Singapore Travel - Hidden Secrets

[baccaratboy]

If you're going to Singapore this JULY, I suggest you visit SENTOSA. For shopping (sale season) try the Orchard road and Bugis for electronics.

 

If you're going around town, it's cheaper to ride the bus than the train or taxi. Just ask locals or filipino residing there for the right bus no. so that you won't get lost in the city.

.......orchard road is really great...and depending on your budget, you are sure to find what you need! theres an awesome mall beside the hyatt, dang, i forgot the name, but its about 5 floors of cool fashion finds that are affordable! for tianggee style, try lucky plaza, but not on a sunday, too many people!

 

isetan has a great foodcourt, just take the escalator from the street, medyo nakakalula ha!

for mid range to high shopping, check out ngee ann city, huge mall, good stuff, mahal nga lang

 

i love dinner at NO SIGNBOARD, at esplanade, yummy! but make reservations ha!

clark quay and boat quay is where to go at night, alcohol is expensive as hell but the clubs are way cool, ministry of sound is there, and a relatively new one called CLINIC...wow on design

 

late at night, there is a strip where they serve the yummiest chicken rice, sa sidewalk lang...just ask the cab drivers, they know where it is....

 

and for late night, 24 hour shopping, go to little india, there is a huuuugggeee store there which has everything every manufactured on the planet!

All all Mtc buddies, I am a local singaporean but have lived in Manila for the past 4 years. From my point of view, the best local food and cheapest is neither in Orchard, Tanglin...etc it is usually in the neighcourhood mall such as Tampines Mall, Northpoint, West Mall... all this are situated at the outskirt of Singapore...

 

Train ride from Orchard to any of this places are very very accessible. In Singapore, most of the neighbourhood malls are located right at the doorstep of MRT (Mass Rapid Transit), parang LRT and MRT in Manila. And the fare is around $2-$3 each ride.

 

As for chicken rice, try out Boon Tiong Kee at Balestier road or any other branch, best chicken rice in town. Local delicacy are located in the neighbourhood area too. Its call the coffee shop or hawker centre.

try nyo rin Hooters, near Clarke Quay. some of the waitress/girls though wear push-up bras to

maintain the Hooters girl image. :thumbsupsmiley: went there on my last visit to Sing, their

spicy chicken wings were good.

 

I've been to a number of Hooters outlets in the U.S. and Costa Rica. The waitresses here are, sad to say, below par. But the chicken wings really are good!!! The taste has been kinda consistent wherever I went.

puro pinay na nga hooters girls sa singapore but they won't talk to you in our native tongue, singapore accent na sila tapos mas type nila yung mga caucasian na customers

[hotchic_primrose]

i stayed in singapore for 2 months rin... leme say that the girls in HOOTERS... well.. haha... anyways i stayed in sunglade condo in serangoon.

 

Boon Tiong Kee at Balestier <-- the best yan

 

i also tried some hongkong style chicken noodles somewhere in clarke quay, i forgot lng ung name.. hehe sowee...

 

you also have to check out esplanade mall... sa labas lng nun nandun na si merlion...

 

mag try ka na rin nung local icecream nila... $1 lng naman un eh... hehe

[G T]

better tasting and cheap food or makan can be found in the local kopitiam or hawker centers.

i recommend you try evertop boneless hainanese chcken rice at clementi avenue 2 and fried hokkien mee (its like pansit guisado) in food republic in wisma atria.

 

if youre a tech junkie, try to schedule your trip during electronics shows (there is one every quarter) so that you'll get good buys. if not, then the best places to go are sim lim square in bugis or funan IT mall near cityhall mrt.

 

nice places to visit are sentosa (you can take different modes of transport going here like bus, lrt - sentosa express@vivocity, taxi,mrt, cable car or even walking!) , singapore zoo and night safari (beside each other so it will be convenient for you), esplanade (durian-like dome) which is close to the merlion.if you still have time, you can also visit jurong bird park, sungei buloh wetland reserves and singapore botanical gardens.

there are a lot of public basketball courts, normally in the community centers or near the hdb blocks.

as for watching movies, i suggest cathay cineleisure in orchard or moviehouses in vivocity. just take the mrt and these places are just a few minutes walk from the station.

[gl0w_1n_th3_dark]

went to SG two weeks ago...

 

stayed at the InnCrowd Backpackers Hostel - what an experience... parang United Nations Big Brother House... pero ok naman, got to meet a lot of peeps... di naman business trip so ok lang kahit hindi hotel... S$18/night :cool:

 

basta, the best ang transport system ng SG, the MRT and buses are very very reliable... :thumbsupsmiley:

 

you'd always wonder, bakit ang pinoy kapag nasa ibang bansa disiplinado, pero kapag nasa pinas di magawang umayos :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

bad trip lang ongoing yung makeover ni merlion for their national day on 9-Aug...

 

looking forward on going back...
