Getting there & around

From the airport

Singapore’s main airport is Changi (SIN). The MRT is reliable: board at Changi Airport station at T2/T3, transfer at Tanah Merah, and allow about 35-50 minutes to City Hall, Marina Bay or Orchard depending on the final stop. Taxis and ride-hail usually take about 20-35 minutes to central hotels, longer in peak rain or traffic. Public bus 36 reaches Orchard and Marina/Suntec areas in about 60-75 minutes. Seletar Airport is minor; taxi is usually 25-40 minutes, or take bus 102 to the North East Line and continue by MRT, often 60+ minutes.

Around the city

Use the MRT and buses for most trips; the network is clean, frequent and reaches the main hotel areas. Visitors can tap in and out with a contactless Visa/Mastercard or mobile wallet via SimplyGo, buy an EZ-Link card, or choose a Singapore Tourist Pass if planning many rides. Always tap out on buses. Keep taxis or ride-hail for late-night returns, heavy luggage, rain, or cross-island trips; last MRT trains are generally around midnight, so check the exact station time.

Zén

Restaurant★★★ MichelinLa Liste 97.5$$$$2.9 km

(The restaurant is temporarily closed.) The celebrity chef of Frantzén fame has opened his third Asian venture in this shophouse. Diners are offered an aperitif and amuse-bouche on the first floor, before the eight-course neo-Nordic, seafood-slanted tasting menu with Japanese influences unfolds on the second floor. The onion course is a tour de force whose flavours are intensified by contrasting textures and temperatures. The non-alcoholic drink pairing sees eccentric combos that nonetheless work.

Sushi Sakuta

Restaurant★★ Michelin$$$$1.2 km

The space is simple yet elegant, befitting the hotel that houses it. There is a 10-seat counter made from a 200-year-old cypress tree from Nara, Japan, plus a private room. Chef-owner Sakuta works closely with the all-Japanese kitchen team, creating a season-driven omakase menu based exclusively on Japanese fish. Even the rice is a blend of two Japanese cultivars in a precise ratio for the perfect texture. Every item is prepared with utmost care.

Restaurant★★ MichelinWorld's 50 Best #28$$$1.5 km

Chef Sun Kim hails from Korea's Busan and his refined modern cooking combines Korean traditions and bold flavours with minimalist plating. The single tasting menu is dominated by seafood and vegetables, as seen in steamed Jeju abalone with gochujang seaweed risotto – the tender mollusc, creamy rice and crunchy lily bulbs feature contrasting textures. In addition to wine pairing, the non-alcoholic Korean drink flight is also worth trying.

Website

Thevar

Restaurant★★ Michelin$$$$1.6 km

Chef Mano Thevar serves a creative multi-course menu rooted in Indian traditions and crafted with European techniques. Signature dishes such as Chettinad chicken roti or Brittany lobster in curry beurre blanc pack a ton of oomph, while maintaining a fine balance with mindful touches. A vegetarian version is available but needs pre-ordering. The wine list covers 600+ labels; ask about wine, sake and non-alcoholic drink pairings.

Shoukouwa

Restaurant★★ MichelinLa Liste 96.5$$$$1.8 km

Hailing from Nagoya, the Japanese head chef champions a refined, elegant approach to sushi. The menus emphasise freshness and star white fish alongside other luxury seasonal produce. Ingredients are shipped from Japan four times a week and sushi rice from Yamagata and Ishikawa prefectures is mixed in a specific ratio to the best effect. Sushi is served with two sauces to accentuate the umami of the fish. The extensive sake list offers pairing options by the glass.
