Singapore might be tiny but it's chock-full of fun! Let's GO!
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! Click here to watch and read our experience going down the Singapore River boat passing by the Merlion park. 5. Eat kaya butter toast and half-boiled eggs from Ya Kun or Wang cafe This must be one of Jess' favourite activity because she always brings friends from abroad to Ya Kun for the crispy toast. Lol~ Need we say more? Watch us eat half-boiled eggs and kaya toast the right way. 6. Speak in Singlish... lah! Do what the locals do, eat what they eat, and speak how the way they do. Learn some phrases from us lah! 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. Whoo! Click here to watch Elyn and Jess eat a whole lot of dessert. 8. Take the zipline over the trees and beach on Sentosa on Megazip It's 450m long! 9. Shop at Mustafa past midnight Musatafa's probably the only place that's 24-hour and could you give you a solid shopping experience. Even the mainstream departmental stores cannot beat the range of stuff that Mustafa has. Seriously. Take the MRT to Farrer Park station and take a 5 minute walk to Mustafa. 10. Have Tze Char for dinner So what's tze char? It's basically the food stalls you find at hawker centres, coffee shops and food courts, that cook various noodle, rice, meat and seafood dishes, steamed, braised, fried, raw - you name it. If you want a restaurant version of tze char, that would be restaurants like Jumbo. 11. Rent a bicycle, pair of rollerblades, a 2-person or 4-person bike a cruise along East Coast Beach Take a leisurely ride with a beautiful view along the beach is therapeutic. Plus, it takes less effort with 4 people cycling. :D Watch our cycle along East Coast Park! 12. Watch an MMA fight Muay thai in Thailand, taekwando in Korea, judo in Japan and kungfu in China. Why not MMA in Singapore? Visit onefc.com for matches! 13. Eat crabs Chilli crabs and black pepper crabs rank the same on the must-eat list as laksa. Other than the full flavours of the crabs, this finger-licking meal is great to just past time with because you need to crack and dissect the crab for the juicy meat. You can find this at most coffeeshops from the tze char stalls. (Some recommendations: Crab Master, or Hong Kong Street Chun Kee.) If you prefer eating at a restaurant, visit East Coast Seafood Centre where the best ones are lined up. 14. Visit Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve For those who love nature and the outdoors, visit this wetland reserve to escape the city. 15. Drink kopi or teh (coffee or tea) at a local coffee shop Chuck the sodas and find out why most locals cannot get past a day without drinking at least one cup of kopi or teh a day. 16. Take a selfie with the Universal Studios globe Never mind if you are not going to visit the amusement park, it's THE photo and globe that matters. 17. Smell fishy at 4am at Jurong Fishery Port 18. Fly a kite at Marina Barrage 19. Try Tiger Beer Tiger beer is the first beer brewed in Singapore. You can even go for the Tiger Beer brewery tour. 20. Have a buffet This is probably the most participated-in activity among Singaporeans so finding a restaurant or hotel that serves one is not a problem. 21. Ride on a trishaw This used to be a main means of transportation in the past here. Now you can go for an area tour riding a trishaw. 23. Visit Bedok Simpang for roti prata supper There are a number of coffeeshops that service roti prata. One of the prata outlets we love is Casurina Curry, which operates round the clock! 24. Roam a housing estate 25. Order a table full of local food at a hawker centre Sharing is great. Eating alone doesn't allow you to eat from 5 different stalls. But eating with 5 friends allows you to eat food from 10 different stalls. Try East Coast Lagoon Food Village. 26. Drink sugarcane juice Find this green juice at any hawker centre. 27. Chill at a quaint or quzzical cafe 28. Challenge yourself at the Bedok Reservoir Forest Adventure 29. Join in a random queue You will see queues of people randomly, chances are people are queuing for free stuff, like an umbrella, or donuts. :D 30. Run a street marathon Run with thousands more at one of the many road runs - Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore Run, Nike Sundown and the Illumi Run are the more prominent ones! 31. Take fun photos Trick Eye Museum vs. Alive Museum 32. Have dinner in midair Option 1: In a cable car. Option 2: Ferris wheel capsule. 33.

@ KF1 Karting Circuit: 1 Turf Club Ave, Singapore 738078 (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays) Nearest MRT station: Kranji The unique thing about this karting circuit is that is lies just metres above the train track. Passengers on the train can catch a glimpse of the karting action while the MRT travels above it. It was actually pretty amazing to see the karts moving faster train. Lol~ The facility costs $2m to build and was designed by Herman Tilke, who is also the man behind many F1 tracks. Karting enthusiasts can rent Viper or Birel karts and ply the circuit for $22-$45 per session depending on what time of the day and if you kart on a weekday or weekend. Youths under the age of 21 get to kart at better prices. Signing up for membership can also get you lower rates. There are occasional races too and the public can view as spectators for free! Hands up for free stuff! :) For rates and more details, visit kf1karting.com! |
