Whew! It's hot out there! Almost as hot as our latest destination for Sites, Bites, and Sips! Grab your portable neck fan and join us in Singapore! This vibrant city-state offers a rich tapestry of architectural, cultural and culinary delights that captivate the senses and leave lasting memories. After recently producing a program in this "on fire" destination, here are some "snacks" from our latest adventure.
Singapore is a treasure trove of discoveries that tell the story of its diverse heritage and commitment to innovation. One of the most captivating sights is the stunning Gardens by the Bay. This futuristic park is home to the iconic Supertree Grove, where towering structures create a surreal landscape. The Gardens also feature the Flower Dome, the largest glass greenhouse in the world, showcasing a diverse collection of plants from different climates. Walking through the Cloud Forest, with its misty waterfall and lush vegetation, feels like stepping into another world.
From Michelin-starred street food to elegant fine dining, Singapore offers a gastronomic adventure and reflects its multicultural population, with influences from Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Peranakan cuisines. The top dish in Singapore? The must-try Hainanese chicken rice consists of tender poached chicken served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, accompanied by a trio of dipping sauces: chili, ginger, and dark soy sauce. Have this at a hawker center and really experience Singapore’s food culture just like the locals.
Cocktails anyone? No visit to Singapore is complete without indulging in the iconic Singapore Sling. This gin-based cocktail was created in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon, a bartender at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel. Designed to look like a fruit juice, it allowed women of the era to enjoy a drink in public without social stigma. Sip this refreshing cocktail and step back in time while enjoying the lux comforts of the Raffles Hotel.
Whether it’s an amazing sight, a delicious bite, or a delightful drink, relax, you'll find it in Singapore.
