💸 To Cash or Not to Cash

Singapore is a modern city that's fully embraced digital payments.

Wireless payment options like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay & Paywave are widely accepted in shops and restaurants throughout the city. This means you can easily pay without worrying about carrying cash or finding small change. Plus, it's super convenient!

But, here's the deal - while hawker food stalls are slowly getting with the times, some restaurants and most food stalls still only accept cold, hard cash. So, it's a smart move to have some cash on hand for these situations.

But, hold up - there's some good news too! You can also score some sweet deals & discounts by using apps like Fave & Shopback. Cha-ching!

Overall, while you can survive on just wireless payments in Singapore, having some cash as a backup is always a good idea. So, pack some cash in your wallet, just in case you stumble upon a hidden gem that only takes cash.

Kampong Glam | Arab Street

@wfw

If you're heading to Singapore & looking for a cool neighbourhood to stay in, I highly recommend checking out Kampong Glam, Arab Street, Bugis, or Bras Basah. These areas are some of my personal favourites to hang out in & I think you'll love them too. Let's start with Kampong Glam - this area is full of history and character, and you'll find plenty of charming shops and cafes along Arab Street. Plus, the colourful shophouses and stunning Sultan Mosque make for some great photo ops. This vibrant neighbourhood is home to a thriving Muslim community & is famous for its textile shops & halal food ranging from traditional Malay restaurants to a myriad of international cuisines. If you're looking for some delicious halal food or want to pick up some unique fabrics or souvenirs, this is the place to be. If you're into shopping, Bugis is a must-visit. You'll find everything from high-end boutiques to bargain stalls at the famous Bugis Street Market. And when you're ready for a break, there are plenty of hawker centres and cafes to refuel at. Bras Basah is a great neighbourhood for art & culture lovers. You can check out some of the city's best museums and galleries, or wander the streets & check out the many murals & street art installations.

📝 Other Things to Note

👀 Know the rules

Singapore is pretty famous for our rules & regulations, you know? Don't go spitting on the street, throwing your cigarette butt in the drain or sticking your gum on public property, because if you get caught, you could end up with a fine! Most of the laws are pretty straightforward, but let me tell you, if you mess with stuff like vandalism, you could end up in the slammer, or worse, getting caned! And for drug-related offences, yikes, you might even face the death penalty. But hey, all that hard work pays off, because Singapore is actually one of the safest countries in the world!

🛃 Know the customs rules & duty-free concessions

If you're looking to save some cash on booze & smokes, then listen up! Singapore ain't playing around when it comes to their duty-free policies, so make sure you do your homework before you hit up the airport. Here's the deal: for alcohol, you can bring in a total of one litre each of spirits, wine, and beer, OR two litres of wine and one litre of beer (and the other way around works too). As for tobacco, unfortunately, there's no duty-free allowance except for one already-opened pack. And just so you know, e-tobacco products are a no-go. Don't get caught out and slapped with some serious fines - do the right thing and follow the rules!

🪙 Additional tipping not necessary

When you're cruising around Singapore, don't sweat it if you don't know whether to tip or not. It ain't really a thing here, but if you get some A+ service, feel free to show your appreciation with a little something extra. At the smaller shops & hawker centres, you'll find an all-inclusive "net" price so you don't gotta worry about calculating anything. And for most services in shops, there's an 8% goods & services tax (GST). But when you hit up the cafes, restaurants or bars, keep an eye out for a "plus-plus" or "++" on your menu, 'cause you're gonna get hit with an additional 10% service charge on top of your bill. Now you're all set to enjoy your time in Singapore like a local!
