Heading to Singapore in a few weeks! any recommendations to see/do/eat? thanks!

Just check out Food Street. Literally called that. Lots of choices and a good vibe.

For sure Food Street. Visit Raffles for a treat

Jacqui Raffles and the “original” Singapore Sling!

Orchard street, it’s beautiful. Santosa island

Gaylang for Chilli
with Nosign Board Restaurant,
Hainan Chicken Rice
Frog Porridge

Marina Bay Sands is pricey but worth the stay. Gardens by the Bay, Clark Quay, Orchard Road and Merlion Park. Chili crab and oatmeal prawn in Bei Sheng is a must try (Sembawang). Roti prata in Casuarina as well.

Top of the World Bar

Find that food stall with the Michelin star; wish I could remember exactly where it is, the food was spectacular.

There is a YouTube channel for DancingBacon. She is based in Singapore so there may be some suggestions

Guided “Battlebox” tour

Clark Quay is a fun walk and lots of good eating/people watching spots major hotel bars and anything exotic like roof top bars are very expensive like $20,CDN for a beer,

Not sure if it’s still there - lived in Singapore 20 years ago- but you should go for seafood at the East Coast Seafood Centre. Chili crab. Pepper crab. Delish! And definitely try the chicken rice. That was my favourite.

Oh and the Night Safari at the Zoo is amazing - I brought all my visitors there.

Night Safari. Something to add to your MUST SEE list.

Mike do we need to book tickets in advance?

Michelle ... I was there a few years ago and we bought tickets online in the morning. The mini-bus will pick you up from your hotel late evening. Yes... it is at night... and it is really worth the drive

Sammy’s curry …. All Dempsey hill are for food and heritage …. Little India …. Singapore orchid gardens in Botanic Gardens… East Coast lagoon food village for great dinner… Joo Chiat heritage area … that’s a few recommendations… just came back a week ago

Shireen

Raffles for afternoon tea. I’m sure it’s still going! Dress code is strict wife had shorts on and we had to rebook for the next day although that was around 25 years ago.

Happy hour on the top floor of the Sheraton

Gardens By The Bay$$$, Sentosa (Island) Go to the island by cable car.$$$ You get an amazing view. While there be sure to see the Wings Of Time show$$$. Incredible.Some incredible beaches there: Palawan,Siloso,Tanjong and Universal Studios$$$ which we didnt do but it's an option if you're into it.

Din Tai Fung — v best xiao long bao. There are several in Singapore, so they’re hard to miss…which doesn’t mean they taste like they’re production-line made. In fact every Din Tai Fung has kitchens that are visible to customers, to watch the well orchestrated chaos there. You can find DTF in Malaysia, Thailand, China (even though it’s Taiwanese) +++ and…in the US. Look forward to them someday opening a restaurant in YVR. *i have no business connection to DTF. This review is from a mighty satisfied customer.

We take special weekend trips to Seattle from van isl just for DTF. First time was Singapore now I’m hooked.

Great! That’s on my list of to-dos to-go to’s as well. Three DTFs there I think!

Yes one downtown one at the university village and one in Bellevue. Been to the one down town and Bellevue a couple times. Since covid we have not been able to go and enjoy the best dumplings ever. My dream would be to open one in Vancouver. I guarantee it would be very successful. Also been to the one in Tokyo but got take out and when we got outside we then realized the take out in Japan was frozen so you eat it when you got home. We were disappointed.

I can understand how that would have been super disappointing. Frozen takeaway

The view from the top of Marina Bay Sands is worth the stop. As is the amazing Gardens by the Bay nearby below

And if youre up for an island adventure Tioman island (Malaysia) is not very far away…and beautiful! Well worth it if you have the time. Malaysia is one bridge away — literally.

Singapore is small you should be able to fit everything in! Get to the zoo I loved that and all the little pockets.

ps.. just beware with opening time, they only open for 2.5hrs daily (yes, 2.5hrs only). They usually sold out and that's all for the day, so come earlier if you planning to try this.

I went to the Zoo really beautiful. They have a night safari.

There is so much to see there. Amazing cheap food. Universal Studio with little wait time. Zoo is definitely a thing I do every time I go back to visit family. If you like dancing, the clubs are open till 7 am.
