I’m in Singapore for work and have Friday evening and all day Saturday to do tourist stuff before heading back. I’m open to suggestions, as this is my first time in Singapore.

Specifically any car related stuff, like a cars and coffee?

Any general tourist ideas are welcome also.

Go hang out in their new airport. Seems like a destination in and of itself.

Find the strongest locally produced alcohol, drink a bottle of it, buy a moped.

A few ideas:

Chili crab and cold Tiger beer at Jumbo

Visit the Quay area, full of bars, restaurants and clubs

Sentosa Island Beach

Raffles Hotel Bar for a proper Gin and Tonic (fights Malaria you know!)

Hawker stands (food halls)

Orchard Street shopping (kinda like cars and coffee)

Little India for bargains

Overall it’s very safe there, but pay cash in bars/clubs.

I really want to check it out. I’m hoping to connect through there this year.

Other than that... Definitely look for some food halls!

Thanks. Planning to do Jumbo tonight or tomorrow, and maybe find a walking tour of little India. I’m staying on  Orchard right in the middle of the shopping, so that is hard to miss.

Tried to do Jumbo tonight, didn't want to wait in the queue for an hour (and I got there 15 minutes after they opened).  Eating at a restaurant along the river walk.

Yep, flew in Monday morning after the race.  Would have been cool, but that didn't work out with my work schedule.

It’s been about 25 years since I was in Singapore, but the zoo was AWESOME. That’s about all I can offer you, I was blackout drunk for most of my stay in Singapore, my only two m emories are the zoo  and a giant brawl which ended with some stitches in my lip, lol...

Still great, plus you can get Chili Crab in other places.
