As long as you have some smart-ish clothes in yr backpack, you can get a drink in the bar which has a wonderful colonial feel. Order a G&T and monkey nuts and enjoy the cool breeze from the fans. Particularly fun throwing the monkey nut shells on the floor which seems to be a bizarre custom there.

Yes, agree! The food in Singapore is great.

Ryan and I had a 2-nights transit in Singapore back in 2007, and it’s like food heaven for me there.
