Singapore
Capitalising on its melting pot of cultures, Singapore is finally getting some spark, and is fast becoming one of Asias hit-list destinations.
Whizzing around Singapore can take a matter of minutes, thanks to one of the worlds most efficient and widespread public transport systems. Hankering for a roti prata breakfast in Little India, but want to visit the temples in Chinatown before lunch? No problem, youll be there in a jiffy using the sparkling MRT system and why not stop at Marina Bay for a spot of shopping on your way? Plus, with new metro lines opening practically every two years, this tiny island just keeps on becoming easier to explore.
Food in Singapore is taken very seriously. From cheap hawker fare to Michelin-starred fine dining, food-enamoured Singaporeans will line up for it, Instagram the hell out of it and passionately debate whether it is die, die, must try Singlish slang for to die for. Dont fret about finding a place to chow down, as each neighbourhood is home to local hawker centres and coffeeshops dishing up some of the islands best meals for just a couple of bucks. Simply follow your nose or join the longest queue whatever morsels lie at the end, they are almost guaranteed to be scrumptious.
The concrete jungles that once dominated Singapores skyline are slowly giving way to green skyscrapers, which look more like living ecosystems than business hubs. Fervently working towards its City in a Garden dream, the nation is ploughing money into becoming more sustainable and well, green. Head out of town a little and youll find plenty of walking trails, treetop jungle bridges, wildlife galore and the city's green jewel, the Unesco World Heritagelisted Singapore Botanic Gardens: these are the lungs of Singapore.
When the sweltering outdoor heat gets too much, Singaporeans love ducking inside for a spot of retail therapy and a good dose of air-conditioning. Orchard Rd is the queen of shopping malls: with all the high-street brands, plenty of high-fashion houses, and a few discount outlets thrown into the mix, everyones needs (and more often wants) are catered for here. If you prefer your shopping a little less mass-market, head out to local neighbourhoods for independent designers, quirky art galleries, bustling markets, Chinese medicines, Persian carpets and a sari or two.
By Ria de Jong, Writer
Small enough to feel intimate yet big enough to retain a degree of mystery, Singapore is a place I love discovering again and again. The city sometimes feels like it's travelling at a breakneck speed into tomorrow with its futuristic architecture, high-speed efficiency and shiny image, but you only need to take a small step off the main drag into bustling village markets, smoky Chinese temples and heritage shophouse-lined streets to get a dose of its rich history and culture. Then theres the food: nothing stills my beating heart quite like a perfectly grilled satay and an ice-cold Tiger Beer.
Fragrant chicken rice, rich and nutty satay, sweet and sour rojak, spicy barbecue sambal stingray: Singapore's is the stuff of legend, and celebrity chefs, from Anthony Bourdain to the late New York Times writer Johnny Apple, have raved about the dazzling array of cheap, lip-smacking dishes available you'll even find one- and two-starred Michelin stalls! There's really no better way to get into Singapore's psyche than through its cuisine, so roll up your sleeves and get ready to sweat it out over steaming plates of tried, tested and perfected local favourites.
