Singapore Things to do with Out of Towners

SENTOSA - playground island with some touristy attractions like Universal Studios, Aquarium, etc.
Great for beach - eat at Tanjong Beach Club.

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 (Taiwanese style, best is Mango on Mango) 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:

4^th floor Takashimaya – Teow Chow Imperial Cuisine

1^st 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.

 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.

- Beirut Grill - vegetarian moussaka amazing.

PALAU UBIN – boat ride and rental bikes to see the old Kampong village life how Singapore was some 50 years ago.

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, or day trip to Batam, INdonesia by boat to go to Tempat Senang Spa
