Ni Hao, Apa Khabar and Vanakkam!! It was an absolute privilege for me to observe "Peace and Prosperity of SG" annual fun-filled event packed with exciting song performances, fireworks display, the setting of a Guinness World Record of the Largest Display of 720 Lion Dance, showcase of 54 Lamborghinis out of 300 in SG, outstanding Jazz performance by ladies band, Tessera, Rock concert and the lovely people, all around Durian Helmets!! I highly recommend everyone to stroll around starting from Boat Quay to Esplanade which is pleasant walk... they have some al-fresco dining available at the evening.. Enjoy!!

4. Lau Pa Sat Festival Pavilion

Reviewed By 404kaelp - Williamstown, Australia
Lau Pa Sat has a vast array of food stalls offering cuisines from around the world. The prices are very cheap, and the food was still very tasty. I would recommend seating in the middle of the market, as if you're on the outer ring you may be pestered by people trying to push their stall/dishes.
5. UOB
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 115 reviews

With a well-established global presence today and particularly in Asia, UOB has understanding of Asian markets, corporate culture and business mindsets, which is matched by few.

Not a customer of UOB but dropped by the visit the UOB Painting of the Year Exhibition. Stunning works on display of various mediums - including leather - stunning work of faces by Somchai Sidamon. Another entitled wastescape depicts space waste - intriguing and masterfully created by Chaichana Luetralun. Plenty of other art works that are equally attractive. Clearly a lot of talent on display. Opposite on the ground floor is Paris Baguette - I had a nice lunch there. As you exit the building onto UOB Square you will see a massive sculpture by Salvador Dali - an artists delight. Great visit.

Visiting this place both in the day and in the night gives you a sense of accomplishment. In the day you can walk along the waterfront and snap some nice souvenir pictures of the Singapore Icon, The White Merlion overflowing water splashing into the sea. Along the waterfront are food joints and drinks cafes. There are quite a nice selection of food and drinks including Seafood. In the night, you will see a variety of beautiful colourful Merlion depicting various Singapore Places Of interest in the form of light rays shining on the Beautiful Merlion. It is definitely cooler walking along the waterfront and enjoying the night scenes around it, including getting ready your camera for some nice shots of the surrounding sceneries from the Waterfront. Hope you have A great time there. Ad.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. The suite was beautiful and in keeping with the hotels era. The butler service was very good, the staff through out the hotel were attentive, friendly, polite and helpful. The bed comfortable, a pillow menu allowing for a change if desired. An elegant bathroom. Comfortable chairs and a table on the balcony to look at the garden, was very peaceful. Breakfast in the Tiffin Room was extensive and encompassing both eastern and western food, served promptly in lovely surroundings. Altogether a perfect stay for our 50th wedding anniversary. All the little extras to help us celebrate were much appreciated. The pool area was also a popular spot with us, reminiscent of a by gone era.
8. Marina Barrage

Be captivated by the bright lights of the Singapore Flyer and the Central Business District skyline against the sky at sunset, reflected in the still waters of the Marina Barrage. This Reservoir in the City was created with three key benefits, to provide water supply, flood control and a lifestyle attraction.
Reviewed By linwangtan - Hong Kong, China
Nonetheless, it is still quite an enjoyable experience. On really sunny days, consider bringing an umbrella, lots of sunblock, or even a portable fan. My only qualm is that it is really difficult to get to by public transport. There is a shuttle bus from the MRT, but the frequency is pretty low, so you might have to take a car or drive.
