20 Unique Things to do in Singapore

Need some new ideas as you plan your itinerary to Singapore? Surprise yourself with these new activities and places to go.

Bondi Beach, Sydney

This one kilometer stretch of golden sand loved by all of Sydney is undeniably one of the country’s most famous beaches. The first thing that strikes you as you wind down the busy main road that connects Bondi Beach to the Eastern suburbs of Australia’s biggest city, is the improbability of seeing such a postcard perfect beach, literally fifteen minutes away from the downtown of Sydney, and surrounded by densely populated suburbia.

Singapore Mooncakes

On this most recent visa-centered expedition, Singapore was Mooncake Central time. For the Chinese, the mooncake commemorates the mid-Autumn moon-slash-fertility festival and in Singapore you couldn’t turn around for the mooncake stalls. You can resist one mooncake, but mooncakes at every turn are hard to ignore, particularly when there’s a three-meter tall inflatable mooncake rotating on a stage in the middle of Bugis Village. I caved and bought three for a Singaporean dollar.

China Town in Kuala Lumpur (KL)

For the amount of times I’ve been to Kuala Lumpur my insider food knowledge is embarrassingly limited. Being predisposed to hanging around malls and hotels, most of my eating experience is gathered from food halls and complimentary breakfasts.  Which, I guess, still qualifies me to let you down gently if you had planned a stay in the capital that involved having bacon served to you at any time, since non-halal meats aren’t permissible by Muslim law. Turkey ‘bacon’, beef sausages and other heinous food items are offered as substitutes but if you’re anything like me, the mere existence of such things is insulting.
