| The ideal day in Singapore: Start with breakfast at the Fullerton Hotel. No one can afford to actually STAY there, but it'd be fabulous to have breakfast like a pasha, and overlooking a stupendous view.
Relax. Maybe walk the five minutes to the Esplanade and partically work off your breakfast by walking along the river.
Then go to the very nearby Asian Civilisations Museum. When you're done, there are several restaurants right in the same building; have lunch there.
You're in Singapore: You have to do some shopping. I'd choose Little India for the riot of colors, smells, sounds, sights. Try to do this NOT on a weekend. Go to the amazing emporium Mustafa's--but, on weekends, the store is impossibly crowded. Check out the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road, and then go to nearby Race Course Road and look at the Temple, popularly called Buddha of 1,000 Lights. It's called that due to the many colored lights surrounding the 330-ton Buddha.
Go back to your hotel. Relax. Either: Go to the Singapore Night Safari, or take on a show and dinner at the Esplanade.
Night Safari: Get on a tram and get close and personal to the Singapore Zoo's wild animals. It's done very, very well. The only down side of this: No good restaurants here.
Esplanade show and dinner: All kinds of great restaurants at the Esplanade, both inside and outside and surrounding. Jes' go and check.
Toast the day's adventures with a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel--the outdoors bar is especially lovely. Overrated? Probably. Overpriced? Definitely. So what.
