Along the way, enjoy a local brunch of kaya toast, steamed Chinese rice rolls, Malay curry puffs and local beverages at a local cafe.

We had an amazing morning with PS exploring some hidden spots on Orchard Road. Even though we are Singaporeans and thought we knew out country well, PS had so many incredible stories to tell. Who knew that Albert Einstein was connected to Singapore! Thank you for making our staycation so much more enjoyable!

2. Drinks of Singapore

Starbucks, 252 North Bridge Rd, #01-46/47/48 Raffles City, Singapore 179103 Tribe

Finally! A not too serious tour about teh tarik, bandung, Singapore's NEWater and the famous Tiger Beer. Learn how these came to be. Highlight: A DIY cocktail making session at a scenic rooftop bar. Sorry to disappoint if you think this is a cocktails, beer and liquor fest. There's plenty of that too. But we first bring you to a sobering cornerstone of the Singapore water story by introducing you to the Singapore Marina Barrage. A magnificent engineering feat that acts as a flood control system through the crest gates of the dam, but also now as a lifestyle attraction.

Inclusions: Alcoholic Beverages, Coffee and/or Tea

Did a Forefathers Chinatown Tour with my family last week. Angel, our tour guide, shared many interesting historical facts of Chinatown which I have not previously known. The wall murals by Yip Yew Chong are beautiful as they reflect scenes from the past. Angel was also patient and attentive as my kids took turns to fuss and we had to take a few pit stops. It's a fresh experience being a tourist in my own country, and a wonderful time chatting with Angel too! I look forward to attend the other tours in the near future!
