Savour Singapore's Must Try Local Food
Chilli Crab
Messy and mouthwatering masterpiece that’s sweet, savory, and just the right amount of spicy. Fresh crab is stir-fried in a rich tomato-chili sauce that’s thickened with egg for a silky finish. Despite the name, it’s not fiery hot — just enough heat to keep things exciting.
Best enjoyed with steamed mantou buns to soak up every drop of that addictive sauce, it’s a must-try for seafood lovers and a proud symbol of Singapore’s culinary creativity.
Kaya Toast
Classic singaporean snack made with crispy toasted bread slathered in kaya. A sweet, creamy jam made from coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and fragrant pandan leaves — and paired with a generous slab of cold butter. It’s often served with soft-boiled eggs seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper, plus a cup of local kopi (coffee) or teh (tea) for the full experience.
Laksa
Spicy, aromatic noodle soup that’s a true fusion of Chinese and Malay culinary traditions. In Singapore, the most popular version is Katong Laksa, known for its rich coconut-based broth, thick rice noodles, and toppings like prawns, fishcake, and cockles. The broth is infused with a fragrant blend of spices — think lemongrass, galangal, and dried shrimp — creating a creamy, savory base with just the right kick of heat.
Your Gateway to Singapore's Best Kept Secrets
Kampong Glam
Where tradition meets trend. Once the royal seat of Malay sultans, this historic district now pulses with creative energy, colorful street art, and indie boutiques. Anchored by the majestic Sultan Mosque with its golden dome, the area is a living tribute to Singapore’s Malay-Muslim heritage.
Wander down Haji Lane for quirky shops and murals, explore Arab Street for textiles and Middle Eastern eats, or dive into the arts at Gelam Gallery and Aliwal Arts Centre. Whether you're sipping Turkish coffee, customizing a perfume at Sifr Aromatics, or snapping photos of vibrant shophouses, Kampong Glam offers a sensory feast that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Gardens By The Bay
Futuristic oasis where nature meets innovation. Nestled in the heart of Marina Bay, this 105-hectare urban park features towering Supertrees, misty conservatories, and lush waterfront gardens. The Cloud Forest enchants with its indoor waterfall and tropical mountain landscape, while the Flower Dome showcases exotic blooms from around the world in the world’s largest glass greenhouse.
By night, the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show transforms the Supertree Grove into a dazzling spectacle. Whether you're strolling along the OCBC Skyway, exploring themed gardens, or simply soaking in skyline views, Gardens by the Bay offers a magical escape that blends sustainability, design, and natural beauty

Merlion Park
Home to Singapore’s mythical mascot The Merlion, a creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish. Located near Marina Bay, this waterfront park offers stunning views of the city skyline and is a favorite spot for both tourists and locals. The Merlion symbolizes Singapore’s origins as a fishing village (the fish tail) and its name “Singapura,” meaning Lion City (the lion head).
Standing at 8.6 meters tall, the main Merlion statue spouts water into the bay, making it a perfect backdrop for selfies and sunset shots. A smaller Merlion cub nearby adds charm to the scene. Whether you’re strolling along the promenade, catching the Marina Bay light show, or hopping on a river cruise, Merlion Park is a must-visit for anyone exploring the heart of Singapore.
Culture Trails Worth Wandering
Little India
Sensory feast of sights, sounds, and flavors, a neighborhood where heritage and hustle intertwine. Stroll along Serangoon Road and you’ll find ornate Hindu temples, bustling wet markets, and shops overflowing with spices, textiles, and gold jewelry. The air is perfumed with jasmine garlands and sizzling street food, while murals and rainbow-hued shophouses add a splash of artistry to every corner.
Don’t miss the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, the colorful House of Tan Teng Niah, and the immersive Indian Heritage Centre, each offering a glimpse into Singapore’s rich Indian roots. Whether you're here for a festival, a feast, or a photo op, Little India is a cultural gem that pulses with life.
Chinatown
Vibrant mix of old and new heritage shophouses, temples, and street markets meet trendy cafés and art galleries. Once a landing point for Chinese immigrants, it still echoes with stories of resilience and community.

Don’t miss the hawker stalls serving local favorites like soy sauce chicken and char kway teow.

Fort Canning
Perched on a hill once feared as Bukit Larangan (“Forbidden Hill”), Fort Canning Park is more than a tranquil escape. It’s a place where centuries of secrets linger beneath the trees. From ancient Malay royalty to British war bunkers, this green oasis whispers tales of power, loss, and the supernatural.
Legends speak of royal spirits guarding sacred grounds, and wartime echoes still stir in the shadows of the Battlebox, a WWII bunker buried deep beneath the hill.
