Like Asia in miniature, Singapore is an intoxicating blend of cultures and, of course, cuisines. Other than its top international restaurants, perhaps no other city on the Earth can lay claim to whipping up Malay, Chinese, Arabic and Thai favourites in its famous hawker centres day-in, day-out, with such aplomb. While it's true that chewing gums are illegal in Singapore, a fact that might make you cautious, the opening of the Marina Bay Sands leisure monolith alongside a slew of hot new nightspots is testament to Singapore's throbbing after-dark scene.
