Kick-start start your day with a delicious and scrumptious Singaporean breakfast of kaya toast, runny eggs and a strong and sweet coffee at a local cafe.

Now that you are charged up, prepare for a day at the Singapore Zoo, which is considered the best rainforest zoo in the world. You will need at least three hours here.

Come evening, take a stroll along the banks of the Singapore River or hop onto a glass-top boat or bumboat. Tired after the long day? Just relax and enjoy a lip-smacking dinner at Clarke Quay overlooking the Singapore River. And if you still don’t want to call it quits, dance the night away at the peppy pubs and bars around!

Our recommendations: Once Upon a Thyme, Tamoya Udon, Fern & Kiwi, Peony Jade Restaurant

Day 2: Sentosa Island and Little India

Though not a beach destination, Singapore’s island getaway—Sentosa Island is packed with adventure, and has everything from world-class theme parks to an array of underwater sports. Delve into the magical marine world at the S.E.A. Aquarium, or indulge in thrilling rides at Universal Studios. Chic cafes and restaurants along the waterfront stretch of Quayside Isle are a cherry on the top and you can find some really delectable options for lunch here.

Our recommendations: Mosh Café, Sakae Sushi Sentosa, Trapizza at Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa, Joël Robuchon Restaurant, Cafe Del Mar

Little India, one of Singapore’s most vibrant districts, is best visited in the evening. A walk down the Serangoon Road and neighbouring streets will give you a glimpse of the unique blend of Hindu and Chinese cultures here. Need a shopping fix? Hit Mustafa Centre Mall which has everything from electronics to groceries, accessories and what not. Finally, unwind with dinner at a nice Indian restaurant.

The majestic Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum is a must-visit while you are here.

Head to Orchard Road late afternoon for a shopping spree, and grab a quick lunch at the food court located in Ngee Ann City's basement. From designer threads to fashion and art galleries, Orchard Road has everything. Ngee Ann City is the premier mall here, and shouldn’t be missed at any cost.

Now that you have had a crazy day, how about a nice and peaceful dinner to wrap up your Singapore vacation? You will find the best skyline views from Sands SkyPark at Marina Bay. Gamble away at the casino or enjoy an idyllic evening at the world class restaurants here.
