Singapore

I thought I was going to Singapore for beaches, food, and Raffles Hotel. I got all of those things. What I didn't expect was how emotionally affecting the trip would be. The history — particularly around Marina Bay — hit in ways that good travel sometimes does. world-class hawker food was the momen…

We chose Singapore for our honeymoon and it was perfect for us. The romantic atmosphere in Marina Bay at night, the drama of Singapore Botanic Gardens, the intimacy of small restaurants serving char kway teow — all of it added up to exactly what we were hoping for. extraordinary multicultural food …

Only had a long weekend — about 19 days — in Singapore, based in Little India. More than enough to fall for the place. Did Raffles Hotel on day one and spent the rest of the time just walking and eating. The chilli crab situation here is no joke — some of the best eating I've done anywhere. extraor…

I travel for food more than anything else, and Singapore shot straight to the top of my culinary travel list. chilli crab alone justified the flight, but that was just the beginning. The variety and quality in Sentosa is relentless — I didn't have a single disappointing meal in 13 days. Raffles Hot…

Took the family to Singapore for 15 days and it worked better than I'd hoped. The kids were fascinated by Gardens by the Bay — more than I expected from children who usually resist sightseeing. Food was manageable: even the pickiest eater in our group found things to eat, and kaya toast with soft-bo…

Singapore wasn't high on my travel list. A friend pushed me to go and I'm genuinely grateful.

This was my third visit to Singapore and I keep finding new reasons to return. This time I explored beyond Sentosa and discovered a completely different side of the country. Hawker Centre never loses its impact no matter how many times you've seen it. The food still makes me happy in ways I can't f…

I went to Singapore with modest expectations and left completely won over, largely thanks to time spent in Sentosa. The city has a pace and character that travel guides undersell. Found a great spot for kaya toast with soft-boiled eggs on day two and went back every day after that. Hawker Centre wa…

Singapore is a genuinely beautiful and interesting place. Singapore Botanic Gardens is worth every superlative thrown at it. The chilli crab is legitimately excellent. fascinating blend of cultures gave the trip real depth. What I struggled with: the tourist infrastructure around the headline sites…

First time in Singapore and I tried to approach it with open eyes rather than preconceptions. Chinatown was the base and a good one — central, manageable, and with strong food options including the best kaya toast with soft-boiled eggs I've ever had. Singapore Botanic Gardens was the big set piece a…
