Nab some delicious food on Boon Tat St.

Shop Orchard Rd
True shoppers, you'll need a day here. This 2.2km road is lined with luxury and high-street brands, bars and restaurants. Stay at Grand Park Orchard, around the corner from Top Shop.

Visit Gardens by the Bay
This multimillion-dollar eco garden project has 16 steel super-trees which are embedded with plants from rainforest to desert. Free light and sound show at 7.45pm and 8.45pm.

Night Safari
Kids and adults will love the Night Safari. The park opens at 7.30pm and begins with a Creatures of the Night show featuring nocturnal cats and other wildlife. Then hop on a tram and spy on the animals that come out to play.

Eat Satay
If you love peanut satay skewers then eat on Boon Tat St. Several satay huts line the street, which is closed to traffic each evening, and plastic tables and chairs dot the tarseal. Satays by the hundreds are hand cooked over coals and the smell is amazing. At 60c a stick, you'd be hard pressed to spend more than $15 on dinner.

Dempsey Hill
The former British Army barracks is now a hipster hangout with colonial-inspired bars and restaurants. Visit Chop Suey for dim sum.
