Singapore is known as one of the best cities in Asia (and in my opinion, the world!), but it does come at a hefty enough price tag. If you are traveling here as a tourist, expect that things will cost substantially more on a whole compared to the rest of South East Asia. But having said that, there are some ways to make it more budget friendly, so come join me for a day of touring around and checking out some of the most popular tourist attractions to see just how much I spend in a day in Singapore!

People try to predict the economy not realizing it is not a capitalistic market, its a command economy, central planning! my concern is, instead of having much dollar in bank that could lose value to inflation, do I save in gold to reserve and grow wealth for now, or just hang on?
@ShaniRajak-iy6jn
@ShaniRajak-iy6jn 2 ай бұрын
truth is that gold serves as an inflation hedge in the long run, but not profitable in the short run. only thing you can predict is a strong effort of wealth transfer from the people to the powerful. luckily some folks find solution in financial advisors

I wholeheartedly concur; I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1,250,000 in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little amount of money in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by invt-advisors can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.

Singapore is clean, efficient, and organized. Cost of living is high but not unreasonable. I can never stay there for more than a week. Not because of cost, but because it’s a boring, conservative city with an obsession with strict rules and regulations. The food there though, is fantastic.

If you're a big fan of walking and wandering in a city, Singapore can be the place for you. What you're really paying for in Singapore is something that most countries in Southeast Asia CANNOT offer : A quiet, extremely SAFE place to walk and wander without having to worry about anything. I agree that hotels are insanely expensive. But public transport is very, very affordable, and hawker food is very, very cheap and very good. There are always good things and bad about any city. Singapore is no exception.

@@TheReluctantCoder People do honk in Singapore especially in the morning and evening peak hour traffic. Some sports cars and motorcycles have loud exhaust pipes that can be heard from afar. Imagine living in mature HDB estates where cars are park openly alongside the service road and exhausts from vehicles can be heard at 2-3 am in the morning. This is a common occurrence in Singapore because land is so limited that some parking spaces are next to bedrooms.

Yes, I've been to Singapore, but that was 6 years ago, and I've forgotten what I spent, but I'm sure it was double what you spent at the very least. I shared a reasonably nice hotel so even split three ways, it was a lot more than your hostel. I really enjoyed my time there and would go back in a second, if I can work it out. I'm really glad you got to do the Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck, and that you enjoyed your time there. It is one of my favourite memories of Singapore. It looked somewhat overcast when you were there. I got lucky with clear day with a spectacular sunset. On the other hand I also experienced that hardest rain storm of my life there. Great video as always.

Fortunately, I found your channel, and I’m going to use it to learn to understand English by listening. Usually, I understand about 50 percent of native speakers’ speech, if not less. They usually speak very fast, drop many sounds and some of them use slang. This blog is pure gold. I’ve never heard any English native speakers speaking that clearly.

I stayed at 30 Bencoolen Hotel in May 2019. It was less than $100 a night then. I had paid in advance to get an additional discount IIRC. Very nice hotel with breakfast included as well. Prices overall were resonable. Only alcohol was ridiculously expensive 😄 Really can't wait to go back and explore some more. You could have gone on the skywalk between the supertrees. That was pretty good as well. Can't remember the price though. And well, the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, but that would have driven up the cost 😄

Nice vid! I agree with you. The Disney show at Gardens was a poor one. It was a tie-in with the newly released Disney movie at that time. Thankfully, normal service has resumed with regards to the light show. We use S$ or SGD to refer to the local currency SG or SGP is the short for, for the name of the country so we might (very rarely) use $1 SG. Seeing the acronym for Saigon SGN every so often in the video was a bit jarring. Come back again for more.

Beach Road Food (Hawker)Center, short walking distance from Arab Street - Haji Lane . Go in the day time when most shops are opened, though it has some popular stalls that open till dinner time. Not to miss stalls - At the basement: 1) Soup Tulang, bone marrow soup , quite an adventure ! This is a Halal-Malay dish that most tourists has yet to detect in their radar. 2) Vadai, an localised Indian snack , almost like savoury donut if you will, you can stop at one. One bite of the pillowy dough and follow with a tiny bite of the raw green chili . Heaven. 3) Beef Noodle, this is a local Chinese heritage dish, awesome beef broth on the side, you can choose the type of noodles, even rice to go with the soft beef slices and melt in your mouth tendons for the main. Be sure to take the condiment "chinkalok", ask the nice lady she will help. Again, most tourists have yet to pick this up, thinking Chinese food in Singapore is like Chinese food in Chinatowns in western countries. We have very different Chinese food here with a very southeast Asian punch to it. 4) Beach Road Prawn noodle. Again, a very unique dish you won't find in Chinatowns in Europe. You have op for just the soup which comes with prawns and pork ribs. But the dry noodle option is the bomb. 5) Fried Hokkien Noodle, one of the best found in this Hawker Centre. This stall sells out by late afternoons. On the 2nd level, many locals go for 1) Claypot Chicken Rice. This is a slow cook dish that requires about 30mins or more , and hour even during peak dinner time. Again, something most tourists do not hear from other KZbinrs.2) Ah Ball Ling. This is a very old school cantonese dessert stall. They sell mochi like balls in various sweet soups, typically eaten hot. If you are after the famous Singapore chicken rice, cross the overhead bridge to the basement of Golden Mile Tower. One of the most nostalgic place to have authentic chicken rice, and they also serve steamboat (hotpot) to go with it. A very old building that takes you back to 1970s. It can get really crowded there during weekends dinner time , with big family groups! Very nice atmosphere! Ps: forget about what everyone repeats about chicken rice in Maxwell hawker. Locals do not qué for that stall 😂. Hope you will enjoy your trip here!!

I know English is widely used, but what language do people speak, outside of business and education, that is, when local friends are talking among themselves?

Hey Alicia, as a fan of yours, I think I think that not only you, but any/everyone out exploring the island should be focusing it on Pulao Ubin (on its northeast side). 😊 Unlike the metropolitan rest of the island, this island is a forested bit, and will give you a statement you might need you realize if you had not. 😊

I moved from Singapore to Canada because of how expensive life is over there, only for the price to catch up in Canada as well.

When I was in Singapore 3 years ago, I did not like to stay at hostel (cheap, noisy).. but I also did not like to stay at regular hotel (expensive). So, I stayed at Co-Living Hotel named "ST Signature ChinaTown"..(Small Private Cabin S Room with shared bathroom). The price aroung $50 - $75/ night). The best place to stay I got.... strategic location near Maxwell Food Centre (food court), near MRT Station, and many market around South Bridge Rd. 🙂

Thank you for your time and effort in this video, I learned a lot more about Singapore in this video than your previous one. Everything is conveniently located within walking distance or at least the metro will take you where you want to go. Breakfast and lunch are reasonably priced and depends on your choices. public transportation infrastructures are top notch and the city is so so so clean everywhere you walk around. The only con is of course the housing market. it's well known around the world how expensive it's to live in this united states of multicultural island nation. Keep making future awesome videos wherever you go.

It's such sad to see lovely gorgeous women like you alone. I blame Western society for ruining women by deceiving them into being alone and you can do better by yourself girl. For 8 years this lady is still traveling alone.

Loved this video!!! It brought back memories of my visit to Singapore way back in July of 1980. It has modernized quite a bit since then. I loved the view you got from the Skypark Observation Deck. It was awesome. I can imagine it was even better in person. The prices on things you showed there seemed reasonable and good. Prices when I was there were very inexpensive. Obviously the Skypark was expensive but it is very unique. Anyway thanks for this video and good luck on your future travels.

In Singapore, where change is the only constant (and fast-paced change at that), 1980 was a whole era ago. The whole Marina Bay Area (Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer, etc), Changi Airport, the MRT, etc hadn’t been built yet, the Singapore River had just started its clean up and the revitalisation hadn’t begun yet. Sounds like you need a return visit! :)

Singapore is a place for foreigners to work, not live unless you are amongst the top 1% wealthiest people in the world. Only then you will be treated like a king by the government

Guess our food prices are comparable to Bali's esp if u go to cafes in the city. If u go to the more suburban area, it would be slightly cheaper say about S$5 a meal as good as some warungs in Ubud if not cheaper. Can buy avocadoes fr the supermkts n diy and wld be much cheaper. 😊

I’d say Bali is still substantially cheaper and you can also get a wider range of food for less. But having said that, the hawker centres definitely make Singapore a more budget friendly place!

​@@AlinaMcleod that's great to hear because I would be heading there soon! 😄 Yeah, the diff between a city and a developing country, sadly SG is getting really expensive with property flipping and rent increment periodically and many a times for shareholders' interests and our Food and Beverage staff are mostly foreigners and the costs that come with it....

I've been to Singapore many times for both work and leisure and, of course, prices have gone up a lot over the last 20 years. The hotel I stayed at was the Royal Plaza on Scotts - now US$175/night including king bed, breakfast and wifi. Prices for food, MRT, etc...are about the same as they were. There seem to be more tourist "attractions" and I wouldn't have paid $30+ to see those.
