exhilaration! a word that 

conjures up excitement, 

intrigue, revitalisation 

and so much more. it’s also the 

word that best encapsulates 

everything that’s great about 

singapore right now. From aweinspiring 

new attractions and 

world premiere stage shows to 

thrilling restaurant arrivals, a 

a resurgent cocktail scene and 

neighbourhoods abuzz with 

hip haunts and hot happenings 

including exclusive parties 

just in time for the F1 race, the 

question is not ‘What is there to 

do here?’ so much as it is ‘how 

much do i have time for?’ and 

‘how soon can i come back?!’ 

We’ve picked highlights 

from across the city to make 

finding your way around and 

sampling the best of what’s 

on offer a breeze. along the 

singapore river we uncover 

some hidden history and more 

than a few places to party. 

around Marina Bay we highlight 

the hottest shops and show you 

how to live the high life; quite 

literally in the case of one spot 

that offers amazing island-wide 

views. elsewhere, we go inside 

the brand new, breathtaking 

gardens by the Bay, sample 

some crazy cocktails with the 

bartenders stamping singapore’s 

name on the global scene and 

get the inside scoop on the 

multitude of celebrity chefs 

who’ve established themselves 

here. and there’s drama—and 

comedy and music and more— 

in our rundown of the biggest 

shows in town over the next 

three months. 

With so much going on 

and so many places to explore, 

get set for a truly exhilarating 

experience—the kind other 

countries restrict to their theme 

parks! enjoy your stay, and see 

you again very soon.

Paya Lebar

Riverside Festivities 

the lifeblood of singapore 

is the river. in the early 

days when the city was a 

British outpost, singapore river 

was the colony’s main trade artery 

and the centre of its commercial 

activity. today, the banks of the 

river are still abuzz, though the 

bustle of entrepôt trade has 

been replaced with an array of 

cultural spots, restaurants and 

after-dark hangouts. it’s also a 

place of romance. riverside cafés 

and restaurants develop a charm 

of their own and old bridges 

become a perfect, picturesque 

spot for couples. Best explored 

in the afternoon and into the 

night, singapore river has it all— 

idyllic views, fascinating history, 

incredible art, and amazing food 

and drink. take a quiet stroll along 

this lovely waterway and you’ll see 

why singapore river offers a sense 

of romance and the heartbeat of 

the city. 

START 

after exiting Raffles Place 

MRT, head over singapore’s 

oldest bridge, the 142-year-old 

Cavanagh Bridge, to the 1 Asian 

Civilisations Museum, the first in 

southeast asia to bring together 

an integrated perspective of panasian 

cultures and civilisations. 

Wandering through the exhibits 

here can make for a great midafternoon 

date. Whether it’s a 

majestic yellow robe once worn by 

the emperor of China or terracotta 

Singapore River 

From exquisite dining to watering holes with live entertainment, 

the singapore river is home to a plethora of activities waiting 

to be discovered. 

figures from some of these early 

civilisations, you’re sure to find 

something beautiful to admire. 

outside the museum is 

Raffles’ Landing Site, the location 

where singapore’s founding father, 

sir stamford raffles, first set foot 

in 1819. head across the bridge to 

2 UOB Plaza and you’ll be greeted 

by two sculptures: the 3.8-metre 

tall Salvador Dali’s Homage to 

Newton and the playful Bird by 

Fernando Botero. 

World class art, 

right in the heart 

of the city. 

along the 

river banks 

in between 

Maybank 

tower and Bird by Fernando Botero 



Boat Quay 

3 Fullerton Hotel, you’ll 

see the “People of the River” 

sculptures, which depict what 

river life was like during the 

early days of singapore. 

Continuing your afternoon 

walk west will take you to 4 

Boat Quay, a collection of lovely 

conservation shophouses, which 

are transformed into a bustling 

scene at night filled with bars, 

restaurants and clubs where you 

can really feel the after-dark pulse 

of singapore. 

one of the newest bars on the 

strip is Absinthe Artisan, which is 

great for pre-dinner drinks. Calling 

itself singapore’s very first absinthe 

boutique bar, it serves the spirit in 

a variety of concoctions including 

an absinthe martini garnished 

with bak kwa (sweet/savoury 

barbecued pork), which works 

surprisingly well. and the venue’s 

décor evokes the romantic charm 

of paris. 

dinner around the area can 

be had across the road from 5 

Clarke Quay Mrt at Le Chasseur, 

which serves up hearty local food 


to satisfy even the most hardcore 

foodie. always packing in a healthy 

crowd, its signature dishes are 

claypot chicken rice, ter kar chou 

(pig trotter in black vinegar) and 

barbequed prawns. 

in the evening, Helipad at 5 

The Central opens for business. 

the main room downstairs has dJs 

spinning electro and upbeat lounge 

music, but it’s the 278 square 

metre rooftop bar on the fifth 

floor that’s the main attraction. it 

overlooks the singapore river and, 

at night, the whole of Clarke Quay 

lights up for some spectacularly 

romantic views. 

another alternative for dinner is 

further down at 6 Riverside Point 

mall’s Jumbo Seafood Restaurant 

which is fantastic for local seafood 

by the river. this buzzing restaurant 

serves one of the best renditions of 

singapore’s famous chilli crab dish, 

as well as the restaurant’s 

other favourites, 

crispy baby squid 

and sambal (chillibased 

sauce) 

kangkong. 

Jumbo Seafood Restaurant 

across the river is where 

you’ll find 7 Clarke Quay, 

one of singapore’s premier 

entertainment hubs with over 

50 bars and restaurants. irish 

bar Mulligan’s is a warm and 

inviting spot that will make you 

feel right at home. pad your 

stomach with some hearty irish 

dishes alongside a beer or two. 

For more beers, nearby Beer 

Market is a must. Feel the pulse of 

the market as the prices of their 23 

different types of beers rise and fall 

every half hour in accordance with 

consumer demand. 

as far as nightclub action 

goes, Attica offers a lively party 

atmosphere with overseas guest 

dJs spinning the decks. and if 

you’re looking for an amazing 

audio-visual treat, megaclub Zirca 

has live performances by aerialists, 

contortionists and fire-twirlers who 

do their acts in time to the club 

music. For the best of both worlds, 

Aquanova provides an extensive 

menu of flavourful food and drinks 

amid a clubbing atmosphere. daily 

live performances make this place 

a great entertainment destination. 

8 The Pier at robertson 

is the place to go if you prefer 

something more down-tempo. you 

can sit back and enjoy some fine 

drinks at La Maison du Whisky, 

which has over 600 drinks on 

offer including some rare vintages 

like a 1951 Macallan or a 1973 

glenfiddich. 

Fancy something 

spanish? pop into 

FoodBar DaDa for 

a little taste of 

europe. expect 

delights such 

as Boqueria 

omelette

and paella—their compact menu 

changes daily. if you’re finding it 

hard to stay awake after all that 

good food, Smitten Coffee and 

Tea Bar has a great selection of 

premium brews—roasting is done 

in-house. 

there’s also Laurent’s Café & 

Chocolate Bar which sells locally 

produced chocolates. the latenight 

café here (it’s open every 

night until at least 11pm) is popular 

for its chocolate tarts, which some 

swear to be the best in town. 

if you’re into wines, stop by 

9 Wine Connection Tapas Bar & 

Bistro. this bistro offers 34 wines 

by the glass and 150 wines by the 

bottle alongside a selection of 

food—including desserts.

sake—over 300 types! tasting 

flights are available as well.

is another option for those who 

prefer something different. enjoy

Garden of 

Dreams 

singapore’s new icon gardens by the Bay 

promises a multi-sensory experience for 

visitors—from lush greenery and floral 

displays to choice F&B options. 

singapore is akin to a city within 

a garden, where rich greenery 

co-exists perfectly with a 

myriad of world-class attractions. 

its burgeoning Marina Bay precinct, 

home to the esplanade—theatres 

on the Bay, Marina Bay sands® 

and the singapore Flyer, has a new 

iconic green attraction to add to the 

experience. the recently opened 

gardens by the Bay is a stunning 

amalgamation of lush greenery, 

housing a quarter of a million rare 

plants and a plethora of buzzing 

activities that promise an allencompassing 

experience for the 

whole family. on a purely aesthetic 

level, the three main waterfront 

gardens—Bay south, Bay east and 

Bay central—spanning a total 101 

hectares, are a spectacular sight 

to behold. 

nature 


nature 

Flower Dome Supertrees 

the gardens’ key features 

include two landmark glass 

biomes, “Cloud Forest” and 

“Flower dome”, that you 

simply cannot miss. these 

conservation units replicate 

tropical Montane’s cool-moist 

and the Mediterranean’s cooldry 

climates, spreading across 

an impressive 0.8 and 1.2 

hectares of space respectively. 

the conservatories also support 

sustainable engineering, utilising 

energy-efficient solutions in a 

cooling environment that allows 

a myriad of plants to grow 

and thrive. in addition to the 

permanent display of interesting 

plant life and tree species, 

visitors can look forward to 

seasonal floral displays within the 

“Flower dome” for a thoroughly 

immersive experience each time. 

Floral enthusiasts can check 

out the magnificent Supertrees, 

vertical gardens comprising 18 

bromeliads, ferns and tropical 

flowering climbers that range 

between 25-50 metres in height. 

these plants mimic the ecological 

functions of trees through their 


environmentally sustainable 

features, some with photovoltaic 

cells on their canopies to harvest 

solar energy that enables them 

to light up at night, while others 

are integrated with cooled 

conservatories and serve as air 

exhaust receptacles. 

during the day, 

the supertrees’ 

canopies provide 

shade to the 

rest of the 

space, while at 

night, they are 

lit up through a 

series of lighting 

and multimedia 

projections 

for a multi-sensory 

experience. Visitors can also 

get a breathtaking bird’s eye 

view of the whole area from 

the aerial walkway linking the 

individual supertrees and enjoy 

the scenery throughout the day. 

another spot not to be missed 

is the Horticultural Themed 

Gardens, a vast garden landscape 

including the Malay garden, 

which features plants commonly 

Pollen 

found in the Malay community, 

and the Colonial garden, where 

rare plants can be found. another 

highlight within the gardens are 

the Dragonfly & Kingfisher Lakes, 

also at Bay south, which act as a 

natural filtration system for water 

from the garden’s catchment. 

the lakes provide a 

charming aquatic 

habitat for fishes 

and dragonflies. 

More than 

just a showcase 

of lush greenery, 

there are choice 

dining options 

here to ensure that 

one never goes hungry. 

the Satay by the Bay, a 

2,000-square-metre casual dining 

space, has hawker stalls serving 

the best local fare like char kway 

teow (fried flat rice noodles in 

a sweet, savoury black sauce) 

and, of course, satay (barbecued 

chicken, mutton and beef meat 

sticks famous among the Malay 

community). set amid plush 

surroundings comprising a dining 

pavilion perched over an eco-pond

and a drinks island replete with 

hanging plants, it can sit up to 

almost 1,000 in both its indoor 

and outdoor areas. Canopies of 

green wood and natural ventilation 

from the waterfront enhance 

the overall dining experience. 

another great casual dining 

option is the Supertree Grove, 

where you can find a range of 

cozy café-type establishments like 

noodle specialist peach garden 

noodle house, american chain 

texas Fried Chicken, and local 

fare and homemade coffee at 

hill street Coffee. here, patrons 

can dine in a comfortable 

atmosphere and bask in the 

natural sunlight shining through 

the floor-to-ceiling windows, or 

enjoy the light displays of the 

supertrees at night. Wicker chairs 

and timber tables with metal 

flourishes add a delightful 

touch to the rustic 

dining experience. 

While you’re 

there, don’t miss 

Pollen, which 

boasts an idyllic, 

Mediterranean-style 

coastal setting nestled 

foodies. Comprising two levels, 

the lower dining room is a casual, 

contemporary setting with 

communal dining tables 

to allow for gatherings, 

while the upper dining 

room is a more intimate 

space for smaller 

groups, couples and 

private functions. there 

is even a Chef’s table 

within a lush olive grove Supertree Grove within the kitchen zone 

at the “Flower dome” 

where guests can view
