*For Filipinos who haven’t been living in the Philippines and missed the taste of Pinoy food and delicacies, Lucky Plaza is perfect for you. It is one of the malls in Singapore I visited more than once just to eat at the Jolibee Restaurant and taste some of the Pinoy food I haven’t tasted in years such as sisig, lechon, halo-halo and more. Oh! How I missed the Pinoy-style burger and spaghetti. 😀

10. Chinatown – a 15-minute train ride from Little India via Jalan Besar MRT Station, Chinatown is a perfect place to shop for cheap Singapore souvenirs to give your loved ones such as bags, coin purses, key chains, mugs, ref magnets, tee-shirts, and more.

11. Fort Canning Park – the best place to visit whenever you need a long strut with your favorite pet dog, or to breathe some fresh air. Fort Canning Park offers you a refreshing sight if you want to have a break from the city life. Aside from the beautiful green scenery, you can also see some of its historical artifacts and rich heritage and tranquility. Fort Canning Park is also a “host to concerts, festivals and theatre productions such as Ballet Under the Stars, Films at the Fort, and Shakespeare in the Park.”

12. Buddha Tooth Relic Temple – a large temple which can be found just within Chinatown, built only in 2007 but the art exhibits the Buddhists’ ancient rich culture. “The temple gets its name from what the Buddhists regard as the left canine tooth of Buddha, which has been recovered from his funeral pyre in Kushinagar, India and displayed in its grounds.” Be mindful of what you wear when you go inside the temple, though. They do not allow ladies who wear shorts unless you wear that long skirt they give you.
