Transportation
The best way to absorb the atmosphere is to stroll around the city by feet, but if you want to see a bit distant places the MRT (local metro) should be your preffered option. It is the most convenient option as well when you want to reach the city centre from the Changi airport, the route takes about 25 minutes - with the green line.
The public transport card can be purchased directly at the airport in dedicated vending machines, the card comes with the 3 S$ credit and costs 5 S$. BUT, you can choose your preffered design😃I opted for Toy Story. TOP UP is possible only with a CASH for now.
The bus is as well a good and convenient option. Fun fact the doubledeckers can be found here.

Food guide
Singapore is well-know for its variety of cuisines. Considering the history and dominance in the country it is nothing to be surprised of. Moreover, as typical in the SEA region other asian cuisines can be found as well.
Make a use of the diversity and try different food ;)
Typical Singaporean dishes are:
🔸Noodles: Char Kway Teow, Hokkien Prawn Mee
🔸Soup: Laksa, Bak Kut Teh (Meat Bone Tea/Pork Ribs Soup), Wanton Mee
🔸Others: Hainanese Chicken Rice, Chilli Crab, Fried Carrot Cake (not a dessert), Oyster Omelette
🔸Breakfast: Kaya (coconut jam) toast with butter and soft-boiled egg

Shopping
The main shopping street for locals as well is the Orchard Road. Basically it can be described as a line of the shopping malls where you can easily enter one from another.
Some options there:
Another option is ofc the Marina Bay Sands shopping mall.
