3. Sing your lungs out at karaoke
Karaoke joints are open till late so singing at a karaoke is one activity you can do into the wee hours. Try Kbox or Partyworld. 4. Take THE mandatory water-drinking Merlion photo Visiting the Merlion Park is a touristy activity, but we must admit the view overlooking Marina Bay is splendid. To add to the touristy experience, you gotta let the Merlion offer you a drink! We take the Singapore River boat passing by the Merlion park. |

7. Eat a mountain of shaved ice desserts like ice kacang and chendol
Since we experience the everlasting summer in Singapore, you need to know what iced desserts there are. If you are at a hawker centre or coffeeshop, check out the dessert stall you will find the whole menu of colourful desserts staring at you. Best bet - ice kacang, chendol, or ice jelly. |

22. Savour durians
Not only do we love durian, we are in love with durian. Because of its strange, dangerous beautiful appearance, taste and smell, you'll either love it or hate - us soakers choose love. :) Durians grow well between June-August so you will find an abundance of durian during this time, mostly imported from Malaysia. At other times you will still find durian occasionally at random fruit stalls. Learn more about the thorny fruit here. |
