2023 Guide to the Perfect Singapore Trip

If you’re planning a trip to Singapore any time soon, here’s the perfect nuanced guide for you! After meticulously exploring over 100 spots, this article lists down the crème de la crème—each recommendation bears our discerning seal of approval.

Back in the ’90s, thriving Singapore humorously demanded the five C’s for survival: cash, credit card, car, condo, and country club membership. Fast forward to the Crazy Rich Asians era, showcasing Singapore’s newfound opulence, with the sixth C taking center stage: confidence.

Embracing their identity as a disciplined society, Singaporeans now flaunt it, turning their home into a haven of stability amid global uncertainty. The city-state attracts investors, tech startups, and wealthy individuals, fostering pride in local culture.

A new wave of hawker stalls crafts traditional Chinese, Indian, Peranakan, and Malay cuisine with a fine-dining touch. Public housing projects, resembling architectural marvels, dot the landscape, while green spaces evolve to combat the city’s heat and address climate change.

Whether you have two nights or a fortnight, here’s your cheat sheet for an unforgettable visit:

Raffles Singapore

While tourists flock to the Long Bar for the iconic Singapore Sling, locals indulge in northern Indian delights at the Tiffin Room. Opt for a night in the Palm Court Suites for a serene escape overlooking Beach Road. Rates from US$725.

The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore

Weathering the test of time, this waterfront hotel offers spacious deluxe rooms with Jacuzzi tubs, a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. Rates from US$350.

Life in Singapore revolves around gastronomy, with hawker centers buzzing from 7 a.m., offering tapao options for those on the go. After leisurely lunches, a kopi break in the mid-afternoon, and fancy happy hours, the day concludes with supper at 10 p.m.

For an authentic taste of Singapore, explore Bedok’s hawker centers, savoring steamed rice cakes at Bedok Chwee Kueh or indulging in stir-fried kway teow noodles. Another idea: Immerse yourself in the vibrant dining scene at “KEK,” savoring the must-try chilli crab and Moonlight Harfun amid the lively ambiance. Or rather, embark on an afternoon tea journey along Jalan Merah Saga, experiencing unique delights like crolls and kouign amann pinwheels.

This diverse culinary scene captures the essence of Singapore’s cultural tapestry, from traditional hawker fare to innovative in-home dining experiences. In a city where stability meets excitement, Singapore beckons with open arms, inviting you to explore its rich tapestry in just two nights or make it a leisurely two-week affair.
