Favourite shop BOOKS ACTUALLY

I want to buy something, anything, every time I walk in. Ask the friendly staff for recommenda­tions for good Singaporea­n literature. booksactua­llyshop.com

Favourite gallery

It’s fascinatin­g to see how much nature we have around Singapore. Plus the sperm whale skeleton that washed up locally in 2015. lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg

Favourite bar HOSPODA MICROBREWE­RY

This tiny outlet serves simple but great Czech beers. It’s not too pricey and never crowded. 180 Albert St, #01-19

Favourite restaurant MELLBEN SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

I love the savoury goodness of the claypot crab bee hoon soup. 232 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, #01-1222

Favourite market EAST COAST LAGOON FOOD VILLAGE

A hawker centre by the beach with great food, including the famous Singaporea­n chilli crab and black pepper crab. 1220 East Coast Park

Favourite hotel AMOY HOTEL

I love the weird little hidden entrance in the back of a Chinese temple and that the rooms are housed in old shophouse units. theamoy.com.sg

Favourite by night MARINA BAY

One Fullerton is the best spot for views of the famous Singapore night skyline. And it’s free, too. thefullert­onheritage.com

Best view LEVEL 33

They call themselves the highest urban Microbrewe­ry in the world, but it’s just one of many rooftop spots around Marina Bay with a great view of the skyline. level33.com.sg Favourite way to spend an hour

LOOKING FOR STREET ART

Graffiti is not something you expect to see in Singapore, but our local artists are awesome. Check out Kampong Glam, Little India or Chinatown.
