A morning at a flooded quarry, a bird-watching hour in a Tampines park left mostly wild, or a full day on granite Pulau Ubin. Three green weekends that are not the Botanic Gardens.
Granola people go to Dearborn, spice people go to Kotuwa and the friend who wants a slice and a beer goes to Artichoke. An old school on Kim Yam Road, best done one subject at a time.
The Malaysian chain's last Singapore outlet, at Kallang Wave, named Sunday 11 October as its final day after more than 12 years. The landlord didn't renew; OldTown hasn't ruled out a return.
Book one bar and stay: ATLAS for an occasion, Nutmeg & Clove for dinner and drinks together, Offtrack with a non-drinker, Le Bon Funk for an easy bottle. Eat early; kitchens close first.
Orchard Road is 2.5km of malls and it will flatten you if you let it. One stretch, a weekday morning, a detour up Emerald Hill and a rooftop at the end: that's the whole plan.
Sungei Buloh now, while the shorebirds are in; Pasir Ris for children; HortPark for gardeners; Bishan–AMK for a drain that became a river. Go with a question, not a step count.
Universal Studios for a day of rides, the Oceanarium when it rains, Adventure Cove for swimmers over 107cm, Fort Siloso and the beach for a loose day. Pick one Sentosa, not five.
Tap a bank card at the gantry, carry an umbrella after lunch, budget nearly a fifth on top wherever you see ++ and respect the tissue packet. The briefing we'd give a friend just off the plane.
Teochew bak kut teh with a 1969 pushcart start, a kitchen built on coconut, a grandmother's Peranakan recipes with a star and a tasting menu of dishes fading from memory. One city, four registers.
Imported sand, anchored tankers and the odd crocodile. The honest ranking: Lazarus for the beach, Palawan for children, Changi for barbecues and East Coast for a work night.
A balsa-wood model of the city centre, a stepwell in Little India and the hill where the Malay Regiment held out in 1942. Pick one question, and see the City Gallery before it closes for its revamp.
Gem Museum on a weekday, Natural History at the weekend with children, Hell’s Museum for teenagers and adults. Three specialists, one question each, and none of them a walk-in.
