra light colored t-shirts and athletic of jogging shorts rather than dark colored shirts or jeans as the dark colored shirts tend to absorb more heat rather than reflect the heat of the sun. Singapore is a tropical and humid country and it sits just accros the sea hence light colored...

It really depends on you. I always travel with a big Longchamp shoulder bag which houses all my gadgets, makeup and wallet. But most guys travel with knapsacks. Don't worry too much as Singapore is a safe country. I haven't heard of any theft or snatchers here. COMFIEST shoes you can ever find. You'll be walking all over. Bring disposable...

the best way to enjoy Singapore is to really have powerful compact ultra zoom cameras like the Nikon cool Pix 810 which has a 42X optical zoom or a Canon Powershot SX 40 with a 35X Optical zoom plus having an extra camera that is water proof and drop proof like an Olympus Tough 810 Series of a Panasonic Lumix Series. You need it to be able to zoom...

This theme park on Chinese mythology is a must visit for all visitors. Take the MRT to the Haw Par Villa station and alight. On exit you will come to the entrance of the theme park. The architecture is traditional Chinese style and entrance is free. You will see the 10 gates of hell where the wicked are tortured by the god of hell. You will also...

Changi village is a somewhat laidback place where one can escape from the virtual concrete jungle that is singapore, for a taste of what it perhaps once was when it was less developed. Don't worry, even if you are not interested in seeing a less built up side of the island, it is wonderful to simply take a walk through the village and the beaches...

Many SIngaporeans, young and old, love Pulau Ubin. It is laid-back, rustic, kampong and full of nature. There are lots to see at Pulau Ubin for the locals as well as the international traveller. - Kampong life - Village life - Wayang stage (wayangs are held in the 7th lunar month) - Sensory Trail - Biking through the island - abandoned granite...

SAFRA has 5 clubs. Mt Faber, Toa Payoh, Tampines, Yishun and Town Club. The SAFRA Mt Faber just opened on 1 Nov. This is the within walking distance from my home and work place. You will probably find me at SAFRA Mt Faber after work! SAFRA Mt Faber Gym has the usual treadmills, bicylecs, cross trainer, rower, various machines to tone up your...

What better way to get to know Singaporeans better than to participate in the annual walk organised by Singapore's daily - The New Paper. If you are here in Singapore around the month of May, you might like to walk with thousands of Singaporeans. They will also be more than happy to talk to you as you stroll along. That is if they still have the...

Sin Chew Chinese Cultural Products Supermart, in Waterloo street is where you will find the Laughing Buddha. The store stocks large quantities of Buddhas and Confucian deities, all are glittering in gold!, The "Laughing Buddha" is outside, lots of people were rubbing his tummy for luck, so I did as well, but I don't think it worked! He symbolises...

I can't say I know the exact build up of whats in the water supply but as someone above has jst said singapore needs to import most of its water where is the demestic water supply coming from...unlike paris for instance which has underground springs and some of the best i've ever tasted without the fluoride it is not the case with singapore...sure...

The Great Singapore Sale is my favorite in Singapore. It happens every May-July, every year. Shopping in Orchard rd is my favorite activity in Singapore. Another thing not to be miss in Singapore is the Songs of the Sea at Sentosa Island. http://vitzy.net/forum/Singapore-f59.html The Great Singapore Sale and the Songs of theSea at Sentosa Island...
