Travel Itinerary

Navigate Little India’s bustling market for South-Indian dosa, goat biryani and freshly pressed rose-milk, watching butchers and spice grinders at work.

Cruise art-deco blocks for specialty cafés: sample single-origin filter at Plain Vanilla, orange-wine at Wine & Gourmet, and kopi-croissant hybrids at a hole-in-the-wall bakery.

Pit Tian Tian’s famed chicken rice against nearby Hong Lim’s soy-braised version; finish with sugar-cane juice and a hot bowl of laksa for comparison.

Watch the Marina turn gold at dusk while nibbling sambal-glazed prawns and yuzu-pandan daiquiris beside the glowing infinity pool.

End the night with tissue-paper-thin coin prata, murtabak stuffed with otak-otak, and frothy pulled-teh served until 2 a.m. in a sleepy suburb.

Start early with coconut-rich nasi lemak, crispy ikan kuning and a stroll along the boardwalk where fishermen dock.

Walk the 2.2 km boardwalk through kelongs and mangroves, then reward yourself with iced kopi-o and kaya toast at a breezy seaside café.

Trace Peranakan shophouses, sampling Katong laksa cut-short noodles, rainbow kueh lapis and durian chendol from heritage stalls.

Conclude the foodie tour with chef Jason Tan’s Gastro-Botanica tasting: locally sourced jackfruit, herbs from the rooftop and a dessert tribute to the Singapore Sling.
