SLURP
Kickstart your morning with an aromatic cup of kopi at Good Morning Nanyang Cafe. Freshly roasted robusta beans are brewed in “socks” (pictured above) before being served.
133 New Bridge Road, Chinatown Point

EAT
No breakfast is complete without traditional kaya toast and soft-boiled eggs. Chin Mee Chin Confectionery is one of the few old-school kopitiams left that serve this delicious combo.
204 East Coast Road

WANDER
Skip Orchard Road, the luxury-lined boulevard, and head straight to Ann Siang Hill, where you’ll find quirky boutiques, hole-in-the-wall cafes and trendy watering holes.
Ann Siang Hill

RECHARGE
Tucked behind lush greenery, this relaxed and quiet P.S. Cafe location is the perfect spot for afternoon tea. Portions come supersized so do split their flavorful Double Chocolate Blackout Cake between two.
45 Ann Siang Road

SHOP
Once a deserted street of pre-war shophouses, Haji Lane is now a short, colorful strip home to local designers and young entrepreneurs. Browse funky designs, handcrafted greeting cards, customisable bikes and other cool knick knacks.
Haji Lane

DRINK
Bar Stories is a specialty cocktail bar that boasts no menus. Using fresh produce, each delicious drink is specially crafted to suit individual palates. Place an order by telling your server if you’d fancy something “strong and citrus-y” or “sweet and fresh”, then sit back, check out the furniture (which can all be purchased) and wait for your taste buds be delighted.
57A Haji Lane

ADMIRE
Pop by the iconic Esplanade to view the unique architecture that resembles a durian, a popular local fruit. Stroll by the waterfront and take in the stunning views of Singapore: Fullerton Bay Hotel, Singapore Flyer, Merlion, Marina Bay Sands and more.
1 Esplanade Drive

SEE
Gardens by the Bay is a stunning park spanning 101 hectares of land. Explore 7 different ‘gardens’ in the Flower Dome or check out the epiphytes-cladded Cloud Forest.

TASTE
If there’s one dish that’s synonymous with Singaporean food, it’s Hainanese chicken rice. Grab dinner at Wee Nam Kee to taste their fragrant, buttery rice and delicious chicken. There’s always a line but it’s worth the wait.
101 Thomson Road

INDULGE
Don’t forget to save room for the popular ice kachang, a thirst-quenching concoction made of shaved ice, red beans, jelly and other mouthwatering ingredients. Looks questionable but tastes heavenly.
