Singapore Travel - Hidden Secrets

Got a chance to stay at Singapore Grand Pacific Hotel. While it is a nice place to stay for couples, it's not for the solo traveler (unless you tried to "Call a friend" haha). But the place was nice, and you have privacy and a big bed. It also lets you bring their mobile phone out while you travel, and it is near the Bugis Marketplace.

 

Nice place, maybe next time though I will try one of those hostels in Chinatown.

Wag ka sa Lucky Plaza.

Doble mga presyo dun to take advantage of the ofws from the Phils and Indonesia.

 

duty free is a good option.

At the time, I think it cost me less than 15k for 3 days and 2 nights. But that was November 2016.

thanks sa trip bro. May nakita kasi ako sa fb di ko lang nasave. Yung mura lahat ng paninda parang 1 price lang

[glut_func]

actually kung souvenirs lang habol mo pwde naman sa lucky plaza tulad ng mga keychains, shirts,etc. Kahit sa bugis meron din kung willing ka magtravel dun. Mga tipong 10 per shirt ang mabibili mo. Ang dapat mo iwasan sa lucky plaza is yung pagbili ng gadgets kasi mga hustler yung iba dun, pati sim lim wag na wag ka bibili din dun lalo na't turista ka.

[Mad Damian]

Oo nga, dun ako nakabili ng mumurahing pasalubong bago ako bumalik.

Dani pang choice sa mga hawkers sa 2nd flr ng center at sa Smith St

[Sir Galahad®]

Well our friend suggested pag chocolates daw sa may mall sa Jurong East. Passed by Chinatown as my friends stayed in a Hostel there one time. When I go back I will try to check the area again

[Mad Damian]

magkano ba isang pack of salted egg chips/fish skin ng Irvins?

 

binebenta sa Lucky Mall ng mga stalls for SG$12/pk.

 

kumuha ko ng 1/2 dozen dahil pressed for time na.

[smyts]

Pasalubong? sa Bugis ka pumunta...

Magkakaroon na ng Irvins Salted egg chips sa pilipinas,

If travelling alone, and if your goal is to maximie time and funds. I recommend staying in a pod hotel. It has the facilities for sleeping in and keeping your stuff. The objective is to enjoy life outside of the room anyway, to explore Singapore off the bed.

 

The particular capsule hotel I stayed in is The Pod in Kampong Glam. I do recommend it. The bed has wifi, tv, headset, etc. It's amply sized and clean. It's near to everywhere, as most things seem in Singapore. But to give you a bester idea, here are the distances to places of interest.

3 km to Orchard Road (shopping)

3 km to Marina Bay Sands / Garden (shopping, leisure, casino)

10 km or 18 minutes to Sentosa (leisure, theme parks, shopping)

less than 1 km to Bugis Junction (shopping)

5 km to China Town (food, shopping)

1.5 km to Mustafa (24-hour budget shopping)

2.6 km to Clark Quay (food, leisure, shopping)

[Sir Galahad®]

Ahahahaha, you mean Salted Egg Yolk Potato Chips. Yun kasi yung una naming natikman na ganyan. Tapos madalas pang sold out. Nung naglabasan na yung mga bago parang hindi pareho lasa eh.

[Papa Popoy]

Ano ba meron sa irvins salted egg yolk chicken?

 

Potato chips sya na masarap... pinipilahan kasi ung mga store, umaga pa lng sold out na kasi limited lang ang quantity. Same supply kahit na mataas ang demand. So far 3 ang alam kong store d2 sa SG - harbourfront, plaza singapura at jurong east (westgate yta ung name ng mall)

someone recommended rin yung salted egg potato chips sa mga 7-11 outlets.

di ko pa natry. any feedback?

[Papa Popoy]

Bakit ang mahal ng salted egg chips? dito sa moa sa chai chips nasa Php289 ung maliit na supot tapos ung malaki nasa Php389? grabe siya gravy siya.

 

Baka dahil mataas ang demand, pero mababa ang supply.

Tama ba mga economists?! Haha

[alton barroquillo]

The best place sa akin ang universal studios at sentosa for a great vacation.

[Papa Popoy]

Halos lahat ng pagkain sa Sg overpriced naman sa tourists kasi mataas talaga cost of living sa Sg

Need some help please!! Looking for a cheap hotel to stay for 3 nights in Singapore preferably near Bugis. TIA

[blue+george]

hi ana bitchesa,

 

if cheap hotel is what you're looking for i suggest hotel 81 (like a motel) around $100 a night. other hotels are higher (130~300~1000) a night. hotel 81 is everywhere.

 

if you can't afford it, try to look for transient rooms, or dorm rooms, its a hell cheaper, like $25-50 a night.

 

another advice, dont sleep near bugis, its damn expensive. look for rooms outside the city. dont worry, MRT's buses and taxis are good. of course you just need to spend a bit more time during your commute

 

last advice - i'd rather sleep in condo's (find one in google) costs around $50 a night, hell better than motels, and cheaper than hotels. maybe can chat with some other pinoys in Singapore.

 

my 2 cents pm me for more info

Suggestions ko:

Hotel 81 - less than 100sgd per night

V hotel - tabi ng lavender mrt stn

Hotel Boss - malapit sa v hotel pero mas mura

Hostels - cheaper options 20sgd-50sgd per night kaya lang pwedeng common room for ladies and gentlemen

Condo - 15sgd-30sgd per night

Last option - tabi na lang tayo sa kwarto ko 😂✌️ Joke lang po 😄🍻
