If You Only Have Half A Day In Singapore, Here Are 10 Places You Must Visit

So you’ve just landed in Singapore for a short weekend getaway.

Splendid choice. Singapore’s a melting pot of cultures so there’re plenty of options to choose from when it comes to food and places to try and visit.

We’ve come up with a list of must-visit places in Singapore regardless of the length of your visit in Asia’s Little Red Dot.

1. Changi Village

Hidden away in the eastern coast of Singapore, on the northern point of Changi, is Changi Village.

[caption id="attachment_34374" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Image Credit: Wikipedia[/caption]

It is situated far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, past the industrial buildings and next to the airport runway. The main reason people even come to Changi Village is for the food, and Pokemon Go. Rare Pokemon spawn here apparently.

The place is hard to get to unless you’re driving and it might seem a bit too out of the way to travel to, but the place possesses a quiet charm.

And that’s not all, it’s also a favourite haunt of NSFs who are posted to Pulau Tekong. After all, the SAF Ferry Terminal is just 5 minutes away.

If you’re there, be sure to head to Changi Village Hawker Centre. Don’t miss the International Muslim Nasi Lemak, easily the most iconic dish of Changi Village.

[caption id="attachment_34375" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Image Credit: Pinterest[/caption]

Also, hit up 89.7 Supper Club. No it’s not a radio station, but a popular 24-hour halal supper spot. Heads up, they serve really good halal dim sum.

That’s not all, Changi Point Ferry Terminal is also the connecting point for a ferry to Pulau Ubin.

So if you’re looking for some greenery and wilderness, it’s just a boat ride away.

2. Gardens By The Bay

The Gardens By The Bay is one of Singapore’s most popular attractions, and for good reason too. Opened in 2012, the sprawling park is home to some of the world’s most unique plants and flowers.

The Flower Dome is a marvel. Designed to resemble a giant seashell, this cool conservatory houses exotic plants from over 5 different continents.

The Cloud Forest is another spectacle, featuring unique tropical plants as well as the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at 35 metres. The journey through the conservatory will take you through the mist-filled Cloud Walk and you can even marvel at the views from up top on the Treetop Walk.

[caption id="attachment_34373" align="aligncenter" width="6000"] Image Credit: Unsplash[/caption]

That’s not all, step into the SuperTree Grove and stroll through the towering Supertrees. It’s almost as if you’re in the world of Pandora from James Cameron’s Avatar.

[caption id="attachment_34372" align="aligncenter" width="4016"] Image Credit: Unsplash[/caption]

The Gardens By The Bay is easily one of the most prominent attraction in Singapore, opposite the iconic Singapore city skyline.

Don’t forget your camera.

4. Lau Pa Sat

Lau Pa Sat, also known as Telok Ayer Market, is one of Singapore’s most iconic buildings in the Central Business District.

[caption id="attachment_34381" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]
Image Credit: Wikipedia[/caption]

If you’re wondering, ‘Lau Pa Sat’ is literally Hokkien for ‘Old Market’ and it was named so because it used to be a wet market when it was still situated in its original location by the waterfront, before it was moved into the financial district.

It was gazetted as a national monument on 6 July 1973 and converted into the hawker centre that it is today.

The hawker centre is a collection of the best local food. You’ll typically find tourists and executives from neighbouring MNCs having a pint here after work, with an accompanying platter of satay.

The Lau Pa Sat hawker centre also has a 24-hour Cheers convenience store, a shoe repair shop, a laundry store and a tailor.

Your Singapore experience isn’t complete without having at least one meal here.

Lau Pa Sat
Address: 18 Raffles Quay, Singapore 048582
Opening Hours: Mon: 10am – 11pm, Tue, Thu – Sun: 10am – 10pm, Wed: 10.30am – 9.30pm

5. Marina Bay Sands SkyPark

In the past decade, the most prominent building to rise in the Singapore city skyline is Marina Bay Sands.

[caption id="attachment_34386" align="aligncenter" width="4896"] Image Credit: Unsplash[/caption]

The hotel has become the most iconic building in Singapore and one of the must-visit spots is the Marina Bay SkyPark.

Sitting at 57 levels above the heart of the city, the Sands SkyPark Observation Deck offers 360 degrees of unblocked panoramic views of Singapore.

If you’re there at night, be sure to stay for Spectra, a 15-minute, free-for-public outdoor light and water show displayed at the Event Plaza along the promenade.

6. Maxwell Food Centre

Maxwell Food Centre is easily one of our favourite spots to eat.

[caption id="attachment_34383" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Image Credit: Dreamstime[/caption]

A few minutes walk away from Tanjong Pagar MRT station, the food centre is a treasure trove of good food.

While people usually queue for Tian Tian Chicken Rice, we suggest that you ditch the queue and go for something more exciting.

Go for gravy goodness at the Hainanese Curry Rice stall or have a healthier meal with the Sliced Fish Soup from Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon.

[caption id="attachment_34385" align="aligncenter" width="645"] Image Credit: Burpple User Alicia Ho[/caption]

These are our 2 favourite stalls in Maxwell Food Centre.

Maxwell Food Centre has perpetually snaking queues in majority of their stalls. So come early, come hungry, and bring a friend so you can try as many dishes as possible.

Maxwell Food Centre
Address: 1 Kadayanallur Street, Singapore 069184

7. Mustafa Centre

What initially started out as a store selling readymade garments in 1971 has since grown into a 24-hour, six floor, two-building shopping heaven.

[caption id="attachment_34388" align="aligncenter" width="618"] Image Credit: Pinterest[/caption]

Your first visit here may feel overwhelming as you’re bound to bump shoulders with tens of thousands of people squeezing their way through Mustafa’s narrow aisles.

You’ll find everything from homeware and electronics to clothes and groceries. With over 3,000 products on sale at bargained prices, you’re bound to fill your baskets with snacks, a random pair of sunglasses and perhaps a kettle that you managed to convince yourself that you’ll “eventually” need.

If you find yourself feeling a little peckish while doing your shopping, there’s a 400-seater restaurant called Kebabs ‘n Curries opened at the rooftop of Mustafa’s spanking new wing. You can enjoy everything from naan to dum briyani without the fine dining price tag.

Mustafa Centre is the one-stop place for everything. Just be sure to control your urge to buy everything while you’re here.

Mustafa Centre
Address: 145 Syed Alwi Road, Little India, Singapore 207704

10. Southern Ridges & Henderson Waves Bridge

Singapore has always been known as Asia’s Greenest City and what better way to experience the natural greenery on our island city, than taking a hike on the Southern Ridges, a 10km trail that connects the parks along the southern ridge of Singapore.

[caption id="attachment_34396" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image Credit: DiscoverSG[/caption]

The Southern Ridges trail connects Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park.

Mount Faber Park is one of the oldest parks in Singapore and is connected to Telok Blangah Hill Park by the Henderson Waves bridge.

If you’re looking for great photo opportunities and amazing views of the sunset, keep walking until you reach Henderson Waves bridge.

[caption id="attachment_34397" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Image Credit: @adventureideas[/caption]

It is Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge with a unique wave-form design that forms alcoves that double as shelters with seats within.

The wave-forms are lit with LED lamps at night from 7pm to 2am daily, so you can pop by anytime.

It’s quite cathartic to just be there. Do pack bug spray though; mosquitoes are vicious.

[caption id="attachment_652" align="aligncenter" width="615"] Image Credit: Mirror.co.uk[/caption]

Ah Valentine’s Day.

A day of love, affection, chocolates, and cards. But for some, it’s a day of dilemmas and frustration. Every year, many of us whine about not knowing where to go and what to do. Plans that entail not burning a hole in our pockets or breaking the bank are high on many Singaporeans’ priorities. Lest many also forget to consider, it should also be romantic or we risk incurring the wrath of our other halves.

Alas, no more hassles and no more worries. Don’t let the absence of money spoil this wonderful day. It’s the thought that counts after all right? As Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th, the team in Discover SG has compiled 14 free things that couples can do on this coming Valentine’s Day.

1) Take a Stroll Along Henderson Waves

Who knew the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore would actually be such an idyllic place for romance? Not only does the bridge resemble the undulating shape of a wave, its scrupulously designed shape allows it to have recesses, where pedestrians can observe and take in the natural beauty of their surroundings. To all lovebirds out there, be sure to check this place out at dusk, when the mood is enhanced by luminous lighting and a gorgeous night sky.

2) Appreciate The Arts In Gillman Barracks

Gillman Barracks is the indie and lesser-known home to internationally-celebrated and contemporary art pieces. With 11 different galleries to choose from and exhibitions that change periodically, you don’t have to be an art enthusiast to find something that captures your eye. And with such diversity, there are many insta-worthy spots for couples to get their “sophistication” on!

3) Traipse Around The Garden

Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s futuristic garden, is nothing short of unbelievable at night.

Known as Wonder Full, Singapore’s premier light and water show is a stunning convergence of light, music, and sound. Impress your girl with this dazzling 15-minute display and witness the water transform into images that tells the tale of the journey of life. As the show begins at 8pm, for best viewing, reach early and ‘chope’ the middle seats for the optimum experience.

5) Stargaze at Tanjong Beach

For a day of tranquility and to simply unwind and enjoy each other’s company, Tanjong Beach is the ideal place. The wide expanse of pristine sand and a cool seaside breeze provides the perfect setting for a simple picnic and pleasant conversations. At nightfall, end the day off in spectacular fashion under a blanket of stars.

Location: 2 Orchard Turn, Level 56, Singapore 238801

8) Visit The Love Temple

Yueh Hai Ching Temple is one of the oldest in Singapore. It is known as The Love Temple because Yue Lao, believed to be the elder of the moon deity, sits in the center of this temple. Yue Lao is a matchmaker deity who ties red strings to couples, symbolizing marriage, love and romance. Are spiritual blessings on Valentine’s Day the best gifts of all?

9) Have A Picnic At Marina Barrage

Who knew that this innovative facility that helps supply water to Singaporeans is also one of the nicest places in the evening? The rooftop of the barrage boasts a circular green space that’s popular for picnics and sightseeing. As one of the go-to attractions for couples in Singapore, it is perhaps mandatory to include this on the list.

Location: 8 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018951

10) Watch An Outdoor Movie

MovieMob is a free outdoor drive-in movie screening that takes place in all locations around Singapore. Similar to the ones that we see in movies, this event happens on a first-come-first serve basis, so it’s best to stay updated on their social media pages. Although they don’t have fixed schedules, the people behind MovieMob are definitely planning something for Valentine’s Day. Watch this space.

[embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/1kupJdNd7w/?taken-by=moviemob[/embed] [embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/oVUSYoNd2t/?taken-by=moviemob[/embed] [embed]https://www.instagram.com/p/cY0rxTtdwE/?taken-by=moviemob[/embed]

11) Enjoy Some Sweet Tunes At Botanical Gardens

For a relaxing night in luscious natural settings, the Singapore Botanical Gardens is the quintessential choice. Be serenaded by the melodic vocals and romantic tunes of live bands under a moon lit sky. As this would be wildly popular, be prepared to head down an hour earlier to “chope” your seats. The performances begins at 7pm sharp!

12) Admire The Sunset At Labrador Park

During the day, you’d expect to see many families around the area due to its scenic views of the sea. However, at sundown, Labrador Park, coupled with well-lit paths and cool sea breezes, transforms into an offbeat place in Singapore for lovebirds. Let the sounds of gentle waves and the dim golden glow of the setting sun stir up your love.

13) Cement Your Love At Clarke Quay

Not many know about this, but did you know that there is a place in Clarke Quay for couples to hang their love locks? For the uninitiated, love locks are used by couples to symbolize their love for one another. The key is then thrown away to make it forever.

14) Quality Time At Home

To end off this list, people often underestimate the simplest gestures. Sometimes, a home-cooked meal followed by a romantic movie with wine and chocolate is really all that it takes to demonstrate your love for each other. Or perhaps, spend the evening at home sweet home in each other’s arms and cozy up with candles and ambient music.
