BEST BREAKFAST: Start the<br />
day at the quaint L’etoile café,<br />
which has a Singapore 1970s feel.<br />
Order the to-die-for duck sandwich<br />
before taking a stroll down Little India<br />
to work off the meal.<br />
SURVIVAL TIP FOR<br />
TOURISTS: It’s almost<br />
impossible to get a taxi during peak<br />
hours so rely on our extensive<br />
subway network.<br />
UNUSUAL FACT: Most citizens<br />
do not speak our national<br />
language, Bahasa Melayu, but we’ve<br />
invented and are united by a language<br />
we call Singlish!<br />
MOST ROMANTIC SPOT: Get<br />
away from the crowd. Take a<br />
quiet walk across the Southern<br />
Ridges towards Mount Faber. End<br />
the walk with a nice dinner at The<br />
Jewel Box.<br />
