    The National Gallery Singapore is a must-visit for art enthusiasts! The collection of Southeast Asian art is impressive, and the building itself is a beautiful blend of historic and modern architecture. I especially loved the interactive exhibits and the stunning views from the rooftop. A truly enriching experience!

    I originally passed this building on the Hop on - Hop off bus.
    It’s eye catching. The outside is a spectacle of Art Deco architecture and Great Sculptures.
    On returning to have a closer look, the interior is even more amazing.
    Apparently the locals call it the Batman building and it does feel like you’ve walked into a Gotham City movie set.
    The Bar Restaurant within looks fantastic.
    A must see for those who love Art Deco and just for the architecture in general.

    The houses are very unique and cute. We just took a Grab (Uber) to get there. Get your camera ready to take amazing pictures. Grab a bite to eat after your visit. There is a great authentic food court.
    Enjoy your visit and the food.

    We would thoroughly recommend booking a tour to see NUS Baba House, a restored Peranakan house. The tour starts at 10am & they request you arrive beforehand. The area around this house is also Peranakan, so worth a mooch. The tour was about an hour but the guide made it so interesting & informative. I would say the best tour we have taken across SE Asia.

    As the first public housing project, Tiong Bahru has a lower population density compared to the newer housing projects.
    I made a visit to this charming estate on Raya Haji.
    Fortunately it was a clear day and Tiong Bahru's whitewashed, three-storey apartments looked splendid in the sunlight.

    I didn't manage to find many murals, but I will be back to look for them!

    I had attended several seminars and exhibitions at Suntec City Convention Center and that at Singapore EXPO but this was my first time here for a security conference.

    Sands Convention Center is located beside the Sands Casino so it is attractive to foreign delegates who may want to try their luck at the casino. The surrounding attractions are also gorgeous: Gardens by the Bay, the Esplanade, Shenton Way, and the city's financial hub are right here.

    Singapore EXPO is remotely far not very centralized. But all three are easily accessible through public transportation. I prefer Suntec City as it is nearer my house.

    I like the christmas decoration here. Although there are several exhibition halls but they are not structurally separated. I came for the security conference at Room A but I can still venture to other exhibition halls to view their displays. I like visiting each booths to learn their products and how the products are useful to solve our work problems.

    The buffet food catered for the audience and participants is also pretty healthy and sumptuous.

    Conducive environment, good food and a lot of new knowledge to learn and update.

    Will look out for future conferences and seminars to attend here.

    It’s a great vibe in the area with all the street art and a unique building with some exquisite detail to take in. Worth a walk through but perhaps not a purposeful journey.

    Beautifull building and the oldest existing fire station in Singapore and also houses the Civil Defence Heritage Gallery. The Gallery is open for public tours each Saturday, 9.00am & 10.00am, unfortunately we arrived too late to participate and had to be satisfied with external views with other tourists. The building has been constructed in Edwardian style architecture with red and white stripe features; these are reminiscent of Moorish architecture that we sighted in southern Spain. The building dates to 1918 and has been recognised as a National Monument since 1998.

    This is a very cool old building. It looks very british to me. It's very cool that it is located in a far east locale. Very nice.

    Despite the distance from our stay at JEN Orchardgateway, we made it a point to visit this place as it had always been on my bucket list. The main attraction was the vibrant and picturesque row of colorful houses, perfect for capturing stunning photos for your Instagram feed.

    I was here for a private event one evening and it provided the perfect venue for a large gathering. The food was top notch in terms of both presentation and flavour, the staff were great with the roaming drinks service throughout the evening and the general atmosphere was spot on. Of course one of the selling points at this venue is the terrace and location across the bay, which never disappoints.

    Come the end of the night the staff seemed a little confused about whether they were still permitted to serve / sell additional drinks, to the point where many people just gave up, but otherwise it’s a prime venue in a superb location.
