Alright, everybody! Welcome to a new week of cheap eats, cheap drinks and cheap things to do in Singapore!
The Food Place
This will probably be right up your alley. Just a few hundred steps away from the Bugis cultural district lies a building equally well-known among Singapore’s visitors. Let’s head up–to the 70th floor of Swissôtel The Stamford Hotel, where we’ll find a sleek British establishment overlooking the Singapore skyline. Helmed by Devon-born Kirk Westaway, Jaan (meaning rice bowl in the Cambodian language) has established itself as a respected name in Singapore’s fine dining scene, complete with 1 Michelin star. Lunch sets start from $98++ with optional wine-pairing.
2 Stamford Road, Level 70, 178882
Opening hours: Mon-Sat 12pm to 2.30pm, 7pm to 10.30pm; closed on Sun
Dress code: Elegant
Nearest MRT: City Hall (or book a limousine)
The Coffee Place
Sick of cafes? Yeah, we feel you. They start to look the same after your 101st visit. Instead of making you take the MRT to some obscure neighbourhood for its kopitiam, let’s head downtown this week to…Orchard! Situated along Scotts Road is Hong Kong import, The Coffee Academics. Best known for selling $85 espresso (yes, price per cup) in 2017, the institution also allows you to personalise your own blends to take home with you.

The Chill Place
Dinner and chill? There’s no better place to do it than up in the sky watching the sunset over Marina Bay. If you didn’t already know, the Singapore Flyer allows you to book a private dining capsule so you can kick back with a glass of wine while riding a giant Ferris wheel that takes you 165 m above ground. Packages for two start from only $1.980, and you can choose to enjoy the Western, Chinese or Vegetarian menu.
