WHERE I TAKE OUT OF TOWN GUESTS
CHINATOWN - Visit Sri Mariaman Hindu temple, walk around
Temple, Smith and Trenganu Street.
Look at markets/stalls, shop for touristy knick knacks, Chinese baked
goods etc.
Ice desserts (Debbie F recommendation) 67 Temple Street
Best bakery Tong Heng Confectionery 285 South Bridge Rd
(right in front of Buddha Tooth temple)
Temples - Buddha Tooth temple.
Favorite temple - the one on Telok Ayer Street.
DIM SUM - go to Yam Cha - an institution if in Chinatown but
favorite dim sum places:
4th floor Takashimaya – Teow Chow Imperial
Cuisine
1st floor Plaza singapurea – Tim Ho Wan, famous
HK place, long lines
NOODLES - go to Mr. Wong @19 Smith Street, fun to take a
photo of him stretching his handmade noodles
LITTLE INDIA -
Visit Indian Hindu temple on Serangoon, show Bangle Shop, show Mustafa,
do Henna tatoos.
INDIAN FOOD - Banana Leaf is great b/c you can eat on banana
leaves so a cultural experience.
ARAB QUARTERS - See Sultan Mosque, walk along Arab street
for shops, visit Haji Lane for more contemporary things.
PALAU UBIN – boat ride and rental bikes
LEBANESE FOOD - Beirut Grill - vegetarian moussaka amazing.
MUSEUMS - So many fantastic museums! Our favorite is Asian Civilizations
Museum. For a more unique
experience, head to the Peranakan Museum, much more unique to the Singapore
story. Afterwards, you can eat at
True Blue Cuisine, it's Peranakan food so order Rendang and pomelo salad, this
is also on Armenian Street.
TOURS - Hop on and off bus is fun, I send people on that if
I can't spend the day with them.
The Bumboat ride is an even better way to see parts of Singapore. For those with more time in Singapore,
I think there are so many choices of walking/historical/cultural tours.
MODERN - it's fun to show the CBD skyline, Merlion, Marina
Bay Sands area, Clarke Quay etc.
Walking down Orchard Road is always fun for shopping.
VIEWS – go up the Pinnacle on Duxton, you need an MRT card
and have at least 5 sgd on it to get up the turnstiles…a bit confusing how to
get up there, but ask the 7/11 guy for the right elevator
PAMPERING - Pedi/mani at LUSH in Holland village also foot
massage at the Foot Reflexology above 7/11 in Holland Village

Café Melba
There are days when we really, really want to be Easties.
And a Sunday at Café Melba might make you want to move too - this café exudes
that laidback, unperturbed cool that only East-enders seem to possess. Located
in the one and only Goodman Arts Centre, Café Melba delivers quality,
unpretentious nosh made with the freshest ingredients possible. Come on, these
guys even cure their own bacon!
While their food is top-notch, what we really adore is their
alfresco dining - the space is so cleverly designed that it manages to be cozy
and intimate, yet breezy and private all at once. They also do a mean brunch
(almost everyone's favourite meal), and guess what? Gather those tiny tots cos
they dine for free every weekday till the end of October. Melbournians, you
don't want to miss this one.
Café Melba, 90 Goodman Road, Goodman Arts Centre, Singapore

The Fabulous Baker Boy
First off, we cannot get over that name. Uh-may-zing! Some
may recognize Juwanda Hassim from the theatre scene, but if you're not familiar
with the name, you'll soon be familiar with his tasty cakes. This bakery/café
has a daily menu of both sweet and savoury treats, so if you work in the area,
we highly recommend this place for a midday snack.
We love that they use dolphin-safe tuna (we're impressed by
the consideration to detail), but we're really bowled over by the cakes here.
Spiced Apple Cake, a seriously rich salted caramel brownie, and red velvet fans
- feel free to dig in. Big plus: it's located at the charming Viridian Art
House, which is right opposite Clarke Quay, but a whole lot, how do we say,
quieter (read: cultured). And they serve all-day breakfast on Sunday!
