Let’s do morning activities! Take a walk along the river to the Bay Area & compare the taste of Kaya Toast at a long-established restaurant. Morning activities for overseas travel are quite important, as you want to start the day with a good workout and a delicious breakfast. Even if you are feeling tired from yesterday’s workout (……), your body will wake up after a little exercise. The Singapore River Walk is a perfect morning activity in Singapore. The promenade along the Singapore River is a safe place to start the morning with many runners. You will surely have a great start to your day if you feel the history of the area that brought prosperity to Singapore. You can also go to “Merlion Park” to greet the Merlion statue in the morning sun. After a light workout, you can go for another run to “Yakun Kaya Toast” for charcoal-grilled kaya toast. It was actually about a minute’s walk from the hotel where we were staying, so we smoothly entered the restaurant just after 8:00 a.m. I ordered the Kaya Toast with Butter (S$2.6). Thinly sliced bread, crispy on a charcoal fire, filled with kaya jam and butter! Enjoy it while it is crispy & hot. Most people ordered the “Kaya Toast with Butter Set” (S$5.6), which comes with kopi (coffee with lots of condensed milk) and an egg. After the original charbroiled kaya toast, we went to “Mami Chin” in Katong to compare the two, which can be reached by MRT or bus, but it is best to take a Grab to get there quickly. When you see the bright pastel blue store, you have arrived. The key here is “Kaya Toast” made with original round bread. For my second breakfast of the day, I ordered the “Kaya Toast Set” (S$5.2) to try the traditional one with eggs. A half-boiled egg is mixed with soy sauce. I put it generously on the Kaya Toast and bit into it. The sweet-savory taste is addictive! There was a kindness there that I would not get tired of even if I ate it every day. By the way, if you come to Katong, don’t forget to take a stroll in this area, which retains a strong Pranakan culture! We also visited “Tiong Bahru Bakery-Safari” on Dempsey Hill, an area of the British military barracks, on a different day. This store has a reputation for its excellent French-style bread. It is also a short walk from the Singapore Botanical Gardens, so you can visit after admiring the beauty of the National Orchid Garden, which we introduced in our previous article. The authentic bread and drink served under a safari-style tent is the perfect way to start your day. Please spend a wonderful time around the table with your family and friends, discussing your schedule for the day.
9:00 – 12:00] Sweets, photos, and original orders are all available around Dempsey Hill. If you have already gone to the aforementioned Dempsey Hill area for breakfast, the best thing to do is to enjoy the lush green surroundings. The area, which is currently the talk of the town, has been renovated from a British army barracks, and many facilities have made good use of the land. First is the Museum of Ice Cream Singapore (S$36 on weekdays, S$42 on weekends). This one is for families and students. There are a lot of photo spots, such as a wall of images, and many other contents that are designed to be attractive to the public. Of course, as the name “ice cream” implies, there are all-you-can-eat mini ice creams in the museum. You can even take pictures of yourself eating ice cream, and each area has different flavors, such as “Pink Vanilla,” “Apple Pie,” and the vegan “Pandan,” so it is fun to find your favorite. Next, visit the “Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie” chocolate store in Dempsey Hill, a 3-minute walk from the museum. You can purchase bean to bar chocolates made from cacao imported from all over Asia. The best part is that you can order “Build Your Own Chocolate” ($21.9), which is available in 48% milk chocolate or 72% dark chocolate. You can choose 48% milk chocolate or 72% dark chocolate, and you can make your own bar by combining nuts, dried fruits, and other toppings. Be sure to try the “Bean-to-Bar Journey” ($18), which offers a tasting experience. From cacao nibs to cacao drinks and bars. You can learn the process from cacao nibs to cacao drinks, bars, and bonbons and sablés sold in the store in a delicious way.
12:00～14:00】Argentine cuisine and sweets with a Japanese twist After receiving the original chocolates, head to Orchard Road, Singapore’s central business district, about 7 minutes by car from Dempsey Hill. The goal is the Argentinian restaurant “1-ATICO: FIRE” at Aion Orchard. I had tasted a variety of cuisines during my stay, including Chinese, Malay, and Planacan, but I dared to choose Argentinian cuisine here. The dishes prepared with the fire unique to Argentina, including parilla (BBQ) style with wood-fired apples and almonds, are truly the best of the best. The beauty of the presentation and the view from the sky also add to the sense of luxury. We also introduce Le Matin Patisserie, a popular café in the same Aion Orchard building. Perfect for a break from shopping. The chef’s signature bake, Queenie Amant ($7.50), has a unique visual appeal. The cakes are also characterized by their unique lineup, including the “Korean White Peach” ($16), which looks just like a peach; the “Kombu Tart” ($9), made with kombu seaweed, ginger, and white chocolate; and the “Sake Lees Choux Bun” ($14), a mousse cake with the aroma of sake kasu (sake lees). The lineup is characterized by its unique twist.

At the workshop attached to the store, you can arrange fabric colors, strings, and side stoppers, and choose a pattern from three types: wave, ivy, and gate, and fix it to the fabric using high-temperature steam. While working quickly, as it takes only an hour to finish, there was a lot of excitement in the color selection! Everyone was very satisfied with the unique pieces that were created without any color mismatch. Next, we also had a special opportunity to visit the “Local Tea Ceremony Experience. This is an hour-long Chinese tea ceremony, where you will learn how to make and taste tea, making it a perfect afternoon tea break. The location is also easily accessible, about a 2-minute walk from the Maxwell Food Center in Chinatown. It is best to arrive with an empty stomach, as it is a light afternoons with tea leaf cakes, two kinds of bums, and several cups of tea.
17:00 – 20:00] From entertaining to creative. Experience Singaporean Chinese food that will surely satisfy you! Singapore is a melting pot of races. Among them, many are of Chinese descent. This naturally leads to an increase in the variety of Chinese cuisine. Restaurants are also exploring new genres through trial and error. One of the most talked-about entertainment Chinese restaurants is THE DRAGON CHAMBER. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary restaurant, but if you make a reservation at ……, a hidden door to a beer fridge suddenly opens and you are taken to the back of the restaurant. All the dishes served are more visual than you can imagine. Noodles stand up like objects, pineapples are surrounded by flames, and the restaurant looks like modern art. If you are looking for creative Sichuan cuisine, how about BIRDS OF A FEATHER? The menu features dishes from Chengdu, China. Moreover, it is conveniently located on Amoy Street, the hottest area for bars and restaurants, and just a short walk from the Telok Air MRT station. The menu boasts a wide variety of dishes, from an appetizer with caviar that is beautiful to the eye to garlic rice topped with truffles and hot chicken popcorn that is strongly influenced by Sichuan cuisine. Delicate or dynamic, each plate is a delight.
20:00-22:00] Singapore’s nightlife is still young! 3 recommended bars that even beginners can enjoy Have you ever visited bars in your travel destinations? It is not easy to go to a bar unless you are tired from sightseeing during the day and want to go back to your hotel or you are not in the mood to go out. However, I am still curious about local bars and would like to visit one at least once. And Singapore is a bar paradise where the best bars in Asia gather. So this time, I decided to visit a bar with some of my older colleagues, who are dependable drinkers. Our first stop was “MAMA DIAM,” a bar with a nostalgic atmosphere inspired by Singapore’s unique retail stores of the 1980s and 1990s. As the staff in shorts and T-shirts of the era led us through the store, we found a hidden door behind the bookshelves of the store! The bar in the back is a popular place to enjoy a drink with a twist. For example, the “Chai Tarik Brew” ($18) is a cocktail with condensed milk in a can. The name “Chai Tarik Brew” ($18), for example, comes from the old days when kopi (coffee) in plastic bags could not be left until the drink was finished, so it was put in a can and hung on a string to be carried around. It is truly an old-school Singaporean cup of coffee. Next, we went to “Native,” which serves avant-garde cocktails made with local ingredients, with a bar on the second floor and a menu development lab on the third floor where a variety of bottled ingredients are fermenting. There are many visually innovative cocktails, such as the “ANTS” ($28) with edible ants, the mysterious “PERANAKAN” ($26) with purple jelly, and the “TREE OF LIFE” ($26) with a whole coconut, You can also have dinner at the restaurant on the first floor, and then go up to the bar for bar time. Lastly, head to “JIGGER & PONY,” which was voted one of the “50 Best Bars in Asia” and won first place in 2020. The bar is an ideal place to enjoy a quiet atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. The multinational staff is friendly, and the Japanese-speaking staff will be happy to serve you. The comfortable atmosphere is unforgettable, with casual recommendations of recommended cocktails for beginners. The hospitality of the staff made me want to come back again.
