    Huge thanks to the Singapore Tourism Board:

    FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO:
    Hotels:
    -Hotel 81 (multiple locations…good budget hotel options. Not fancy, but clean with a private bathroom)
    -Beary Best! Hostel (Chinatown)
    Food:
    Below are some of my favorite places…all highly recommended, but honestly…the key is to find a stall with a long line of locals…that’s the best indication of what’s good. It’ll be worth waiting for:)
    Featured Hawker Centres:
    -Maxwell Food Centre
    -Old Airport Road Food Centre
    -Chinatown Complex
    -Tiong Bahru Market
    -Lau Pa Sat Food Court (Specifically the satay stalls on the street outside the main centre)
    -Chinatown Food Street
    Featured Food Stalls:
    Maxwell Food Centre:
    -Ah Tai Chicken Rice (THE BEST)
    -Tian Tian Chicken Rice
    -Zhen Zhen Porridge
    -Marina Bay Delicious Foods (Get their Char Kway Teow)
    Old Airport Road:
    -Roast Paradise (Char Su with Pork Rice)
    -Xin Mei Xiang Zheng Zong Lor Mee
    Chomp Chomp Food Centre:
    -Ah Hok Fried Hokkien Noodles (there can be a long wait for this stall)
    -Hai Wai Yuan BBQ (Sambal stingray)
    Chinatown Complex:
    -Lian He Ben Ji Claypot Rice (Mixed claypot)
    -Jia Ji Mei Shi (Get the Chee Cheong Fun)
    -Hawker Stan (There will be a long line starting before 10AM)
    Lau Pa Sat:
    -Stall 8 on Satay street (Stall #8 is by far the best of them)
    Little India:
    -Komala Vilas Vegetarian Restaurant (Order anything and everything…but I come here for the Dosai…but seriously…everything is amazing)
    -Jaggi’s Northern Indian Cuisine (Again…everything is incredible. I love the butter chicken, and make sure to get some of their incredible made-to-order naan bread)
    Tiong Bahru:
    -Loo’s Hainanese Curry Rice (just…friggin’ delicious. Definitely go here if you’re in Tiong Bahru)
    Tiong Bahru Bakery (Everything here is great…the croissants in particular are flaky and perfect)
    Spago:
    Top of Tower 2 at Marina Bay Sands. Good drinks and very good food…great views of the city. The menu is super spendy. But it’s one of the best burgers in the city.
    THINGS TO DO:
    -Gardens By the Bay
    www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en....
    -Singapore Botanic Gardens (& Orchid Garden)
    www.nparks.gov.sg/sbg
    -Marina Bay Sands
    www.marinabaysands.com
    -Sentosa
    www.sentosa.com.sg
    -Lazarus Island (catch the Ferry to St. John’s Island at the Marina South Pier and walk to Lazarus…follow the signs to the beach. NOTE: The boat stops at the very cool Kusu Island for an hour on the return trip…make sure to check out the cute little turtle sanctuary)
    www.islandcruise.com.sg/ferry-...
    -Night Safari (at the Singapore Zoo. NOTE: Tickets are cheaper if you buy them online)
    www.wrs.com.sg/en/night-safari/
    Neighborhoods:
    Chinatown (Specifically Keong Said Road and Duxton Hill)
    Little India
    Orchard Road
    Arab Street & Haji Lane
    Tiong Bahru
    Marina Bay
    NOT FEATURED IN THE VIDEO BUT PLACES I STILL LOVE:
    Food:
    -Kok Sen (On Keong Saik Road in Chinatown…local hangout with super authentic fantastic Chinese food)
    -Tong Heng Bakery (in Chinatown…make sure to get the delectable egg tarts)
    -Albert Street Prawn Noodle Soup (at Old Airport Road Food Centre)
    -Song See Fish Noodles (at Lau Pa Sat)
    -Carrot Cake at Chomp Chomp Food Centre (not at all what you think it is…it’s a savory dish of rice flour…get the “black” version…it has more flavor)
    -Golden Mile Claypot Rice
    -Tiong Bahru Meng See (on Chinatown’s Food Street…get the Roast Duck over noodles)
    -328 Katong Laksa (a little spendy for laksa, but very popular, spicy, and delicious)
    -Sungei Road Laksa (More local and cheaper, but equally excellent Laksa)
    -Samy’s Curry Restaurant
    -No Signboard Seafood (my favorite chili crab in the city…note: Chili crab can be very expensive…make sure to check the price upfront so you’re not surprised)
    -JB Ah Meng (White Pepper Crab)
    -Rider’s Cafe
    -Lucy’s BBQ (at Chomp Chomp Food Centre)
    -Finally…I also love the Golden Mile Food Centre, and the Adams Road Food Centre
    Things to do:
    -The Treetop Walk at the MacRitchie Reservoir is very cool
    -Take a boat ride in the Marina
    -Check out the Marina Barrage…it’s a very cool roof-top park where people fly their kites
    Some of my favorite Mid-range Hotels (not featured in the video) are:
    -The Dorsett
    -The Amoy
    -Wanderlust Hotel
    -Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay
    (But my best hotel advice is to just search Hotels.come, Expedia, etc to find the best deals for the days you’re going…read guest reviews and look at guest pictures.
    Also…if you can handle tight spaces and don’t mind a shared bathroom, you can stay at CUBE Capsule Hotel…it’s actually a pretty cool experience. And of course…there’s always AirBnB)

    Speaking as a Singaporean, your enthusiasm and coverage of the hawker food is more Singaporean than most Singaporeans's. You also get credit for showcasing the authentic hawker centers from the 1970s - 80s that the founding generation grew up with. I hereby confer upon you the title of 'Honorary Singaporean'.

    • @MattsTravelTips
      @MattsTravelTips  Před 5 lety +3

    Hey Matt my girlfriend and I have been to Singapore 2 weeks ago. We managed to visit and taste nearly everything you’ve mentioned in this video and I cannot thank you enough for your tips. Keep on going. I’m really looking forward to the day you hit a million subscribers, because you really deserve it. Greetings from Germany.

    I came to Singapore almost a month ago and I have started loving this place so much now. People who come here as a tourist appreciate the attractions here and go! but when you actually live here as a commuter and experience Singapore from the core is when you realize how good the people are here, it has a beautifully and thoughtfully crafted infrastructure. The concept of food courts is so amazing, you get a healthy and tasty meal for around 5 SGD. Most importantly the crime rate is almost zero and people are so peaceful. LOVE SINGAPORE.

    • @MattsTravelTips

    The 'Singapore Flyer' is a ferris wheel on the far side of the Sheares Bridge at Raffles Avenue. It is frequently criticized and is expensive. There are heaps of other options for views and vantage points of Singapore. If you're staying in a highrise hotel (and there's _lots_ of them in Singapore) you'll probably get just as good a view from your window as you would from the Flyer. Other ideal spots for views and filming/photography are the Jubilee Bridge, the Benjamin Sheares Bridge and the rooftop of the Marina Bay Sands. A walk across the Jubilee Bridge, which runs alongside Esplanade Drive near the Merlion statue, Is a bucket-list must-do... and, yes, it often rains heavily in the afternoon in Singapore.

    I've studied there, worked there and I have to say, this is one of the best videos about SGP.
    You've explained just enough so that the visitors can go to these neighborhoods and create their own memories rather than following any set pattern which most vloggers do.
    Top job, Matt

    I've been watching a lot of travel videos of Singapore because my stepson is working there right now, and we'll be visiting soon. I've actually been there on stopovers a few times, but this year is the first time I'll be spending more than 1/2 a day. Anyway, I have to agree with the other commenters. This is one of the best videos I've seen. Very helpful, and you seem to really enjoy and appreciate the culture. Best of luck to you.

    +Matt's Travel Tips ! Love your style sir! I live 5 hours south in Perth, Western Australia and have to say that Singapore is my home away from home.
    You missed my favourite Hawkers centre... The East Coast Lagoon Food Village... adjacent to the ECP: South of the East end of Marine Parade. Further the one other food that you must try is CKT Char kway teow, literally "stir-fried ricecake strips". Bloody magnificent food. Thanks for a great video and I'll finish up saying you are right. Singapore (Lion City) is Effing hot and you will sweat like a sauna if outside. Keep up the great work mate!

    • @MattsTravelTips
      @MattsTravelTips  Před 6 lety +5

    @tomwells936 Před 5 lety +16

    Excellent video with a lot of great tips. Have been to Singapore numerous times but missed out on a number of your recommendations. I still think Singapore Chilli Crab has to be included in the list of must do's - sensational dish that is worth the coin and the experience. Thanks Mat.

    • @MattsTravelTips
      @MattsTravelTips  Před 5 lety +3

      Tom Wells So glad you liked the video! And yes...agree about Chili Crab...it’s completely delicious. I mostly didn’t feature it because I wanted to focus more on the affordable food in Singapore in this vid, and most of the places I’ve had great chili crab (like no signboard) are a little spendy.
      All the best!

    WOW! This is my second (business trip) to Singapore and your recommendations are fabulous - especially enjoy the food focus because that is what I am all about. Thanks much for detailing in the comments.
    It IS hot, and humid but air conditioned coolness is always nearby. Public transportation is efficient, frequent and not costly at all. New for you, Matt - Jewel Changi airport - I thought it was an art exhibit and I was so wrong - it appears to be its own city within a city.
    Highly recommend for anyone interested in Singapore to watch this.
    My flight was 25 hours. From Atlanta. Airfares not too costly, either.

    I snorted when you described what your ideal heaven would look like -- in the form of a hawker centre in Singapore. HAHA! As a Singaporean myself, I came across this video (wanting to see what other tourists think of our country), and I'm absolutely delighted to have watched your take on it. It makes me real proud and happy that you enjoyed your stay so much here, and do come back again! :D Thanks for your wonderful content! (heading to Bangkok myself in a couple days and watched your video on it too, hope I'll like it as much as you did)

    I'm planning on taking a trip to Doha, Qatar (on Qatar Airlines), and adding this leg from Doha to Singapore is only another $350... round trip from Philly. I didn't need any further temptation to make the extra leg on my trip, but your video helped cement it. I'm going to do a little more research on Singapore, but I really appreciate your video to tempt my senses that were already tempted.:) ty.:)
