When we think of a small budget, we rarely think of Singapore. And with good reason, the country that brings together so many different cultures now has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. But it has so much to offer! Singapore, the cute, the superb, the one that surprises and takes your breath away too - from the most beautiful viewpoints to the bucolic gardens, through the museums, walks and incredible restaurants, you don't need a full wallet to have a great time. If that can convince you to stay more than two hours on its soil during your next stopover... I'm just saying. A dozen hours of flight are needed to reach Singapore from Paris with Singapore Airlines. Luckily, the company was voted number one last year, the staff is very attentive, the meals are really good, I even manage to sleep and I land in the early morning, fresh as a daisy, ready to explore the city. To start, I head to visit the famous botanical garden., the only tropical garden in Asia recognized by Unesco. A true place of conservation and education, its small paths are lovely, the flowers smell like spring, and the majority of the garden is free - to observe the famous orchids that make its reputation, you will have to pay 15 Singaporean dollars, about ten euros. Perfect for getting acquainted with historical plantations. After that, I cross the street and head straight to Open Farm Commun.

Discover VeggiCity, an excellent hidden gem with a hyper-sourced and eco-responsible menu. Roasted cauliflower, baby potatoes, detox juice, tomato-strawberry salad to die for, and garden mushrooms with tahini, the herbs and microgreens are grown within the restaurant and the rest of the products are always local, it's a big yes. Enjoy in a vegetated and bright room for a countryside relaxation atmosphere with quality soundtrack.

A multicultural blend

The afternoon is all about exploring Tiong Bahru, the "new town", the trendy district of Singapore with its hipster cafรฉs. Once a cemetery transformed into public housing, it is now a vibrant area filled with shops, quaint houses, and charming boutiques where you could wander around endlessly. Feeling like a coffee break? Visit Toast Box, where you can customize your tea or coffee, select your sugar level, choose your milk... Kopi O, Kopi C, Yuan Yang, with helpful explanations to guide me through the various traditional coffees, I couldn't help but feel a bit proud ordering like a local. It's also here that I stumble upon my first hawker center, the local food court, and what a find! The hawker center holds a special place in Singaporean culture, so much so that it was recognized as a UNESCO heritage site in 2021. These enormous food halls (a total of 108, so not exactly on every corner, but close) are culinary meccas - a true...red table in the midst of what feels like a shopping center. Fast, efficient, delicious, and a popular choice for locals on their lunch breaks. The place is abuzz with people, bringing...

In Singapore, the cuisine is as diverse as its people. With influences from various cultures, religions, and traditions, you can experience a melting pot of flavors. Explore the vibrant Malay district of Kampong Gelam, where you can visit the stunning Sultan Mosque and wander through the colorful Haji Lane. Don't miss the chance to discover other iconic neighborhoods like Chinatown, with its narrow streets, shops filled with souvenirs, captivating murals, and historical temples like Tian Hock Keng and Buddha Tooth Relic; Little India, where you can immerse yourself in the sights and scents of Indian culture at the bustling Mustafa shopping center and flower market; and Katong and Joo Chiat Road, known for their charming shophouses that transport you to a bygone era. It's like taking a whirlwind tour of Asia in just one day. For a breathtaking view, head up to the rooftop garden at CapitaSpring, Singapore's newest landmark building. Enjoy the beauty and diversity of this multicultural city! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ

If you want to keep enjoying the amazing flavors of Singapore, you absolutely need to try Peranakan cuisine. Believe me, once you taste Singaporean curry, braised tofu, simmered vegetables, soups, and chestnut rice, you'll be hooked. The flavors are so rich and complex, the textures varied, and the spices give an extra kick. The fusion of Malay and Chinese influences is simply mind-blowing and always on point. Two must-visit spots are Whole Earth and Old Bibik, located in the Tanjong Pagar and Joo Chiat neighborhoods, offering menus that will satisfy and prices that won't break the bank. The food journey is truly delightful. And don't forget to visit Haig Road Putu Piring where you can indulge in the pure joy of biting into this traditional dessert. It's all about the putu piring. These small steamed rice flour cakes, flavored with pandan and filled with various fillings - I personally prefer cane sugar, but the adventurous can try durian - will leave a lasting impression on you. Enjoy!

Islands of calm and tranquility

Are you in need of a peaceful beach getaway? Look no further than Sentosa, the island located south of Singapore, which translates to "peace and tranquility". With beach volleyball courts, restaurants right on the sand, and beach clubs for some fun along Palawan Beach, there's no shortage of options for a great time. For a breathtaking panoramic view, I recommend climbing up the free high walkway before taking a train ride to catch the sunset at Sentosa Sensoryscape, the new multi-sensory light show that's completely free and perfect for a family outing. If you enjoy sound, water, and light performances, be sure to reserve some evenings to experience Spectra at Marina Bay, and Garden Rhapsody among the iconic illuminated supertrees of Gardens by the Bay - both of which are free to attend. Also, don't forget to visit the two famous domes that are a must-see for all tourists in Singapore, featuring stunning waterfalls, exotic plants, and more.

And lastly, I can't believe I almost forgot to mention this hidden gem earlier - there's a small island to the northeast of Singapore called Pul.au Ubin and it is a true hidden gem. You can reach it by a small boat.Maximum ten people, a few minutes of sailing, and there it is, the small wild and charming island where life is sweet, the inhabitants number 40 and the animals are the true rulers of the island. Grab a bike and go on an adventure, take the small paths, walk in the butterfly trail and have fun trying to recognize them all, observe the local wildlife with binoculars, drink fresh coconut water and eat its flesh with a spoon, in short, forget about time and take it, this time, like those who live here. With a bit of luck, you might cross paths with Kopi O, the small black and brown dog who reigns over Pulau Ubin, who loves to run alongside bikes and who personally takes care of going to fetch the tourists who get lost in the forest. That's also Singapore: kindness and a life that can be simple.lovely image.  Hello there! Welcome to our website. We hope you are doing well and enjoying your day.
