Gardens by the Bay - Visit Marina Barrage afterward if u like.
Light show at Gardens By the Bay and Marina Bay sands!

Clarke quay - a place with restaurants and bars.

A visit to National University of Singapore, NUS!
Every Wednesday it is Ladies Night, which means all ladies get a free drink in the bar :) so it´s a good time visiting Marina Bay sands!

Chicken Rice
Satay
Char Kway Teow
Clay pot
Dim Sum (originally from Hong Kong)
Kaya Toast
These are just some famous dishes. There are different cuisines, such as Indian, Malay, Chinese, Japanese, Thai food...etc. so probably you will find something you like.
Try Local Ice cream and Bubble tea!
Wafer ice cream sandwiches - which u find on streets such as in Orchard.
Ice kachang - shivered ice with many different toppings.
Bubble tea
Travel to nearby countries!
It´s popular to visit Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, or/and Indonesia from Singapore. If there is one place you want to travel to from Singapore, I highly recommend Bali!!
