It’s a city, island, state, and country all in one breath. Singapore is an extremely unique Southeast Asian enclave, its history as a trading settlement influencing all aspects of modern life in profoundly original ways. With a Peranakan population that comprises Chinese, Indian, and Malay descendants, its multicultural roots are obvious from the minute you step off the plane – in the architecture, in the food, on the street, and in the temples.
A profusion of colorful Peranakan “shophouses,” extraordinary Buddhist and Hindu temples, edgy skyscrapers, and colonial-era buildings infused with modern glamour.
Singapore is an excellent entry point for first-time visitors to Asia. This is due in part to an icing of English character, leftover from almost 150 years of British rule.
Wandering the different neighborhoods is time well spent. The whole city is an architect’s paradise, a profusion of colorful Peranakan “shophouses,” extraordinary Buddhist and Hindu temples, edgy skyscrapers, and colonial-era buildings infused with modern glamour. Along with Chinatown and Little India, jaunts through the design-forward concept stores and chic cafés of Tiong Bahru, and the eclectic boutiques and day spas of the Katong district should be high on your list. The same goes for Kampong Glam, the Muslim quarter.
Singapore has a number of green spaces to retreat to, too, including the Botanic Gardens, with its collection of orchids, and Gardens by the Bay, with its two biodomes and giant, tree-shaped towers.
Understandably, the cuisine here is an amalgamation of the cultures overlapping in inviting and delicious ways. Mod-Sin cuisine (short for Modern Singaporean) is a contemporary spin on traditional cooking. Do indulge at the “hawker stalls” lining the food courts, which serve comfort food such as chili crab and chicken rice. Each stall has a particular specialty – and two even have Michelin stars. This is just the kind of surprise you will find in Singapore at every turn.
