@Ben. Pulau Ubin is where all the dead Taxis end up isn’t it? I was over in Singapore for a year or so with work and used to ride there and Bukit Timah. This was on shonky hire crap with the masses at weekends.
So for the visitor, Clarke and Boat Quays, Newton Circus and East coast Parkway Hawker centres (the food in Sing is fantastic). Orchard towers for multi storey mucky women (if that’s your thing – not mine BTW), Sentosa, Raffles, Bintam and Batam if you have time at the weekend for a bit of seaside R&R. Loads of decent bars and restaurants. Botanical gardens very nice, I used to run there when I had an apartment in Newton Circus. Little India can be bizarre, there’s a street completely full of ladyboys… and Bugis Junction is a pale imitation of its former self. The locals are pretty friendly so the local staff should be able to show you around a to bit stop you feeling like Billy No Mates.
