Glamorous Entertaining
If you are looking for somewhere to entertain a visitor to Singapore - or entertain yourself, these would be my Secret Seven suggestions, in alphabetical order:
Secret Seven Hotels and Restaurants - oops, now it's eight - I'll make that ten.
Clarke Quay - boats, boat trips, flowers, fountains, riverside restaurants.
Gardens By The Bay - a day out. Expensive restaurants - or simple outdoor eating at a hawker centre is expensive but then it's back to the waterfalls and trees and flowers. Plus souvenirs of clothes or pot plants.
IO - Italian in Hillv2 - go for lunch or a take away or catering or just for the desserts
Marina Bay Sands (Very pricey top to the tower restaurants and bars and must book. We stayed in Singapore with a friend for a fortnight and took him there on our last night. He was so impressed that when his teenage children visited him from overseas he took them there for one night in the bedroom to enjoy the rooftop infinity swimming pool with views over the city.
Night Safari (on site evening buffet can be booked) see the animals having their supper at twilight.
Park Royal Hotel - (Limes Restaurant) (Coffee is $7++ - total about $10 just for the coffee.)
Raffles Hotel - history, shops, restaurants at all prices and delis, Singapore Sling in the bar or just walk around, or stay at the expensive hotel
Sheraton Towers Hotel (dine by the indoor waterfall)
Table at 7 restaurant for dinner (Degustation or tasting menu about $88.) Does outside catering for grand affairs such dinners for ministers - not religious ones I presume but the government(s).
Tippling Club restaurant, where neither the plates nor the foods are names, colours or shapes you have seen before.
Tippling Restaurant. Unusual food. Quirky surroundings. Expensive gourmet.
(See my previous posts.)
Can't afford it? You can walk through the Sheraton Towers Hotel and the Park Royal Hotel. Just put on your smartest, prettiest clothes so you can pose for photos and look the part. Walk around and budget $20 for a coffee or cake in elegant surroundings.

Even a glass of water at Table at 7 restaurant is served in style in a fine-lipped glass subtly advertising Aquapanna bottled water
TABLE AT 7 RESTAURANT. Fine flavours.
