A thermal bathhouse on Dempsey Hill that asks you to switch off, not show off: two hot pools, a sauna, a steam room, a cold plunge and a lounge for tea. No phones, quiet voices, small groups.
A pop-up weekend market where a hundred-odd indie labels from across Asia time their launches. Free in, a different venue each edition; check the next date before you plan.
The one Orchard Road building where every label is Singapore-made: 80-plus brands at street level, a planted roof to sit on and a dining floor upstairs. Go for gifts, not bargains.
Haji Lane is the photo; Arab Street, two minutes away, is the trade – silk by the bolt, ribbon by the reel, carpets behind pink walls. Do both or you've only seen half of Kampong Glam.
Johor-style zi char on Geylang Road, late: a white pepper crab you eat with your hands and a crisp-edged san lou bee hoon to finish. Bring friends, wet wipes and no plans after.
Alexandra Village's family zi char since 1970, and the coffee pork ribs are why. Book for six, go to the Bukit Merah Lane original, and order the ribs before anything else.
A Minangkabau family kitchen on Kandahar Street since 1954, with rendang still cooked over charcoal and a breakfast menu for the early. Point at the rendang first.
A Bib Gourmand regular from 2016 until 2025, and still the easy, air-conditioned nasi padang lunch near Bugis. Halal, no booking, so arrive before the lunch rush.
Mano Thevar’s two-star modern Indian tasting menu, now in a terracotta-walled shophouse on Mohamed Sultan Road. Book it for the occasion; ask for the chef’s table if you’re two or three.
Race Course Road’s fish head curry house, from a 1974 thosai stall and named after Apollo 11. Bring friends to share the head, eat off the leaf, and call ahead for a big group.
Red walls, timber floors, a Bib Gourmand and a long Thai-Chinese menu, two lanes behind Raffles Hotel. Bring a group, book for Friday, and order beyond the phad thai.
