Hello my lovely Local Guides 🙂 I am lucky enough to be spending the next week or so in Singapore and I'd love to hear any recs or tips you may have for me 🙂
I read @ImperialP's post about The Best Nasi Lemak in Singapore, but if anyone else has any other advice for while I'm on this side of the world, it would be much appreciated 🙂
This is one of the many birds that have been hollering outside my hotel window tonight... well... they were until this epic thunderstorm started 🙂

Hi Corrie,
Since it is Chinese New Year this weekend.
Maybe you would like to drop by to Chinatown and full immerse yourself into the Chinese New Year mood.
We just had a Chinese New Year themed LG event. Here's the details if you wanna replicate it.
Itinerary:
1. Chinatown Visitor Center
2. Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
3 Sri Mariamman Temple
(I know, but we need to make a quick stop here beacause it is Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple 8 Sri Mariamman Temple, built in 1827 and now a national monument)
4. Chinatown Heritage Centre
5. Chinatown Street Market & Food Street
-shopping and food!
Here's the Photo Story Album.

Food in Singapore in 3 words;
Hainanese Chicken Rice.
Chicken will never be the same again... Oh good plates of this can be gotten at older coffee shops / hawker centres at $3-$3.50. Being such a rice bucket I always ask for extra rice and end up with an entire mountain of food.
As for things to do I have no idea - I'm in Singapore for work and it's a ceaseless cycle of wake@5am-eat-work-eat-sleep for the past decade...
