Singapore |
|||
 |
Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is much more than skyscrapers and shopping malls. Kids can discover the cultural heritage of Straits Chinese, Indians, Malays and British as you wander through colorful neighborhoods. The island also has large nature reserves, brilliant tropical vegetation, and excellent wildlife parks. |

Fun food – |
||
Singapore has tons of street food that kids will enjoy (stick to hawker stalls rated "A" or "B.") Try Hainanese Chicken Rice, slices of steamed chicken servied with rice, dim sum, char shiu bao (BBQ pork buns), and satays. For young vegetarians and vegans, South Indian fast food outlets such as Ananda Bhavan or Komala Vilas have mild vegetarian meals (and they deliver). Also, the tropical fresh fruits are amazing, Asian pears, mangos, pineapple, tiny bananas, rambutans. |

Take a cruise around Singapore harbor on a Chinese junk, a colorful replica of a Ming dynasty ship. An additional option – high tea with the afternoon cruise. |

| Singapore has so many different neighborhoods, so a good way to get to know the city is a hop on – hop off bus. 22 stops around the city, 2 different routes, including Little India, Sultan Gate, Boat Quay and more. Tickets are valid for 24 hours and you can board the double-decker bus anywhere on the route. | |||
