This has got to be one of the best airports in the world. Efficient, free wifi, butterfly gardens, botanical gardens, koi fish, and more and more.
The Butterfly Garden is great to visit if you're transmitting or have time to kill before your flight.
Home to Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken (as featured by Anthony Bourdain) and also Zhen Zhen Porridge.
As featured by Anthony Bourdain, the hainanese chicken rice is great. Is there better? Probably. Is there cheaper? Yes. But is there anything bad about this one? No.
Famous for their wanton noodles, and super spicy chilli, and their chilli was super spicy!
Compared to the other malls on Orchard, this one is a little bit cheap and nasty. Also full of Filipino maids on Sundays.
It's like visiting a night club in the middle of the day, with their dim lighting, loud music and perfume throughout the whole store.
When you're desperate for a beer, and have nothing but money and time to burn.
Originally used as market (Lau Pa Sat means 'old market' in Hokkien), this wrought-iron canopy was freighted out from Glasgow in 1894.
Fantastic aquarium, with some mesmerising displays. There something so calming about watching there little fish swim by.
Nice little bar just off Orchard. Great to get out of the heat for a beer, or starting the night.
One of five official Merlions in Singapore. The national icon of Singapore, a lion head on a fish body, representing the origins of a fishing town, and its original name Singapura (lion city).
Their signature dish is the xiao long baos, which have various options including with truffle oil. But to be honest, all of their dishes are good.
Loved the laksa here. Creamy from the evaporated coconut milk, and just the right amount of spicy.
KIDS TIP: bring a change of clothes and let the kids run through the shooting water to cool down.
Grab a drink at Ku De Ta, have a dip in the infinity pool, or just enjoy some great views of Singapore from the top of the 56th floor.
One of many from the chain around Singapore, with kaya toast, mee rebus and other local delights (but at a tourist price)
The Nespresso machine in each of the rooms is a really nice touch. #coffee
If you're planning to go to more than 1 museum, consider getting a 3 day pass for around $20 which will give you access to all 5 city museums.
Salted egg pork ribs, dou miao and Lala were fantastic. Queue Long during peak hours but fast turnover. Also love the marmite chicken which is uncommon. Best Zi char in Orchard

The chee cheng fun is really well made, eat immediately after freshly made for the best taste.
$2.80 for small bowl, $3.30 for large. 50 cents if you want extra items. highly recommended. must try.
flavorful and rich tasting rice. stop wasting your time reading reviews and get a plate already.
Their appams here are probably the best in Singapore, in terms of consistency & fluffiness. Enjoyed it plain, with egg or butter

Set up by two-star Michelin chef Xavier Le Henaff to debunk the notion French food must be expensive, this unpretentious stall is a gem - great food, desserts and wine in a coffee shop environment.
Recommended for their chilli crab, and fried mantou - one of the best and original in Singapore since 1956.
