Insider Knowledge

Essential Singapore Tips

Do not chew gum

Chewing gum is banned in Singapore. Importing it is a fine offence.

Hawker centres are the best value

A full meal at a hawker centre costs SGD 3–6. The food is often Michelin-quality.

Tap water is safe

Singapore has some of the best tap water in Asia — no need to buy bottled.

Jaywalk carefully

Jaywalking carries fines. Use pedestrian crossings — it's a genuine law.

Visit Changi Airport

Even if you're not flying — the Jewel waterfall and Terminal 3 butterfly garden are worth it.

Book Gardens by the Bay at sunset

The Supertrees light up at 7:45pm — arrive 30 minutes before for a good spot.
