The 10 Best Things to do in Orchard Road, Singapore

June 2, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

This is a gem located at ION Orchard. The collection of whisky is made possible by a wealthy hobbyist and his passion for whisky. It must costs him a small fortune to set up and maintain his collection. For sure he is not making money from retailing but possibly through appreciation of his collection. As my wife doesn’t drink much, we opted for the $79 tour for her and the $199 for myself. At the end of the tour we sampled 2sets of 3 whisky. We were guide through the tasting very professionally. It was amazing how a drop of water to the whisky could have a profound change on the palate. Even my wife who is not a drinker found the experience very Worth the money spent. The tour on the collection was conducted very professionally by our guide, Kavila, a Nepalese turned Singaporean. It was truly educational as Kavila is very knowledgeable and articulate.

Plaza Singapura

Some key stores in Plaza Singapura include John Little, Yamaha and Spotlight, and its multiple dining options ensure that you’ll be well-fed. You can also satisfy your entertainment needs with a large Golden Village cinema on the top floor.

Reviewed By CoolHospitality - Tokyo, Japan

This place is always happening even on weekday evenins as well as whole days on weekends. It has many good restarants on each floor as well as the food court on the top floor. Also, they have Mark & Spencer & Daiso as well as many well-known high-, mid- & low-end shops in addition to the movie theater on the top floor. I strongly recommend this place, and, though it is directly above Doby Ghaut MRT Station, you can access the mall by about a little more than 10-minute walk from Sommerset MRT Station as well.
