A foodie can enjoy a whole five days in Singapore just eating. Begin, just for fun, at the local food courts where you can mingle with regular Singaporeans looking for a cheap meal of just a couple of dollars. Some food courts, especially on Orchard Road, are particularly good and even vegetarians get at least three dishes on each counter's menu.
At the Esplanade, where all the art and culture activities take place, is My Humble House. Anything but humble, this chain of restaurants extends across South East Asia. The one at the Esplanade serves fusion cuisine and since it overlooks the riverside it's already a very appealing option!
Great, if expensive, food also at Holland Village, an area inhabited mostly by expats. Mostly housing European restaurants, the long, narrow lane prides itself on great food including an all-vegetarian Mediterranean restaurant called Original Sin at Chip Bee Gardens.
Chinatown has lots of options for Chinese food, but for an Indonesian spread definitely try the House of Sundanese on Boat Quay.
Marche's on Orchard allows you to wander through a makeshift underground bazaar, picking and choosing items from various stalls and watching as your dish gets prepared right in front of you. Peranakan Place also has some café options and allows you to soak in the old-world charm of these old inhabitants of the Island City.
But a must-do thing is definitely Zouk. Yes, it's over-rated and yes, it's big and noisy, but billed as Asia's largest and most happening night club, Zouk has hosted some of the biggest DJs from abroad, who arrive in Singapore to beat frosty winters elsewhere.
