A little pricey but the ambience is worth it. Best night out: Zouk. I have the best time there, whether in Velvet Underground or in the main room. The best DJs play here and it just has the best clubbing atmosphere. Insider’s tip: When in a local setting, such as a hawker centre or on public transport, it is polite to address someone older than you (i.e. a taxi driver or hawker stall owner) as ‘Auntie’ or ‘Uncle’. Must-eats: Char kway teow (fried noodles with cockles), both Chinese- (a tossed salad in salty shrimp paste sauce) and Indian-style (red- and orange-coloured vegetables and seafood with an orange sauce) rojak, fi shball noodles and satay. Don’t miss local desserts like ice kachang and cheng t’ng. All these are found easily in local hawker centres. Favourite local festival: The Esplanade’s annual Mosaic Music Festival, which happens every March and features some of the best local and international talent. Best family outing: A picnic at the Botanic Gardens.
