Hi Martin, great content you made for your 5 hour layover in singapore and i really enjoyed it. Did you use taxi or train ongoing after the maxwell food centre? I just want to make the most time during my 6 hour layover in Singapore. Also what time the latest you gave yourself to check in for departure. Thanks.
Thank you!! I actually walked after visiting Maxwell! I only took a taxi from the airport to maxwell and then back to the airport after visiting the gardens! I got to the airport around 2 hrs before departure. Plenty of time! Changi is super efficient!
Singapore is Asia's most expensive city for luxury living, not for a tourist who eats at a hawker centre* or a coffee shop, takes the public transport, buys his stuffs at a supermarket and stays in a hotel that provides only lodging. *Newton Hawker Centre and the one outside Botanic Gardens are for tourists.
I went to Singapore twice- one in 2008 and 2014. I stayed only stayed in either 4 or 5 star hotels. Way back then, they were affordable. But oh my gosh! I just wanted to book an overnight stay at Sg this time but even the 2 or 3 star hotels are so expensive for a family of 4! They're ranging from $300 and above. No breakfast and the hotels looked very meh! The ones I'd normally stay at are from $800 and above online via Booking, Agoda, etc....Luckily, I'm an IHG member and decided to book directly with the hotel. Guess what? I got us a really nice 4-star- hotel with 2 queen size beds, with breakfast included, and situated adjacent to the Orchard Rd! It pays to do your own research. And thank goodness I watched this reel one time saying that it's best to book directly with the hotels. I only paid $380 for this 4-star-hotel.
Singapore's chicken rice is super nice, amazing places toy went to explore, thanks for the vlog. We're from Sydney as well, Stay connected my Martin!
Thanks for watching!
This made me so hungry!!!
Your content makes me feel the exact same way hahaha
Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but where did you put your luggage? Do they transfer it to your next flight?
@@Hiitamebellax They transferred it to my next flight since it was on the same itinerary
p.s. very valid question (not dumb at all)

THANK YOU!!!

Was your layover really 5h or from living the airport to return to it was 5h?
It was 5 hours in total leaving the from the airport and going back!
did you end up trying the biscoff mcflurry?
Nope…I have major regrets just thinking about it
The average chicken rice in Singapore is actually closer to $3.50~$5, and sometimes $5.5 with a plate of vege. Glad u enjoyed the food in Singapore!
OMG thanks for letting me know! I'm definitely coming back and visiting where the locals go!

I’M HUNGRY TOO 😡
Most tourists always have Tian Tjan chicken rice just because Anthony Bourdain reviewed but it is just a ok chicken rice and not fantastic .
If tian tian is just ok… then I can’t wait to try the “good” places 😋🤩
