Laksa and nothing else, from the family of the hawker credited with cutting the noodles short so Katong laksa could be eaten with a spoon. Pair it with 328 across the road and pick a side.
Katong laksa in its spoon-only form: thick coconut-and-sambal broth over noodles cut short. Janggut is across the road, so order small here and compare.
A two-storey 1928 temple on Keong Saik Road with porcelain dragons on the roof ridge, Belgian floral tiles on the five-foot way and painted trusses overhead. Five minutes, if you look up.
A Hindu temple to Ganesha at the top of Keong Saik Road since 1925, with a five-tier gateway tower carved by craftsmen from India. See it from across the junction, then quietly inside.
A public sky garden on the 50th floor of an HDB estate, reached by registering an EZ-Link card at Block 1G. Go late afternoon and walk to the Block 1A end, which faces the sunset.
Fifty-plus years of wok hei on Keong Saik, now air-conditioned and holding a 2026 Bib Gourmand. Bring a group, go at weekday lunch, and order the big prawn hor fun.
Singapore's first civil airport, a conserved 1937 art deco terminal by the National Stadium. A five-minute look from the pavement on a Kallang walk; you can't go inside.
The renamed Sports Hub is best on a day with no big event: a kayak on the basin before the heat, lunch in a mall, the stadium lit up after dark. The water centre shuts on Tuesdays.
A free four-level lookout tower across the Kallang Basin from the CBD and the stadium. Come half an hour before sunset on a clear evening, then walk home over the lit footbridge.
A five-hectare strip between two bridges most people cross without looking: the Kallang Gas Holder, otters by Stadium Link and egrets from September to March. Calm because it's overlooked.
The Ten Courts of Hell, explained at last, inside a museum on death and the afterlife at Haw Par Villa. Not for under-9s; the rest of you will talk about it all the way home.
A volunteer-run museum of ordinary Queenstown life: biscuit tins, bowling pins, a rescued neon cinema sign and more than 6,000 items gathered before the bulldozers came to Tanglin Halt.
