Ask any person who’s been to Singapore what they love most about the country and the answer will most likely be one of three things: the food, the shopping, or the attractions. While all are valid in their own right, these reasons are only the tip of the iceberg and with my previous trips to SG, I must admit that I'm slowly discovering the rest of the iceberg.
Known as the home of underground shopping malls, Michelin-star and celebrity-chef restaurants, architectural wonders, and some of the first, newest or biggest attractions in the world, Singapore is also a country that offers visitors just as many options after dark as it does when the sun is up. Whether it’s grooving to the beats at one of the many world prestige clubs or downing designer shots and bespoke cocktails at hidden bars, guests will find a vast range of options to keep them coming back for more. Singapore promises a night to remember for friends, couples, and families seeking exciting, meaningful experiences, with a host of remarkable events lined up for the next few months.

Ethan Leslie Leong of Maison Ikkoku is one the the famous mixologists in SG When I first visited Singapore in 2010, locals always mention Clarke Quay for nightlife, bands and booze. Now, as Singapore strengthen its position in the entertainment and party market, I realized that there are plenty of places I should visit aside from Clarke Quay and SkyPark at MBS.
After attending the party hosted by Singapore Tourism Board at 71 Gramercy, I get tips from the locals where we should go for some drinks and gimmick when we are in Singapore.

You can also choose to spend the night sampling creatively delightful cocktails crafted by award-winning mixologists such as Peter Chua of 28 Hong Kong Street, Jeff Ho of Jekyll & Hyde and Ethan Leslie Leong of Maison Ikkoku, or explore the exclusive speakeasies such as the password-protected, The Library; the unassuming basement-level location of B28, and the hidden bar serving unique American craft spirits, The Secret Mermaid. Want to party hundreds of feet in the air? Then head over to one of the city’s wildly popular rooftop bars like Loof, Lantern, or 1-Altitude, which towers over the city at a full 282 meters.
“Whatever kind of entertainment you are in the mood for – be it watching live music concerts or festivals, musicals or plays, or drinking it up at hidden speakeasies – Singapore is a must-visit destination to experience high quality entertainment content,” expressed Mr. Adrian Kong, Area Director, Philippines & Brunei, Singapore Tourism Board. “In particular, we hope Filipinos will get a chance to experience the slew of local and international nightlife offerings and events for a fun-filled vacation,” concluded Mr. Kong.
Teeming with places to explore and experiences to remember, Singapore will bring something new to even the most experienced traveller. So book a ticket, pack your bags, open your mind, and get ready to experience where the world is heading. It just might be your best weekend ever!
 Straight from Changi, I took the airport shuttle bus service which brought me to Chinatown. Pagoda St. was the first local destination I explored during my first vacation in Singapore. | THROWBACK: My first ever international travel led me to Singapore. In between stressful events, I managed to take a quick break and picked Singapore as my perfect destination. Why? Well, I find SG manageable to visit even for first time traveler like me who doesn't have time to plan and research about the place. Singapore is a fine country,tourist friendly and their Singapore Tourism Board's Visitors Center is really helpful. Since then, I think SG is my most visited country in ASEAN.  |
