Singapore is Asia's most expensive city for luxury living, not for a tourist who eats at a hawker centre* or a coffee shop, takes the public transport, buys his stuffs at a supermarket and stays in a hotel that provides only lodging. *Newton Hawker Centre and the one outside Botanic Gardens are for tourists.

I went to Singapore twice- one in 2008 and 2014. I stayed only stayed in either 4 or 5 star hotels. Way back then, they were affordable. But oh my gosh! I just wanted to book an overnight stay at Sg this time but even the 2 or 3 star hotels are so expensive for a family of 4! They're ranging from $300 and above. No breakfast and the hotels looked very meh! The ones I'd normally stay at are from $800 and above online via Booking, Agoda, etc....Luckily, I'm an IHG member and decided to book directly with the hotel. Guess what? I got us a really nice 4-star- hotel with 2 queen size beds, with breakfast included, and situated adjacent to the Orchard Rd! It pays to do your own research. And thank goodness I watched this reel one time saying that it's best to book directly with the hotels. I only paid $380 for this 4-star-hotel.

Hi Martin, great content you made for your 5 hour layover in singapore and i really enjoyed it. Did you use taxi or train ongoing after the maxwell food centre? I just want to make the most time during my 6 hour layover in Singapore. Also what time the latest you gave yourself to check in for departure. Thanks.

[@martinlhz]

Thank you!! I actually walked after visiting Maxwell! I only took a taxi from the airport to maxwell and then back to the airport after visiting the gardens! I got to the airport around 2 hrs before departure. Plenty of time! Changi is super efficient!

[@TypicalAsian517]

@@martinlhz awesome!!!! Did you use card or cash to pay taxi? Thanks

[@martinlhz]

@@TypicalAsian517 I actually used Grab! So it was all cashless

[@Hiitamebellax]

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but where did you put your luggage? Do they transfer it to your next flight?

[@martinlhz]

@@Hiitamebellax They transferred it to my next flight since it was on the same itinerary p.s. very valid question (not dumb at all)

[@mimate]

Was your layover really 5h or from living the airport to return to it was 5h?

[@martinlhz]

It was 5 hours in total leaving the from the airport and going back!

[@jasonw4523]

did you end up trying the biscoff mcflurry?

[@martinlhz]

Nope…I have major regrets just thinking about it

[@Cl0udStrife1996]

The average chicken rice in Singapore is actually closer to $3.50~$5, and sometimes $5.5 with a plate of vege. Glad u enjoyed the food in Singapore!

Most tourists always have Tian Tjan chicken rice just because Anthony Bourdain reviewed but it is just a ok chicken rice and not fantastic .

[@martinlhz]

If tian tian is just ok… then I can’t wait to try the “good” places 😋🤩
