famous one being the surprising­ly graphic Ten Courts Of Hell, depicting the punishment­s that sinners endure. There are only three of these hellish gardens in the world, so it’s worth making the effort to this oddball theme park on a hill in Pasir Pajang. Admission is free, and the garden is open daily from 9am-5pm. 3. Sample the street food scene Eating out is a national past time in Singapore, with some of the best value meals to be found at hawker centres (food courts) dotted around the city. There are more than a hundred to choose from, housing close to 6000 food stalls, and for as little as SGD$5 (£3), you can sample an eclectic mix of Malay, Indonesian, Korean, Indian, Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese dishes. 4. Tuck into the world’s cheapest Michelin-star meal Aside from the scrumptiou­s street fare, the city also offers the world’s cheapest Michelin-starred meal. Located in Chinatown Complex on 335 Smith Street, the Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle was once a humble hawker stall, but after being awarded a Michelin star in 2016, it has become the go-to place for Chan Hon Meng’s world-famous chicken rice dish – which costs a mere SGD$3.80 (£2.20). 5. Grab some bargains Those wanting to splurge without reaching deep into their pockets can head over to SCAPE Marketplac­e (scape.sg/marketplac­e), just off Orchard Street. It’s open on Friday, the weekend, and public holidays from noon to 10pm, and sells clothes, accessorie­s and soft furnishing­s. For SGD$50 (£27), you can come home with a chunky necklace, a pair of flat shoes and a canvas tote bag with change to spare.
