Coriander Leaf
Slide into a wicker chair far from Clarke Quay's madding architecture and peruse a menu traversing Australian, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese culinary stylings. The desserts are stellar, and it also runs cooking courses .

Asian Civilisations Museum
Inside a grand old Empress Place building (1865) named in honour of Queen Victoria, the Asian Civilisations Museum is a must for any Singapore visit - escape the humidity, put your watch in your pocket and enter a timeless realm. Ten thematic galleries explore traditional aspects of pan-Asian culture and civilisation, with exquisite, well-displayed artefacts from Southeast Asia, China, India, Sri Lanka and even Turkey.

Harry's Bar
One-time hangout of Barings Bank-breaker Nick Leeson, Harry's jazzy blues mingles well with night-time river views, but somehow seems to miss the whole 'My woman left me and my dog ate my money' point of it all. Still, it's not a bad spot for an ale. Music starts at . It has another venue across the river at the Esplanade.

Underwater World
Sentosa's saving grace, Gracie the dugong is the star performer at Underwater World. Leafy seadragons and wobbling Medusa jellyfish are mesmeric, while stingrays and 10ft sharks cruise inches from your face as they traverse Ocean Colony's submerged glass tubes. Watch divers feeding the fish, or muster some nerve for the 30-minute Dive with the Sharks experience (from per person; call for details and bookings).

Happy
Officialdom forbids kissing and taking your shirt off at Happy but that doesn't seem to stop anyone. It's mostly full of buff boys, but girls are welcome too. Indulge your inner 'Happysexual' (the signature cocktail).

Samy's Curry Restaurant
For 25 years the ceiling fans have spun above Samy's munificent curries in this leafy, open-walled, timber-shuttered colonial throwback. The fish-head curry is sublime, or wolf down chicken, lamb and vego delights. Come early for a veranda table.

Andhra Curry
This easy going restaurant prides itself on fiery recipes from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Order up some Andhra Hyderabadi biryani (rice dish), or absorb a flavoursome punch from the lamb dry curry. On Sunday nights it's mayhem!

Singapore Botanic Gardens
It sounds like an experiment from Frankenstein, but 'Connecting Plants with People' is the catchcry at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Wide green spaces like these are rare in Singapore - perfect for jetlag recovery, picnics, reading a paper or just wandering around aimlessly.

Sri Mariamman Temple
Paradoxically in the middle of Chinatown, Sri Mariamman is the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, originally built in 1823, then rebuilt in 1843. You can't miss the incredible technicolour 1930s gopuram (tower) above the entrance, key to the temple's South-Indian Dravidian style. Sacred cow sculptures graze the boundary walls, while the gopuram is covered in over-the-top images of Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver and Shiva the destroyer.

Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay
Architecturally out-of-this-world, Singapore's million Esplanade is the poster-boy for contemporary Singapore. Architects wanted to challenge ingrained conservatism, and they succeeded - the centre has been compared to flies' eyes, melting honeycomb, two upturned durians, and called a whole lot of rude words we can't repeat here. There's a nonstop programme of international and local performances, some great restaurants and free outdoor acts.
