The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works of many Singaporeans’ travel plans. Even with travel restrictions lifted for specific countries, Singaporeans still have to fulfil several criteria to enjoy quarantine-free travel. The costs and hassle have dissuaded many from taking advantage of the vaccinated travel lanes (VTL) between Singapore and other nations.
If your travel plans have been similarly disrupted due to the pandemic and you are opting to wait for less stringent travel measures, why not consider exploring our sunny island in the meantime to satisfy your wanderlust?
Singapore has always been renowned as a food paradise, with numerous hawker delights to whet the appetites of even the fussiest eaters. However, there is more to Singapore than just food. Let us compile a guide for those keen on rediscovering our sunny island! Just a head’s up, this itinerary involves a fair bit of travelling. So you may want to consider a mini-bus rental if you and your family wish to travel in comfort and style.
Start the day with a sumptuous breakfast at Dignity Kitchen
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! So why not start the day right with a sumptuous breakfast at Dignity Kitchen? If you are unfamiliar with the eatery, Dignity Kitchen utilises a food court concept that serves a variety of local delights.
The eatery is a unique undertaking carried out by Project Dignity, which provides sponsored training for unemployed adults with special needs. Graduates from the programme are then hired to work in the food court, ensuring they have a stable income.
Despite its main purpose as a social enterprise, the food served at Dignity Kitchen is of quality, and the portions are generous. So you are not just supporting a worthy cause but also leaving with a satisfied tummy. Moreover, the eatery is conveniently located at 69 Boon Keng Road and is easily accessible by your private shuttle bus.
Pony riding experience at Singapore Turf Club
After a hearty meal, you can sit back and relax in your private hire bus as the driver takes your family for a leisurely drive to the Singapore Turf Club Riding Centre for an unforgettable pony riding experience that is sure to delight your kids!
Realise your inner horseback dreams with the centre’s horsing riding tour, which costs $98 per person. This package grants your family an exclusive 30-minute tour of the stable with an additional 15-minute horse or pony riding session, allowing you to get up close and personal with the horses. You can even pet and feed them yourselves.
Unwind at Jewel Changi Airport
If horseback riding is not your forte, you may wish to indulge your inner shopaholic by visiting Jewel Changi Airport. With various luxury fashion brands lined up around every corner of the shopping mall, it is as if you have been transported to Via Monte Napoleone in Milan.
However, there is more to Jewel Changi Airport than being a shopping paradise. Once you step out of your private hire bus, your family will be greeted by multiple attractions competing for their attention.
One attraction your family should visit is the Canopy Park, which is located at the topmost level of Jewel. This recreational wonderland measures 14,000 square metres and is truly a playground for all ages. Whether your family wishes to take a stroll along the creative garden trails or take a thrilling glide down the Discovery Slides, there is plenty to keep them occupied throughout the day.
