14 Must-Visit Attractions in Singapore Charm and Food in Singapore – Little New York

Singapore is an exciting country where you can get an Asian New York vibe with a multinational vibe. I am amazed by the development of this country. It is also paying attention to cultural fields such as art and architecture, and constantly trying advanced things. It is a very pleasant trip to enjoy unique Asian cuisine in Singapore. We will introduce how to enjoy sightseeing spots and food in Singapore. Use it as a reference if you are thinking about going to Singapore, or if you have never been to Singapore but are interested in what kind of place Singapore is.

Singapore is a very small country, about the size of Tokyo’s 23 wards, located near the equator at the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula. It is a hot and humid tropical rainforest climate all year round, and there are many squalls that rain in a short period of time, which is very comfortable. It’s an easier place to spend than Hong Kong and Macau during the hot season. The best time to travel to Singapore is generally all year round. For example, various events such as F1 are held throughout the year, making it a popular tourist destination for people from many Asian countries as well as Europeans and Americans. It would be interesting to go to Singapore alone, but I think it would be interesting to use Singapore as a base and explore the surrounding Southeast Asia.

A food court resembling a food court with many stalls where you can eat a variety of dishes is a must-visit in the Singaporean food scene.

Orchard Road is the number one shopping district in Singapore, with large shopping malls and luxury brand stores such as ION Orchard and Paragon Shopping Centre.

There is also a nice hawker center at the basement of ION Orchard, which looks very convenient and popular.
