Steps
- 1Take the MRT or buses. You save a lot by walking as well. Wear comfortable sandals or walking shoes. Singapore is a small country with good public transport. You need not take a cab to get to your destination. If you are taking the bus, then a copy of the Singapore Street Directory and the Singapore Bus Guide will help if you are there for more than a couple of days (both are published by Mighty Minds)
- 2Wear light clothing like t-shirts and shorts. People here wear to suit the hot and humid weather. So you needn't spend money buying any thick clothing.
- 3Eat out at famous hawker places like Newton Circus, Lau Pa Sat and other small eateries found everywhere in Singapore. A plate of delicious chicken rice can be found for as low as S$3 dollars which is just nice to fill up a hungry tummy. If you are a big eater, you can always top up rice and meat. The Singapore Tourism Board has a lot of tips for the best hawker centers. Also try the Joo Chiat Rd at East Coast Rd area, which has the most traditional local food delights. Look for hawker stalls and restaurants that have received awards (certificates) for their best dishes or have newspaper articles posted about their dishes.
- 4Go for the latest movies in Singapore on a weekday. You will save some money when you go for a weekday movie instead of a weekend.
- 5Stay at Backpackers Inn or Betelbox Singapore to save on accommodation. The places are decent and clean. You may check out YMCA Hostel as well to compare prices. Other cheap hostels include new ones like City Backpackers Singapore (citybackpackers.com.sg) or even Inn-Crowd (the-inncrowd.com), who has been around for awhile.
- 6If you are allowed to cook at your accommodation, then visit NTUC which is found everywhere at the residential places in Singapore. NTUC is a grocery department where you can purchase fresh fruits and your other raw ingredients to cook. This can save you some money. Other supermarkets will also work, though NTUC is a bit cheaper.
