Starting
your walking tour from the right place will save you time
and ensure that you do not miss out on any of the places
of interest. My pick would be to start the walk from Telok
Ayer Street, the nearest MRT Station being Tanjong Pagar
MRT Station (EW15). More>>

Geylang
(pronounced "Gay Lung") is infamous for 2 things
- its glorious food and its red light district. The Lorongs
("streets" in Malay) in Geylang are numbered 1
to 42 eastward, with the red light district in the teens
and great food places found all over. More>> |

The
Binge at Geylang Serai, Joo Chiat &Marine Parade.
In
the 1840s, after the British dispersed the Malay floating
village at the mouth of the Singapore River, the Malays
began to settle in the Geylang Serai area. In the result,
Geylang Serai has for years been known as the Malay enclave
in Singapore. More

No
trip to Singapore would be complete without checking out
its hip and happenin' night scene, and there's no better
place to do it than Robertson Quay (also known as the Mohamed
Sultan area). In recent years, this riverside party strip
has surpassed both Boat Quay and Clarke Quay as the party
capital of Singapore, to be crowned the Sultan of Swing.

Boat
Quay is a continuous stretch of watering holes and dance
clubs. Being adjacent to the central business district of
Singapore, it is a favourite hangout for yuppies after office
hours. After dark, the thumping music can be heard from
across the Singapore River. More>>

CHIJMES
(pronounced "Chimes") was once the Convent of
the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ). The chapel, built in the 1850s,
still stands today. In 1997, after S$100 million in restoration
later, CHIJ reopened its doors as CHIJMES. Who would have
thought that one of Singapore's premier nightspots would
be behind cloister walls? More>> |

Club
Street is THE place to dine if budget is not an issue and
you're looking for a romantic night out in a quaint part
of town. A full-course dinner at some of the restaurants
here can cost more than a week's worth of the best hawker
meals, but the ambience here is in a league of its own.
