If you have time, check out the Singapore zoo at night. Well worth the visit.


Have been to the night zoo a few times, Lazza. Agreed, it's fabulous. The Singapore zoo, like Melbourne, is probably a model of what a good zoo should be.


Agreed. And if you havent already done this, go to the Quay area and have a Singapore chilli or pepper crab. Better than incredibly delicious!

Singpore is a bit too clean for me but I liked each of the few times I'ver been there in the last few years. For me, the tourist highlights included the two major botanical gardens & the orchid garden - breath-taking & stunning.

The Muslim area - for the sights, smells (at times) & food.

& aspects of China Town - although much too touristed these days.

I avoided the zoo (sorry Lazza) after reading a hilarious & sad entry on Trip Advisor last year by a guy from the UK about how tourists were simply ignoring the guides request not to take photo's, not to disturb the animals which they kept on doing during thus guy's entire trip with his wife to the said zoo.

Maxwell's food / hawker market has some great food. In Chinatown we found some great small places to eat. Prawn in Tofu hot pot & Pork hotpots were especially yummy. Of course it's hard to go past a good ol' chicken rice - the Chinese staple in Malaysia & Singapore.

I hadn't been bold enough to try Fish Head Soup, also a national / regional tour de force / tour de fare Wink

Have a good time, Mugwump


Thanks WPT, that all sounds like good advice. Unfortunately it's a work trip, so far too much will be spent in identikit meeting rooms but we'll escape for a few evenings and I'll try to hunt some of that down. I have heard that the fish head soup is fantastic, though I've never tried it, and I can confirm Lazza's advice that the chili crab at Clark Quay, eaten outside in the drowsy heat of the evening and washed down with a few tiger beers is one of life's pleasures.

How funny is it that one of Sydney's draftees had 'liked' several facebook pages labeling Adam Goodes as a wanker and as the flog of the year.

Almost as funny as the Carlton recruit who sledged Malthouse's coaching on twitter

It's ok, I'm sure their new clubs will beat any remaining individuality out of them. Razz
