Jon, thanks for the suggestions.
A friend suggested lunch at the top of the MBS, we will definitely do that. The Raffles is a must see and maybe a bite to eat.
Recommendations while in Singapore Oct. 27-30
I know many of the members here have traveled extensively, so I’m hoping I’ll get some recommendations: tours, restaurants and sites to visit Feel free to PM me as well. Thanks in advance! ...
Yes, the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands has great views.
We were there in July. My daughter and I went to the part of the rooftop open to the public (as opposed to the part reserved for the hotel), while my wife went off with a Singaporean school friend to see the amazing orchids at the botanical garden (which ...

Night Safari
Partying at the beach in Sentosa. Krispy Kreme donuts. Sim Lim if you love cameras, computers, diy, etc. The airport itself is fun. Sunday brunch at Raffles.
Thx Goh, guess they no longer sell fun computer bits, great deals on camera stuff, mass assortment of DIY / parts, Fluke/etc EE tools, etc.
i know the Adelphi in Singapore was home for luxury home audio long ago, but last time i was there it was mainly a place for adult massages. SG does change, thx Goh for the heads up as loved Sim Lim for EE toys/tools.
Maybe they still do...

Have so many suggestions!
So here are a few 1. Yixing Xuan Teahouse (great place to drink some tea and they are super nice) 2. Peranakan Museum 3. Hawker centers (Newton is super famous now but it is the one I have been to that was my fav) 4. The many watch shops around Singaapore...
some of my fav things to do in SG
the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel. chicken rice at Chatterbox. Nyonya food at Violet Oon. the Lange flagship should have the two new LEs to view by Friday 😊
You can consider also Botanical Garden. Free entry from 6 am and it is second largest urban jungle park in the world. Very calming and beautiful, great history also.
They have beautiful Orchid Garden. You can enter via Botanical Garden MRT station or Napier MRT
Some of my fav places in my hometown:
1. Western ridges (including kent ridge park, hort park) 2. Dempsey 3. National orchid garden 4. Tiong Bahru 5. Hawker centres (Newton is probably the most accessible buy there are so many others) 6. Little India 7. Kampong Glam/ Sultan Mosque area I'll p...
Thought of another one
Robertson Quay in the evening, followed by a walk along the sg river towards the esplanade
The Katong area.
If you want to get the feel of a nice neighborhood, got to the Katong area. There’s an amazing Indian temple on Ceylon Rd, beautiful conservation shop houses along Koon Seng Rd, and more delicious local eateries that I could name.
