An eight-seat counter in Bedok's East Village where one Japanese chef cooks and serves. Go at opening, alone or in a pair, and start with the Special Shio.
One prawn dish, on the menu since 2011, is the reason to book Tetsuya Wakuda's Marina Bay Sands counter. Save it for a milestone; Five at Five, from 19 October, is the cheaper way in.
Dim sum until 4am at weekends across six knocked-through Jalan Besar shophouses. Come for the hour and the fried oddities, not the textbook har gow, and go to the original.
The Ritz-Carlton’s Cantonese room for the parents, the milestone or the client. Order the sea whelk soup in a whole coconut, a signature since the first Michelin star in 2016.
The east's barbecue beach: book a pit with NParks, bring a bike and watch the planes come in over the sea. Wear covered shoes on the rocks, and don't count on the Coastal Walk.
Pilgrimage season runs until 8 November: boatloads of devotees, special ferries only. After that it's two lagoons, a tortoise sanctuary and far fewer people.
Imported sand, a crescent lagoon and, since the St John's jetty closed, every ferry landing here. The quiet beach is a little less of a secret, and still our pick of the islands.
Singapore's old quarantine island, now a lagoon, a picnic lawn, a cat colony and a skyline view. The ferry lands on Lazarus, and the walk across is the price of the quiet.
Singapore's war told through what the Changi prisoners kept: a hidden camera, a Morse set in a matchbox, a 400-page diary. Allow an hour, and note it shuts on Mondays.
The Singapore History Gallery reopened on 10 October 2026 after its first full revamp in 20 years, with a 1978 HDB lift, the Zouk sign and a rickshaw you can pull. Bring a grandparent.
Singapore's oldest Christian church, built by a community that had shrunk to 62 people by 1947 and still gave the city Raffles Hotel, The Straits Times and its national flower.
