As one of the world’s leading culinary destinations, Singapore has every conceivable cuisine, from local fares at hawker centres to fine dining restaurants. It is a city where Michelin stars are awarded to humble food stalls and restaurants alike. Chan Hon Meng’s Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle in Chinatown was awarded one of the elusive stars for its $2.50 plate of chicken rice. At the other end of the spectrum, dine at Osia, the first Australian cuisine-focused restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star. Located at the nearby Resorts World Sentosa, you can also drop by Tanjong Beach Club for a cocktail or two. Leading celebrity chefs Tetsuya Wakuda, Emmanuel Stroobant, Gordon Ramsay and Wolfgang Puck all have restaurants throughout the city central – so there are no excuses not to fulfil your culinary cravings.
After a satisfying meal, why not walk it off at the city’s renowned nightlife areas – Boat Quay and Clarke Quay. If you prefer to go off the beaten track, head down to Arab Street where you will find Blu Jazz for a night of revelry or join the after-work crowd at any of their watering holes, such as The Exchange, Drinks & Co. and Wine Connection. If ‘up’ is where you would like to be, CÉ LA VI at Marina Bay Sands, LeVeL33 at MBFC and 1-Altitude at Raffles Place all offer some of the best views of the city.
