| | From: oycexoxo Posted: 18th of March at 12:04 pm | • Report | | First of all the Ferris Wheel has start operation. And you can expect to see the first of its kind F1 night racing in Singapore this September. Go to Zouk, Singapore's hottest club in town... While u r there, u can also try travelling and explore Malaysia... |
|  | From: Macau Grrl Posted: 25th of March at 11:06 am | • Remove | So much fun. First there's the food. You can feast on Malay, Indian, Chinese, Singaporean delights at any food court for a pittance.
There are so many new clubbing areas, like Dempsey, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay.
Not to mention Zouk, which all roads eventually lead to. They have Phuture, Velvet, the main room and of course, wine bar, where drinks are half price and there are always interesting subjects to check out.
Jealous. Boo hoo, I'm in Macau now still hunting for my own zouk. |
|  | From: Sebastian Svensson Posted: 25th of March at 5:35 pm | • Remove | Thanks guys, helpful. I am in HK again but will live in Singapore for around 2-3 month starting from this Sunday.
Zouk was quite fun actually.
Looking forward to the F1! Any good after parties that you are aware of? |

| | From: Joe Bodia Posted: 26th of August at 1:58 am | • Report | | There are lots of cool bars and places to eat in Singapore, but the booze can be pricey, so look for special offers or out of the way places, which sometimes can actually be more fun, coz there's less pressure to have fun. A good place to look for bars which have been reviewed is to check out Think Magazine, their address is http://www.think.cz |
| | From: Josephine Posted: 21st of October at 10:42 am | • Report | Lots of stuffs to do here in Singapore. You can take a ferry boat to Bintan Island for a short weekend. Cycle around Pulau Ubin and east coast. Lots of beach bars in Sentosa Island and cool new bars and clubs. Below are the following website link:

| | From: Joe Posted: 21st of October at 9:18 pm | • Report | Hey everyone. I am busy updating my COOL THINGS TO DO IN SINGAPORE list. Read through - and then add any additional. (Also, you can visit me at www.vonfeldt.blogspot.com).
Ice Cold Beer (Tiger of Course!): In my neighborhood of old Chinese Shop houses, you have to try a beer. Of course, you want to order early – or it costs $12 a beer.
Eat Dim Sum: Chinese “tim sum” is wonderful. And full of interesting surprises. Eating a typical Chinese meal “round table style” is best.
Take the MRT and Ride the busses! : They are easy, convenient and cheap.
Bicycle Pulau Ubin: Head for the island of Pulau Ubin which is a short bumboat ride from mainland.Explore the island on bicycle or on foot and be transported back in time to Singapore in the 60s. Look out for the traditional fishing huts or 'kelongs', duck and prawn farms and check out Pulau Ubin's natural haven of plants, birds and insects found in its mangrove and forest areas.
From Suntec to the underground Mall to Raffles City – a nice shopping stroll: Suntec City to enjoy the beautiful sights of the world's largest fountain, supported on four 13.8 m high bronze legs, measuring 21 m in diameter and weighing 85 tonnes.
Western Food if you must? Try Chimes. Recommended: Esmirada, Lei Gardens (for Peking Duck) or Tony Romas: CHIJMES is a prominent landmark on Stamford Road. Originally an old Catholic convent school, the chapel with its glorious stained glass windows has now been converted into a venue for special functions. CHIJMES is home to a variety of speciality restaurants.
Raffles Hotel: Ok – it is touristy – but you have to try a famous “Singapore Sling” in the Long boat bar. And afterwards, walk around the grounds.
The Quays – Boat and Clark. Walk along the river from the Fullerton: Great for night. Walk along the river and areas where Singapore first got it’s start. And be sure to take the boat ride in one of the Chinese Junks.
Changi Museum: Learn about the Japanese occupation. From the fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942 till the Japanese surrender in September 1945, life was a daily struggle against humiliation, loss of freedom, hunger and disease. Yet it was here, where conditions were at their worst, that we hear of stories that were heroic, touching, and most of all, inspirational.
Smoked, dried and shredded meats: Pop into BreadTalk for interesting local pastries. Be sure to have a floss bread. And don’t forget the barbequed meats.
Try the exotic fruits: You have to taste them! Lychee, rambutan, durian, mangosteen, papaya, mango and more.
Jurong Bird Park: The Jurong BirdPark is one of the world's largest and most impressive aviaries, and a refuge for over 8,000 birds of 600 different species from all over the world.
CHINA TOWN (See the hungry ghosts): Shop, look around and soak up the sights and sounds. It is very authentic. And great shopping opportunities!
BOTANICAL GARDENS: The Gardens epitomises the tropical island's luxuriant parks. Spread over 52 hectares and close to the centre of the city, the Gardens is a combination of untouched primary forest and specialty gardens displaying frangipanis, roses, ferns and desert plants, to name a few. The thousands of plant species here, including many rare specimens, reflect the Gardens' richness and diversity of plant life.
The present orchid enclosure has 20,000 orchid plants on display.
NIGHT ZOO / Singapore Zoological Garden: Night safari - and go into the bat cage where it is only you and the bats flying inches from your heads. And these aren't tiny fruit bats - they are the size of large owls. If you also have time – try the day zoo.Take a walk through the zoo, which employs an 'open' zoo concept of using moats and rock walls as natural barriers. The Singapore Zoological Gardens is considered one of the best in the world.
HAWKER CENTER: Newton Circus or Lau Pasat: Dine alfresco style at the adjacent Boon Tat Street, where a long line of traditional satay sellers await
Try the local foods!
TRY THE SINGAPORE FOODS: Nasi Goreng, Popiah, Otak Otak, Satay, Herbal Soup, Hainanese Chicken Rice, nearly the National Dish of Singapore. Hailing from the Chinese island of Hainan, this dish can be found in coffee shops in every street corner in Singapore. A whole chicken is poached with spring onions and ginger to create a light bouquet. The soup is used as the stock, along with fried garlic to create a fragrant chicken rice. The dish is eaten with home made chilli sauce and dark soya sauce, Indian Roti Prata, Pepper Crabs and Laksa.
TAKE A CABLE CAR / SENTOSA:
GET A HAIRCUT
Haircut - with the famous neck massage and "dry wash" - they wash your hair while you sit in the chair. Try Mexis Hair Care in Orchard Cineleisure. Ask for the owner, Nancy.
TAKASHIMAYA – LEVEL B2 food experience: Taste the exotic:
Durian, birds nest, abalone, sharks fin, pig organ soup – and so much more…
OCEAN SIDE SEAFOOD: EastCoast Seafood - where you dine on spicy Srilanka Chili and Pepper crabs, and famous "drunken prawns" - live prawns boiled in an alcohol broth
ORCHARD ROAD: Stroll the length of the famous "Orchard Road" - where you have the most condensed set of shopping malls, shops, restaurants and thousands of people.
BUBBLE TEA, Ice Cold Jasmine tea and Kaching: Try the latest fad: Menthol Bubble tea - complete with little "pearls" that you suck up through an oversize straw. Chendol is a lovely cool Indonesian dessert drink. Usually taken during or after a hot spicy meal, Chendol is a favourite with many locals. Green pea flour is coloured, cooked and passed through a special Chendol frame into a basin of cold water to form pear shaped or rod-shaped beads. The beads are placed in a glass with crushed ice, and a sweet mixture of coconut milk and Gula Melaka syrup (sugar blocks, water and pandan leaves). Chendol can be found at food centres and at various restaurants such as Tambuah Mas (Indonesian).
OLIVE RICE at Don’s Noodles: Most locals argue whether olive rice or pineapple rice is better. Both are great. I recommend the Olive Rice at one of the local Don’s Noodles
LITTLE INDIA: Lunch with your hands – see the Hindu temples – and walk around the markets
PRACTICE EATING with chop sticks – and the Singapore “fork and spoon” technique
Indonesian, Peranakan, Thai and Southeast Asian food: Noodles - noodles - noodles. Japan and China is rice. Southeast Asia is noodles. We will try Thai noodles. Singapore noodles. And Malaysian noodles. Try wonderful Peranakan food - the merge of what happened a long time ago when Portuguese settlers mingled with Malaysians
WET MARKET: Go early morning to the Tiong Bahru "wet market" - to see the real supermarket of Southeast Asia
GET A FOOT MASSAGE: It borders on painful – but it seems to cure everything!
Hike in a Rainforest – Bukit Timah Nature Reserve: Singapore is one of only two cities in the world to have a significant area of primary rainforest within its boundaries. The 164-hectare Bukit Timah Nature Reserve - just 12 kilometres from the city centre - contains more species of flora than the entire North American continent. Long-tailed macaques, flying lemurs and the seldom-seen pangolin and mouse deer are waiting to be discovered. Visitors can obtain a trail map from the Visitor Centre.
