Singapore evening

We will have one night in Singapore. What should we do? Ride the giant ferris wheel? Hire a guide? Wander a night market? What roof top bar will provide the best view?

Will cabs take a Credit card?

Go to Sentosa Island and see the light show, then go to the Hawker Food market on the roof of Vivo Shopping Mall.

Marine Bay Sands Hotel, roof top for a gigantic view.

Pay cash in cabs.

I also like the idea of Sentosa Island.

Some people may recommend the night safari. I did it once and thought it was just so so.

you might like to go to Chinatown, where they close a street and set up stalls for evening meals. We ate at a nearby brick building full of food stalls, which was cheaper. I picked the longest queue and had a memorable meal of chicken and rice (only choice). I later learnt this shop, which is famous for its good food, has one hat.

We also loved the light show with the cranes at Sentosa Island. Also the light show in the giant trees at Gardens By the Bay. The Marina Bay Sands Hotel rooftop has amazing views day and night.

Going to the zoo at night it quite special. Many animals are nocturnal, but most zoos (around the world) close at night). Singapore is a wonderful exception.

Thanks for the great tips.

Will taxis take Credit Cards and are there Van like vehicles for 6 adults?

Not all taxis take creit cards, those that do accept them do not take all cards. Also there can be a 10% surcharge for their use. Taxi drivers do not like to tacredit cards as it can be up to two weeks bere they are imbursed.

Get cash from a ATM. Any Singapore $ can be changed back either at Changi or cruise terminal.

Vans are available but have to normally be pre-booked.

Singapore has Uber which only takes credit cards.

We enjoyed watching the free light show across the harbour which we watched from outside the Marina Bay Sands shopping mall. Just follow the crowds.

The metro in Singapore is very easy to use. Safe, clean and staff are very helpful.

A trip to Singapore wouldn't be complete (at least for us) without eating at Lau Pa Sat...for the best satay ...they start this amazing offering at 6:30pm nightly where they close off a street...Google Lau Pa Sat to see what you don't want to miss.

Researching my next visit, I came across the name -

Chinatown Complex, 335 Smith Street, Chinatown. It is near the Buddha Tooth Temple. Favourite stall is H K Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodles #02-127 from 10.30 am (Michelin Star Hawker Stall).

The choice of Chinese food available at stalls in this complex is enormous.

Keep these great tips coming.

Is a river ride a "must do"

what about the giant ferris wheel or observation deck!

Maybe a drink at Marina Bay Sands Hotel would be a better option for great views.

It will be a Sunday night, does that make a difference?

I think Marina Bay Sands Hotel is better to look at, from a distance, as great architecture, rather than to go up for a drink and the view. It cost $17 S. single admittance for Senior in 2012. The museum downstairs is interesting architecture as well.

Gardens by the Bay is illuminated twice a night.

I thought HK Soya is only open for lunch?

Ditto Night Safari- great fun.

Most taxi do take credit cards but best ask them before you board. There are also Limo Taxi which charges a flat fare of sgd$50 per trip. Get the Grab taxi app may be useful if you going to a few places otherwise lots of Taxis around.

If you opt for Sentosa, you can do only one light and sound show. The one we saw was very enjoyable.

If you want to try for two, check the timings at Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. We watched the Gardens one first, then turned around and hurried into the Marina Bay one for the full show there.

Of the three, the Gardens is probably the least exciting, but pretty enough nonetheless.
