A New Itinerary for Singapore

My Trip to Instant Asia – 4 Experiences to Remember

Returning to Singapore, often hailed as “Instant Asia,” was a refreshing experience. This vibrant city-state is a perfect blend of modernity and tradition, making it an ideal destination for both tourism and hospitality. Here are four nonnegotiable experiences that made my trip unforgettable:

Marina Bay Sands SkyPark

Standing atop the iconic Marina Bay Sands SkyPark offers a breathtaking view of Singapore’s skyline. The infinity pool, exclusive to hotel guests, is a stunning spot to relax and soak in the panoramic views of the city and the South China Sea. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to experience luxury and the city’s architectural marvels.

Gardens by the Bay

This futuristic park spanning 101 hectares in the heart of the city is a green oasis. The Supertree Grove, Flower Dome, and Cloud Forest provide a unique blend of nature and technology. The light and sound show at the Supertree Grove is particularly mesmerizing and a perfect way to end a day of exploration.

Eat, Eat, Eat

Singapore is a food lover’s paradise. From hawker centers to high-end restaurants, the variety and quality of food are outstanding. My personal favorites include:

Maxwell Food Centre: Famous for its Hainanese seasoned rice.
Rasapura Masters at MBS: Known for its Singaporean local cuisine and drinks at affordable prices.
Kaya Toast with Kopi: A traditional breakfast that you must try.

Despite most people traveling to shed some pounds, I always gain a bit of weight due to the irresistible food. From coffee to brunch, drinks to dinner, dessert to hotel bedtime snacks while watching a late-night show or CNBC, food is an essential part of my travel experience.

Explore Novena

The Novena neighborhood in Singapore offers a unique blend of urban convenience and residential tranquility, making it an ideal spot for both visitors and locals. This vibrant area is known for its excellent healthcare facilities, including the famous Tan Tock Seng Hospital and a cluster of medical centers, which makes it a hub for medical tourism. Shopping enthusiasts can explore Novena Square, Velocity, and United Square, where a variety of retail stores, dining options, and entertainment facilities cater to diverse tastes. For those seeking a touch of history and culture, the nearby Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall offers an insightful look into the region’s historical connections.

When it comes to accommodations, Courtyard by Marriott Singapore Novena stands out as an excellent choice. This contemporary hotel provides guests with modern comforts and stunning views of the city skyline. The rooms are designed with a chic, minimalist aesthetic, ensuring a comfortable and stylish stay.

One of the highlights of staying at Courtyard Novena is the rooftop infinity pool, where guests can relax while enjoying panoramic views of the city. The hotel’s in-house restaurant, Sky22, offers a delightful dining experience with a menu featuring local and international cuisines.

Guests can also take advantage of the hotel’s strategic location to explore the surrounding area. Balestier Road, known for its rich history and famous food spots, is just a short walk away. Here, visitors can indulge in local delicacies like pandan kaya cake and tau sar piah (mung bean pastry). Additionally, Novena’s convenient MRT station provides easy access to other parts of Singapore, making it an excellent base for exploring the city’s many attractions.

Staying at Courtyard Novena in the Novena neighborhood provides a perfect blend of relaxation, cultural exploration, and urban convenience, ensuring a memorable experience in Singapore.

Why Singapore?

Singapore strikes the right balance between being bustling and serene. It is not overcrowded, making it a comfortable place to explore without the stress of navigating through dense crowds.
