Scotland 2012 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Lux Java Black

Drink beer in the long bar at Raffles Hotel, throw monkey nuts on the floor.
Shop on Orchard Road, good electronics
Eat and drink at the harbour.
Eat seafood on the beach, try the pepper crab, and drunken prawns
Take ferry to Nongsa Point in Indonesia from Changi point ferry terminal, 30 mins. Nice Marina and wooden huts on the beach.

Great place, enjoy Andrew

Australia 2010 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White

late night drink at Bar New Asia on level 69/70 of the swissotel to get a very excellent view of night time Singers

Chilli/Pepper Crab at one of the hawker markets, or maybe boat quay, which is a bit of a tourist trap, but good for an early evening drink at one of the many expat bars, Harrys, Penny Black etc,

Head to the Casino, sorry resort Whistle

Maybe head to Sentosa, a few resorts opened up there now..

If you want a very sleazy time there is always orchard towers Rolling with laughter just don't take the wife Shocked known locally as the four floors of .....

Really depends what floats your boat i suppose

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

One thing not to miss is the Night Safari at Singapore Zoo http://www.localsingaporetours.com/product..._specific, arrive early and have a meal for $5 at the all you can eat buffet at the entrance then board the train that snakes through the zoo where you see the animals being fed at sunset. It doesn't sound very "adult" but I have recommended going to my colleagues when they stay a couple of days in Singapore before flying home. Every one of them has emailed back to say that they really enjoyed the evening, well worth doing once. BTW Singapore Slings at Raffles - take out a 2nd mortgage they are breath takingly expensive and they don't even make them on the spot they just measure the drink out of a bucket under the bar.................. sorry to spoil it but the Long Bar at Raffles is seriously over-rated and over priced - $25 for a glass of non-descript fruit juice and gin is a rip off. Even worse it isn't the original Long Bar, is a new one built when they remodelled the hotel!
For an out-door meal Chinese style then walk down to Lau Pa Sat http://www.laupasat.biz/ down near Finger Pier at Tanjong Pagar - lots of small stalls selling Satay and Oriental food, sit under a huge concrete umbrella and on concrete stools. The seafood place mentioned elsewhere is along the West Coast Parkway at the Hawkers Lagoon and is a great place to eat, there is now a subway station not far away at Bedok getting in is usually the problem though http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?client...5949402933
Orchard Towers................. lol, take the wife too just don't take her to the 7th floor! The Singapore authorities are also trying to return the old atmosphere to Bugis Street too if you want to do that sort of thing on a visit to S'pore.
The National Orchid Collection at the Botantical gardens is also worth a visit - some of the orchids are so rare they have have security guards! The Tiger Balm garden is also a nice place to go to get away from the hustle and bustle of Singapore, but a walk in the Botanical Gardens will get you away from 90% of the traffic noise 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW
