Time of Visit - September
Transportation - MTR , Taxi - very accessible. MTR shuts down at 11 p.m. Try getting a taxi number to contact, because after clubbing late in the night, the taxis just refuse to take you. You could be waiting for more than an hour.
Places to Eat:
Thai - Jim Thompson, Dempsey Hill, Renn thai - Clarke Quay ( Both restaurants have a separate vegetarian menu)
Mexican -Margaritas Dempsey Hill (honestly, I felt the place was over-rated)
Continental -P.S. Cafe- Must go there for desserts - huge servings. Must go the dempsey hill one for the view.
Italian - Trattoria - Good meal deals, Marche ( love the restaurant - favorite)
Quick Snack to go - Pretzels ( Aunt Annie)
Lebanese - Shirraz mezzah
Places to eat at night which are open till late - Riverside food court.
You could also visit holland village
Chocoholics: Ladure, Royce,Max Brenner
Clubs:
Pangea -one of the fancy clubs to hit it on a saturday night
Avolon - very fancy also!!
1 Altitude - amazing view of the city ( my personal fav)
Kudeta - must go there on wednesdays. its pretty buzzing through the week though. Again an amazing vie of the city.
Clarke Quay, Boat quay, Robertson quay - all these places are lined with lot of bars and clubs.
New Asia Bar - didnt get the time to go there but have heard good reviews on it.
Tanjong Beach Club at Sentosa ( a must visit on a sunday, i didnt have the time to go on a sunday, however did go there during the week... if you are vegeterian its going to be really tough to find anything to eat... and they have a pool which you can use while at the restaurant)
Shopping:
Malls- Vivo City, Bugiz Junction, Ayon Mall, 313, Wisma Atria, Plaza Singapura
Local Brands to look for : Dressing Lolita (313), BYSI, Rare Attitude, Yin Yang, Out of the box (technological funky stuff), Daiso (like a dollar shop), Camomilla (bags, though i think it is a italian brand)
Lovisa (accessories), JOOP (clothes, accessories), TYPO ( very cool stationery), Rubi ( cheap deals on bags and footwear), Kitschen
Mustafa - for indians , currency exchange, chocolates, gadgets, watches, etc.
Do not visit anchor point (outlet mall) - its pointless!
Touristy things to do:
LOTS!!!, but this wasn't my first time to Singapore, I had already been to most of the touristic places before and I am not a big fan of making an agenda for sightseeing!!
But what I did do this is I went to "Gardens By the Bay" - gorgeous, but Id suggest that you should go there late evening so you can see it by the day and lit up by the night and I think there is a laser show also.
Marina Bay Sands Bldg- definitely go to the top floor for the pool and the club.
Sentosa
Harbour front - could dine there and see the other side which is the Sentosa Island.
NOT TO DO - if you've been to other universal studios or amusement parks and are looking forward for some real adrenaline rush, singapore universal studios is NOT the place to go. With the exception of transformers ride everything else was so childish. And also, bad luck, two of their only good roller coasters were shut when I went there. I was really disappointed.
And finally its of course the MERLION that you ought'a see!
This is how I spent a week in Singapore. Time flies!
