If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you’ll know I’m a city-addict who’s obsessed with chasing sky-high views of these urban jungles, especially at night. (Brownie points if it’s an outdoor viewing spot – shoutout to Taipei, Shanghai and Hong Kong). Singapore was no exception and I was delighted to find out … More Singapore: Free sky-high city views at ION Orchard
Like pretty much anywhere in Asia, you’ll never be short of insanely delicious things to eat in Singapore. Whichever meat (or fish) you prefer, you must try fresh satay. Once you’ve eaten it fresh, the packaged sauce from the supermarket back home will never taste the same. Satay originated from Indonesia but the question of … More Where to find the best satay in Singapore!
If you read my post from last week about the amazing Gardens by the Bay, you’ll have already seen a tonne of photos. I talked about the Skyway walk you can do around the top of the ‘super trees’ but I didn’t actually show any photos from it! I’ve just found a bunch that I … More Singapore: Gardens by the Bay ‘Skyway’ night photos
Singapore Zoo frequently ranks as one of the best zoos in the world (if not the best) and it’s not hard to see why. As an adult I’ve become more questioning and uncomfortable about the general concept of zoos and keeping animals in captive but, as zoos go, Singapore is outstanding when it comes to … More Singapore Zoo – I got bitten by a giraffe!
Without a doubt the thing I was looking forward to doing most in Singapore was visiting Gardens by the Bay. I had been to Singapore once before, in 2011, when the Gardens hadn’t even opened yet. A lot had changed for Singapore in six years! But it was nice to see some familiar places I … More Singapore: Gardens by the Bay
I’m a bit sad that I didn’t spend more time in Kuala Lumpur’s Little India so I wanted to make up for it and see plenty of Singapore’s Little India. Perhaps it was the time of day I went (about an hour before sunset) but there was hardly anyone there compared to KL’s Little India! … More Little India: Singapore’s most colourful place?
Arguably the most iconic place in Singapore is it’s Marina Bay. It’s a large area (1.4 square miles) that surrounds part of the Singapore River and is adjacent to Singapore’s Central Business District. In Marina Bay you can find a variety of developments; sports stadium, shopping centre, residential property, the stunning Gardens by the Bay … More Singapore’s iconic architecture: Marina Bay
Singapore may be a tiny and, to some, an unassuming country but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of beautiful nooks and crannies to explore and things to do. One of those places is Clarke Quay. Along the Singapore River sits Clarke Quay; a collection of multicoloured Disneyland-esque shopfronts that house a variety of restaurants, bars, … More Clarke Quay: Singapore’s rainbow ‘village’
Visiting Singapore again after six years away gave me a big case of deja vu, but in a good way. Plenty had changed but plenty had not. Some of the big things and places I didn’t remember without looking at my old holiday photos, and then small things and places I remembered so perfectly and … More Singapore: A colourful wander through Chinatown
There’s been six years between my first trip to Singapore and my most recent trip. I can’t believe it’s been that long but it definitely didn’t feel it! However, Singapore is such a fast-developing city so there were plenty of noticeable changes. When I first went, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel had only just opened … More Long time no see, Singapore!
